title: Influence of Compressibility on Incidence Losses of Turbomachinery at Subsonic Operation
Creators: name: Saul, Sebastian

name: Pelz, Peter F.
Publisher: name: Institution of Mechanical Engineers
Year: 2022

description: The in situ scaling-up methods for the efficiency and pressure rise for axial and centrifugal fans give satisfying results in the design point for low Mach number flow only. At higher Mach numbers these methods result in a significant difference between prediction and measurement. To end up with a better understanding of the effects caused by the compressibility and incidence between incoming flow and profile a predictive physical model for the incidence loss for compressible flows is introduced. This model is validated by cascade measurements at different incidence angles and Mach numbers up to 0.7.

description: We study the asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of 2D vibrating systems with mass density perturbed in a vicinity of closed curves. The threshold case in which resonance frequencies of the membrane and thin inclusion coincide or closely situated is investigated. The perturbed eigenvalue problem can be realized as a family of self-adjoint operators acting on varying Hilbert spaces. However the so-called limit operator which is ultimately responsible for the asymptotics of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions is non-self-adjoint and possesses the Jordan chains of length $2$. Apart from the lack of self-adjointness, the operator has non-compact resolvent. As a consequence, its spectrum has a complicated structure, for instance, the spectrum contains a countable set of eigenvalues with infinite multiplicity.

description: This paper outlines strategies that would advance coastal ocean modeling, analysis and prediction as a complement to the observing and data management activities of the coastal components of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®) and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). The views presented are the consensus of a group of U.S. based researchers with a cross-section of coastal oceanography and ocean modeling expertise and community representation drawn from Regional and U.S. Federal partners in IOOS. Priorities for research and development are suggested that would enhance the value of IOOS observations through model-based synthesis, deliver better model-based information products, and assist the design, evaluation and operation of the observing system itself. The proposed priorities are: model coupling, data assimilation, nearshore processes, cyberinfrastructure and model skill assessment, modeling for observing system design, evaluation and operation, ensemble prediction, and fast predictors. Approaches are suggested to accomplish substantial progress in a 3-8 year timeframe. In addition, the group proposes steps to promote collaboration between research and operations groups in Regional Associations, U.S. Federal Agencies, and the international ocean research community in general that would foster coordination on scientific and technical issues, and strengthen federal-academic partnerships benefiting IOOS stakeholders and end users.

description: The understanding that optimized components do not automatically lead to energy-efficient systems sets the attention from the single component on the entire technical system. At TU Darmstadt, a new field of research named Technical Operations Research (TOR) has its origin. It combines mathematical and technical know-how for the optimal design of technical systems. We illustrate our optimization approach in a case study for the design of a ventilation system with the ambition to minimize the energy consumption for a temporal distribution of diverse load demands. By combining scaling laws with our optimization methods we find the optimal combination of fans and show the advantage of the use of multiple fans.

description: This paper uses a mixed-methods approach to explore the increased use of domestic workers in the United States and the political economy around reforms to protect these workers from labor standards violations. Domestic workers are predominantly female with a high proportion of immigrants. Labor force survey data indicate that the number of home health aides has surpassed housekeepers and child care providers, and qualitative evidence points to multiple problems with wage and hour violations and poor working conditions. Case study evidence for New Jersey from a representative household survey indicates that the majority of household employers are unfamiliar with legislation that governs the wages and hours of their domestic workers. More in-depth interviews suggest that wage theft is the main concern among advocates for low-wage workers, which could be addressed by a "domestic worker bill of rights" as passed in eight other states or by targeted wage theft legislation that includes increased employer liability in wage recovery lawsuits.

description: Mechanochemistry is increasingly recognized for its sustainability, environmental benefits, and efficiency in synthesizing a wide array of chemicals and materials. This research focuses on advancing our understanding of the factors that influence mechanochemical processes, which remains limited despite the broad application of these techniques in industry and research. Specifically, this paper explores the impact of mass transfer—a parameter previously underexplored in the context of mechanochemistry—on the outcome of chemical syntheses performed without solvents, thus avoiding the use of environmentally harmful substances and complex purification steps. This study introduces a novel multi-functional ball-mill medium design that enhances mass transfer, promotes more uniform kinetic energy distribution and material treatment, and increases overall synthesis efficiency. By analyzing the products of allotrope conversion, co-crystallization, and size reduction, we demonstrate how our new design enhances mechanochemical reactions. The findings indicate that adjusting the geometry of the milling media can significantly influence the chemical transformation processes. This advancement not only contributes to a deeper comprehension of mechanochemical synthesis but also opens avenues for more controlled and scalable production methods. The research underscores the importance of considering mass transfer in developing more effective mechanochemical technologies, paving the way for future innovations in this green chemistry field.

