Disorders Among Iowa Inmates Higher Than Previously Assessed, Data Download, Iowa Department of Corrections, May 2008

A newly released study shows that the prevalence of mental health and substance abuse disorders among Iowa’s inmate population is even higher than earlier findings indicated. Using the MINI-Plus assessment tool, University of Iowa researchers screened a randomly selected group of 320 incoming nonviolent offenders at IMCC from 2005 to 2007. DOC’s Director of Mental Health Services, Dr. Bruce Sieleni, participated in the study.

A Nondestructive Method for Determining the Thickness of Sound Concrete on Older Pavements, HR-250, 1983

The primary purpose of this project was to assess the potential of a nondestructive remote sensing system, specifically, ground penetrating subsurface interface radar, for identification and evaluation of D-cracking pavement failures. A secondary purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique for locating voids under pavements and determining the location of steel reinforcement. From the data collected and the analysis performed to date, the following conclusions can be made regarding the ground penetrating radar system used for this study: (1) steel reinforcement can be accurately located; (2) pavement thickness can be determined; (3) distressed areas in pavements can be located and broadly classified as to severity of deterioration; (4) voids under pavements can be located; and (5) higher resolution recording equipment is required to accurately determine both the thickness of sound pavement remaining over distressed areas and the depth of void areas under pavements.
