description: We develop a model of the forces on a spherical particle suspended in flow through a curved duct under the assumption that the particle Reynolds number is small. This extends an asymptotic model of inertial lift force previously developed to study inertial migration in straight ducts. Of particular interest is the existence and location of stable equilibria within the cross-sectional plane towards which particles migrate. The Navier-Stokes equations determine the hydrodynamic forces acting on a particle. A leading-order model of the forces within the cross-sectional plane is obtained through the use of a rotating coordinate system and a perturbation expansion in the particle Reynolds number of the disturbance flow. We predict the behaviour of neutrally buoyant particles at low flow rates and examine the variation in focusing position with respect to particle size and bend radius, independent of the flow rate. In this regime, the lateral focusing position of particles approximately collapses with respect to a dimensionless parameter dependent on three length scales: specifically, the particle radius, duct height and duct bend radius. Additionally, a trapezoidal-shaped cross-section is considered in order to demonstrate how changes in the cross-section design influence the dynamics of particles.

description: We propose a procedure to measure the Z0 line shape and take full advantage of the superb performance of the CERN e+e- Collider LEP. A precise determination of the total cross section at 5 energies is needed for a model-independent analysis of the data and for a precision test of the QED initial state radiation from the fully inclusive hadronic channel.

description: Most wind farms consist of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to the high power coefficient (mechanical power output divided by the power of the free-stream air through the turbine cross-sectional area) of an isolated turbine. However when in close proximity to neighbouring turbines, HAWTs suffer from a reduced power coefficient. In contrast, previous research on vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) suggests that closely-spaced VAWTs may experience only small decreases (or even increases) in an individual turbine's power coefficient when placed in close proximity to neighbours, thus yielding much higher power outputs for a given area of land. A potential flow model of inter-VAWT interactions is developed to investigate the effect of changes in VAWT spatial arrangement on the array performance coefficient, which compares the expected average power coefficient of turbines in an array to a spatially-isolated turbine. A geometric arrangement based on the configuration of shed vortices in the wake of schooling fish is shown to significantly increase the array performance coefficient based upon an array of 16x16 wind turbines. Results suggest increases in power output of over one order of magnitude for a given area of land as compared to HAWTs.

title: “Completing the Cycle” with Hardwood CLT: Innovation in material development and utilization
Creators: name: Becker, Edward
Publisher: name: University of Mass Amherst
Year: 2019

description: The New River Train Observation Tower design-build project utilizes custom-fabricated hardwood cross- laminated timber to construct an ADA accessible viewing tower in Radford, Virginia. The project showcases hardwood CLT research that positions the engineered biomaterial as a potential key asset for circular carbon economies and low-carbon construction. The study investigated the local sourcing, pressing, CNC fabrication, prefabrication, and exterior utilization of hardwood CLTs made with low-grade, locally-sourced Yellow Poplar. The project is the first example of prefabricated hardwood CLT construction in the United States and serves as an initial full-scale exterior test of fabrication and decay-prevention processes for the building product. Natural preservatives including a pine- tar-linseed-oil mix and wax were used to protect the CLT. BIM technologies such as Revit and Tekla were used to optimize the fabrication, shipment, and on-site assembly processes. The project illustrates that the upcycling and distributed manufacturing of locally-sourced, engineered biomaterials can provide novel architectural opportunities while enhancing local economies.