description: When transitioning from a face-to-face course to an online course, professors are faced with many questions regarding what materials and activities to prepare to help students learn. What the professors view as valuable for student learning and what students view as valuable may be different. An unexpected online class in a marketing research course, due to a building closure before the great COVID online switch, in the early weeks of the Spring 2020 semester provided the opportunity to solicit student feedback on what type of materials and activities they view as valuable when going online. Student feedback on how they prepared for materials from a face-to-face and online class sessions were compared, their impressions of an online class, and suggestions on activities that can be conducted in an online environment improve their understanding of the content was solicited via an extra credit survey. This presentation will walk the participants through the basics of how the class was turned online, how student preparation compared, and the types of activities as recommended by students.

description: Introduction: Open reduction and fixation are the standard of care for treating mandibular fractures and usually lead to successful healing. However, complications such as delayed healing, non-union, and infection can compromise patient outcomes and increase healthcare costs. The initial inflammatory response, particularly the response involving specific CD8+ T cell subpopulations, is thought to play a critical role in healing long bone fractures. In this study, we investigated the role of these immune cell profiles in patients with impaired healing of mandibular fractures. Materials and methods: In this prospective study, we included patients with mandibular fractures surgically treated at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany, between September 2020 and December 2022. We used follow-up imaging and clinical assessment to evaluate bone healing. In addition, we analyzed immune cell profiles using flow cytometry and quantified cytokine levels using electrochemiluminescence-based multiplex immunoassays in preoperative blood samples. Results: Out of the 55 patients enrolled, 38 met the inclusion criteria (30 men and 8 women; mean age 32.18 years). Radiographic evaluation revealed 31 cases of normal healing and 7 cases of incomplete consolidation, including 1 case of non-union. Patients with impaired healing exhibited increased levels of terminally differentiated effector memory CD8+ T cells (TEMRA) and a higher TEMRA to regulatory T cell (Treg) ratio, compared with those with normal healing. Conclusions: Our analysis of mandibular fracture cases confirms our initial hypothesis derived from long bone fracture healing: monitoring the TEMRA to Treg ratio in preoperative blood can be an early indicator of patients at risk of impaired bone healing. Radiologic follow-up enabled us to detect healing complications that might not be detected by clinical assessment only. This study highlights the potential of individual immune profiles to predict successful healing and may form the basis for future strategies to manage healing complications.

description: This work designed a continuous-flow tubular reactor for rapidly and scalably harvesting the metal-organic framework (MOF) of UiO-66(Zr)-NH2. The experimental conditions, including temperature (110–140 °C), holding time (10–30 min), and CH3COOH/H2N-BDC molar ratio (100–250), were carried out to survey their impacts on the product yield and quality. The highest yield and production rate of ∼72% and ∼1.55 g h−1 were obtained at 130 °C, 20 min, and CH3COOH/H2N-BDC ratio 200. The temperature and modulator content significantly influenced MOFs’ crystal morphology, crystallinity, and porosity. Besides, the adopted method also successfully produced UiO-66 and UiO-67 MOFs with high production rates. The adsorptive denitrogenation (ADN) performances were carried out using liquid fuel models containing quinoline (QU) and 2-methyl pyrrole (MP). In batch mode adsorption, the UiO-66-NH2-130-200 sample showed the highest adsorbing quantities of ∼199 and ∼163 mg g−1 for QU and MP, respectively. Furthermore, the prepared MOFs efficiently removed NCCs from liquid fuel under a continuous fixed-bed column process. These demonstrate that modulator-assisted continuous-flow synthesis can be a potential strategy for the scalable harvest of Zr-MOFs with good qualities and high performance in getting rid of NCCs from liquid fuel.

description: B. Solution Strategy – Implementing a new course re-design strategy can solve these issues and help create a re-designed course that more adequately meets the learning objectives and is significantly more engaging. Following the conclusion of a course, the instructor invites 3-4 students who were enrolled in that course to participate in a semester-long re-design of that same course. The course is stripped down to the learning objectives and everything, from the course structure, the textbook, the assignments, and the lectures are questioned, evaluated, and re-designed. All with the input of students who have just taken the course. C. Context/Evidence – This presentation will provide an outline for how this process has worked, and evolved, through the implementation from three separate courses. Original course syllabi, assignments, and learning outcomes will be shared, and compared, to re-designed course syllabi, assignments, and learning outcomes. Additionally, the process that has emerged through three trials of this strategy will be explained so that interested instructors may implement this strategy themselves. D. Teaching Principles and Research That Inform This Practice – This process is an exercise in critical self-examination since the participants are freely encouraged to criticize every aspect of the course. The teaching principles, including Bloom’s Taxonomy, what makes an effective assignment, and principles that make an engaging presentation are shared with participating students and incorporated into the final re-designed course. While this strategy certainly involves teaching principles, this presentation will focus more on “getting over yourself” and turning the tables or criticism to create a better course. E. Format – The presentation will begin by briefly outlining the issues with our current form of student feedback and will then transition to the process created by the presenter to remedy these issues. This includes the selection of the participants, how to run this as a for-credit course, the methods used to ensure the students act as a “brain trust” and not unpaid workers, and the feedback from students who have participated in this process.

