students received scholarships to cover living expenses only (n = 39, 3%).Primary AnalysesFor our first research question, we were interested in the racial/ethnic and gender composition ofthe scholarship recipients as compared to students who did not receive a scholarship. To answerthis question, we conducted two chi-square tests to examine the racial/ethnic and gendercomposition of the scholarship and non-scholarship groups. For our second research question, wewere interested in examining whether there were mean differences in motivation based onwhether or not a student had received a scholarship. While we cannot infer causation, it isinteresting to consider whether the variables are related, and future research is planned to explorethese

Testing in early summer 2019 inthe Northeastern United States on sunny and/or partly sunny days with outside air temperatures inthe 88-91 oF (31.1-32.8 oC) range revealed that the internal air temperature will approach 115 oF(46.1 oC). This is below the recommended 120-140 oF (49-60 oC) range for dehydration of fruitsand vegetables [5-8]. A simple modification to the current design (i.e., thinner walls) is alreadybeing planned in order to determine if this concept design can generate the required airtemperatures for safe drying for similar outside air temperatures. The dehydration of raw meat is aseparate issue since safe dehydration requires even higher internal temperatures [9

Conversely, to mitigate those risks, contractors use a risk premiumas part of their contingency plan to reduce the risks associated with accepting exculpatory clauses.The study identified five risks commonly used in construction contracts; namely, design errors,differing site conditions, construction errors, risks of payments, and damage for delays. The studyexamined the correlation among the contractor’s years

Using this data, steamproduction was extrapolated out to 20 years. This required some error mitigation, correcting forclearly erroneous manual data entries, such as obvious stray values of zero or clear numericalsaturation. Making error mitigation from manual entries was the most tedious and painstakingpart of the project. After normalizing the data, a nearly uniform average rate of growth wascalculated to be approximately 1.7% annually over the past six years.
