    CenTex FIRST Tech Challenge Conference 2023 Digest
    (2023-08-19)
    The CenTex FTC Conference, held at the University of Texas at San Antonio on August 19, 2023, was a vibrant gathering focused on igniting interest in robotics among high school students in central Texas. The conference was organized by the FTC team 16458, TechnoWizards, and centered on the innovative application of the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) program to inspire and engage young minds. Eight FTC teams hailing from Austin, University, San Antonio, and Laredo showcased their experiences and insights gained from participating in the 2022-2023 Power Play competition. Through a series of 14 presentations, attendees gained valuable knowledge and perspectives on robotics, enhancing their understanding and enthusiasm for STEM education.

    Examining the Role of Quality of Institutionalized Healthcare on Maternal Mortality in the Dominican Republic
    (2023-07-20) De Jesus, Maria; Sullivan, Nora; Hopman, William; Martinez, Alex; Glenn, Paul David; Msopa, Saviour; Milligan, Brooke; Doney, Noah; Howell, William; Sellers, Kimberly; Jackson, Monica C.
    The main study objective was to determine the extent to which the quality of institutionalized healthcare, sociodemographic factors of obstetric patients, and institutional factors affect maternal mortality in the Dominican Republic. COM-Poisson distribution and the Pearson correlation coefficient were used to determine the relationship of predictor factors (i.e., hospital bed rate, vaginal birth rate, teenage mother birth rate, single mother birth rate, unemployment rate, infant mortality rate, and sex of child rate) in influencing maternal mortality rate. The factors hospital bed rate, teenage mother birth rate, and unemployment rate were not correlated with maternal mortality. Maternal mortality increased as vaginal birth rates and infant death rates increased whereas it decreased as single mother birth rates increased. Further research to explore alternate response variables, such as maternal near-misses or severe maternal morbidity is warranted. Additionally, the link found between infant death and maternal mortality presents an opportunity for collaboration among medical specialists to develop multi-faceted solutions to combat adverse maternal and infant health outcomes in the DR.

    Data Analysis of QMS Data During UN Oxidation
    (2021-07-30) Williams, Brandon L.
    QMS data was obtained of the oxidation of uranium mononitride (UN) in 31.7% steam at high temperatures. The data was treated to account for instrument noise and obfuscated signals due to ions sharing the same signal. The ramp data from this experiment suggests that ammonia is a primary product of UN oxidation and that hydrogen and nitrogen are partially produced as ammonia decomposes.
