This document analyzes the lack of female physics majors at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. A survey found that only 0.52% of students, or 27 people, were female physics majors. This is one of the lowest percentages of females in any program at the university. The document explores possible factors that contribute to the lack of women in physics, such as family obligations and perceptions that physics is a male-dominated field. It compares the situation to other universities like MIT. The conclusions and recommendations suggest implementing programs to encourage more women to study physics and invite female physicists to discuss their experiences. This may help increase the number of female physics majors and create greater gender balance in the field.
The Walking Security Index (WSI) project was approved in 1994 as an element of the Transportation Environment Action Plan (TEAP) of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton (changed to City of Ottawa in 2000) and the Walking Security Index (Final Report) was published in 1998. The Walking Security Index Pilot Study project was launched in 2000 and completed in 2002 One of the goals of TEAP was to encourage more trips by walking, and the primary mission of the WSI project was to design indexes which measure the levels of safety, comfort and convenience expected and experienced by pedestrians at intersections. The thesis of the WSI research was that indexes could be designed that provide scores on the performance of intersections from the perspective of safety, comfort, and convenience of pedestrians, and the scores could be arranged in rank order. Then, for public safety, quality of life, engineering, traffic, enforcement, maintenance, modification, health, or other purposes, the scores could be used to identify needed corrective actions at intersections rated from best to worst, o

"Stress is the psychological, physiological and behavioral response by an individual when they perceive a lack of equilibrium between the demands placed upon them and their ability to meet those demands, which, over a period of time, leads to ill-health."
Contrary to popular belief, stress itself is never a good thing. It is always harmful.

This report consists of the analysis of results of evaluation of a 3inch diameter silicon wafer that was fabricated in the clean room at USC under Professor. Kaviani. The wafer consists of resistors, capacitors, MOSFETs and diodes. The device was tested and the results are used to characterize the device. The whole process was done in 100 class clean room, the Powell Foundation Instructional Laboratory. This report will show the calculations performed to do an analysis of the results and will aim to offer an insight into the theory behind the operation of these devices.
