▼ This dissertation study was a qualitative, naturalistic inquiry study written in the form of a case study about the current workforce skills, skills development needs, and potential workforce skills development interventions to help assist Houston suburban homeless and at-risk homeless obtain living wage jobs. Qualitative research data was gathered from representatives from 13 different Houston suburban homeless service providers and a subset (24) of their clients using two semi-structured interview guides. Homelessness has continued to be a problematic, often hidden, issue in the suburbs. According to the literature, one of the primary reasons for homelessness is unemployment or underemployment due to a lack of education and skills. Job training has been cited in the literature as a top need for the Houston suburban homeless. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on homelessness by focusing on the suburbs, by honing in on Houston, and by examining the issue from a human resource development lens leveraging human capital theory. This study confirms similar themes in the existing literature about homelessness generally, such as the reasons for homelessness, the hidden nature of homelessness, the new face of homelessness in the suburbs, and the persistence of structural barriers to work for the suburban homeless. The study adds to the body of knowledge in terms of what specific workforce skills that suburban homeless in Houston possess (healthcare, industrial and manufacturing, and general labor/construction/landscaping) due to location and also provides more information about what types of job skills assistance the Houston suburban homeless desire (i.e., internships, apprenticeships, on-the-job training in vocational jobs, and mentorships) and need (route them toward the most in-demand vocational, middle skill job career paths in Houston). The study also provides specific recommendations grounded in the data for service providers, the Continuum of Care, Workforce Solutions, and the Department of Rehabilitative Services. The study builds on human capital theory to outline different non-structural and structural human capital investments needed by many homeless and at-risk Houston suburban homeless to achieve living wage jobs, improve their health and productivity, and become self-sustainable.

▼ A flux measurement setup was established at a communications tower north of downtown Houston, Texas, to measure energy and trace gas fluxes from a variety of emission sources in the urban surface layer. The first part of this study details the development of a correction for latent heat and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes due to a low-pass filtering of the true water vapor and CO2 atmospheric signals. A method of spectral analysis was used to develop a correction scheme for this flux underestimation through the observation that the low-pass filtering is a strong function of atmospheric relative humidity and wind speeds. The determined flux corrections for latent heat fluxes (average correction of 34%) were significantly larger than CO2 fluxes (3-4%), suggesting the low-pass filtering had a more dominant effect on the water vapor signal. For the second part of this study, we describe a quadrant analysis technique for separating measured net fluxes into their biogenic (c’ < 0 and q’ > 0 signals) and anthropogenic (c’ > 0 and T’ > 0 signals) components, and quantify these fluxes through the use of a refined relaxed eddy accumulation model. A method of minimizing a defined net – (biogenic + anthropogenic) residual was used to determine an accurate “hole” around the origin to exclude points in the desired quadrants that appear there randomly. The magnitude of the biogenic flux contribution showed expected relationships with temperature and irradiance. The anthropogenic flux contribution showed a strong correlation with measured traffic counts collected on local thoroughfares. Due to a presumed small bias in the flux calculation methodology, neither flux contribution truly measured zero, so anthropogenic and biogenic “background” fluxes were calculated (0.01 µmol mo^-1 m s^-1 and 0.01 – 0.02 µmol mol^-1 m s^-1 respectively). Future work involves perfecting the model, with the goal being widespread use of the theory at urban flux sites. The accurate separation of the net flux gives a more complete picture of the carbon cycle and allows for more accurate analysis of the effects of increased temperature and CO2 concentration on urban vegetation as compared to non-urban vegetation.

