"TEACHING TABLE:" Judging the Substance of Student Case Presentations
Creators: name: Mainkar, Avinash

Year: 2010
Subjects: assessment; active learning

description: Core Issue: Communication and interpersonal skills is the number one attribute recruiters look for while hiring business graduates (The Wall Street Journal, 2004). To improve their communication skills further, business students routinely make in-class case presentations. These presentations are typically evaluated by faculty based on their style and substance for a course grade. Judging the substance of a presentation is probably more difficult than judging its style. The purpose of this session is to go into the nuances of evaluating the substance of a case presentation. This will be demonstrated by evaluating the substance of some actual undergraduate student presentations. A rubric that has been used within the management department at the School of Management will be utilized. I will have a one-page summary of a case and some actual student presentations (6 slides-per-page PowerPoint format). While the session focuses on a case presentation, participants in the session will be able to apply the material to a variety of student presentations. At a broad level, the
participants will: 1) Learn about the rubric that has been used to judge student presentations. It is adapted from the one developed at the university level to assess critical thinking. It is attached to this proposal as a pdf file.
2) Develop an awareness of the kind of mistakes undergraduate students make in their case
presentations.
3) Learn about the authorâ€™s â€œtop tenâ€ list of flaws in the substance of student case presentations.
4) Improve their ability to give constructive feedback to their undergraduate student presenters.

description: The Avicore Fuel System is a novel high-value aviation bio-fuel solution, produced by a multiple biological-chemical process. The main steps can be divided into a synthetic-biological one (synthesizing the intermediate) and a catalytical one. What we propose is a process where algae and agricultural- and slaughter wastes are used as the feedstock for a genetically modified organism. It will be modified to produce longer alcohols, both branched and linear, as required by the specific application. The alcohols derived from the fermentation process are thereafter chemically transformed into fuel with chemical and physical properties suitable for use in aviation.

description: Hygrothermal analysis of building components requires the knowledge of the convective
heat and mass surface coefficients at exterior and interior building surfaces.
Exterior surface coefficients are to a large extent influenced by the local wind
speed near the surface. In most hygrothermal models, these coefficients are obtained
from empirical formulae. They are used to relate the reference wind speed at a
meteorological station to a local wind speed near the building surface and to relate
the local wind speed to the heat surface coefficient. The vapor surface coefficients
are generally determined from the heat surface coefficients using the Chilton-Colburn
analogy. The existing empirical formulae for the heat surface coefficient as a
function of wind speed however are based on only a limited number of measurements at
a few facade positions and for a few building configurations. Little is known about
the actual value and the variability of the surface coefficients across facades of
different building geometries.
In the past, most research on surface coefficients was experimental. Recently,
numerical simulations based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been employed.
Up to now, most simulations however have focused on interior surface coefficients.
This paper presents high-resolution CFD simulations of exterior convective heat
surface coefficients at the surface of a cubic building model. The simulations
involve solving the entire structure of the boundary layer near the wall, including
the logarithmic layer, the buffer layer and the laminar sublayer. Because of the high
Reynolds numbers associated with wind flow around buildings and because the thickness
of the boundary layer decreases with increasing Reynolds number, very high resolution
grids, with cells as small as a few micrometers, have to be used near the building
surface. The results show very distinct gradients across the facade. They indicate
that the largest values of the surface coefficients occur at the edges, which are
also the positions where wind-driven rain intensities are largest. This is of
interest for the wetting-drying behavior of facades. Finally, it is shown that the
low-resolution CFD approach, that has been used in some previous studies, and in
which not the entire boundary layer is resolved, can yield some important discrepancies.

description: This paper is devoted to the phenomenon of superintegrability. This phenomenon is manifested in the existence of a formula for character averages, expressed through the same characters at special points and of its various generalization. In this paper we develop a method of proving such formulas from first principle from Virasoro constraints and $W$-representation. We apply it to prove the formula for the Jack functions averages - appropriate analogue of characters for the $β$-deformed Hermitian Gaussian matrix model. We also sketch the construction of $W$-operators from Calogero-Ruijsenaars Hamiltonians.

