SRO : single room occupancy
During August of 1996, I stayed in a series of SRO hotels in New York City leaving a book and diary behind when I checked out of each room. The books that were left in the rooms differ from one room to the other but all contain events and/or situations that could have happened in the very room. …

School Resource Officer programs: implementation's effect on student perceptions of safety
School Resource Officer (SRO) Programs are a widely implemented community policing initiative in schools. The limited research on SRO Programs suggests that there are implementation differences between programs. This study explores the effect that implementation style has on program effectiveness …

Spin cluster expansion approach to the interplay between short-range order and interstitial atoms in austenitic stainless steels
… studies have highlighted short-range order (SRO) as a key microstructural feature that significantly influences alloy properties. In particular, SRO is found to promote slip planarity, a deformation mode frequently associated with HE. Furthermore, interstitial solutes can interact with the …

Atomic short-range order determination in gold-25 atomic percent iron and nickel-12.5 atomic percent silicon: A synchrotron x-ray diffuse scattering study
The short-range order (SRO) structure of a Gold-25 atomic percent Iron single crystal was studied using wide-angle diffuse synchrotron x-radiation scattering at room temperature. Two heat-treatments were investigated; a 400$\sp\circ$C aging treatment for two days and a second at 440$\sp\circ$C for …

Perceptions of School Leaders, School Division Leaders, and non-SRO Model Employees Regarding a New School Safety Model in One Urban Virginia School Division
… school leaders, school division leaders, and non-SRO model employees regarding the transition from a school safety model with School Resource Officers (SROs) to a model with non-SRO (NSRO) employees in one urban school division in Virginia. The researcher sought to answer one research question: …

Study of Seal Glass for Solid Oxide Fuel/Electrolyzer Cells
… compositional design. In this dissertation, SrO-La₂O₃-A₂O₃-B₂O₃3-SiO₂ based seal glasses have been developed and composition-structure-property relationships have been investigated. B₂O₃ free SrO-La₂O₃-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ based seal glass is the most suitable and its compatibility with the metallic …

Effect of the Environment and Environmental Uncertainty on Ship Routes
… Ship Routing provided by ship routing officers (SRO) to aid in the safe transit of its ships. When a ship makes a transit, the ship provides the SRO an origin, a destination, and a date of departure, and the SRO will generate a route for the ship to proceed along. Avoiding severe weather is the …

The impact of school resource officers on students' feelings of safety
… responsibility of the school resource officer (SRO) has evolved. The perspectives most commonly considered that have guided this transformation are those of law enforcement officials, school administrators, and the general public. Increasingly, parents and guardians have played an important …

Understanding how school resource officers construct their identity in a school
School Resource Officers (SRO) are a vital part of any school district and school building. This research project aims to understand how SROs construct their identity in a school building. How do SRO go about in creating their role with all stakeholders of the school community through the frame of …

Ototoxicity Monitoring using Automated Extended High-Frequency Audiometry and the Sensitive Range of Ototoxicity in Patients with MDR-TB
… treatment). The Sensitive Range of Ototoxicity (SRO) technique is recommended to shorten the test time. The SRO consists of seven consecutive relatively high frequencies determined from the highest frequency the participant responded to. The SRO technique is time efficient. Although the SRO …

Nanostructured BaTiO3 Thin Films for Enhanced Photoresponse
… based on a three-dimensional BTO/SrRuO3 (SRO) heterostructure. The large mismatch strain at interfaces induced the formation of island-like SRO nanostructures. The crystalline and amorphous phases in the BTO layer were responsible for charge separation and transportation, respectively. In …

Atomistic Insights into Alloy Solidification using Machine-Learning Potentials
… MLPs to capture chemical short-range order (SRO), a critical feature in high-entropy alloys, and its effects on materials quantities of relevance for mechanical properties, such as stacking-fault energy and phase stability. It is demonstrated that energy accuracy on test sets often does not …

Powers scaling and nonlinear frequency conversion of single-frequency lasers based
… singly-resonant optical parametric oscillators (SROs) based on periodically-poled lithium niobate. Although SROs are inherently single-frequency they suffer detrimentally from mode-hopping, therefore in the final stages of this thesis, we propose to utilise the novel passive technique for …

The analysis of local structural effects in alloys using total scattering and reverse Monte Carlo techniques
Over the years `short-range order' (SRO), whereby the local atomic arrangement differs from that of a random distribution, has been used to explain physical phenomena such as thermodynamic discontinuities, increased strength, anomalous electrical resistivity and magnetic variations in a host of …

Water splitting for hydrogen and syngas production over a novel bi-layer perovskite membrane
… In this bi-layer membrane configuration, LaO.8 SrO.2 Cro9.5 Co0.05 (LSCC) is exposed to the feed side (high oxygen potential side) and LaO.8 SrO.2 CoO3 (LSCo) is chosen for the sweep side (low oxygen potential side). These two materials demonstrate different properties on the two surfaces. The …