Year: 2020

description: Since Gen Z has grown up in a visual culture shaped by colorful user interfaces on social media and minimal text, students consume information differently and may feel intimated by dense, text-heavy assignment instructions. The solution for this involves using document design techniques that make assignment prompts easy for students to understand, interpret, and engage with. This includes incorporating more white space, colors, bolding/underlining, and lists into prompts. During a short unit on document design in ENGH 101, I invited students to share feedback on two different assignment prompts for the same Annotated Bibliography. The “standard” prompt provided by the department was dense and confusing, and the other prompt was one that I adapted to include more white space, color, bullet points, and concise language. Students indicated that they preferred the latter, and as a class exercise, I had students help re-design the “standard” prompt to include visual rhetoric techniques that they had learned earlier in the semester. Since then, I have adapted my prompts to include student feedback and there has been noticeably less confusion in assignments. During the SoTL Showcase session in Zoom, I will present slides that give a brief overview of my research, examples from my classroom, and document design strategies to incorporate in assignment prompts. Participants will learn how to incorporate document design techniques into their assignment prompts to make them more accessible to students.

description: Lithium-selenium (Li-Se) batteries are a promising energy storage system in electric vehicles due to their high capacity and good kinetics. However, the shuttle effect issue, caused by polyselenide dissolution from the Se cathode, has hampered the development of Li-Se batteries. Herein, we developed a facile preparation of porous carbon from a metal-organic framework (MOF) to confine Se (Se/CZIF) and protect the Se/CZIF composite with an alucone coating by molecular layer deposition (MLD). The optimal alucone coated Se/CZIF cathode prepared exhibits a one-step reversible charge/discharge process in the carbonate electrolytes. The inhibition of polyselenide dissolution is credited with the improved electrochemical performance, formation of thin and stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers, and a reduction in charge transfer resistance, thus improving the overall performance of Li-Se batteries.

SoTL SHOWCASE: Ungrading – ditching the numerical scores to improve learning and engagement (5 min lightning talk in 90 minute roundtable)
Creators: name: Frankenfeld, Cara
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: TEACHING CHALLENGE: While grades represent a way to differentiate student accomplishment or mastery of material, grade anxiety is a critical issue among students. Concern has been raised in the pedagogical literature as to whether numerical grades impair, rather than encourage, student learning. SOLUTION STRATEGY: For two graduate courses, ungrading approaches were implemented in an attempt to reduce grade anxiety and enhance student learning. Feedback was provided on student work, but numerical scores were eliminated or reduced. In one course (completed), no numerical grades were provided for any of the student work and students selected and justified their earned grade at the end of the semester. In another course (in progress), in order to address necessary data collection for competency attainment for secondary accreditation, summative assignments were ungraded and a single formative final exam was graded. Grades for the course were based on completion of summative assignments along with the score for the final exam. CONTEXT/EVIDENCE:A driving factor in the implementation of ungrading was empirical evidence that supports that students do not remember qualitative feedback when presented with numerical scores. From anecdotal evidence, student interactions often primarily center on numerical scores rather than substantive content. For example, students often ask why did I miss these points, rather than asking what I am missing to understand this material. The former puts teachers on the defensive to justify a score and focus on the negative what was wrong, where the latter can open up a dialogue about the material. A major objective was to shift the student focus to learning the material and encourage risk-tasking and utilizing individual strengths in learning. FORMAT: The session will provide a summary of research on student engagement and learning related to numerical grades and an overview of ungrading approaches described in pedagogical literature. The presenter will provide an overview of the two approaches taken and the rationale for each approach, given the different courses. In the completed course, based on the pre- and post-course assessment, students gained “a little more” to “a lot more” confidence in all of the areas that the course is designed to address. Additional data and feedback from the course in progress will be provided and contrasted. As part of the session, participants will be provided with a reflection worksheet and have small group discussion. TAKE AWAYS/ADAPTATION: Participants will able to assess whether their course/s might be appropriate to ungrading approaches and what resources they need to implement. Participants will also receive a list of ungrading approaches and associated research.

description: A new direction has emerged in molecular simulations in recent years, where potential energy surfaces (PES) are constructed using machine learning (ML) methods. These ML models, combining the accuracy of quantum mechanical models and the efficiency of empirical atomic potential models, have been demonstrated by many studies to have extensive application prospects. This chapter introduces a recently developed ML model, Deep Potential (DP), and the corresponding package, DeePMD-kit. First, we present the basic theory of the DP method. Then, we show how to train and test a DP model for a gas-phase methane molecule using the DeePMD-kit package. Next, we introduce some recent progress on simulations of biomolecular processes by integrating the DeePMD-kit with the AMBER molecular simulation software suite. Finally, we provide a supplement on points that require further explanation.

