Abstract:
This article provides information on a team-building activity in which student teams make salsa. I usually use this exercise on the day that I form teams to provide an opportunity for teams to work on something that is not graded prior to completing the graded team assignment. The activity is built on several theories, such as social learning, experiential learning, and constructivist theory. The goal of the activity is to allow team members to get acquainted with each other and quickly go through the team development process. It is a springboard for discussing many aspects of teams, such as tacit knowledge, decision making, creativity, and resource allocation. It has primarily been used in an undergraduate leadership course but may be applicable to other courses.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic required the rapid conversion of medical school curricula to virtual instruction. Prior to the crisis, histopathology teaching laboratories at UT Health San Antonio included completion of an Individual Laboratory Quiz before the laboratory session, a Team Application Exercise released and completed during the laboratory session with guidance from faculty, and a graded Team Laboratory Quiz at the end of the laboratory session. Adaptation of this interactive, in-person activity to a fully online platform included releasing the Team Application Exercise earlier to provide ample time for students to work virtually with their teams, conducting laboratory sessions using Microsoft Teams, with 5 to 6 teams led by a single instructor, and requiring the Team Laboratory Quiz to be taken individually for ensuring quiz security and test integrity. For incentivizing collaboration while completing the Team Application Exercise, the final score was either the student’s individual score on the Team Laboratory Quiz or their team’s average, whichever was higher. Comparison of student scores on the modified Team Laboratory Quiz to Team Laboratory Quiz scores using the earlier laboratory format prior to COVID-19 showed a significant decline; however, scores on other weekly quizzes or examinations were unaffected. Students welcomed the early release of Team Application Exercise and easier access to faculty but indicated that the modified Team Laboratory Quiz decreased peer-teaching and learning experience and increased anxiety. Faculty indicated the loss of personal interaction with students as a major theme. These data suggest that novel pedagogical approaches are required for online histopathology instruction to accommodate differences in learning styles while maintaining the benefits of team collaboration.

Abstract:
Background and Aims: Crew resource management–based operating room team training will be an evident part of future surgical training. Hybrid simulation in the operating room enables the opportunity for trainees to perform higher fidelity training of technical and non-technical skills in a realistic context. We focus on situational motivation and self-efficacy, two important factors for optimal learning in light of a prototype course for teams of residents in surgery and anesthesiology and nurses. Material and Methods: Authentic operating room teams consisting of residents in anesthesia (n = 2), anesthesia nurses (n = 3), residents in surgery (n = 2), and scrub nurses (n = 6) were, during a one-day course, exposed to four different scenarios. Their situational motivation was self-assessed (ranging from 1 = does not correspond at all to 7 = corresponds exactly) immediately after training, and their self-efficacy (graded from 1 to 7) before and after training. Training was performed in a mock-up operating theater equipped with a hybrid patient simulator (SimMan 3G; Laerdal) and a laparoscopic simulator (Lap Mentor Express; Simbionix). The functionality of the systematic hybrid procedure simulation scenario was evaluated by an exit questionnaire (graded from 1 = disagree entirely to 5 = agree completely). Results and Conclusions: The trainees were mostly intrinsically motivated, engaged for their own sake, and had a rather great degree of self-determination toward the training situation. Self-efficacy among the team members improved significantly from 4 to 6 (median). Overall evaluation showed very good result with a median grading of 5. We conclude that hybrid simulation is feasible and has the possibility to train an authentic operating team in order to improve individual motivation and confidence.

Abstract:
We compared CT with chest radiography (CR) in the assessment of low grade coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP) in a population of 83 subjects. All subjects had a high-voltage p.a. CR, graded according to the ILO classification between 0/0 and 1/1, a conventional CT (CCT) using contiguous 1-cm-thick sections on the entire thorax and a set of 10 high-resolution CT (HRCT) images. CR and CT were separately read by consensus by 2 teams of 2 trained readers. CR were coded 0/0 in 9 subjects; 0/1 in 31; 1/0 in 28; 1/1 in 15. Among these groups of patients, micronodules were detected by CT in respectively 2 (22%), 14 (45%), 17 (61%) and 10 (67%) patients. In all groups, micronodules were more often detected by CT when the opacities detected on CR were scored as rounded (p, q) than irregular (s, t). Among the patients graded 0/0 or 0/1, CT showed micronodules in 40%. By contrast, among the patients graded 1/0 or 1/1, CT did not show micronodules in 37%, but revealed in numerous patients that opacities detected on CR were related to bronchiectasis and/or emphysema only. Comparative analysis of HRCT and CCT showed that both techniques are complementary and proved the usefulness of CCT in the detection or confirmation of low profusion of micronodules.

