The Adult Working-Age Population in the JPS Health Network in Tarrant County, Texas: A Report Submitted to the JPS Health Network Administration
Date: August 15, 2002
Creator: Eve, Susan; Koelln, Kenneth; Trevino, Fernando M.; Urrutia-Rojas, Ximena & Baumer, Joane
Description: This report summarizes the results of a survey of adult, working-aged patients in a large, urban, tax-supported county healthcare system, consisting of an inpatient hospital facility and eight community health centers. The major objectives of this research project were to assess the patients' access to healthcare, factors affecting their access, and their health status. The system was the John Peter Smith (JPS) Health Network in Tarrant County, Texas. In the introductory section, the authors will first briefly describe the healthcare delivery system for the uninsured and/or indigent population in Texas in general, and in Tarrant County specifically. Next the authors will outline the methodology used in a telephone survey of the adult patients in the JPS system. In sections that follow in the appended material, the authors will summarize the highlights of the descriptive analysis of the data from this phase of this project in a narrative, followed by presentation of complete descriptive tables and graphs.

Applications of Logic Flowcharting With a Focus in Autonomous Robotic Operations
Date: 2012
Creator: Sink, Ashley Elizabeth; Gscheidle, Karl H.; Namuduri, Kamesh; Li, Li & Sterling, Phillip
Description: This report discusses applications of logic flowcharting with a focus in autonomous robotic operations. Abstract: The focus of this research project was to determine interactivity between flowcharting algorithms and programming of various robotic platforms. We explored various flowcharting schemes and applications and implemented them on programming platforms for Acroname Garcia robots and LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0. The flowcharting and programming experiences have been used to develop a lesson plan on logic and the fundamentals of programming that will be used in high school Engineering Design and Problem Solving classes.

Applications of wireless sensors in monitoring Indoor Air Quality in the classroom environment
Date: 2012
Creator: Chamberlain, Blaine; Jordan, Georgette; Li, Xinrong; Thompson, Ruthanne; Borkar, Chirag & Mansour, Sahar
Description: This report discusses applications of wireless sensors in monitoring Indoor Air Quality in the classroom environment. Abstract: The focus of this research project was to investigate Indoor Air Quality monitoring technologies, government regulations and policies, and best practices to improve IAQ while minimizing the adverse effect of poor IAQ, specifically in the classroom environment. The investigation involved two parts: development of a cost effective indoor air quality prototype sensor unit and the deployment of the unit to monitor 5 different indoor locations. The data from the sample monitoring locations will then be compiled and analyzed. In addition, researching the literature was instrumental in establishing the parameters for testing the environment and conducting experiments. This provided valuable experiences which will be shared with both district teachers and students.

An Assessment of the DART LRT on Taxable Property Valuations and Transit Oriented Development
Date: September 2002
Creator: Weinstein, Bernard & Clower, Terry
Description: This report, by the University of North Texas Center for Economic Development and Research, is an update on previous studies of the direct and indirect economic impacts of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. Two specific topics addressed in detail are how the proximity to an LRT station affected taxable property values and to what degree the DART rail is serving as a catalyst for transit-oriented development (TOD).

Assessment of the Potential Fiscal Impacts of Existing and Proposed Transit-Oriented Development in the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Service Area
Date: November 2007
Creator: Clower, Terry; Weinstein, Bernard & Seman, Michael
Description: This report by the University of North Texas Center for Economic Development and Research gives an assessment of the fiscal impacts of transit-oriented development associated with development of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART)light rail system. This analysis considers development near existing and planned light rail stations. The findings support the conclusion that the transit-oriented developments associated with DART Rail stations offer substantial fiscal impacts for local taxing entities.
