A 68-denier polyester fly, a tent body that includes 68- and 75-denier poly, bathtub floors, and an included ground tarp made our testers feel equally confident camping in rainy south Florida and on rocky ground in southern Utah.

The algorithms employed for poly and roots illustratean interesting aspect of the modern approach to eigenvalue computation. poly(A) generatesthe characteristic polynomial of A, and roots(poly(A)) findsthe roots of that polynomial, which are the eigenvalues of A.But both poly and roots use eig,which is based on similarity transformations. The classical approach,which characterizes eigenvalues as roots of the characteristic polynomial,is actually reversed.
It is possible to prove that poly(A) producesthe coefficients in the characteristic polynomial of a matrix withinroundoff error of A. This is true even if the eigenvaluesof A are badly conditioned. The traditional algorithmsfor obtaining the characteristic polynomial do not use the eigenvalues,and do not have such satisfactory numerical properties.
Poly-America has several subsidiaries and divisions. Carolina Poly is located in Chester, South Carolina and services the East Coast. Poly-West, a plant in Henderson, Nevada, services the West Coast. Up North Plastics, Inc., a fourth manufacturing site, is located in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Additionally, we operate Pol-Tex, a reprocessing and scrap service center, out of Mont Belvieu, Texas.
Poly-America produces several product lines, all within the polyethylene family. The group of companies comprises the world's largest producer of polyethylene construction film and the highest quality trash bag manufacturer in the United States. Poly-America is also the most technologically advanced and largest recycler and compounder of polyethylene in the world.
Our kitchen trash bags outperform the leading national brands. Our proprietary blend of high-performance polyethylene resin combined with state-of-the-art processing technology gives these bags significant strength. Our kitchen bags incorporate patented flex technology, patented gripping drawstring technology, and a variety of scented options to keep your kitchen fresh and clean.
Sheeting is available in widths ranging from 1 foot up to 50 feet, and in thicknesses from 0.3 mil (0.0003 inches) up to 10 mil (0.01 inches). Flame Retardant and Consumer sheeting rolls are also available. Paint protection comes in handy 9' x 12' and 10' x 20' consumer drop cloths as well as numerous other sheeting sizes. Lighter weight high density painter's plastic features superior tape adhesion.
Husky Yellow Guard is an exceptional polyethylene/polyolefin vapor barrier that is available in 15 mil 14 ft. x 140 ft. rolls. Our 10 mil vapor retarder is available in 14 ft. x 210 ft. rolls and our 20 mil vapor barrier is available in 14 ft. x 105 ft. rolls.
Husky Shrink Film shrinks easily and consistently. It is UV stabilized and is offered in a wide selection of sizes and thicknesses to address specialized applications. In addition to a Flame Retardant option, the shrink film is also available in a variety of colors.
All of our state-of-the-art facilities feature equipment, procedures and training that exceed environmental and safety regulations. Our plants have received numerous awards in recognition of our water and air discharge programs.
Additionally, Poly-America is an active member of Operation CleanSweep, which is committed to preventing ecological damage that can result from plastic resin discharge into the environment. Indeed, we have taken the lead in voluntarily implementing training and accountability for spill prevention, containment, and cleanup.
Since the mid-1980s, Poly-America has ranked as one of the largest recyclers of polyethylene in the world. Our infrastructure as a plastic recycler has contributed to the success of numerous local, regional, and national recycling efforts.
For more than 30 years, Poly-America has been recycling plastic and incorporating reprocessed material into a number of the film products we produce. One hundred percent of the scrap generated during our manufacturing process is incorporated back into film products. We also purchase polyethylene scrap for use in a number of our products. Several of the products we produce, including t-shirt carry-out bags, are made with post-industrial recycled material.
In 2010, we replaced all of the metal halide lighting in our manufacturing plants with energy-saving fluorescent lighting. The fluorescent fixtures use as few as 190 watts compared to the 450 watts used by metal halide fixtures. Over the past several years, we have systematically upgraded the electric motors that run our manufacturing equipment to reduced energy consumption units. Additionally, we have tracking systems in place at all of our facilities for the recyclable materials used in our processes to measure the success of our waste diversion programs.
At Poly-America, we are constantly seeking to become a more efficient and sustainable company. By integrating sustainability into our business, we can improve our products and processes to create a more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective footprint for the future. We strive to minimize waste in packaging, manufacturing, energy and transportation. From new product development to routine review of existing products and processes, we seek sustainable solutions.
The Academic Senate is the faculty governing body of the University representing approximately over 1,300 faculty members. It is the principal mechanism for consultative participation by the University community in the administrative decisions of the President. This legislative body is comprised of approximately 50 elected faculty representatives, 4 administrators, and 2 students.
The Academic Senate formulates and evaluates policy and procedures on academic, fiscal, and personnel matters. The work of the Senate is accomplished through its several committees (comprised of approximately 130 faculty, administrators, and students), which received their charges from the Academic Senate Executive Committee. Recommended action is forwarded to the Academic Senate for deliberation and then to the President for approval and implementation. In addition, the Academic Senate may make recommendations to the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the CSU Academic Senate that it judges will benefit the CSU.
The Academic Senate web address is and contains a copy of all pertinent Senate documents (Constitution of the Faculty and Bylaws of the Academic Senate, current academic senators and Academic Senate committee memberships, the Academic Senate Calendar of Meetings, etc.) and other university information.
The Academic Senate office is located in building 38 (Mathematics and Science), room 143. The telephone number of the office is 805.756.1258 and office staff can be emailed at sb...@calpoly.edu (Sarah Best). This year's Academic Senate Chair is Jerusha Greenwood (Experience Industry Management Department) who can be reached at 805.756.2050 or jbgr...@calpoly.edu. Please feel free to contact the Chair or the Senate office staff with any questions or comments you may have.
Cal Poly Cares provides limited financial assistance to currently enrolled Cal Poly students who are unable to meet immediate, essential expenses because of temporary hardship related to an unexpected situation. The grant is designated to offset a short-term financial need and is not intended to replace or supplement financial aid. Therefore, long-term needs can be addressed by meeting with a Financial Aid Counselor to determine available options. Funds are awarded as a grant, and unlike a loan, do not need to be repaid.
Applicant must be able to provide appropriate documentation to verify the circumstances for the funding request. The application is considered incomplete without the appropriate documentation. Examples of documentation include, but are not limited to:
The Cal Poly Cares Committee will make every effort to meet reasonable requests with the funds we have available; however, depending on the amount requested and the volume of applications, we may not be able to cover every request. Requests may or may not be approved for the full amount requested.
The Cal Poly Cares review committee meets and reviews applications weekly. Students whose requests are approved can expect to receive funds within two weeks of submitting their application (times may vary depending on volume of applications).
Grants will be processed by the Financial Aid Office. Once posted you will receive a generic "there has been a change to your financial aid" email from the Financial Aid Office, and will need to check your Money Matters tab on the Cal Poly Portal, or your bank account to see the funds. Please, check your direct deposit or mailing address information in your portal to ensure a timely delivery of funds.
Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but generally, to be eligible for a Cal Poly Cares grant students must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)/CA DREAM Act Application. If you haven't completed one of these applications, you may be asked to do so. If you have specific questions related to your eligibility, please contact student...@calpoly.edu.
Cal Poly has several other sources of support for students who are struggling to make ends meet. To learn more, please visit the Cal Poly Basic Needs website. You can also set up an appointment with your a counselor in the Financial Aid Office.
