Managing Indigenous Knowledge And Traditional Cultural Expressions: Is Technology The Solution?

This paper discusses current issues surrounding the management of indigenous knowledge (IK) and traditional cultural expressions (TCEs) in libraries, archives and other cultural institutions. It addresses the need for: (1) ethical policies for the management of these knowledge systems, (2) critical approaches to the dominant library paradigm of information management, (3) recent efforts by the World Intellectual Property Organization and the American Library Association to craft policy on this topic, and (4) the need for and examples of collaboration with indigenous communities. Implications for social change with the implementation of socially responsible management systems are also considered

The Need for Effective Visual Communication: How Website Design Can Further the Success of the Cal Poly Women’s Lacrosse Team

This paper argues that an efficient and successfully built website is crucial to the future success of college sports websites. By focusing on the Cal Poly Women’s Lacrosse team and its website, visual communication research gives insight into what works and what does not. The fundamental and design elements examined include: text elements, site navigation, accessible links, presence of news, communication and graphics (visual design). These are the elements that promote success and efficiency. Compared to other websites built and maintained by teams in the women’s lacrosse league, Cal Poly’s lacks foundational website material. General website research proves this and an interview with Will Oakley, website designer for Laxteams.net does as well. Understanding the importance of good web design is the first step in this program’s success online. The conclusion includes massive reconstruction and maintenance of the lacrosse website

The Performance Assessment of a Small Lighter-Than-Air Vehicle for Earth Science Remote Sensing Missions

This summer, a lighter-than-air (LTA) drone was tested in Alaska to measure glacier bedrock fracture density and orientation. Five flights were made in low wind conditions, and the directional stability of the airship made it too challenging to control in flight to realistically acquire useful image sets. The directional stability of the airship, when compared to an actively stabilized consumer-grade quadcopter was inferior. Flight logs and GPS data from the GPS on the LTA drone were analyzed and a quantitative assessment of the observed instability was made. The yaw axis and pitch were analyzed, and the yaw axis instability was greater than the pitch axis instability. The source of this instability included the excessive sensitivity of the yaw thruster, and the inherent yaw instability of the blimp shape. An attempt was made to reduce the yaw instability by reducing the yaw motor size. The observed instability may have also resulted from external sources like wind gusts and the glacier microclimate. The analysis informed modifications of the LTA drone to make it more stable for glacier research, which were implemented and tested. The thrust output of the tail motor was reduced by 59%. This change was associated with a reduction in median heading variability of 47% between test flights before and after modification. The reduction was proven statistically significant at a 99% confidence interval. Also, recommendations for further modifications include the implementation of autonomous flight control and envelope optimization
