    Review: Queerly Centered: LGBTQIA Writing Center Directors Navigate the Workplace

    Get PDF
    Dr. Travis Webster’s monograph reports on qualitative research conducted into the working lives of 20 LGBTQIA-identifying writing center directors. From those interviews, Webster identifies three features of LGBTQIA writing center administrative labor: the unique capital with which their identities equip them, the activist labor that their identities call them to perform, and tensions between their labor and identities. He calls on writing center professionals and higher education administrators to become accomplices in the struggle against workplace injustices, moving beyond allyship that is all too often based in kind words rather than sustained action. The insights available in this book are valuable to anyone in higher education administration as they work to build more inclusive and welcoming spaces for LGBTQIA-identifying writing center professionals

    Adding Support for Delay Tolerance to IPv6 Networks

    AbstractAs we continue to connect ever lower power and more power constrained devices to the Internet of Things the problem of main- taining constant end to end connectivity becomes harder. Accepting that continuous end to end connectivity cannot be maintained, we are forced to seek solutions to allow good operating function. Delay Tolerant Networking, an evolution of existing store and forward systems is a candidate for resolving this issue, however, current implementations are not ideal for use in constrained Inter- net of Things environments. We propose a solution to this by integrating the capabilities of Delay Tolerant Networking into the IP layer, in such a way as to maintain compatibility with existing and future systems and minimising additional overhead. This has been achieved by developing a new IPv6 Hop by Hop option header which contains the information required for messages to be delayed. This solution is then demonstrated to be implementable within the limitations of current Internet of Things hardware

    SAE-Baja 4WD Redesign

    Get PDF
    In collaboration with the Baja SAE club, this senior design team is tasked with designing and fabricating a Baja vehicle with the goal of competing with competitive success in a 2021-22 Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series competition. The project will include all aspects of the vehicle, including but not limited to: roll cage, suspension, steering/control, and drivetrain. Also, a goal of the project is to design the vehicle with the future AWD/4WD Baja requirement in mind, while making every effort to meet that goal for this upcoming Baja competition. The team will also manage the ONU Baja SAE Club which includes but is not limited to creating a competition checklist to ensure reliable operation during competition, coordinating the work assignments for club members not on the senior design team, preparing all required documentation/presentations to SAE, and ensuring the team’s vehicle adheres to all rules outlined in the official Baja SAE Rules
