This study uses communication, critical race theory (CRT), and storytelling to examine environmental racism and environmental justice efforts. In New Mexico’s Petroglyph National Monument, a conflict emerged when officials moved protected rock carvings to build a road through the park. When creating the monument, stakeholders evoked cultural and environmental protectionism. Yet, proroad campaig...

of these for certain types of scene, so we hope to be able to label lines and nodes successfully without any type of coding. We investigate recent ideas in the design of irinocular active range-sensors. Such devices have the advantage of freedom from mechanical scanning, and rapid image capture. The main technical problem is overcoming the correspondence problem. This requires careful geometric...

In this paper we study a new optimality criterion, the K-optimality criterion, for constructing optimal experimental designs for polynomial regression models. We focus on the pth order polynomial regression model with symmetric design space [−1, 1]. For this model, we show that there is always a symmetric K-optimal design with exactly p + 1 support points including the boundary points −1 and 1....

Creativity is an important topic in design research. Attempts have been made to develop methods and tools that can help designers become more creative. Yet how and why creativity occurs is still unknown to researchers. In this paper, we propose a theoretical model for creative design. This theoretical model builds on two postulates: 1) design reasoning follows a nonlinear dynamics, which may be...