description: The discovery of the Spite plateau in the abundances of 7Li for metal-poor stars led to the determination of an observationally deduced primordial lithium abundance. However, after the success of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in determining the baryon density, OmegaBh^2, there was a discrepancy between observationally determined and theoretically determined abundances in the case of 7Li. One of the most important uncertain factors in the calculation of the stellar 7Li abundance is the effective temperature, Teff. We use sixteen metal-poor halo dwarfs to calculate new Teff values using the excitation energy method. With this temperature scale we then calculate new Li abundances for this group of stars in an attempt to resolve the 7Li discrepancy. Using high signal-to-noise (S/N ~ 100) spectra of 16 metal-poor halo dwarfs, obtained with the UCLES spectrograph on the AAT, measurements of equivalent widths from a set of unblended FeI lines are made. These equivalent widths are then used to calculate new Teff values with the use of the single line radiative transfer program WIDTH6, where we have constrained the gravity using either theoretical isochrones or the Hipparcos parallax, rather than the ionization balance. The lithium abundances of the stars are calculated with these temperatures. The physical parameters are derived for the 16 programme stars, and two standards. These include Teff, log g, [Fe/H], microturbulence and 7Li abundances. A comparison between the temperature scale of this work and those adopted by others has been undertaken. We find good consistency with the temperatures derived from the Halpha line by Asplund et al. (2006), but not with the hotter scale of Melendez & Ramirez (2004).

description: A study of the reactions Full-size image (<1 K), Full-size image (<1 K) and Full-size image (<1 K) was performed using the 700-litre xenon bubble chamber DIANA, exposed to the 1 GeV/c antiproton beam of ITEP (Moscow). From a sample of 7.8 · 105 antiproton annihilations at low energy in xenon nuclei 4 events were observed for the reaction Full-size image (<1 K) at rest (Full-size image (<1 K)) and 8 for the same reaction in flight (Full-size image (<1 K)). The corresponding probabilities turned out to be 3.1 · 10−5 and 3.4 · 10−5, respectively. No H-event was found in the two semi-inclusive reactions Full-size image (<1 K) and Full-size image (<1 K). This lead to the upper limits 6 · 10−6 and 8 · 10−6 (90% C.L.), respectively. The corresponding upper limit for the fully inclusive reaction Full-size image (<1 K) turned out to be 1.2 · 10−5 (90% C.L.), which is about one order of magnitude lower than the actual value reported in the literature.

The system presented has a functional viscosity nu which depends on the pressure p=p(rho,mu_i) of the flow, with the density rho and the local concentration mu_i. High order Runge-Kutta time discretization techniques are employed, and different methods of dealing with arbitrary coupled boundary conditions are discussed. Analysis of the energy consistency of the scheme is performed in addition to inspection of the relative error of the solution compared to exact analytic test cases. Finally several examples, comparisons, generalizations and physical applications are presented.

title: Expanding Strategies towards Architectural Design and Building Technology Integration
Creators: name: Manrique, Carolina
Publisher: name: University of Mass Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Our architecture program mission statement establishes that we “value design excellence centered in the poetic merging of the arts and technology”. This objective frames current curriculum and pedagogical strategies being implemented which aim to integrate the building technology sequence with architectural design studios at key moments in our undergraduate and graduate programs. Described as a “multifaceted integration model” in a recent publication by the author, a summary of strategies focused on our undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree program was presented. These included introducing design thinking in materials and methods and the structural systems one-year sequence, integrating structures and building assemblies in design studios, industry partnerships to enhance courses, and research initiatives at the program and college levels.

This paper takes a more in depth look at the specific initiatives developed to expand curriculum and pedagogical strategies aiming towards better integrating and coordinating the Integrative Design Studio and the Technical Integration Seminar in the first semester of our NAAB-accredited Master of Architecture degree program. Both courses are taught during the same semester at each of our campus locations. Changes in faculty teaching the courses have provided a varied set of approaches and resources introduced to recent generations of students. Challenges and opportunities of delivering the two courses and their relationships as co-requisites are discussed. Collaborations among faculty teaching these courses in each location (or both through distance learning) have explored focused areas as themes for the design projects such as mass timber structures and assemblies, or lighting and green design strategies.