Abstract:
Employers of undergraduates tell us there is a need to turn out students with greater communication and teamwork skills in addition to good horticultural and business training. Field trips are an important tool to expose students to the real world of horticulture. The course “Nursery Crop Production” has adopted a class project that enhances these skills and experiences. Teams of three students each are assigned a production nursery to visit and to bring back documentation to the class in the form of an edited video tape and a written report containing pictures. Their report is presented in class and each student receives a composite video tape and written report of all team efforts. Quality of the reports has been remarkable. Each part of the project (video, written report, and class presentation) is graded independently, with all team members receiving the same final grade. The department has purchased video cameras and editing equipment, which are essential to the success of this educational experience. Student evaluations indicate enthusiasm for this approach and the role of video in the class. Copies of finished projects are returned to each nursery for their information. A collection of these projects is being assembled to provide the Nursery and Landscape Crops Extension Specialist with additional information about the production nursery industry.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The term ‘tandem spinal stenosis’ (TSS) was first introduced by Dagi et al to describe concurrent symptomatic cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis. A typical clinical picture includes intermittent neurogenic claudication, myelopathy, and polyradiculopathy in both the upper and lower extremities. The incidence of TSS ranges from 0.12 to 28%. Methods We studied patients who presented with tandem canal stenosis and operated cervicolumbar decompression with or without fusion procedures by two separate neurosurgical teams simultaneously from June 2015 to 2017 with follow-up period of minimum 6 months. Results We had 30 (66.66%) male and 15 (33.33%) female patients who underwent simultaneous cervical and lumbar spine surgeries. The average age was 57.8 years (male) and 53.9 years (female). Cervical canal stenosis was graded as per magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) morphological grades of stenosis by Kang et al and lumbar grading, was done as per Schizas et al grading system. The mean duration of complaints in cervical and lumbar compression was 29.54 ± 44.99 months and 30.55 ± 38.11 months, respectively. The mean preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score of was 10.46 ± 1.39, whereas the postoperative mean JOA score was 11.93 ± 1.28, and mean preoperative (38.59 ± 16.52) and postoperative (29.22 ± 9.38) Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0001). Conclusion Patients with TSS are elderly and have associated comorbidities, still simultaneous cervical and lumbar surgery is feasible with the good outcome if you have two neurosurgical teams operating simultaneously and having good other super specialty teams’ support. It can be timesaving and cost effective for patients. Also, it avoids patients from undergoing exposure to two separate surgical and anesthetic stress.

Abstract:
The writing ability of Moroccan students is generally characterized by low language fluency. This article examines the impact of the implementation of graded readers as a syllabus intervention alternative rather than the textbook-based approach regarding teaching writing skill. The research design for this study is a mixed method. The qualitative method was twofold, in-class and online. The first tool was conducted via a series of observations and structured discussions with students. Likewise, the second tool was conducted through online forum interactions between the students one another and students with their instructor so as to measure their perceptions on the use of graded readers as a new method of dealing with the writing skill in preparation for the formative assessment quiz. Microsoft Teams platform, commissioned by the Ministry of Education, was used as a complementary medium to enhance in-class discussions where students are required to answer some open-ended questions. On the other hand, the quantitative method was used to measure the students’ outcomes by using the Rubric Calculator Software issued by Smekenseducation.com. The findings of this study demonstrate that the use of graded readers to improve the writing fluency was encouraging according to the positive results obtained from the analyzed data regardless of the time restrictions. The paper is concluded with several recommendations for more research in the field of study and the requirements needed for the best implementation of this creative method to boost the learners’ writing fluency.

Abstract:
<p>Team projects can optimize educational resources in a laboratory, but also create the potential for social loafing. Allowing students to choose their own groups could increase their motivation to learn and improve academic performance. To test this hypothesis, final grades and feedback from students were compared for the same course in two different years, one with and one without fixed group arrangements. Seniors of the United States Military Academy at West Point were divided into groups of three or four to complete chemical engineering lab projects during the fall semesters of 2014 and 2015. In the first year, 21 cadets remained in instructor-assigned teams for the duration of the course. The next year, 23 cadets were initially assigned groups, but then allowed to choose their own teammates for the second half of the semester. There was no significant difference in graded performance between the two years, although cadet feedback was interesting. When cadets had the option of choosing groups, 65% of survey respondents strongly agreed that their peers had contributed to their learning, versus 40% when groups were not allowed to change. When asked if their motivation to learn or their critical thinking ability had increased, fewer respondents in the second year strongly agreed with either statement. While these results are not conclusive, a wider implementation of team-focused learning currently underway at West Point will offer a robust dataset and insights on how to get group work to work well in science and engineering education.</p>

