Winter 2020 Publications

The library is excited to share the scholarly work of our community with campus through Digital Commons, author profiles, and the Library blog. The list below includes all known books, book chapters, edited volumes, and peer-reviewed articles that were first published (including online) between January 1 – March 31, 2020. This preliminary list was generated through a search of Scopus and Google Scholar, as well as from faculty alerting our office about their work. Our final list will be published alongside funded research profiles, with the Office of Research in our Quarterly Publications & Research Awards. 

An unlocked symbol appears beside all works that are available Open Access (OA), which means that it “is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions” (Peter Suber). We call attention to OA work because it enables the wider community to engage with it. To be available OA, the work must be either published in an OA journal; shared via a disciplinary OA repository; or deposited in UW Tacoma Digital Commons. If you have questions about how to openly share your work, please contact us.

Winter 2020 Sponsored Research

UW Tacoma Office of Research 2018-19 annual report highlighting many UW Tacoma faculty and their diverse forms of research and scholarship is now available for download on the Office of Research website.

Congratulations to the following sponsored research award recipients at UW Tacoma with new awards received into OSP between January-March 2020.

Michael James McCourt, SET
Design of stable cyber-physical systems using a network interface approach
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)

This project will study systematic methods of designing cyber physical systems (CPS) that are safe and reliable.  The main goals of this project are to study the principles of stability and compositionality of networked CPS and to conduct multi-agent robotic experiments to validate these original approaches. The theoretic study of compositionality will focus on designing new network interfaces that can be used to connect systems to a network regardless of whether the system is stable or unstable, linear or nonlinear, physical or computational, etc. The use of such network interfaces is inspired by existing approaches but greatly expands the applicability of the approach. The design of the interfaces is based on the passivity indices of the systems to be connected. An example of a networked CPS that will be studied in this project is a multi-agent team of autonomous agents that must communicate and cooperate. One main goal of this project is to design an interface that can be used to connect agents to a network using graph theory and passivity indices. This original approach will be validated by conducting multi-agent system experiments with ground robots.

Andy James, Center for Urban Waters (CUW)
PSP and UWT PSEMP_2020-21
Puget Sound Partnership/US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

This project will identify and prioritize a suite of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) based on biological relevance to focus future monitoring efforts and provide the information necessary to support in developing management responses. Hundreds of CECs such as pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, pesticides, etc. have been detected in Puget Sound. It is now imperative that we understand which of these chemicals might be causing the greatest affects to reproduction and survival of important marine and/or freshwater species. Under a new task, a working group will compile and synthesize regional CEC data, evaluate the potential risk to key species, and communicate key findings.

Skagit County Pollution Identification and Correction
Skagit County/US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Skagit County and other parties designated by the County will collect and send samples to the Center for Urban Waters for analysis. Skagit County anticipates six to eight sampling events with up to 15 locations sampled during each event. Rain events will be targeted for sampling when possible since Samish Basin fecal coliform pollution is highest during rain/runoff conditions. Investigators at the Center for Urban Waters will analyze samples provided for chemical tracers analysis, and provide information including the prevalence of each type of pollution and the utility of chemical tracers. The results will be used by Skagit County and its partners to target Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) activities.

Christine Stevens, Nursing and Healthcare Leadership
Access is not equity:  Expanding cultural food resources of UWT and Community food banks
The Coalition of Urban Serving Universities/Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

This supplemental funding was provided to support a Food Justice Curriculum Project, which will be a two-quarter credit-bearing learning community experience focused on food-justice leveraging the research and partnerships. First quarter course, “Introduction to Food Justice,” will fulfill diversity education requirement. Second quarter course, “Food Justice in Tacoma,” will be a community-based research course that will incorporate The UW Tacoma Pantry and Nourish Pierce County as field placement sites and fulfill the ‘Individual and Society’ general education requirement.

Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) without the Global Positioning System (GPS)
Namatad/US Department of Defense (DOD)

The use of GPS has become ubiquitous for position identification and navigation. However, in many areas, such as within buildings, dense urban areas, complex terrain, or hostile environments, access to satellite-transmitted positioning signals may be limited, unavailable, or intentionally denied, limiting the spatial awareness and navigation capabilities of personnel in transit. To ensure continuity in navigation capabilities, alternative localization techniques are required to avoid personnel and assets from becoming lost or disoriented while traversing unknown areas.

In this proposal, PI Matt Tolentino and project members will investigate the feasibility of adapting the Namatad FIREFLY localization platform, which was originally designed for firefighters, to enable warfighter localization in GPS-denied areas. The project team will detail the adaptations necessary, including potential networking protocol accommodations and multiple channel usage, to evolve a dynamically deployable, cost effective devices for warfighter scenarios. Given FIREFLY was purpose-built for localizing first responders within a single structure, the project team will also analyze the feasibility of the FIREFLY system for two additional environments, including mixed multi-building environments characteristic of dense urban areas as well as longer-range outdoor environments. The feasibility results will be highlighted with proposed adaptations to be incorporated into defense-specific designs in the subsequent Phase II project.