This paper describes the integration strategies implemented in our curriculum and pedagogical approaches, collaboration models between faculty, initiatives engaging industry and academic research partnerships to strengthen theme-based directions in our courses and program (e.g. wood), and ongoing discussions on learning outcomes and evaluation criteria at this level.

description: High-pressure and variable temperature single crystal synchrotron X-ray measurements combined with first-principles based molecular dynamics simulations study diffuse scattering in the relaxor ferroelectric system PSN (PbSc$_{1/2}$Nb$_{1/2}$O$_3$). Constant temperature experiments show pressure induced transition to the relaxor phase at different temperatures characterized by butterfly and rod shaped diffuse scattering around the $\{$h00$\}$ and $\{$hh0$\}$ Bragg spots, respectively. The simulations reproduce the observed diffuse scattering features as well as their pressure-temperature behavior, and show that they arise from polarization correlations between chemically-ordered regions, which in previous simulations were shown to behave as polar nanoregions. Simulations also exhibit radial diffuse scattering (elongated towards and away from {\bf Q}=(000)), that persists even in the paraelectric phase, consistent with previous neutron experiments on (PbMg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$O$_3$) (PMN)

description: We provide a derivation of the Foppl-von Karman equations for the shape of and stresses in an elastic plate with residual strains. These might arise from a range of causes: inhomogeneous growth, plastic deformation, swelling or shrinkage driven by solvent absorption. Our analysis gives rigorous bounds on the convergence of the three dimensional equations of elasticity to the low-dimensional description embodied in the plate-like description of laminae and thus justifies a recent formulation of the problem to the shape of growing leaves. It also formalizes a procedure that can be used to derive other low-dimensional descriptions of active materials.

description: Bemangidia L. Gaut., gen. nov. – Type: B. lowryi L. Gaut. Leaf venation brochidodromous with many, closely packed, parallel and weak secondaries, difficult to distinguish from the parallel tertiaries; calyx lobes 5, quincuncial, outer two with strongly involute margins that cause impressed longitudinal grooves on the external surface of the three inner sepals; corolla lobes 5, contorted, overlapping to the right; stamens 5; staminodes 5, villous, connivent and forming a chamber above the ovary; fruit 1-seeded with seed scar covering 30% of seed surface; embryo with plano-convex cotyledons; endosperm absent. Bemangidia differs from Tsebona by brochidodromous leaf venation (instead of eucamptodromous), five stamens (instead of 3 × 5), the staminodes that are connivent and form a chamber above the ovary, a single-seeded fruit (instead of 1–5 seeds), and a seed scar that occupies 30% of the seed surface (instead of 75%). Bemangidia differs from Capurodendron similarly by leaf venation, but also in sepal aestivation which causes an impressed median groove on the inner sepals, similar to the pattern in Tsebona but absent in Capurodendron, and by larger flowers, ca. 30 mm long compared to a 2–12 mm long corolla in Capurodendron. The genus is named after Bemangidy forest that is located approximately 55 km NNE of Tolañaro (Fort Dauphin) in south-western Madagascar, the only locality from where this genus is known.

description: The workshop brought together 49 researchers from 11 different countries, representing two different research areas, spectral theory in Banach spaces and harmonic analysis, in order to promote the exchange of methods and recent results of these two areas. The 28 talks focused on the H ∞ -functional calculus for sectorial operators, related boundedness results on singular integrals, square function estimates and their application to the Kato square root problem, and regularity estimates for parabolic differential operators. They also raised many questions which lead to lively discussions, in particular during the afternoons, which were, for the most part, kept free of talks.
Brown Dwarfs as Galactic Chronometers

description: Brown dwarfs are natural clocks, cooling and dimming over time due to insufficient core fusion. They are also numerous and present in nearly all Galactic environments, making them potentially useful chronometers for a variety of Galactic studies. For this potential to be realized, however, precise and accurate ages for individual sources are required, a prospect made difficult by the complex atmospheres and spectra of low-temperature brown dwarfs; degeneracy between mass, age and luminosity; and the lack of useful age trends in magnetic activity and rotation. In this contribution, I review five ways in which ages for brown dwarfs are uniquely determined, discuss their applicability and limitations, and give current empirical precisions.

title: Maps, Videos, and Structures: Visualizing Structural Concepts through Media-Based Assignments
Creators: name: Uihlein, Marci
Publisher: name: University of Mass Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Within building technology educators in architectural education, there is a frequent exploration of structural pedagogy. How best can the theory of structural design be taught? Are calculations necessary, for example? What participatory learning assignments can guide architectural students to haptic and intuitive understandings of structure? This paper adds to this discussion by presenting two exercises designed to capture the imagination of students whose environment is saturated with Snapchat, data visualization, and Instagram.