Abstract:
Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: The Takakura staging system has been used for the stratification in ankle osteoarthritis(OA). Patient’s OA stage is determined by visual examination on the status of talar and distal tibia in anteroposterior ankle radiograph. Clinical decisions about whether to treat conservatively or to treat with operation such as supra-malleolar osteotomy or arthroplasty may depend on this grading system. However, this is not completely reproducible between examiners and it makes a debating situation about different treatment method to a same ankle radiograph. If highly reproducible measurement method may be suggested this debating may no longer need. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to suggest a deep learning-based algorithm that automatically grades ankle osteoarthritis and to present feasibility of the provided automatic grading system. Methods: 2529 AP both-ankle radiographs were collected and graded for OA by a radiologist and orthopedic surgeon. We converted Takakura staging system into 3 grades(Grade1: stageI, Grade2: II-IIIa, Grade3: IIIb-IV) according to treatment plan. To confine the region of interest(ROI), a rectangle encompassing ankle portion was automatically generated using an object detection model(YOLOv2). The data oversampling was done to overcome small data and class imbalance. Four pre-trained convolutional networks(One Inception-v3 and three ResNet models) were fine-tuned using augmented data. We tried two different ensemble methods: voting ensemble and gradient boosting. Voting ensemble adjusts the decision through selecting majority votes among trained models. Gradient boosting(XGboost model) trains new classification model to focus on the cases that previous model mis- classified. The evaluation of trained models and ensemble model were performed in terms of average classification accuracy. Gradient-class activation map(CAM) method was utilized to present CAM highlighting the location where highly affected the network for the decision. Results: A total of 3836 original ROIs were obtained and as follows: grade 1, 1382; grade 2, 1927; grade 3, 527. The number of oversampled ROIs was 16398 like follows: grade 1, 5528; grade 2, 7708; grade 3, 3162. The performance of each classifier was ranged 71.0% ˜ 77.3% in terms of average classification accuracy. Ensemble methods yielded average classification accuracies of 78.1% and 79.2% for voting ensemble and XGboost, respectively. Conclusion: Deep learning-based algorithm application for automatic grading of ankle osteoarthritis based on Takakura staging system is feasible. This approach is expected to be applied to various staging system for arthritis assessment through radiographs.

Abstract:
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to quantify elevated in-season presentation of concussion-like symptoms in the absence of diagnosed concussion in a cohort of collegiate rugby players.BackgroundIt is well known that many sports-related concussions are unreported. Athletes that do not immediately report concussion symptoms and continue to participate in activities are at higher risk for longer recoveries and sustain post-concussion symptoms longer. How regularly athletes experience elevated concussion symptoms in-season is unknown.Design/MethodsAthletes from men's and women's rugby teams were recruited and consented in accordance with the Virginia Tech Institutional Review Board. 63 males and 78 females participated over three seasons. Subjects completed a symptom and exposure query (SEQ) weekly throughout their season. The SEQ asked subjects if, in the past week, they experienced the 27 symptoms from the Graded Symptom Checklist for concussion. Subjects graded each symptom on a scale of 0–6, with 0 being no presentation and 6 being the most severe presentation. The graded severities of each symptom were summed to compute the overall Symptom Severity Score (SSS). Surveys that indicated confounding circumstances leading to symptoms were removed from analysis. The 99th percentile of SSS from baseline data was used as a metric of “elevated SSS,” which corresponded to an SSS of 11.Results1,214 SEQs were collected. There were 77 surveys from 43 athletes, 10 (15.8%) men and 33 (42.3%) women, who reported elevated SSS. In a given season, 16.3% of males and 41.7% of females reported elevated symptoms at least once. The surveys identified 11 additional suspected concussions based on symptom scores beyond the 8 that were clinically diagnosed.ConclusionsThis provides some evidence that constellations of concussion symptoms are commonly experienced by collegiate rugby athletes in-season. Some are at severities typically associated with concussion, but most are below current clinical concussion diagnostic thresholds.

This research was undertaken due to the increase of Afrikaans L1 learners in an English medium class and the problems these learners face. This study reports on An Observation Survey of Early Learning Achievement (Clay, 2002) in order to assess the emergent literacy of grade two learners in terms of specific literacy skills in English. This survey aimed to assist the educator in determining the progress and processing behaviours made by Afrikaans L1 learners in terms of literacy content in an English medium class. The Observation Survey was conducted thrice over a three month period. It was aimed at determining what processing skills and strategies the learners use and if traditional teaching combined with Outcomes Based Education (OBE) enabled learners to acquire strategies for learning. Simultaneously it was determined if code switching, code mixing and mother tongue (Afrikaans) use facilitated learning. The data indicated the language problems, preference and proficiency of the learners. This research necessitated the use of both quantitative and qualitative data. Using a case study design, a qualitative tool with quantitative elements was used to collect data. Further data was collected at parent meetings with the learners in the study as well as from written correspondence from parents. This data gave insight to the learner’s ethnographic background and the language proficiency of the parents. The findings of this study indicate the need for ongoing support and in-service training for educators in the ever changing curriculum. In conclusion it was determined that various factors contribute to the literacy development of learners. In order for them to stay abreast with the curriculum further research and support is imperative for educators.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo central compreender um sentido identitário de nação construído pela Minissérie Grande Sertão: Veredas por meio de gêneros e temas. O referencial teórico e procedimentos adotados possibilitaram compreender a articulação entre gêneros literários, gêneros do discurso, gêneros televisuais e acabamento temático numa perspectiva de construção histórica de um sentido de nação socialmente determinado. Essa abordagem abriu-nos caminho para discutir questões referentes aos diversos enfoques teóricos sobre a problemática dos gêneros no campo da Comunicação. Analisamos os discursos dos principais artífices da minissérie, os discursos da imprensa sobre a minissérie e os elementos constitutivos da minissérie com base em uma perspectiva dialógica em que a dimensão de significação das relações humanas é permeada pela ideologia do enunciado. O estudo da minissérie Grande Sertão: Veredas revelou que a escolha temática e o tratamento estético estão sujeitos às injunções sociais, que, em certa medida, privilegiam a abordagem de um ou de outro tema. Como resultado dessas discussões, identificamos características do gênero minissérie permeadas por um acabamento temático até certo ponto inovador demonstrado pelo tratamento estético diferenciado de alguns elementos narrativos, como por exemplo: personagens, sonorização, ambiente. Enfim, o acabamento temático e o tratamento estético se articulam harmoniosamente e se concretizam num produto artístico no qual é possível discernir o gênero como articulador de um modelo de interpretação e de visão do mundo.
The central target of this work is to comprehend a sense of nation identity built by the television miniseries Grande Sertão: Veredas through gender and theme. The theoretical referential and procedures adopted allow to understand the articulation between literary genders, discourse genders, televisual genders and thematic finishing in a perspective of historical construction of socially determined sense of nation. This approach has opened to us a path to discuss questions referring to several theoretical focus about the question of genders in Communication. The miniseries main personages discourses, the press discourses about the miniseries and the miniseries constitutive elements were analyzed based in a dialogical perspective where a signification dimension of human relations is permeated by the enunciation ideology. The study of the miniseries Grande Sertão: Veredas revealed that the thematic choice and the aesthetic treatment are subject to social injunctions which, in certain measure, privilege the approach of one or other themes. As result of these discussions, characteristics of the miniseries gender were observed permeated by a thematic finishing untill certain point innovative. This was demonstrated by the aesthetic finishing differentiated from some narrative elements, for instance: personages, sonorousness and ambient. In short, the thematic finishing articulates itself harmoniously and turn into an a artistic product in which is possible to discern the gender as the articulator of a paradigm of interpretation and a world vision.