description: Introduction: The world faces the greatest socio-economic shock in a generation, coming at a time of acute inequality, ecological fragility and growing distrust within and amongst societies due to Corona virus disease 19, which has health as well as humanitarian and development crisis that is threatening to leave deep social, economic and political scars for years to come, particularly in countries found in fragility, poverty and conflict. Objectives: The overall objective of this study was to assess level of knowledge and factors associated toward COVID 19 among residents in Arsi Zone, South East Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among Data entry and cleaning was done using Epi Info version 3.5.4 and exported to SPSS version 22 for analysis. Descriptive statistics was used to depict frequency, mean and percentages of the characteristics. Logistic regression was run to see significant predictors of knowledge and 95% CI at p-value <0.05 were used declare significant association. Results: About 54.1% of the respondents had good knowledge about COVID 19. Being government employee AOR 3.37 95% CI (1.16, 9.79) and income> 2000 birr AOR 2.8 95% CI (1.33, 5.90) were significantly associated with having good knowledge about COVID 19. Conclusions: Low socio-economic status was more likely to be related with low earning which might limit access to information regarding COVID 19. Hence, targeting information dissemination about COVID 19 to low income societies might improve the level of knowledge about COVID 19.

description: Rain is the main source of moisture on the building envelope. Wood cladding, window
wood frame and, in the case of water infiltration, even the wood frame structure can
be in contact with water. In the context of the development of a multi-scale moisture
transfer model for wood components of the building envelope, it is found that one
element, namely the pit of the wood structure plays a critical role in water
transfer. Hundreds of pits, small porous openings between adjacent wood cells, allow
for water to move along the cells, across and along growth rings. It seems that the
permeability of wood would depend largely on the permeability of these pits.
Liquid transfer models for wood require the knowledge of the liquid permeability of
the pits. Information about pit geometry in literature is rather limited, and
relatively little information about pit permeability has been provided. This is at
least partly due to the fact that experimental data for this small and fragile
microcellular structure are very difficult to obtain.
Pits are characterised by a rather complex geometry. They consist of a central
impermeable torus, which is held in place by the margo, which is a loose and complex
mesh of microfibrillar strands through which water can pass. As a result of this
complex geometry, the dynamics of water flow is also quite complex.
This paper will present Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for a range of
generic pit geometries. The models take into account the complex network structure of
the margo by the detailed implementation of each of the individual microfibrillar
strands. In this paper, the construction of the CFD models will be presented, the
calculation results in terms of liquid permeability will be provided and their
applicability for different wood species will be discussed.  This paper also
discusses issues with modelling porous materials with CFD.

description: Seed sowing techniques play an important role in the placement of seed at proper depth and spacing, which ultimately affect the crop growth and its yield performance. The selection of suitable sowing methods for wheat production is dependent upon the time of planting, soil types, accessibility and affordability of sowing machine. Therefore, the current study was conducted during 2019/20 at eight selected districts of Arsi zone to find out and investigate the effects of different sowing techniques on yield and yield components of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) on fields of Smallholder Farmers as Compared to Broadcasting Sowing Method. A field experiment was consisted of three sowing techniques (Bereken Maresha + full ART set, only ART leveling board + traditional Maresha and broadcasting sowing method). The treatments were laid out in randomized complete block design with eight replications. The usage of full ART plus Bereken Maresha for sowing showed highly significant (p<0.01) effect on grain yield. The maximum grain yield of wheat was obtained from sowing seeds by using full ART + Bareken Maresha as compare and broadcasting sowing methods. The yield increment recorded by Bareken Maresha plus Full ART set and levelling board plus traditional Maresha was enhanced by 25.37% and 18.34%, respectively per meter square than broadcasting sowing method. Therefore, this study recommends carrying out further additional agronomic research over location and time in order to raise wheat yield for the successful promotion and adoption.

description: Apart from sports purposes, stadia are also increasingly being used for concerts and
other events with large spectator attendance. The main aspect for spectator comfort
in open stadia is protection from wind and rain. In the design of many existing
stadia however, rain shelter has insufficiently been taken into account because most
roofs have been designed with vertical rainfall in mind, while no consideration has
been given to the possibility of rain being blown onto the stands and spectators by
wind (wind-driven rain). Adequate rain shelter should be addressed during the design
stage of new sports and football stadia. Currently however, almost no information or
guidelines on this matter are available. This paper presents an investigation of the
impact of roof geometry on rain shelter. 2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
simulations and Lagrangian particle tracking are performed to analyse the wind flow
pattern and rainfall distribution in seven generic stadium configurations and to
assess the performance of each roof type. Although most existing stadium roofs are
built with a light to medium upward slope towards the field, the analysis indicates
that roofs with a downward slope of 13° provide significantly better rain shelter.
This paper will demonstrate that the reason is not only the well-known trigonometric
shielding effect. This effect refers to the rain shelter that can theoretically be
obtained by assuming that raindrop trajectories are straight lines. This study will
show that, in addition to the trigonometric shielding effect, downward sloping roofs
restrict the extent of the primary vortex in the stadium and generate a sufficiently
strong counter-rotating secondary vortex below the roof that sweeps the rain away
from the stands. This specific feature appears to occur only for roofs with a
sufficiently large downward slope. As a result, downward sloping roofs are clearly
superior in terms of rain shelter compared to traditional roof types with an upward
slope towards the field.