The first assignment is a digital “term paper” for graduate students that examines earthquake design through an analysis with GIS and presenting a “Story Map” of an historic seismic event. Learning objectives for the class included:

to understand how a building structure behaves in a seismic event,
to gain the ability to determine and apply seismic loads,
and, to understand the role of the built environment and design in seismic events.
The visualization of a seismic event encourages spatial thinking and understanding of scale as well as the impact of the selection of construction type on the local communities after and earthquake.

The second project is a version of “teaching the teacher” with undergraduate students authoring two-minute videos explaining one of the primary loads on a building – live, dead, snow, wind, or seismic. Learning objectives for the assignment are:

to understand the types of loads on a building,
and to increase students’ ability to visualize, problem-solve, and understand these demands.
Storyboarding, defining and redefining the load, filming, and editing allowed for students to use their creativity, narrative voice, and graphic skills in learning and conveying the subject material.

In both cases, students moved beyond the calculation, though did not leave the numbers completely behind. This presentation will share the assignment development, outline the support from campus units, show examples of student work, present lessons learned, and share reflections by students on the projects.
Probing Reionization with Quasar Spectra: the Impact of the Intrinsic Lyman-alpha Emission Line Shape Uncertainty

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Arguably the best hope of understanding the tail end of the reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at redshift z > 6 is through the detection and characterization of the Gunn-Peterson (GP) damping wing absorption of the IGM in bright quasar spectra. However, the use of quasar spectra to measure the IGM damping wing requires a model of the quasar's intrinsic Lyman-alpha emission line. Here we quantify the uncertainties in the intrinsic line shapes, and how those uncertainties affect the determination of the IGM neutral fraction. We have assembled a catalog of high-resolution HST spectra of the emission lines of unobscured low-redshift quasars, and have characterized the variance in the shapes of their lines. We then add simulated absorption from the high-redshift IGM to these quasar spectra in order to determine the corresponding uncertainties in reionization constraints using current and future samples of z > 6 quasar spectra. We find that, if the redshift of the Lyman-alpha emission line is presumed to coincide with the systemic redshift determined from metal lines, the inferred IGM neutral fraction is systematically biased to low values due to a systematic blueshift of the Lyman-alpha line relative to the metal lines. If a similar blueshift persists in quasars at z > 6, this bias strengthens previous claims of a significant neutral hydrogen fraction at z ~ 6. This technique is capable of making a robust distinction between a highly ionized (x_IGM ~ 10^-3) and a neutral (x_IGM = 1) IGM with even a few bright quasars.

Some aspects of the oceanographic structure in the Jervis Inlet system
Creators: name: Lazier, John Robert Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The variations in the distributions of temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen content in the water in the Jervis system of inlets, between July 1961 and March 1963, have been examined in order to ascertain net current patterns and interactions between the inlets. The depths of the entrance sills divide the inlets into two groups. Of the four inlets in the system three possess shallow sills which force the tide water to enter the inlets in a turbulent jet. The circulation pattern resulting from the influence of this jet on the inlet is proposed. In contrast, the sill of the largest inlet in the system (Jervis) is deep and the tidal flow does not destroy the vertical stratification in the inlet to any appreciable degree. The relatively small fresh water runoff into Jervis creates a weak estuarine circulation resulting in slow renewal of the intermediate and deep water. The low oxygen concentrations found at mid-depths near the head of Jervis are attributed to this abnormally slow renewal. A mid-depth oscillatory flow of unknown period was found during the winter of 1962-63 in Jervis Inlet. This flow is attributed to strong south-westerly winds which raise the water level in Jervis Inlet forcing a mid-depth outflow. The direction of this flow possesses a negative correlation with the depth of the surface layer.