▼ The frequency of hurricanes along any 80 km segment of the Coast of Texas is about 1 in 6 years (Roth,2009). On average, 4 major hurricanes (category 3 or higher) occur every century in the Houston-Galveston Region (Needham and Keim, 2011). In addition, the region is very vulnerable: Houston is the fourth biggest city in the US, over 6 million residents live in the region; the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) accommodates the largest petrochemical complex in the US; and Galveston Bay provides large environmental value. Together, the population, industry and the environment make this region a very flood prone area. Action is required in the near future to protect Society, Economy and Environment. A number of solutions has already been proposed, by local parties and academic organizations, to protect both inside and outside Galveston Bay. Recent studies by the SSPEED Center (Sebastian et al. (2014), Bedient (2014) and Penland (2014)), however, conclude that with a closure of Galveston Bay, a significant residual surge can occur at the HSC entrance as a result of local wind set-up. This indicates the need of a structure inside the Bay, protecting the most valuable areas. The protection system is designed for a lifetime of 100 years. To elaborate on future growth of the infrastructure the barrier is designed for an increased traffic intensity, using a 2-lane traffic of Suezmax tankers and a 1 lane traffic of Very Large Crude Carriers. As a result of local design trends and the determination of the Net Present Value (NPV) for several protection levels, a 1/1,000 years storm event is used as feasible design storm. This storm is associated with a ‘Shifted Ike+30%’ event, which is an often used term in literature, using heavier design conditions than the last major flood of Hurricane Ike (2008). This storm holds wind speeds up to 65 m/s, a design wave height of 6 m and a surge level of MSL+8 m at the HSC entrance. In addition to the Navigational Barrier, the designed protection system consists of three levee sections and an environmental section which has the function of maintaining the natural character of the area by allowing tidal movement and coastal dynamics. The levee system is designed for the complete alignment, for the environmental section is a caisson barrier proposed which is surrounded by dunes. A Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) has shown that a horizontally sliding gate is the most suitable option for the navigational barrier, resulting from a list of 10 proposed barrier types. A first technical design of the horizontally sliding gate is based on the proposed concept of Penland and Cibor (2013), consisting of a rectangular concrete gate. The gate cross-section is optimized, a movement mechanism is proposed and a foundation is designed, consisting of a sill structure on top of a pile foundation, to deal with the weak soil layers present in the area. Measures have been taken to meet all stability and strength requirements. Although the main objective is met by the concrete design, an alternative design is proposed which… Advisors/Committee Members: Jonkman, S.N. (mentor), Van der Toorn, A. (mentor), Braam, C.R.

▼ This dissertation is an in-depth examination of cultural interactions between Mexican Americans and Anglos in post-World War II Houston. Today, Houston's Mexican American community ranks as the third largest in the United States. This thriving metropolis offers an urban platform through which one can understand how acceptance and celebration of ethnic cultural ways have come to form an intrinsic part of American culture. While much of the past and current literature on Mexican American history in the postwar period focuses on conflicts over desegregation and fights for equal treatment under the law, my research offers a new perspective on less confrontational cultural exchanges between Anglos and Mexican Americans. Ethnic festivals, Spanish-language radio programming, and the Mexican restaurant industry in Houston illuminate how Mexican American businessmen and women introduced aspects of Mexican culture to a large array of Houstonians and, as a consequence, how Houstonians came to accept these cultural manifestations as a natural part of the city's life. My use of English- and Spanish-language newspapers, oral histories, personal papers, business records, advertisements, photographs, and municipal, state, and federal documents allows me to explore the regular cultural exchanges and syntheses of Anglo and Mexican cultures in Texas, even during ongoing struggles for racial equality. Additionally, the surge in celebrations of Mexican ethnicity in the postwar era led to a heightened interest from national corporations in attracting and profiting from the Hispanic dollar. Ethnic festivals, radio broadcasts, and the Mexican food industry gradually opened the way for a repackaging of ethnicity as something to be consumed. By the 1980s, these cultural manifestations remained emblematic of the Mexican heritage but had also become highly marketable commodities; traditions that used to be associated solely with the Mexican American community in Houston now pointed to their increased level of incorporation into the city's cultural life. I conclude that this greater acceptance of certain aspects of Mexican culture signaled the gradual penetration of Mexican American ethnicity into American cultural ways.