Abstract:

With changing academic standards, more rigorous state assessments, growing diversity among student populations, decreased school funding, and high achievement expectations from the state and federal government, teachers have a very challenging and demanding job. Fully aware of these high expectations from the education community, school leaders and teachers continue to explore strategies that will improve the quality of classroom instruction and help increase achievement for all students.

This study was conducted in a large urban K-12 school district in the southwestern United States with a district enrollment of approximately 63,000 students. The study employed a multi-method, correlational, descriptive, non-experimental research design. Quantitative data were collected through teacher completion of a professional learning community (PLC) questionnaire and the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) math assessment. The Professional Learning Communities Assessment-Revised (PLCA-R) questionnaire enabled teachers to report the extent to which they engage in practices known to support the development of a well-functioning PLC. In addition, qualitative data were collected through individual teacher interviews.

This study determined the correlation between grade-level team overall implementation of PLCs measured by teacher completion of the PLCA-R questionnaire and student achievement of fourth-grade students measured by the AIMS math assessment. The study also determined the correlation between the individual dimensions of PLC implementation by grade-level teams measured by teacher completion of the PLCA-R questionnaire and student achievement of fourth-grade students measured by the AIMS math assessment. The individual dimensions of PLCs included shared and supportive leadership, shared values and vision, collective learning and application, shared personal practice, supportive conditions-relationships, and supportive conditions-structures.

A Pearson product-moment analysis found no significant correlation between grade-level team implementation of PLCs, overall or by dimension, and fourth-grade student achievement measured by AIMS math percent passing scores and median growth percentiles. Although no significant correlation was found, qualitative data from the in-depth individual teacher interviews resulted in several themes related to PLCs and student achievement. Teachers spoke passionately about knowledge of student performance, quality of instruction, support for collaboration, and shared leadership and how those factors relate to improved teaching and increased student learning.

The results of this study may help other leaders and educators understand more completely the relationship between the dimensions of PLCs and student achievement. Furthermore, the study provides implications for practice that may enhance teacher collaboration with a focus on improved instructional practices and high levels of learning for all students.

Abstract:
Entre 1952 et 1956, l'Independent Group (IG) a réuni à L'Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) de Londres, des figures majeures de l'architecture, parmi lesquelles Alison et Peter Smithson et Colin St John Wilson, de l'art, celles de Richard Hamilton, Eduardo Paolozzi, Nigel Henderson et William Turnbull, de l'histoire et de la critique de l'art et de l'architecture, celles de Reyner Banham et Lawrence Alloway. La composition changeante et controversée du groupe, aussi bien que l'absence d'une publication, d'un manifeste fondateur ou d'un programme commun, ont imposé d'éclaircir en quelle mesure l'IG a été véritablement un groupe et quelle importance a eu le choix du nom "Indépendant". Le titre "Du pastiche à l'original" indique une méthode d'analyse par laquelle l'histoire du groupe est examinée à rebours, en partant des traces historiques. Entre 2002 et 2005, des entretiens et des correspondances ont permis de préciser le sens donné par certains ex-membres du groupe aux notions opératoires du pop art : le collage, le pastiche, l'original multiple, la répétition, etc. . . à travers lesquelles, paradoxalement, a été amenée la problématique de l'original au centre de la recherche
Between 1952 and 1956, the Independent Group gathered at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London, the leading figures of architecture such as Alison and Peter Smithson, Colin St John Wilson, of art, such as Richard Hamilton, Eduardo Paolozzi, William Turnbull, Nigel Henderson, or of history and criticism of art and architecture, such as Reyner Banham, Lawrence Alloway. The shifting and uncertain composition of the group and the absence of any joint publication, manifesto or programme, brings up the question of the IG as a genuine group, as well as the importance of the choice of the name Independent. The title From pastiche to Masterpiece indicates a method where the history of the group is examined through flash-backs, constructed from the available historical traces. Between 2002 and 2005, interviews and correspondence helped to clarify the meaning given by certain ex-members of the IG to the key notions of Pop art, such as collage, pastiche, "multiples", repetition, that made the question of the Original central to the research

