  • Rapid Microwave Synthesis of the Iron Arsenides NdFeAsO and NdFe₀.₉Co₀.₁AsO

    Creator:
    Muir, Sean, Rachdi, Omar, and Subramanian, Mas
    Abstract:
    The future of iron pnictide superconductors in technology is still undecided. While these materials are now known to possess high critical temperatures and critical magnetic fields processing methods for these materials are still in their infancy. Recently we have been investigating possible ways to speed up the synthetic process for...

  • Size effects on the nanomechanical properties of cellulose I nanocrystals

    Pakzad, Anahita, Simonsen, John, Heiden, Patricia A., and Yassar, Reza S.
    Abstract:
    The ultimate properties of a fibrous composite system depend highly on the transverse mechanical properties of the fibers. Here, we report the size dependency of transverse elastic modulus in cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). In addition, the mechanical properties of CNCs prepared from wood and cotton resources were investigated. Nanoindentation in an...

    Abstract:
    This paper reports the feasibility of using surface mount adhesives to produce low temperature microchannel arrays in a wide variety of metals. Sheet metal embossing and chemical etching processes have been used to produce sealing bosses that eliminate channel laminae, resulting in approximately 50% material savings over traditional methods. An...

  • Small-scale modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

    Creator:
    Kittel, Mark
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size (prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...

    Creator:
    Collins, Jean and Webster, Janet G.
    Abstract:
    In the past, fisheries and aquaculture researchers in Africa have been handicapped by poor access to current scientific literature and difficulties in getting published in visible outlets. Efforts in the past decade to improve access, awareness and use of information have flourished. We examine whether these efforts are reflected in...

    Barnard, Andrew H., Zaneveld, J. Ronald V., and Pegau, W. Scott
    Abstract:
    We tested closure between in situ radiometric and absorption coefficient measurements by using a nearly backscattering-independent remote-sensing reflectance model that employs the remote-sensing reflectance at three wavelengths. We show that only a small error is introduced into the closure model when the proper functional relationships of f/Q and the backscattering...

    Abstract:
    This paper proposes a technique, called Smell-driven performance tuning (SDPT), which semi-automatically assists end-user programmers with fixing performance problems in visual dataflow programming languages. A within-subjects laboratory experiment showed SDPT increased end-user programmers’ success rate and decreased the time they required. Another study, based on using SDPT to analyze a...

    Creator:
    Filar Williams, Beth and Valla, Sara
    Abstract:
    Open Educational Resources (OER) are increasingly used in the higher education landscape as a solution for a variety of copyright, publishing and cost-prohibiting issues. While OERs are becoming more common, reports of usability tests that evaluate how well learners can use them to accomplish their learning tasks have lagged behind....

  • Aquatic Invasions! A Menace to the West : Design the Ultimate Invader!

    Creator:
    Siemens, Tania
    Abstract:
    In Design the Ultimate Invader, students use their imagination to design the ultimate invasive species. This activity is a perfect way to launch a unit on invaders, and can serve as an assessment tool to help us learn the knowledge of our learners towards invasive species and invasion biology.