▼ Background: Hurricane Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 storm on the Texas Gulf Coast on August 26, 2017. In this study, we assessed the feasibility of evacuating the Houston-Galveston region of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Methods: First, we explored the spatial distribution of evacuation shelters in the Houston-Galveston MSA and estimated the shelter deficits in the region. Second, we conducted a statistical meta-analysis of 36 studies and identified the factors associated with hurricane evacuation decisions. Finally, we used an SF-12 instrument to assess the self-rated mental and physical health of residents in the Texas Gulf-Coast after hurricane Harvey. We also identified the factors associated with variations in self-rated health among the population. Results: There was a disproportionate distribution of evacuation shelters in the Houston-Galveston MSA with high-capacity shelters clustered farther away (more than 120 miles) from the Coastal Zip-Zone, and low-capacity shelters clustered nearer (less than 50 miles) the Coastal Zip-Zone. In addition, the MSA had a prevailing aggregate shelter deficit for 353,713 persons. The factors significantly associated with hurricane evacuation were mobile home residence (r= 0.31; 95% CI: 0.21, 0.41), perception of risk (r= 0.18; 95% CI: 0.10, 0.26), Hispanic race (r= 0.08; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.14), and female gender (r= 0.05; 95% CI: 0.00, 0.09). Finally, the self-rated mental and physical health scores of residents in the Texas Gulf-Coast were 36.69 and 39.87 respectively, which were statistically significantly lower than national average. Discussion: To improve the efficiency of evacuating the Houston-Galveston MSA in the face of hurricane, relevant authorities should make efforts towards eliminating prevailing shelter deficits. Second, information on factors associated with evacuation may enable the identification of specific sub-population groups for evacuation interventions. Third, in the design of policy guidelines on disaster recovery, mental health services should be integrated with economic and educational empowerment programs and directed towards younger women with less than graduate level of education, who live in mobile homes with little children. Likewise, physical health rehabilitation programs after hurricanes should target evacuees at least 25 years of age who perceive medium to high risk of storm surge.

▼ Buffalo Bayou has connected Houston, Texas to Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico since Houston’s founding in 1837. During the American Civil War of 1861-65, Houston served as a storehouse for weapons, ammunition, food, clothing, and other supplies destined for the war effort in Galveston and the rest of the Confederacy. Near the end or soon after the Civil War ended, Confederate material supplies were lost or abandoned in Buffalo Bayou under the Milam Street Bridge in Houston. In 1968, the Southwestern Historical Exploration Society (SHES) recovered around 1000 artifacts with an 80-ton dragline crane operated off the Milam Street Bridge. About 650 artifacts from this collection were rediscovered by the Houston Archeological Society in 2015, stored in filing boxes at the Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park. This dissertation serves as an artifact and document-based study using newspaper accounts, sworn statements, and archaeological reports to assemble and detail the history of the Milam Street Artifact Assemblage – from abandonment in the bayou to rediscovery at the Heritage Society. In many ways it is a personal account that aims at connecting the author to the place and circumstances that led to the loss and rediscovery of this artifact collection. Through document, artifact, and map analysis, three theories are proposed and critically analyzed concerning how and why these artifacts were lost in Buffalo Bayou. Finally, a relevant subset of the artifacts have been conserved for museum exhibits including at the Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park in Houston and the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. Issues and ethical stances surrounding documenting, preserving, conserving, and curating historical artifacts are presented based on lessons-learned creating these museum exhibits and the mismanaging of this artifact assemblage since its discovery in 1968.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Educational Policy 2015.

As the public-school student population continues to become more diverse, it becomes increasingly important to reevaluate longstanding policies that are targeted at addressing the needs of traditionally underserved students. To address the needs of such students, many districts have turned to various school choice policies. The public educational marketplace has expanded and diversified, providing families with many different types of school choice; yet magnet schools, one of the oldest forms of public school choice, continue to serve large numbers of students. This study seeks to examine the functionality of magnet schools in new demographic, legal, and policy contexts.To examine magnet schools in their modern-day context, I utilized data from Houston Independent School District (HISD). HISD is one of the nation's largest districts, and the district has over one-hundred magnet schools and serves a large number of traditionally underserved students. The dataset from HISD is a rich, student-level, longitudinal dataset with information for over 400,000 students across seven school years (2007/08 through 2013/14).The analysis is centered on two major outcomes: integration and student achievement. I assessed integration from magnet schools on four fronts: racial, socio-economic, linguistic, and achievement. I also used two perspectives to understand how magnet schools change the composition of schools and the district. The micro-level assessment analyzes individual participation in choice and looks at what student and school characteristics are related tochoosing a magnet school. The macro-level assessment aggregates the actions of individuals and looks at how compositions of schools and the districts change as students leave TPSs for magnet schools. I examine student achievement by looking for improvements in math and reading scores on a standardized exam. Multiple strategies are used to address the selection bias that arises from the nonrandom assignment of students, including the use of student fixed-effects to control for time-invariant unobservable variables as well as value-added modeling to account for prior achievement in addition to time-invariant unobservables. Much of the analysis is broken down by magnet type to better understand how different magnet policies influence the results.The major findings indicate magnet schools have little effect on integration of the district or on student achievement in math and reading. On average, magnet choosers are relatively advantaged as compared to the students in the district who do not choose a magnet school. This is reflected in the average composition of magnet schools as compared to that of TPSs. While magnet schools are more integrated than TPSs, there is little change in measures of segregation at the district level when looking at how segregation changes when students leave their zoned school for a nonzoned magnet school. Thus, magnet schools are moving advantaged students away from TPSs in the…