Abstract:
A sample of 817 Grade 4-5 mathematics students in the diverse school district of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS), Florida, USA was involved in an evaluation of the use of hands-on activities in terms of students' achievement, students' attitudes and students' perceptions of the mathematics classroom environment. Other aims included validating generally-applicable measures of classroom learning environments and students' attitudes to mathematics, and investigating associations between the classroom learning environment and the student outcomes of performance and attitudes. The study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 had a sample of 442 participants and classroom environment was assessed with scales selected from the My Class Inventory, Questionnaire on Teacher lnteraction and Science Laboratory Environment Inventory. Factor analysis provided a degree of support for the factorial validity and internal consistency reliability (using Cronbach's alpha coefficient) for each of five classroom environment scales. Because of the small number of items per scale (15 items in five scales for the My Class Inventory, 12 items in four scales for the Question on Teacher Interaction and 15 items in five scales for the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory) in Phase I, it was not possible to replicate the a priori factor structure of each instrument scale. Scale reliabilities generally were acceptable. Phase 2, involving a sample of 375 Grades 4 and 5 students in four elementary schools, was necessary because questionnaires in Phase 1 had too few items to enable the researcher to establish satisfactory levels of reliability and validity.
The What Is Happening In this Class? (WIHIC) was modified to four scales and 29 questions for use in Phase 2. Factor analysis supported the structure of the WIHIC and internal consistency reliability was satisfactory for two units of analyses, namely, the individual and the class mean. In Phase 1 of the study, differences between an experimental group (that used manipulatives for 60% of the time) and a control group (that used manipulatives for less than 40% of the time), were described in terms of the effect size (magnitude of the difference in standard deviations) and statistical significance for each learning environment, attitude, and achievement scale. Differences between the pretest and posttest for the set of six dependent variables (Student Cohesiveness, Teacher Support, Task Orientation, Cooperation from the WIHIC and Adoption of Mathematical Attitudes and Enjoyment of Mathematics Lessons for the TOMRA) were analyzed in Phase 2 using a MANOVA for repeated measures. Effect sizes were used to describe the magnitude, as distinct from the statistical significance, of prepost changes. In Phase 2, associations between student attitudes and their perceptions of the learning environment were relatively weak for both pretest and posttest data with either the individual or the class mean as the as the unit of analysis. These results were unexpected and are inconsistent with past research, therefore highlighting the need for further research.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2012
This study explores leadership in schools and its impact in grade twelve results productive school culture, and focuses on school leadership at selected schools in the Sekgosese West Circuit at Capricorn District in the Limpopo Province. Leadership plays a vital role in the functioning of any organisation, be it in business or in education, and the concept of leadership has become more prominent over the last decade. In order to develop a better understanding of leadership, a literature review is conducted. This review highlights the differences between leadership and management, and explores different leadership styles. This study finds that leadership challenges pose a serious threat to the attainment of good results in grade twelve (12) in Sekgosese West Circuit. These challenges emanate from a variety of factors such as lack of discipline, dysfunctional School Management Team, Involvement of parents, culture of teaching and learning, curriculum and possible solutions to leadership. Further, administering schools in a democratic fashion still pose tremendous challenges to the school leadership as a whole. It seems as if some schools which are part of this investigation still struggle to adjust to a democratic dispensation. This research therefore concludes that school leaders need to ensure that they are both good managers and effective leaders. They must also ensure that the culture at their schools is conducive for teaching and learning.

Abstract:
AbstractGraded type theories are an emerging paradigm for augmenting the reasoning power of types with parameterizable, fine-grained analyses of program properties. There have been many such theories in recent years which equip a type theory with quantitative dataflow tracking, usually via a semiring-like structure which provides analysis on variables (often called ‘quantitative’ or ‘coeffect’ theories). We present Graded Modal Dependent Type Theory (Grtt for short), which equips a dependent type theory with a general, parameterizable analysis of the flow of data, both in and between computational terms and types. In this theory, it is possible to study, restrict, and reason about data use in programs and types, enabling, for example, parametric quantifiers and linearity to be captured in a dependent setting. We propose Grtt, study its metatheory, and explore various case studies of its use in reasoning about programs and studying other type theories. We have implemented the theory and highlight the interesting details, including showing an application of grading to optimising the type checking procedure itself.