AbstractAvatrombopag (Doptelet®) is an orally administered second generation thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) approved for the treatment of primary chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in adult patients who are refractory or have an unsatisfactory response to other treatments, as well as for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) scheduled to undergo an invasive procedure. In phase III studies, avatrombopag was associated with a significantly greater platelet response than placebo in patients with chronic ITP, and was superior to placebo in reducing the requirement for platelet transfusion or rescue procedures for bleeding caused by surgery in patients with CLD in patients with a platelet count < 50 × 109/L at baseline. Longer term data indicate that avatrombopag is associated with high durable response rates in ITP and may have corticosteroid-sparing effects. The drug was generally well tolerated in both indications. Avatrombopag thus represents a convenient and effective second-line treatment for patients with chronic ITP and can prevent bleeding events in patients with CLD scheduled to undergo a procedure, offering a useful alternative to other available treatments in both indications.

description: Im Zuge der fortschreitenden Elektrifizierung der Fahrzeuge fällt mit steigender Effizienz die zur Verfügung stehende Abwärme der Antriebsstrangs zur Deckung des Wärmebedarfs des Innenraums. Die zusätzlich notwendigen Maßnahmen zur thermischen Konditionierung des Innenraums äußern sich in einem rein elektrischen Betrieb bei kalten Umgebungstemperaturen in einer signifikant reduzierten Reichweite. Um diesem Problem entgegenzuwirken, befasst sich diese Dissertation mit der Entwicklung eines ganzheitlichen energieeffizienten Thermomanagement-Systems auf Basis einer umkehrbarenWärmepumpe. Die Nutzung der Umgebungswärme senkt den elektrischen Energiebedarf des Thermomanagement-Systems im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Systemen basierend auf elektrischen Zuheizern bereits deutlich. Die anfallende Abwärme der elektrischen Komponenten kann zusätzlich eingebracht werden und trägt zu einer weiteren Reduktion des elektrischen Energiebedarfs durch Drosselung des Kompressors bei. Um das Potenzial dieses Mehrgrößensystems vollständig zu nutzen, wird eine nichtlineare modellprädiktive Regelung (NMPC) entwickelt. Dieser fortschrittliche Regelungsansatz bedient sich eines mathematischen Modells des Systems und optimiert die Stellgrößen in einem definierten Zeithorizont auf Basis aktueller Messdaten. Es wird gezeigt, dass bei Kenntnis des zu erwartenden Geschwindigkeitsprofils und damit der zukünftig im Antriebsstrang entstehenden Abwärme eine hochpräzise Regelung möglich ist. Ein experimenteller Machbarkeitsnachweis wird gezeigt, welcher eine echtzeitfähige NMPC-Regelung einer Wärmepumpe in einem Fahrzeug-Demonstrator darstellt.
title: Lines of Action: Investigating How Behaviors of Structural Systems Can Be an Informing Agent of Architectural Design
Creators: name: Burns, Sean
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: As part of an accredited architectural curriculum, students participate in a series of courses that introduce concepts of statics, structural principles, and methods of system analysis. As many students frequently become enamored with initial form generating procedures as an approach to architectural design, they regrettably consider the lessons presented within the sequence of structural courses as ancillary consequences to form making processes and disconnected from their concurrent design studio explorations. These assumptions lead to students over-emphasizing the appearance of an architectural act, as opposed to placing value on how architecture performs, offers spatial organization, and engages the site and its users.