description: Since the first Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases detected in Ethiopia on March 3, 2020, the pandemic has posed a great challenge, as it causes many adverse effects on agricultural activities and thus on food and nutrition security, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. The sector is more vulnerable to the pandemic and can threaten the livelihoods of small holder farmers and urban community as well as the supply to the agro-based industries leading to social and economic crises. The current desk review was conducted to help decision making at all levels of administrations and other stakeholders who are involved in supporting the agriculture and food systems in Arsi zone and the region at large. Relevant information from recent journal articles, organizational reports, newsletters and various expert blogs related to the current pandemics were gathered, in addition to expertise view. This paper presents the possible effects of COVID-19 on crops and livestock production and health, food value chain, nutritional security, natural resource conservation and socio-economic aspects of the farming community in Arsi zone with identification of possible strategies for overcoming the impact of the current pandemic. The spread of the virus particularly affects the farming activity and market access of small holder farmers to sell their products or buy essential inputs. This could create huge problem to agricultural production and food systems leading to the socio- economic crisis in the country. Therefore, the national, regional and zonal authorities should take proper steps to maintain well functioning of farming system and agri-food value chains.

description: Predictive-quality computational modeling of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions has emerged as an important tool for the analysis and assessment of activity and activity trends. In contrast, more subtle selectivities and selectivity trends still pose a significant challenge to prevalent microkinetic modeling approaches that typically employ a mean-field approximation (MFA). Here, we focus on CO hydrogenation on Rh catalysts with the possible products methane, acetaldehyde, ethanol and water. This reaction has already been subject to a number of experimental and theoretical studies with conflicting views on the factors controlling activity and selectivity towards the more valuable higher oxygenates. Using accelerated first-principles kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations and explicitly and systematically accounting for adsorbate-adsorbate interactions through a cluster expansion approach, we model the reaction on the low-index Rh(111) and stepped Rh(211) surfaces. We find that the Rh(111) facet is selective towards methane, while the Rh(211) facet exhibits a similar selectivity towards methane and acetaldehyde. This is consistent with the experimental selectivity observed for larger, predominantly (111)-exposing Rh nanoparticles and resolves the discrepancy to earlier first-principles MFA microkinetic work that found the Rh(111) facet to be selective towards acetaldehyde. While the latter work tried to approximately account for lateral interactions through coverage-dependent rate expressions, our analysis demonstrates that this fails to sufficiently capture concomitant correlations among the adsorbed reaction intermediates that crucially determine the overall selectivity.

description: We performed high-pressure transport studies on the flat-band Kagome compounds, Pd$_3$P$_2$(S$_{1-x}$Se$_x$)$_8$ ($x$ = 0, 0.25), with a diamond anvil cell. For both compounds, the resistivity exhibits an insulating behavior with pressure up to 17 GPa. With pressure above 20 GPa, a metallic behavior is observed at high temperatures in Pd$_3$P$_2$S$_8$, and superconductivity emerges at low temperatures. The onset temperature of superconducting transition $T_{\rm C}$ rises monotonically from 2 K to 4.8 K and does not saturate with pressure up to 43 GPa. For the Se-doped compound Pd$_3$P$_2$(S$_{0.75}$Se$_{0.25}$)$_8$, the $T_{\rm C}$ is about 1.5 K higher than that of the undoped one over the whole pressure range, and reaches 6.4 K at 43 GPa. The upper critical field with field applied along the $c$ axis at typical pressures is about 50$\%$ of the Pauli limit, suggesting a 3D superconductivity. The Hall coefficient in the metallic phase is low and exhibits a peaked behavior at about 30 K, which suggests either a multi-band electronic structure or an electron correlation effect in the system.