Abstract:
A new senior level interdisciplinary lab experience has been developed at Western New England College which focuses on the use of biodiesel in an interdisciplinary engineering design and sustainability team project. A biodiesel generation system has been developed as part of two senior capstone design projects, and the system is capable of converting all of the waste vegetable oil (WVO) generated by the college food services department into biodiesel for use in diesel powered utility equipment on campus, and to heat the mechanical engineering laboratories. This fuel is also used to power vehicles designed as part of the senior level interdisciplinary lab experience which previously involved the development of a solar powered vehicle. Teams comprised of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering students are required to design and fabricate biodiesel powered vehicles designed to transport a payload across a race track in the shortest time possible using the biodiesel generated by each student team from waste cooking oil found on campus. Students gain hands on experience in the conversion of waste cooking oil into fuel and learn that the quality of the fuel generated plays an important role on vehicle performance. Students are given tight budgetary constrains to encourage the use of recycled materials and used parts found in the engineering labs. A mathematical energy model is developed to predict vehicle performance and an onboard data acquisition system is developed to measure performance parameters such as vehicle speed, engine rpm, and wind speed for comparison to the predictive energy model. Students are graded on vehicle performance on race day, the total cost of the vehicle and the vehicle weight. The experience gives students valuable insights into the interdisciplinary team dynamic and the importance of engineering for sustainability.

Abstract:
Abstract A new modified 9 wt% Cr steel has been developed in order to improve the resistance against coke deposition on the internal surface of refinery tube furnaces, in comparison to widely used grades, such as Grade 5 (5 wt% Cr) or Grade 9 (9 wt% Cr). The new grade has an improved composition, based on Cr and Si and further additions of Cu and Ni. This optimal chemical analysis has been specified after extensive laboratory testing on different laboratory and industrial heats. Thermogravimetric analyses have been performed to benchmark various materials (ferritic and austenitic grades) in terms of coking rate. Specimens of these alloys have been exposed to this coking atmosphere in a wide temperature range. The new modified 9Cr steel exhibits an almost 10 times lower coking rates than typical Grade 9 steel. The new 9Cr steel shows allowable stress levels up to 90% higher than Grade 9 at temperatures below 500°C (time independent regime) and up to 7% higher stress levels at temperatures above 500°C (creep regime). The industrial feasibility of production of elbows has been successfully implemented and a welding solution using a commercially available filler material has been established.

In ASME 2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/sbc2012-80378.

Full text
Abstract:
Ankle sprain is a common occurrence in sports, accounting for 10–30% of injuries [1]. While approximately 85% of ankle sprains are lateral ankle injuries, syndesmotic (high) and medial injuries typically result in more time off the field. In order to help limit or mitigate ankle injuries, it is important to understand the mechanisms of injury. While numerous biomechanical studies have been conducted to investigate ankle injuries, most of them are designed to study ankle fractures rather than sprains. Ankle sprains have been graded in the clinical literature and associated with the degree of damage to a ligament resulting from excessive strains [2]. Recently, there have been studies of lateral ankle sprain in laboratory settings [3,4] and based on investigation of game films [5], providing considerable insight into the mechanism of lateral ankle sprain. On the other hand, few biomechanical studies have been conducted on high and medial ankle sprains. A more recent study from our laboratory used human cadaver limbs to investigate such injuries [6]. The study showed that the type of ankle injury, whether medial or high, under excessive levels of external foot rotation depends on the extent of foot eversion [6]. Everted limbs showed isolated anterior tibiofibular ligament injuries (high ankle sprain) only, while neutral limbs mostly demonstrated deltoid ligament failures (medial ankle sprain). Additionally, the study documented grade II (partial tears) and grade III (ruptures) ligament injuries. While a computational ankle model has also been developed and validated to help understand the mechanisms of injury [7], it is a generic model. The objective of the current study was to develop computational, subject-specific models from those cadaver limbs and determine the levels of ligament strain generated in the medial and high ankle injury cases, as well as correlate the grades of injury with ligament strains from the computational model.

ASMEDC, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/pvp2011-57092.

Full text
Abstract:
The efficiency of petrochemical reactors is intimately related to process parameters, i.e. service temperatures and pressures. Low alloyed ferritic materials, such as 2 1/4 Cr1Mo(V) and 3Cr1Mo(V) steel grades, are widely used for many years to build heavy wall reactors. This is mainly due to their good mechanical properties at high temperatures under high hydrogen partial pressures and good resistance to High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA). Depending on the grades, the ASME Code gives limitations in terms of maximum temperature that can limit the use of these low alloy grades. Moreover, above a given temperature, maximum allowable stresses are driven by the creep behaviour, leading to a strong lowering of the assumed resistance and hence to extra-thickness and weight. Many developments were done concurrently to increase the efficiency of petrochemical processes. In particular, this can lead to increase service temperatures and therefore actual pressure vessel wall temperatures. Indeed, more and more temperatures around 500°C are likely to be used, leading to reduced choice in terms of permitted steel grades. The low alloy vanadium-enhanced grades are not allowed (except using specific code case) whereas the usual grades have reduced creep allowable stresses. With a view to allowing strong improvements in admissible process parameters, a vanadium-modified 9Cr1Mo creep strength enhanced material with advanced hydrogen resistance and improved toughness was developed. Very thick plates (up to 200mm thick) were produced and tested. This contribution reports both mechanical and metallurgical assessments performed on these heavy plates. Evaluations of hydrogen resistance (HTHA) as well as creep resistance under high hydrogen pressure are also reported. The V-modified 9Cr1Mo grade exhibits an excellent behaviour in hydrogen rich environment, showing therefore some advantages in terms of service conditions. The manufacturing of heavy plates has made significant progress in the recent years, allowing thick products to be manufactured with good homogeneity and mechanical behaviour. Taking into account the maximum use temperature as well as the allowable stresses as described in the ASME BPV Code section VIII division 2, the V-modified 9Cr1Mo grade will clearly be of great interest to companies wishing to enhance the efficiency of their refining/petrochemical processes. The question of welding must also be addressed more specifically to finish validating the 9Cr1MoV option.