This paper challenges these aforementioned perceptions by introducing a pedagogical approach focused on investigating and embracing the performance of structural assemblies as an inspiration for architectural design within these supporting structural courses. A series of physical explorations were presented to students as an opportunity to expand upon their understanding of the lessons, simultaneously being covered in class, related to the behavior of forces and the capabilities of structural systems to transfer and withstand various loading scenarios. These hand-on exercises asked the students to design and fabricate physical models to be tested under various performance criteria and challenged the students to consider ways in which structural behaviors and architectural design might inform one another. The students were assessed on their ability to innovate, test, reconsider, and summarize their predictions and findings for how their designed systems behaved internally and responded to applied external influences. Along each of the phases for these projects, students were asked to embrace failure as an integral part of the iterative design phase, persuading students to primarily focus on designing performance-orientated solutions and concentrate on studying how the actions of constituent parts systematically contributed to the performance of its composite assembly.

description: We demonstrate two-photon interference using two remote single molecules as bright solid-state sources of indistinguishable photons. By varying the transition frequency and spectral width of one molecule, we tune and explore the effect of photon distinguishability. We discuss future improvements on the brightness of single-photon beams, their integration by large numbers on chips, and the extension of our experimental scheme to coupling and entanglement of distant molecules.

description: We performed observations of NGC1569 for 6 infrared bands (3.2, 4.1, 7, 11, 15, and 24 micron) with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI. Near- to mid-infrared (2--13 micron) spectroscopy of a Halpha filament was also carried out with the IRC. The extended structure associated with a Halpha filament appears bright at 7 micron, suggesting that the filament is bright at the UIR band emission. Follow-up spectroscopic observations with the IRC confirm the presence of 6.2, 7.7, and 11.3 micron emission in the filament. The filament spectrum exhibits strong 11.3 micron UIR band emission relative to the 7.7 micron band compared to the galaxy disk observed with the Infrared Spectrograph on Spitzer. The near-infrared spectrum also suggests the presence of excess continuum emission in 2.5--5 micron in the filament. The Halpha filament is thought to have been formed by the galactic outflow originating from the star-formation activity in the disk of NGC1569. The destruction timescale of the UIR band carriers in the outflow is estimated to be much shorter (~ 1.3 x 10^3 yr) than the timescale of the outflow (~ 5.3 Myr). Thus it is unlikely that the band carriers survive the outflow environment. Alternatively, we suggest that the band carriers in the filaments may be produced by the fragmentation of large carbonaceous grains in shocks, which produces the Halpha emission. The NIR excess continuum emission cannot be accounted for by free-free emission alone and a hot dust contribution may be needed, although the free-free emission intensity estimated from HI recombination lines has a large uncertainty.

title: Transdisciplinarity & Innovation: Smart Materials in Landscape Architecture Education
Creators: name: Aragon, Carolina

description: Designed landscapes are physical manifestations of natural, cultural, and technological forces. As such, they can physically embody technologies that support sustainable practices, and provide experiences that foster their cultural acceptance. However, the current focus of sustainable design in the landscape architecture profession has centered on ecological performance, largely ignoring the role of aesthetics and new material practices. In particular, the incorporation of energy-generating materials, such as smart materials, has remained largely unexplored. As a result, new methods for expanding engagement with materials and technologies are needed.

The need to address technological innovation while providing meaningful aesthetic experiences points to the importance of transdisciplinarity as part of the design pedagogy focused on sustainability. Transdisciplinarity challenges the conception of knowledge silos, the distinction between the objective and subjective, and embraces different ways of knowing that relate to different levels of reality.1 In doing so, it presents opportunities for the integration of artful doing as part of technological innovation by simultaneously embracing the analytical, the emotional and the sensorial.2

This paper presents student work developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst that explores the incorporation of smart materials for design applications. Landscape installations and prototypes developed in two courses: Material Experiments in Landscape Architecture and Step and Flash: Creating a Piezoelectric Walkway, will illustrate how transdisciplinary explorations led to technological innovations that reduce energy consumption while appealing to the senses. Based on this experience, an initial set of guidelines for introducing transdisciplinary practices in design pedagogy is presented. This paper calls attention to the value of transdisciplinarity as a way to engage technology and further engage students with a more holistic approach to sustainable design.

