This phenomenological study explores what it means to teach part-time in community colleges in the United States. The increasing use of part-time faculty in community colleges and the concomitant emergence of a two-tiered faculty are discussed.
The study examines the nature of part-time work in the United States, thus providing...
The mesoscale circulation in the Gulf of California is investigated using a numerical model (Princeton Ocean Model). Forced by satellite-derived winds, the circulation in the gulf shows a complex pattern dominated in the southern gulf by multiple eddies. Near the coast and in most of the north gulf, the circulation...
The behavior of coniferous trees subjected to wind loading was investigated through a series of experiments and also through simulation modeling. Previous studies that measured the natural oscillation frequencies and damping ratios were reviewed and equations were developed for predicting the natural frequency of a tree from the ratio of...
