Seafloor characterization using airborne hyperspectral co-registration procedures independent from attitude and positioning sensors

The advance of remote-sensing technology and data-storage capabilities has progressed in the last decade to commercial multi-sensor data collection. There is a constant need to characterize, quantify and monitor the coastal areas for habitat research and coastal management. In this paper, we present work on seafloor characterization that uses hyperspectral imagery (HSI). The HSI data allows the operator to extend seafloor characterization from multibeam backscatter towards land and thus creates a seamless ocean-to-land characterization of the littoral zone

An evaluation of Te Rau Puawai workforce 100: Stakeholder perspectives

To evaluate the Te Rau Puawai programme, the Ministry of Health commissioned the Maori and Psychology Research Unit of the University of Waikato in July 2001. The overall aim of the evaluation was to provide the Ministry with a clearer understanding of the programme including: the perceived critical success factors, the barriers if any regarding Te Rau Puawai, the impact of the programme, the extent to which the programme may be transferable, gaps in the programme, and suggested improvements. There are a number of stakeholders who do not have a direct role in the provision of Te Rau Puawai. These people are not involved in the day to day running of Te Rau Puawai (as do, for example, the coordinator, support team or academic mentors), nevertheless they play an important role, contributing in a variety of ways to the programme

How Various Forms of Microaggressions Impact Identity Development

Microaggressions a subtle form of racism that can be seen as insults towards a certain group. They include comments based on racial assumptions about criminality, intelligence, and even minimization or denial of the racialized experiences of people of color (Lewis, Mendenhall, Harwood, & Huntt, 2016). Microaggressions also occur based on other aspects of identity such as gender, disability, and sexual orientation (Lewis et. al., 2016). The purpose of this study is to understand members of marginalized groups experiences of microaggressions and how this may impact self-esteem, mental health, and body image satisfaction. The study will include an online survey which will ask about these experiences, as well as racial identity and body image satisfaction. Participants will also be asked for their demographic information.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/u_poster_2019/1007/thumbnail.jp