description: The flicker-noise spectroscopy (FNS) approach is used to determine the dynamic characteristics of neuromagnetic responses by analyzing the magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals recorded as the response of a group of control human subjects and a patient with photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) to equiluminant flickering stimuli of different color combinations. Parameters characterizing the analyzed stochastic biomedical signals for different frequency bands are identified. It is shown that the classification of the parameters of analyzed MEG responses with respect to different frequency bands makes it possible to separate the contribution of the chaotic component from the overall complex dynamics of the signals. It is demonstrated that the chaotic component can be adequately described by the anomalous diffusion approximation in the case of control subjects. On the other hand, the chaotic component for the patient is characterized by a large number of high-frequency resonances. This implies that healthy organisms can suppress the perturbations brought about by the flickering stimuli and reorganize themselves. The organisms affected by photosensitive epilepsy no longer have this ability. This result also gives a way to simulate the separate stages of the brain cortex activity in vivo. The examples illustrating the use of the "FNS device" for identifying even the slightest individual differences in the activity of human brains using their responses to external standard stimuli show a unique possibility to develop the "individual medicine" of the future.

description: Technological advances in robotics, digital fabrication, and sensor technologies are changing the landscape of innovation, design, and production. However, integration of these technologies in architecture programs is a challenging task. It requires extensive knowledge of the robotic arm operations, complex computer applications, and developing interdisciplinary skills for producing the end of arm tooling, which makes architectural experimentation and production possible. The following paper describes an informal approach to an interdisciplinary collaboration experiment for initiating operations of a new robotics lab. Leveraging the inaugural event of the lab, students and faculty were invited to design, construct, and participate in exhibiting four projects at the event. The paper explains each project, how student and faculty interacted and learned advanced fabrication techniques, and how their experience contributed to the overall establishment of the lab.
The measurement of radial recovery in a hydrogen spark discharge.
Creators: name: Butter, Donald Alexander McNaughton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A method is described whereby the recovery of plasmas formed by the passage of a high current discharge across a spark gap has been measured as a function of both the time after the passage of a current pulse and the radial distance from the centre of the spark gap. The effects of pressure, current magnitude and current waveform on the recovery time of the test gap were investigated and it was found that all of them exerted powerful but explicable influences on the recovery. Gas temperatures were derived using the assumption that the Paschen Law holds true during the final recovery period.

Motivated strategies for learning

description: Using a mixed methods pretest-posttest design, this study explored first-year students’ 1) motivation and strategy use with regard to their introductory biology course; 2) their reasons for choosing and either keeping or leaving their major; 3) how they believed their first semester experiences informed their academic and professional plans; and 4) what they believed was most important in determining their performance. This study employed a convenience sample of first year students from five introductory biology courses, whereby 91 students completed the first questionnaire and 54 of those students completed the second questionnaire. These questionnaires included the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), an instrument designed for this study called the Biology Student Self-Efficacy Scale (BSSS), as well as several free-response questions. The quantitative results of this study showed that, overall, students become more self-efficacious with respect to biology, less confident in their abilities to manage their effort, and more confident in their ability to work with their peers over the course of the semester. Differences between different demographic groups of students with respect to motivation and study strategies were also found. Moreover, regression analyses showed that students’ academic self-efficacy and task value beliefs were positive predictors for performance; and that academic self-efficacy and effort management were negative predictors for change of major decisions. The qualitative results of this study demonstrated that, the majority of participants were likely to attribute their performance to internal factors, such as their own study behavior. Lastly, with the exception of students with undeclared majors, the participants in this study made uninformed choices for their majors. As evident in student responses, they are drawing upon too few, and informational resources when making decisions their majors and career paths. Therefore, it is recommended that institutions implement a career and major-planning course for first-year students
