Bioalum

Drupal project for the Alumni and Friends of Biology website

CFE

Organize and display the results of different CFE experiments.

GIS Info

Invasive Species

The invasive species project is webpage that will educate people about different aquatic invasive species, their impacts, how to manage them, and how to prevent them from being transported. The webpage will service eduactors, managers, and other outreach personnel by providing information to them.

LaunchPSU

The website describe several projects involving launching, tracking and recovering of high altitude experiment payloads using balloons.

Leadership Conference 2007

Mark Wubold wanted an online registration for a leadership conference he was holding. He contacted the ARC department and requested their help setting up an online registration tool, following his requirements.

Map-Fu

Map-Fu is an open source general mapping interface that can be 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. Map-Fu was formerly known as YAMI. Much of the look and functionality has been borrowed and "genericized" from the OSCDL project.

Measure 37

The measure 37 project seeks to create a webpage where those intersted can see claims filed under measure 37, as well as information regarding the claim(s). The information on claims will be searchable by a variety of fields, and host a large amount of information pertaining to measuer 37.

Mussels

Creation of simple mapping interface and translation of MySQL database to Postgres/PostGIS

Nanocrystallography

This website will be used for research purposes and in class room demonstrations of an introductory materials science and engineering course at Portland State University (PSU) and will become freely available over the internet.

OIRP DAILY ENROLLMENT

The Office of Institutional Research and Planning (OIRP) needs information about daily enrollment to do it's jobs. This information has traditionally been downloaded by a faculty member, printed, and then faxed to the department. The OIRP requested to have the ARC develope a webapplication that would automate this process and also perform stastistical analysis upon the stored data.

ARC was asked to deliver the daily enrollment figures to the Office of Institutional Research & Planning (OIRP) website. Juliet Stoering previously pulled these figures from the Banner warehouse and then faxed the figures to University notables each Monday. Once there was a generic warehouse user was created with rights to the correct data, it would feasible to deliver the figures to the OIRP web site.

OSCDL

The Oregon Sustainable Community Digital Library (OSCDL) is a web-based interface for a digital repository for electronic documents and GIS data focusing on aspects of Urban Planning and the Portland Metropolitan region. There are several focus areas, including the Metro 20/40 plan, the Urban Growth Boundary, and the Strong Center Focus on the downtown core.

PRE - PSU Remote Executioner

PRE is a web interface designed to allow users to submit jobs to various programs (tested so far only with R) located on remote compute servers and to retrieve the data in the form of HTML pages once done.

PSU Executioner

Interface to allow remote execution of computational intensive processes

SFMP

The Students First Mentoring Project's (SFMP) mission is to help new-to-campus first generation students succeed at and graduate from college. Our aim is to help students adjust to increased demands of this new setting by connecting them with mentors who help demystify college, and to provide them with information about and links to campus support services, as well as time-tested strategies for dealing with specific university adjustment issues.

There are 4 areas of emphasis in the SFMP:

recognizing student adjustment issues,
identifying appropriate resources and using each appropriately,
developing strategies for dealing with issues, and
connecting students to the campus and other students.

SFMP provides a range of different services relating to each area. All students in the program go through an orientation where they are introduced to the program resources and staff, and learn some simple adjustment strategies to use during the first weeks of classes. Participating students have access to an on-line peer mentoring video library and a password protected resource website designed to facilitate and simplify the process of identifying relevant campus resources and using them appropriately. All students receive regular weekly contact, support, and encouragement to keep on track from program staff via e-mail, telephone or in person. In addition there is an on-line bulletin board where students can post questions and receive responses from program staff. Each term students take part in a series of group discussions, in which they discuss their most recent university experiences, brainstorm solutions to adjustment issues, ventilate feelings, and both receive and provide social support. In addition, once or twice a term, SFMP staff arranges a group outing in association with a PSU or community social event. These interactions build connections between students and create a field of shared experiences that will help students to experience a sense of community on campus.

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
