La Grange, Texas Housing Needs Assessment
A housing quality study was conducted to evaluate the current housing
stock in the City of La Grange. It was found that the majority of housing
is maintained or well maintained and that although the City has an older
housing stock, it is very well taken care of. There has been no new residential
construction since 2010 and the vacancy rate for owner occupied
households is at zero percent. Housing tenure patterns show that many
residents moved into their homes during the period of 2000 to 2009 and
growth has continued since then. Housing is affordable within the City,
especially for owner occupied households. The City is however, lacking
in housing options for renters and the elderly.The City of La Grange has been experiencing growth at a higher rate than
expected in the Cityâs comprehensive plan. Due to this, the City is nearing
build out capacity and housing has become limited. Local real estate
agents and developers have expressed concern to the City in regards to
the limited housing options for their clients. In response, the City contacted
Texas Target Communities at Texas A&M University to conduct a
Housing Needs Assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to provide
an inventory of current housing, identify future demand, and explore
other possible housing related issues and, or concerns for the area.Texas Target Communitie

The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA-derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools, and Stellar Library
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years of operation (2014 Julyâ2017 July). This is the third data release for SDSS-IV, and the 15th from SDSS (Data Release Fifteen; DR15). New data come from MaNGAâwe release 4824 data cubes, as well as the first stellar spectra in the MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar), the first set of survey-supported analysis products (e.g., stellar and gas kinematics, emission-line and other maps) from the MaNGA Data Analysis Pipeline, and a new data visualization and access tool we call "Marvin." The next data release, DR16, will include new data from both APOGEE-2 and eBOSS; those surveys release no new data here, but we document updates and corrections to their data processing pipelines. The release is cumulative; it also includes the most recent reductions and calibrations of all data taken by SDSS since first light. In this paper, we describe the location and format of the data and tools and cite technical references describing how it was obtained and processed. The SDSS website (www.sdss.org) has also been updated, providing links to data downloads, tutorials, and examples of data use. Although SDSS-IV will continue to collect astronomical data until 2020, and will be followed by SDSS-V (2020â2025), we end this paper by describing plans to ensure the sustainability of the SDSS data archive for many years beyond the collection of data

The fifteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys : first release of MaNGA derived quantities, data visualization tools and stellar library
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital SkySurvey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS(SDSS-IV) across its first three years of operation (July 2014-July2017). This is the third data release for SDSS-IV, and the fifteenth from SDSS (Data Release Fifteen; DR15). New data come from MaNGA - we release 4824 datacubes, as well as the first stellar spectra in the MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar), the first set of survey-supported analysis products (e.g. stellar and gas kinematics, emission line, andother maps) from the MaNGA Data Analysis Pipeline (DAP), and a new data visualisation and access tool we call "Marvin". The next data release, DR16, will include new data from both APOGEE-2 and eBOSS; those surveys release no new data here, but we document updates and corrections to their data processing pipelines. The release is cumulative; it also includes the most recent reductions and calibrations of all data taken by SDSS since first light.

Conformation dependence of the SH and CS stretch frequencies of the cysteine residue
In order to relate the observed SH and CS stretch frequencies of the cysteine residue in proteins more closely to its conformation, we have done normal mode calculations on a model for this structure, viz., (CCONH)(CNHCO)CHCH 2 SH. A range of â 1 and â 2 were studied, combined with the Ï,Κ of the Î-helix, Î-sheet, glutathione, and extended-helix conformations. The force field was a combination of a scaled ab initio force field of the -CH 2 SH group, obtained from ethanethiol and tested on 1-propanethiol and 3-thiol-N-methylpropionamide, and our empirical force field for the peptide group. The results provide more detailed structureâspectra correlations than are possible from experimental studies of model compounds. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/37861/1/360321109_ftp.pd
