Photograph of the Hurley Administration Building on the UNT campus from the north. There are students walking, riding bikes, and sitting on stone benches in the area in front of the building. There are several trees on either side and grass lawns in the area as well.

Poster advertising the Improv Lottery event, organized by Sarah Ruth and benefitting KUZU 92.9 radio station, on August 17, 2018, at Dan's Silverleaf, Denton, Texas. At this event the participants' names were drawn from a hat to form improvisational performance groups for the evening. Participants included Sarah Ruth, Tara Baker, Tex Bosley, Michael Briggs, Hannah Bronson, Neil Coburn, Chris Curiel, Miguel Espinel, Matthew Frerck, Louise Fristensky, Aaron Gonzalez, Sarah Gamblin, Chase Gardner, Ali Honchell, Sarah Jay, Nan Kirkpatrick, Dahlia Knowles, Jolene Masone, Andrew May, Reece McLean, Ernesto Montiel, Daniel Ryan, Paul Slavens, Damon Smith, Jake Thiede, and Brandon Young. KUZU DJ Murderation provided music between performers' sets. The poster, a collaboration between Sarah Ruth Alexander and Ernesto Montiel, features white text and red criss-crossing lines connecting the participants' hand-written names, over a collage of abstract watercolor sketches.

Recital presented at the UNT College of Music Voertman Hall in partial fulfillment of the Master of Music (MM) degree.

This research investigates the bio-products/phase change material (PCM) composites for the building envelope application. Bio-products, such as wood and herb, are porous medium, which can be applied in the building envelope for thermal insulation purpose. PCM is infiltrated into the bio-product (porous medium) to form a composite material. The PCM can absorb/release large amount of latent heat of fusion from/to the building environment during the melting/solidification process. Hence, the PCM-based composite material in the building envelope can efficiently adjust the building interior temperature by utilizing the phase change process, which improves the thermal insulation, and therefore, reduces the load on the HVAC system. Paraffin wax was considered as the PCM in the current studies. The building energy savings were investigated by comparing the composite building envelope material with the conventional material in a unique Zero-Energy (ZØE) Research Lab building at University of North Texas (UNT) through building energy simulation programs (i.e., eQUEST and EnergyPlus). The exact climatic conditions of the local area (Denton, Texas) were used as the input values in the simulations. It was found that the EnergyPlus building simulation program was more suitable for the PCM based building envelope using the latent heat property. Therefore, based on the …

It is well established that national retail chains impact small, single location retail businesses in terms of revenue generation, retail structure, retail type diversity, and location. This study examines the retail structure and diversity of five retail districts in the City of Denton, Texas. The analysis focuses on one central business district (CBD), one traditional retail strip center (University Drive, also known as US HWY 380), one special retail district (Fry Street District), one traditional enclosed shopping mall and associated development (Golden Triangle Mall), and one power retail center (Denton Crossing). The empirical foundation for the investigation is a historical business database covering years 1997 to 2010, obtained from Info Group's Reference USA. This Reference USA database includes location, industry, and status (single versus chain location) information for each business. Retail diversity and evenness were measured for each of the five retail districts using the Simpson's Diversity Index and the Simpsons Measure of Evenness, leading to specification of the differences that exist in retail structure and diversity among the districts. Golden Triangle Mall and Denton Crossing were primarily chain location in composition while Fry Street District, the CBD, and University Drive were primarily single location in composition. Across all years, …