Abstract:
Understanding how different variables affect student performance is an important requirement for improving educational practices. Since humans are highly social beings, social factors should play a significant role in the academic context. This paper analyzes the impact on academic performance of social indicators such as students friendship circle and in-class clustering. The analysis is based on data from six different classes of the topic Databases taken by students of computing-related majors. We assessed students’ friendship circle in terms of density (sociability) and also quality (grades) of their friends. The paper shows results with strong, statistically relevant relationships between the social factors and student performance. Among other results, the analysis indicates that (i) students with higher social capital tend to perform better, and (ii) students with friends with higher grades have better chances of recovering from a low exam grade.

Abstract:
Abstract AISI 8630 steel used in subsea applications is subject to hydrogen embrittlement from externally applied cathodic protection. In this work, susceptibility variation on three grades of 8630 steel of different yield strength (YS), 100 ksi, 110 ksi and 120 ksi, were evaluated in terms of fracture toughness. Two different testing methods, slow rising displacement and incremental step loading testing, were used to generate J-R curves and determine the fracture toughness. The tests were performed at 40°F in air and simulated sea water (3.5 wt.% NaCl) with applied CP of −1050 mV SCE. The normalized fracture toughness values are discussed in this work. In all three grades, regardless of the test methods, the environmental toughness under CP conditions were significantly lower than the in-air values indicating that they are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. Effect of YS on the hydrogen embrittlement was also observed. The incremental step loading technique showed that Jth and the J-R curve slope decreased as the YS increases. The rising displacement method also clearly showed the lowest toughness and the flattest J-R curve slope in the highest strength grade (120ksi) despite showing similar performance between the 100ksi and 110ksi grades. The true stress-true strain analysis showed different strain hardening behavior among the three grades that may suggest the strain hardening plays a role in influencing the hydrogen embrittlement behavior among the grades. Overall, slight variation could be observed in the results from the two test methods which, however, did not appear to be biased against each other in determining lower bounds of the results.

Abstract:
The Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) is used to evaluate studies and monitor projects that address reading skills in low- and middle-income countries. Results are often described solely in terms of a passage-reading subtask, thereby overlooking progress in related skills. Using archival data of cohort samples from Uganda at two time points in three languages (Ganda, Lango, and Runyankore-Rukiga), we explored a methodology that uses passage-reading results to create five learner profiles: Nonreader, Beginner, Instructional, Fluent, and Next-Level Ready. We compared learner profiles with results on other subtasks to identify the skills students would need to develop to progress from one profile to another. We then used regression models to determine whether students’ learner profiles were related to their results on the various subtasks. We found membership in four categories. We also found a shift in the distribution of learner profiles from Grade 1 to Grade 4, which is useful for establishing program effectiveness. The distribution of profiles within grades expanded as students progressed through the early elementary grades. We recommend that those who are discussing EGRA results describe students by profiles and by the numbers that shift from one profile to another over time. Doing so would help describe abilities and instructional needs and would show changes in a meaningful way.

Lippert, David, Marshall Thompson, and Charles Wienrank. Performance of Interstate Rubblization in Illinois. Illinois Center for Transportation, July 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36501/0197-9191/21-005.

Full text
Abstract:
In Illinois, hot-mix asphalt overlaid concrete pavements typically exhibit reflective cracking of joints and cracks from the pavement below, resulting in shortened life and maintenance issues. Over the years, various patching, fabric, and crack and seat techniques were attempted with few positive results. This led to more aggressive techniques to eliminate the slab action of the concrete pavement where the pavement would be broken or rubblized into pieces typically less than 12 inches. Since the first rubblizing project in 1990, policy, procedures, and specifications have evolved to the point that rubblization is the mainstream option in dealing with problematic concrete pavements. This report summarizes the performance of several interstate rubblizing projects in Illinois by analyzing available data in Illinois Department of Transportation’s pavement management system. Condition rating survey data allowed the serviceability of these projects to be evaluated by surface mix types and asphalt performance grades. Traffic in the form of 18,000 lb equivalent single axle loads was determined for the projects to evaluate fatigue and rutting as well as compare section performance to the design procedure. The research team reviewed plans, design procedures, and specifications to determine best practices and identify where improvements might be made. Data showed that the use of stone matrix asphalt surface mixtures and mixes using PGXX-28 asphalt binders provides improved performance. Overall, rubblizing has shown good to excellent performance. To provide additional life with improved performance, recommendations include adopting softer asphalt grades, increasing the use of stone matrix asphalt, and improving procedures for protecting culverts.