▼ Using two of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) performance compliance criteria (e.g., number of graduates and placement percentages) as the standard, 32.86% of HCCS workforce programs were rated as not compliant. The researcher attempted to identify the cause of this program noncompliance as well as recommend strategies to improve the overall effectiveness of workforce programming at HCCS. The researcher looked for similarities/dissimilarities between workforce chairpersons who supervised compliant programs and those who supervised noncompliant programs. The study was guided by three research questions and used a mixed method approach. For the qualitative piece, two focus groups were conducted. Group One were 10 compliant workforce chairpersons and Group Two were 10 non-compliant workforce chairpersons. For the quantitative piece, identical survey questionnaires were electronically distributed to Group One [which consisted of 30 compliant chairpersons] and Group Two [which consisted of 13 non-compliant chairpersons]. The results from Group One and Group Two were very similar. In some instances, Group Two performance percentages were higher than their compliant counterparts in Group One. These findings led the researcher to conclude that workforce non-compliance at HCCS may not [necessarily] be the liability of the program chair but could be attributed to restrictive institutionalized policies and practice. As a result of the findings, four recommendations were made: (1) the HCCS workforce operation should consider using a centralized administrative model - having all workforce deans report [directly] to the associate vice chancellor (AVC) of workforce development rather than to 5 different college presidents. (2) HCCS should modify its workforce chair selection policy. This institutionalized policy limits workforce chairpersons to 3-year terms before they are eligible for reelection. (3) HCCS’ continuing education and corporate training offices should be merged with the office of workforce development to function as a single entity. Lastly (4), a process of program review involving community and institutional stakeholders should be implemented to evaluate the feasibility of relocating Central College’s industrial and trade programs from their urban setting closer to the industrialized areas [of Harris county near the petro-chemical and ship channel area] located near Southeast/Northeast College.

▼ A critical issue for school administrators is low-performing schools. The enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001 and the resulting emphasis on school accountability ratings and high-stakes achievement testing have increased the pressure on school leaders to effectively deal with issues that interfere with students’ academic success. Principals of low-performing schools need a different kind of leadership based on proven knowledge, skills, and attributes that bring about the changes required to make the schools high performing. This thesis case study focuses on the factors and strategies that lead to the transformation of Plainville Elementary in the Plains Independent School District (PISD), a large, fast-growing, suburban/urban school district in southeast Texas, from a low-performing school into a high-performing school within a three-year period. Plainville Elementary, referred to as “Painville Elementary” by some employees, was assigned a technical assistance team (TAT) by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) in 2006 due to the school’s poor academic performance on the 2005-2006 state assessment instrument. The “Case of Painville Elementary” was explored through interviews with the district superintendent and campus principal and through a series of focus groups with teachers, campus administrators, district superintendents, and district administrators who worked at, or were involved with, the campus during the time frame studied (2006-2007 to 2008-2009). The thesis research was guided by the following research questions: 1. What factors contributed to the changes in student achievement? 2. What changes in the leadership influenced student achievement? 3. What changes in the climate influenced student achievement? 4. What changes in teacher expectations influenced student achievement? The triangulation of the data provided the researcher with 10 factors that led to the transformation of Plainville Elementary from a low-performing school into a high-performing school. The data further supported that school transformation was guided by an effective leader. Advisors/Committee Members: MacNeil, Angus J. (advisor), Busch, Steven D.

