Item An Analysis of San Antonio's Vacant Building Program and the Impacts on Surrounding Neighborhoods(2020-04-18) Angel, SelinaThis report discusses how the City of San Antonio’s (COSA) Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) Vacant Building Program (VBP) has impacted surrounding properties and communities around neglected and abandoned structures since the program’s 2014 launch. The study area focuses on Dignowity Hill, a historic district and neighborhood that has the second-highest number of vacancies in San Antonio. After background research and statistical data was collected from VBP specialists, a market and demographic analysis was conducted on the study area. This data was retrieved from the National Historical Geographic Information Systems (NHGIS) website to determine the changes of the housing market and demographics before and after the VBP launch. Data shows that there is a correlation between the high number of vacancies and the revitalization of certain areas within Dignowity Hill. The analysis also concluded that most registered vacant properties lie near San Antonio’s downtown core. This area is experiencing the highest number of new constructions, which is bringing in diversity. The data also shows that there is a migration of the Hispanic population moving further away from the city core in Dignowity Hill. It is concluded that the VBP preserves the architectural aspects of the neighborhood but does not preserve the intangible elements -- therefore displacement and gentrification are bound to happen. The findings of this paper will help understand not only how programs like the VBP can help discover areas of redevelopment through vacancies within the city but also shed light on how these programs must find ways to preserve the intangible elements of a neighborhood as well.Item Nanoalloy for Cancer Treatment(2021-04-08) Betancourt, Alejandro MoralesItem Toward a Chicana Decolonial Reading of Autobiographical Writings by Egyptian Women, 1950s-Present(2021-04-08) Mansour, AsmaaItem Optimizing the Performance of a Novel Organ Preservation Device (2nd place winner)(2021-04-08) Portillo, DanielItem A Fiberoptic Microneedle Device for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer(2021-04-08) Akhter, ForhadItem Arithmetic in the Bilingual Brain (3rd place winner)(2021-04-08) Cerda, VanessaItem Explore the interaction of heterocyclic compounds against the SARS-CoV-2(2021-04-08) Dang, HangItem Evaluating the Effects of Loading Protocol on the Collapse Behavior of Lightly Confined Reinforced Concrete Columns(2021-04-08) Dolati, Seyed Sasan KhedmatgozarItem Role of AI in the Security of EV Charging Systems(2021-04-08) Nolan, ReithItem Geminivirus: Masters at Redirecting Host Cell Processes(2021-04-08) Williams, JacquelineItem Human Plant Interaction(2021-04-08) Kamal, MuttakiItem Intelligent Anomaly Identification In Inverter-Based Cyber-Physical Systems(2021-04-08) Khan, Asad AliItem Alzheimer's Disease and Mini Brain Models (1st place winner)(2021-04-08) Acosta, Karina MeyerItem Fusion of Biometrics for Recognizing People(2021-04-08) Atapattu, TharinduItem Computational Model for Habitat Structures Beyond Earth(2021-04-08) Shahriar, AdnanItem Graphene Supercapacitors (People's Choice Award)(2021-04-08) Gopalakrishnan, PratheekItem Advancing and Securing Human-Machine Chatbot Interactive Systems(2021-04-08) Nadim, MohammadItem AI for Disease Management: A Study on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(2021-04-08) Ramirez-Tamayo, Carolina
