The internationalization brought about by online finding aids and the United States’ expanding diverse population necessitates a renewed focus on representation and accessibility in archival research. The accessibility of archival resources depends on the language in which the content is offered to the public. Throughout the United States, the Spanish-speaking...
In this article, we provide a brief overview of generative artificial intelligence and large language models. We then propose eight critical questions that libraries should ask when exploring this technology and its implications for their communities. We argue that libraries have a unique role in facilitating informed and responsible use...
Consideration of social and cultural dimensions in coastal and marine planning has increased and ecosystem services provide important framing to investigate values and priorities associated with these systems. Research efforts in coastal communities offer insights on social dimensions of ocean and coastal management decisions, but questions remain about how demographics...
Contaminants are ubiquitous in the environment, often reaching aquatic systems. Combinations of forestry use pesticides have been detected in both water and aquatic organism tissue samples in coastal systems. Yet, most toxicological studies focus on the effects of these pesticides individually, at high doses, and over acute time periods, which,...
Carbon nanotube (CNT) photodiodes are a promising system for high-efficiency photocurrent generation due to the strong Coulomb interactions that can drive carrier multiplication. If the Coulomb interactions are too strong, however, exciton formation can hamper photocurrent generation. Here, we explore, experimentally and theoretically, the effect of the environmental dielectric constant...
Many high school teachers are prohibited from interacting with students in social media sites despite the fact that the majority of teenagers actively use them. The first opportunity most students have to interact with instructors in an online environment is in higher education. University and college librarians can take the...
Empirische Studien belegen, dass in virtuellen Kursen häufiger unlautere Mittel eingesetzt werden als im Präsenzunterricht. Dieser Artikel zeigt anhand zweier Fallbeispiel aus dem universitären virtuellen DaF-Unterricht verschiedene Möglichkeiten, die Integrität eines Kurses ohne eine Vielzahl an intrusiven technischen Mitteln zu gewährleisten. Während eine logische Reihung von formativen und summativen Tests...
This article investigates the in-tube, superheated, saturated, and subcooled condensation of zeotropic refrigerant mixture R454C. R454C is proposed to replace R404A for commercial refrigeration applications. Quasi-local heat transfer coefficients were measured in a 4.7 mm horizontal tube at mass fluxes ranging from 100 to 500 kg m−2 s−1 at three different saturation...
The objective of this paper was to measure and compare the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R404A and two potential replacement candidate refrigerants with a lower global warming potential, R448A and R452A. Experiments were conducted inside a 4.7 mm horizontal tube at mass fluxes ranging from 100 to...
There is growing interest to use supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as a working fluid in thermal management applications. This study investigates the thermal-hydraulic performance of microchannel heat sinks as a function of flow channel geometry and orientation at operating conditions representative of electronics cooling applications. Three different experimental test sections,...