Methods: Health facility based cross-sectional study was conducted. Systematic random sampling technique was used. The number of sample size for this study was 421.The collected data was entered in to EPI INFO Version -7 and then, exported, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 22. Data analysis technique such as descriptive and summary was used to present the finding. Association between dependent & independent variables was computed by using logistic regression model at 0.05 level of significance and odds ratio to measure the strength of association with 95 % CI. Result: The magnitude of the depression in our study is 24.2 %. Female were more likely [AOR(95% CI):3.65(1.82,7.43)] to develop depression compared to male, those with clinical stage III patients were more likely to develop depression [AOR(95% CI): 8.87, (1.689, 46.95)] than clinical stage I, those who live alone were more likely to develop depression [AOR(95% CI): 2.3 (1.09, 5.51)], than those who live with family and those with CD4 count < 200 were more likely to develop depression [AOR(95% CI): 4.5 (2.15, 9.64)] than with CD4 count >400. Conclusions: Depression is high among people living on ART. Socio demographic factors like sex, living alone and HIV related factors like CD4 count, HIV clinical stage were show significant association with depression among HIV positive patients. Improving chronic HIV care like early CD4 count and early treatment is recommended.

description: We obtained Keck/DEIMOS spectra of 556 individual red giant branch stars in 4 spectroscopic fields spanning $13-31$ projected kpc along the Northeast (NE) shelf of M31. We present the first detection of a complete wedge pattern in the space of projected M31-centric radial distance versus line-of-sight velocity for this feature, which includes the returning stream component of the shelf. This wedge pattern agrees with expectations of a tidal shell formed in a radial merger and provides strong evidence in favor of predictions of Giant Stellar Stream (GSS) formation models in which the NE shelf originates from the second orbital wrap of the tidal debris. The observed concentric wedge patterns of the NE, West (W), and Southeast (SE) shelves corroborate this interpretation independently of the models. We do not detect a kinematical signature in the NE shelf region corresponding to an intact progenitor core, favoring GSS formation models in which the progenitor is completely disrupted. The shelf's photometric metallicity distribution implies that it is dominated by tidal material, as opposed to the phase-mixed stellar halo or the disk. The metallicity distribution ([Fe/H]$_{\rm phot}$ = $-0.42$ $\pm$ $0.01$) also matches the GSS, and consequently the W and SE shelves, further supporting a direct physical association between the tidal features.

description: Background: Inter-pregnancy intervals of at least 24 months are recommended due to the association between shorter intervals and higher rates of infant mortality, pre-term and low birth weight newborns. Increasing use of postpartum contraception can reduce the number of short-interval pregnancies. Despite these facts, there is a very limited data related to postpartum contraception utilization and contributing factors in the study area. Objective: to assess postpartum family planning utilization and associated factors among Women who gave birth in the last 12 months in Zeway Dugda and Dodota Districts. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 15-31, 2020. Data was collected from a random sample of 796 women who gave birth during the last 12 months using structured and pre- tested questionnaire. The collected data was entered using Epi-Info version 7 software and then exported to SPSS version-21 for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was used and association between postpartum family planning uptake and independent variables were measured using adjusted odds ratios and its 95% confidence interval and P- values below 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Magnitude of overall postpartum family planning utilization in the study districts was 17.46%. Immediate Postpartum family planning uptake rate was 1.01%. status and receiving family planning counseling during ANC visit were main factor associated to postpartum family planning uptake. Conclusion: Postpartum family planning uptake specially the immediate one al status and family planning counseling during ANC were found to be predictors for postpartum family planning utilization.

description: Theoretical analysis of three exclusive decays, $B_{c}\to J/ψ+\mathcal{R},$where $\mathcal{R}=K+4π,$$KK+3π$, or $7π$, is given. Using the factorization method and the resonance approximation (methods proved to be very useful in the analysis of some other similar decays), we have obtained analytical expressions of the required amplitudes and created distributions over some interesting mass combinations. Presented results could be used for comparison with forthcoming experimental data and better understanding of the nature of heavy quarkonia.

