Close
Technical Notes is an area for detailed documentation regarding work done on a portion of the project. This section is important as if another person has to join the project, they will need to refer to these notes. Some examples are: The creation of custom modules and their file names, customizations performed to stock code segments and all details concerning the customization, segments commented out, bugs resolved, and more.

Close
The task list is a break down of the overall project. Particular segments can be worked upon by multiple Consultants. All hours worked on a project will be documented here, and their completion will also be noted here. Bug work will be noted in here along with what section it pertains to.

Close
The Proposal is a document containing detailed information about the purpose of the project, the goals of the project, and how the ARC department intends to meet the projects goals.

Close
The Technical Specification is a detailed document with information pertaining to the specifics of how the projects goals will be met. This section will include information regarding extremely specific information that the client may not need to know, but are important reference items for future review of the project, or should another individual get involved.

Close
The Work Order is an outline version of the steps the ARC department plans to take in order to satisfy the needs of the client, simplifying the review process.

Close
The Invoice is a document containing the work completed, the hours logged for each different segment of the project, and the total costs of the project upon completion.

Close
Other This section contains any other relevant pieces of documentation that are important to the project.

ARCOS

ARCOS (applicant reactions cross-cultural organizational studies) was envisioned as a way for researchers from around the world to gather data using similar methodology and to pool their data to create papers on the topics of applicant reactions to selection and, more broadly, fairness. The idea came from a session in Greece in the summer of 2006 which was held at the International Congress of Applied Psychology (ICAP). Looking at the presenters and at people in the room, it became clear that an International effort would be desirable and possible. Over beers at an outdoor restaurant following the session, the idea was discussed and we agreed to pursue it. Thus, ARCOS and ARCLS (applicant reactions cross-cultural lab studies) were born. To learn more about ARCOS/ARCLS or to apply to join the project, please contact Talya Bauer, Global Coordinator.

Beaches

This project was for a public health research study, that was trying to determine the number of people who became ill after swimming at beaches in southern California.

We performed the necessary tasks to produce datasets for beach attendance and bacterial counts from the raw data the researches provided. The datasets we produced were subsequently used for modeling illness rates.

ChemMap

Chemmap is a website that integrates google maps along with images and the periodic table.

CIP/SOC

A search engine, where a user enters a CIP Code (which relates to degrees offered at PSU) or a SOC Code (which relates to various occupations and their employment statistics which are obtained from Oregon Dept.). On searching, the webpage displays all entires associated with the CIP Code/SOC Code entered and their employment statistics are pulled from various tables.

DOGAMI LiDAR Mapping Application

The LIDAR mapping application is a web-based interface for viewing LIDAR data along with various other datasets for the Portland Metro Area. The application will be used as part of a larger site by DOGAMI for showcasing the LIDAR data that exists to the public and state representatives in the hope of acquiring funding for collecting more LIDAR data.

Ecoplexity

The "Teaching Ecological Complexity" program (TEC) trains high-school teachers in ways to bring science inquiry into classrooms. It was formerly called "Teachers in the Woods" but is expanding with new funding from the National Science Foundation.

Ecoplexity Phase II

Ecoplexity is a short name for the "Teaching Ecological Complexity" program (TEC). This program provides information and training for high-school teachers, in ways to bring science inquiry into classrooms. The original Ecoplexity webpage was designed by ARC.

Ecoplexity Phase II seeks to improve upon Eclopexity, in the sense that it will be more user-friendly and feature a more intuitive interace.

Glaciers

GMB

GMB is an acronym for Geomicrobiology, a web-driven project for managing data and assets associated with Geologic/Microbiologic research at PSU. The project aims to create a webpage where geology faculty and graduate students can view and edit data assosciated withongoing projects. It will create a centralized location for such information, and increase productivity in doing so.

The project has gone through several stages of development and naming. When originally developed by Percy it was called FLIMS (Field and Laboratory Informations Management System). Later it was renamed to Geo-LIMS, though this version under construction for the GEM lab is called GMB. We hope to generalize it for any field and lab based domain in the future.

L&C GIS

We are preparing GIS data (of many types) for Tryon Creek and Columbia Slough watersheds. Lewis & Clark students will use the data for a class. The census data will likely be made available to the public.

LEP Maping

This project entails building a web-portal for maps of demographic data on the United States’ limited English proficiency (LEP) populations. The main feature of the website will be a mapping tool in which users can view LEP demographic data at the level of states or public use microdata areas (PUMAs).

OCCD

The Oregon center for Career Development in Child Hood Care and Education (OCCD) originally was using File Maker Pro as their database of information. They wished to move their database into an on-line format to help increase functionality and accessibility

PSU Clusters

A high performance computing solution to be used for parallel processing using latest standard in this technology such as MPICH, openMPI, etc. Currently we operate two separate clusters Rocks and Gravel.

SVHE

The website for the Society for Values in Higher Education

YAMI (see Map-Fu)

Project name changed to Map-Fu. YAMI is an acronym for Yet Another Mapping Interface. It is intended to be a general mapping interface that can be easily modified to address specific map generation and manipulation needs (particularly for GIS purposes). It uses Mapserver and PHP 5 on the server side and Javascript on client side. Much of the look and functionality has been borrowed and "genericized" from the OSCDL project.

Research Computing

Academic & Research Computing is working to provide the highest quality computing resources in support of the PSU research community.ARC currently offers a broad range of software for research