description: The behaviors of deep neural networks (DNNs) are notoriously resistant to human interpretations. In this paper, we propose Hypergradient Data Relevance Analysis, or HYDRA, which interprets the predictions made by DNNs as effects of their training data. Existing approaches generally estimate data contributions around the final model parameters and ignore how the training data shape the optimization trajectory. By unrolling the hypergradient of test loss w.r.t. the weights of training data, HYDRA assesses the contribution of training data toward test data points throughout the training trajectory. In order to accelerate computation, we remove the Hessian from the calculation and prove that, under moderate conditions, the approximation error is bounded. Corroborating this theoretical claim, empirical results indicate the error is indeed small. In addition, we quantitatively demonstrate that HYDRA outperforms influence functions in accurately estimating data contribution and detecting noisy data labels.

description: Knowledge Work (KW) lacks a structured approach to identifying and reducing Waste, as Lean methodologies have traditionally been applied in manufacturing and service sectors. Existing studies on Lean in KW rely on context-specific adaptations, limiting their generalizability. This research aims to develop a holistic and universally applicable Waste framework for KW, incorporating a Variation-based perspective to address root causes of inefficiencies. Following the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, this study integrates Lean Lenses and Principles, Knowledge Management (KM), and Organizational Learning (OL), as well as Problem-Solving to define three major Waste categories: Team Dysfunctions, Poor Knowledge Management Practices, and Poor Work Methodologies. The framework was operationalized into an assessment tool, supported by defined Dimensions, Indicators, and a qualitative workshop format.The artifact was evaluated through structured workshops with team leaders, facilitated in a one-on-one setting using the collaboration tool MIRO. Results confirm that the framework effectively identifies the intended Wastes. Participants found the format clear, relevant, and useful, with Likert Scale ratings averaging 4.33 across all evaluated aspects. Not only team specifics and characteristics were detected, but also structural issues could be identified. Thereby, the results highlight issues on department, business unit, as well as on site level, bringing deep insights to the overall organization and related improvement possibilities.This research contributes to Lean Thinking in KW by introducing a generalizable Waste framework and Lean KW Practices, thereby, offering a structured assessment method for continuous improvement. Future work should further formalize Lean KW Principles and Practices, expand the Work Methodology dimension, and refine more independent assessment metrics.

SPONSOR WORKSHOP: Blackboard presents... Scaffolding Implementation of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning for First-Generation Students (90 mins)
Creators: name: Andion, EdD
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: First-generation students struggle to succeed in college. Research shows that this group of students face a variety of challenges that contribute to their college attrition.Yet, research also shows that this group of students could benefit from scaffolding strategies rooted in social learning and constructivist learning theories. Educational technology tools that are available for faculty to use in their face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses. These can serve as a vehicle to bolster the success of first-generation students by implementing practices that use the technology to support student learning while employing scaffolding practices. Faculty can expect to receive specific examples of how to implement scaffolding strategies for different educational technology tools that address managing group work, giving students opportunities to practice and process new concepts, incorporating reflective exercises, leveraging constructivist learning practices in dynamic virtual spaces, and accommodating diverse student needs from an inclusive and accessible perspective. With a focus on practices rooted in equity this workshop will highlight practices that encourage first-generation students to succeed academically. Faculty will find ideas and suggestions for giving students opportunities to construct knowledge together, practice new concepts, process new information and demonstrate mastery. The goal of this workshop will be for participants to consider ways to scaffold student's learning -using educational technology- to encourage students to become independent, self-regulating learners, and problem solvers.

description: The number of students who take online courses continues to grow at Mason and nationally. Research indicates that student-to-student interaction has a positive impact on performance, engagement and learning satisfaction in online courses. Peer interactions allow students to feel like they are part of a learning community and give them the opportunity to develop important career-readiness skills such as collaboration and communication. However, it can be a challenge to create and assess meaningful peer interactions in fully online, asynchronous courses. In this workshop, instructors who have developed courses for the Online BS in Psychology will share their experiences in designing and implementing assignments that involve extensive peer interaction and/or feedback. The session attendees will first engage in a discussion of possible avenues for peer interaction, using different types of courses (lectures, labs, and seminars) as “case studies”. Presenters will then share their experiences incorporating peer interactions into their own courses. Assignment design, tools/technology, frequency of interaction, and assessment are among the topics that will be discussed. Finally, attendees will work in small groups to come up with plans for introducing or refining peer interaction and/or review in their own online, hybrid or even face-to-face courses. The presenters and session attendees will work together to create “one-pagers” for the various peer interaction strategies that can be shared and used for reference after the session.