description: This paper discusses the development of a computer based software tool to generate groundwater contaminant data; that can be utilised in the sustainable management of water resources; in urban areas reliant on groundwater. The tool incorporates several models, including a model for simulation of the integrated urban water system within an urban area to estimate contaminant loads, a model that estimates the extent of leakage from sewer pipelines and two unsaturated transport models which trace the attenuation of contaminants and movement of water through the soil to the aquifer. The output from the tool is data suitable for use in commercially available groundwater flow models to allow prediction of contaminant flows within the aquifer, as well as sufficient data to allow socio-economic analysis of different scenarios. The urban water system tool allows water services to be represented in a flexible manner and provides the ability to represent and investigate the implications of a wide range of conventional and emergent techniques for providing water supply, stormwater and wastewater services. This allows the users to process predefined scenarios, and provide options to the end-user to develop best practice response to the scenario based on the scenarios potential for groundwater contamination. For example modifying customer preferences, groundwater treatment or introducing system improvements that minimise contamination.
Towards high all-optical data writing rates in synthetic ferrimagnets

description: Although all-optical magnetization switching with fs laser pulses has garnered much technological interest, the ultimate data rates achievable have scarcely been investigated. Recently it has been shown that after a switching event in a GdCo alloy, a second laser pulse arriving 7 ps later can consistently switch the magnetization. However, it is as of yet unknown whether the same holds in layered ferrimagnetic systems, which hold much promise for applications. In this work we investigate the minimum time delay required between two subsequent switching events in synthetic ferrimagnetic Co/Gd bilayers using two fs laser pulses. We experimentally demonstrate that the minimum time delay needed for consistent switching can be as low as 10 ps. Moreover, we demonstrate the importance of engineering heat diffusion away from the magnetic material, as well as control over the laser pulse power. This behavior is reproduced using modelling, where we find that the second switch can occur even when the magnetization is not fully recovered. We further confirm that heat diffusion is a critical factor in reducing the time delay for the second switch, while also confirming a critical dependence on laser power.

description: 8. Lecithocera trifera Meyrick, 1938
(Figs 6H, I)
Lecithocera trifera Meyrick, 1938: 14 (Pl. 2, Fig. 2 for adult); Ghesquière 1940: 58; Park et al. 2021: 360. Type locality: DR Congo, Lac Magera; Type depository: lectotype with missing abdomen (designated here) in RMCA.
Type material examined. Lectotype: “TYPE [orange label] // MUSÉE DU CONGO / Lac Magera (2000), 259 / 26/II – 7-III-1934 [26 ii−7 iii 1934] / G. F. de Witte / PARC NAT. ALBERT // Congo belge: P.N.A / Lac Magera / 2000m. 26-ii/ 7-iii-1934 [26 ii−7 iii 1934] / G. F. de Witte: 259 // E. Meyrick det., 1937: / Lecithocera [handwritten] / trifera Meyr. [handwritten] // R. DÉT. 4080 / C”, deposited in RMCA.
Distribution. DR Congo (Meyrick 1938, Ghesquière 1940).
Remarks. Meyrick (1938) described the species based on a type series comprising four specimens. Of them, two syntypes (one from Lac Magera, 2,000 m, 26 ii–7 iii 1934, and the other, for which the label information could not be clearly identified, but an orange-colored label marked 'type' is visible) are deposited in RMCA, but we couldn't examine the genitalia because their abdomens are missing. The remaining two syntypes are probably deposited in NHMUK, but we couldn't directly confirm them. However, the forewing pattern of this species (Figs 6H (after Meyrick 1938: Pl. 2, Fig. 2) and 6I (one of two syntypes deposited in RMCA)) differs from that of its congeners by the broad blackish basal zone in basal 1/3. Therefore, its systematic position should be verified within Lecithocera, likely not congeneric.
Based on the ICZN (1999;International Code of Zoological Nomenclature), in accordance with Recommendation 74B, when designating a lectotype from the four syntypes, the one that Meyrick (1938) illustrated in the original publication should be designated as the lectotype. However, among the four syntypes collected from three different locations (Lac Magera, 2,000 m, 26 ii−7 iii 1934; Burunga (Mokoto), 2,000 m, 9−20 iii 1934; and R. Bishakishaki (Kamatembe), 2,100 m, 11−22 iv 1934), only one specimen, examined by us, fully represents the characters of this species and meets all the requirements of the ICZN Art. 74.7. It is designated here as the lectotype. The lectotype is designated as part of our taxonomic work to enhance the stability of nomenclature (Declaration 44 – Amendment of Art. 74.7.3) with the purpose to delineate the species-group taxon Lecithocera trifera Meyrick, 1938.
