Who Cares? Arnstein’s Ladder, the Emotional Paradox of Public Engagement, and (Re)imagining Planning as Caring
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-27)Problem, research strategy, and findings: What should planners do when members of the public “care loudly” at them? Planning scholars have recently called for more attention to the emotional dimensions of our profession. ... -
Public Attitudes on Transgender Military Service: The Role of Gender
(SAGE Publications, 2019-07-11)Policy regarding the inclusion of transgender soldiers in the U.S. military has shifted back and forth in recent years, with public opinion likely a significant factor shaping the eventual policy outcome. As such, this ... -
EFFECT OF CRACK-REDUCING TECHNOLOGIES AND SUPPLEMENTARY CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS ON SETTLEMENT CRACKING OF PLASTIC CONCRETE AND DURABILITY PERFORMANCE OF HARDENED CONCRETE
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2019-09)The effects of crack-reducing technologies and supplementary cementitious materials on plastic settlement cracking and the durability of concrete subjected to freezing and thawing were evaluated. The study of settlement ... -
History of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Kansas, 1886-1970
(University of Kansas, Kansas University Endowment Association, 1976)Francis Huntington Snow, in 1866, was the first member of the faculty to teach mathematics in The University of Kansas. From this auspicious beginning, mathematics developed into one of the major departments in the University; ... -
American public opinion of Denmark during the German occupation, 1940-1945
(University of Kansas, 1957-05-31)The purpose of this thesis is to study American public-opinion of Denmark during the German occupation from April 9, 1940, to May 5, 1945. -
Ethnic Minorities’ Social Media Political Use: How Ingroup Identification, Selective Exposure, and Collective Efficacy Shape Social Media Political Expression
(Oxford University Press, 2019-05-08)Latinos represent a large ethnic minority group in the United States, but their political participation, including on social media, is low compared to other groups. Guided by social identity and social cognitive theories, ... -
Categorization by Organization: Manipulation of Disability Categories in a Racially Desegregated School District
(2019-07)We propose and test the concept of categorical manipulation, a process in which subordinate group demands for greater access to high status categories are met with reversals in the hierarchy of existing categories. The ... -
Effects of Internal Curing, Slag, and Silica Fume on Concrete Shrinkage
(American Concrete Institute, 2018-07)The shrinkage of mixtures containing replacements of total aggregate with prewetted lightweight aggregate (LWA) (0, 8, and 10% by volume) and replacements of cement with Grade 100 slag cement (0 and 30% by volume) and ... -
Corrosion-Induced Concrete Cracking for Uncoated and Galvanized Reinforcing Bars
(American Concrete Institute, 2018-11)Corrosion-related cracking in reinforced concrete is caused by expansive corrosion products and the resulting tensile stresses. While the amount of corrosion to cause cracking has been studied for uncoated conventional ... -
Effect of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on Chloride Threshold and Corrosion Rate of Reinforcement
(American Concrete Institute, 2019-01-01)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are commonly used as a means of reducing cost, reducing environmental impact, or reducing permeability of concrete, but the current field of research has found mixed results ... -
Probabilistic graphical techniques for automated ice-bottom tracking and comparison between state-of-the-art solutions
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)We present improvements to existing frameworks for automated extraction of ice interfaces applied to two-dimensional and three-dimensional radar echograms of polar ice sheets. These improvements consist of novel image ... -
Stability and Control Derivatives Identification for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Low Cost Sensors Using an Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) tend to be autonomous vehicles. Thus, they require control algorithms. More advanced control algorithms can be developed when high quality UAS dynamic models are available. It is common to ... -
Diagonally-Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams with High-Strength Steel Bars
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)The use of high-strength steel in diagonally reinforced coupling beams was investigated with the aims of minimizing reinforcement congestion and increasing the maximum permissible design shear stress without compromising ... -
ARRAY PROCESSING TECHNIQUES FOR ESTIMATION AND TRACKING OF AN ICE-SHEET BOTTOM
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)Ice bottom topography layers are an important boundary condition required to model the flow dynamics of an ice sheet. In this work, using low frequency multichannel radar data, we locate the ice bottom using two types of ... -
Evolution of novel genetic programs: insights from flower and fruit development
(University of Kansas, 2019-08-31)An outstanding question in evolutionary biology is how genetic programs (interaction between multiple genes or their products) that define novel phenotypes evolve. There are two major ways such genetic programs that define ... -
Assessment of Referring Providers Use and Perceptions of the Burnett Burn Assessment and Management Tool for Estimating Burn Size
(University of Kansas, 2019-08-31)Accurate assessment of burn percentage and depth are critical aspects in the initial assessment of the burn patient and guide both the immediate clinical management and subsequent need for follow up. To better assist ... -
Utilization of the Short Form Zarit Burden Interview to Screen Dementia Caregivers for Caregiver Burden in the Clinic Setting
(University of Kansas, 2019-08-31)Informal caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are known to have increased caregiver burden. Research has shown caregiver burden places persons with ADRD and their caregivers at increased ... -