▼ This report uses a framework developed by Laurie Kaye Nijaki, Ph.D., a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Erb Institute at the University of Michigan to investigate the potential for developing a green economy in the city of Houston. She chose to divide the green economy into meaningful clusters that can help economic development professionals identify opportunities within the region. These clusters include: Green Building and Construction; Biofuels/ Farming/ Agriculture; Transportation/ Alternative Fuel Vehicles; Waste, Waste Management, and Recycling; Environmental Compliance, Sustainability Planning, and Pollution Prevention; and Energy Generation, Renewable Energy, and Energy Storage. Under the framework she developed, I evaluated the overall economy of a Metropolitan Statistical Area – in this case the Houston-Sugar Land Baytown MSA – across a number of quantitative and qualitative characteristics. I perform economic analysis on industries and occupations to understand which ones are in high concentrations within the region that give it a comparative advantage. I then link them to each of the green clusters to determine which one has support from a large potential workforce. I then perform an institutional analysis to determine how support for a green economy is organized within the region. For this institutional analysis, I review of sustainability policies and programs of local governments and government agencies in the region – in this case the City of Houston, Harris County, the Port of Houston Authority, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County Houston, and the Houston-Galveston Area Council. I then link those policies to individual green economy clusters. I then identify local green business and nonprofit alliances and then link them to the green economy clusters. To supplement this data, I also interviewed a number of local green economy stakeholders to gain additional perspective on the current and future state of the green economy in the region. Once, I perform this analysis, I evaluate each green economy cluster across all dimensions to determine which one Houston has a comparative advantage in. I then identify strategies for local economic development stakeholders can use to develop a green economy in Houston. These strategies include: workforce development strategies, geographic and land-use strategies, financing mechanisms, business incubation, and government procurement.

▼ An increase in the amount of lightning and rainfall over the Houston area, compared to the surrounding rural areas, has been well documented in previous studies. The placement of a Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radar (SMART-R) in the Houston area during the summer season of 2005 presented a unique opportunity to investigate the role of boundary-layer convergence in modulating convective frequency and intensity and, thereby, likely causing the rainfall and lightning anomalies. The role of the urban heat island (UHI) and the sea-breeze, as a source of low-level convergence leading to enhanced convection over Houston, was examined. Hourly average dual-Doppler wind and convergence maps were created on 1 X 1 km grids for an eleven-week period. By using these images along with average lightning, rainfall, and reflectivity for a large Houston-centered domain, it was possible to discern a correlation between low-level convergence and convection. Also, past findings of enhancement in lightning and rainfall over Houston and downwind of Houston were validated. High convergence levels for the Houston area in the mid-morning were followed closely by a peak in convection in the early afternoon. The enhancement of rainfall and lightning over and downwind of downtown was found to be primarily from a large increase in frequency of deep convective events when compared to the surrounding domain. Also, it was found that UHI, rather than sea-breeze, was likely the primary causative mechanism in the development of convection over the Houston area because of the lack of deep convection in areas equally affected by the sea-breeze and the timing of the convection compared to time of peak sea-breeze. An area of weaker enhancement south of Houston, not discussed in previous studies, was found to be present, possibly from the interactions between the bay-breeze off of the Galveston Bay and the seabreeze.

▼ Urban centers are major sources of contaminants to the surrounding air, water and soils. Above all, combustion-derived carbonaceous aerosols, especially black carbon (BC) and associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), make significant contributions to the pollution in these systems. Here sedimentary records are used to produce a series of historical reconstructions of such contaminants to the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) system and compare these to point source inputs of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOC). Analytical data on total organic carbon (TOC), BC, PAHs, dioxins and lignin (likely discarded from a pulp and paper mill along the Channel) were determined. This multi-proxy approach revealed that over the last several decades, HOC inputs to the system have been derived from a complex mixture of combustion processes, industrial point-sources, and oil spills. In particular, widespread dioxin contamination was observed throughout the study region with a particular site of the HSC showing total concentrations over 20,000 pg/g and 5000 pg toxic equivalent (TEQ)/g dry weight of sediment. Using two models based on sorption constants of total OC and BC, porewater concentrations were estimated to be lower than expected, at 20 pg/L and 5 pg TEQ/L. These values, however, are recognized as being extremely high for freely dissolved concentrations in porous media. The pulp and paper waste pit has recently been declared a Superfund site based on dioxin concentrations alone. The relationship between lignin biomarkers and dioxins observed in these sediments confirms that discharges of pulp and paper effluents were responsible for such high dioxin levels. Concentrations of BC, amorphous OC, and TOC were then used to calculate sediment binding of dioxins in sediments of the HSC. Our study found BC to be extremely low in HSC sediments (0.04 to 0.20%) indicating minimal dioxin sorption capacity. This suggests strong potential for fluxes of dioxins from sediments to the water column both through passive diffusion and physical mixing during natural and anthropogenic sediment remobilization events in this shallow system (hurricanes, storms, and dredging). The purposeful addition of BC to these sediments might be promising as a remediation strategy.