Abstract:
Grand Canyon National Park is all about time and timescales. Time is the currency of our daily life, of history, and of biological evolution. Grand Canyon’s beauty has inspired explorers, artists, and poets. Behind it all, Grand Canyon’s geology and sense of timelessness are among its most prominent and important resources. Grand Canyon has an exceptionally complete and well-exposed rock record of Earth’s history. It is an ideal place to gain a sense of geologic (or deep) time. A visit to the South or North rims, a hike into the canyon of any length, or a trip through the 277-mile (446-km) length of Grand Canyon are awe-inspiring experiences for many reasons, and they often motivate us to look deeper to understand how our human timescales of hundreds and thousands of years overlap with Earth’s many timescales reaching back millions and billions of years. This report summarizes how geologists tell time at Grand Canyon, and the resultant “best” numeric ages for the canyon’s strata based on recent scientific research. By best, we mean the most accurate and precise ages available, given the dating techniques used, geologic constraints, the availability of datable material, and the fossil record of Grand Canyon rock units. This paper updates a previously-published compilation of best numeric ages (Mathis and Bowman 2005a; 2005b; 2007) to incorporate recent revisions in the canyon’s stratigraphic nomenclature and additional numeric age determinations published in the scientific literature. From bottom to top, Grand Canyon’s rocks can be ordered into three “sets” (or primary packages), each with an overarching story. The Vishnu Basement Rocks were once tens of miles deep as North America’s crust formed via collisions of volcanic island chains with the pre-existing continent between 1,840 and 1,375 million years ago. The Grand Canyon Supergroup contains evidence for early single-celled life and represents basins that record the assembly and breakup of an early supercontinent between 729 and 1,255 million years ago. The Layered Paleozoic Rocks encode stories, layer by layer, of dramatic geologic changes and the evolution of animal life during the Paleozoic Era (period of ancient life) between 270 and 530 million years ago. In addition to characterizing the ages and geology of the three sets of rocks, we provide numeric ages for all the groups and formations within each set. Nine tables list the best ages along with information on each unit’s tectonic or depositional environment, and specific information explaining why revisions were made to previously published numeric ages. Photographs, line drawings, and diagrams of the different rock formations are included, as well as an extensive glossary of geologic terms to help define important scientific concepts. The three sets of rocks are separated by rock contacts called unconformities formed during long periods of erosion. This report unravels the Great Unconformity, named by John Wesley Powell 150 years ago, and shows that it is made up of several distinct erosion surfaces. The Great Nonconformity is between the Vishnu Basement Rocks and the Grand Canyon Supergroup. The Great Angular Unconformity is between the Grand Canyon Supergroup and the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. Powell’s term, the Great Unconformity, is used for contacts where the Vishnu Basement Rocks are directly overlain by the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. The time missing at these and other unconformities within the sets is also summarized in this paper—a topic that can be as interesting as the time recorded. Our goal is to provide a single up-to-date reference that summarizes the main facets of when the rocks exposed in the canyon’s walls were formed and their geologic history. This authoritative and readable summary of the age of Grand Canyon rocks will hopefully be helpful to National Park Service staff including resource managers and park interpreters at many levels of geologic understandings...

Abstract:
This report presents a case study for constructing aggregate subgrade improvement (ASI) layers using quarry by-product aggregates (QBA), a quarry mix of large primary crushed rocks (PCR) and sand-sized quarry fines. The construction took place at Larry Power Road in Bourbonnais Township in Kankakee County, Illinois, where the Illinois Department of Transportation placed two QBA mixes. The first mix (QBA_M1) consisted of 45% quarry by-products and 55% railroad ballast–sized 3×1 PCR. The second mix (QBA_M2) consisted of 31% and 69% quarry by-products and PCR, respectively. Two conventional ASI sections were also constructed conforming to Illinois Department of Transportation’s CS02 gradation. All sections consisted of a 9 in. (229 mm) QBA/PCR layer topped with a 3 in. (76 mm) dense-graded capping layer. Laboratory studies preceded the construction to recommend optimum quarry by-product content in the QBA materials and construction practice. The Illinois Center for Transportation research team monitored the quality and uniformity of the construction using nondestructive testing techniques such as dynamic cone penetrometer, lightweight deflectometer, and falling weight deflectometer. The segregation potential was monitored by visual inspection and imaging-based techniques. Short-term field evaluation of the constructed QBA layers, particularly QBA_M2 with a 31% quarry by-product content, showed no evidence of abnormal segregation and did not jeopardize the structural integrity of the QBA ASI layers, which had slightly lower but comparable strength and stiffness profiles to the conventional ASI sections. The use of QBA materials in ASI was field validated as a sustainable construction practice to provide stable pavement foundation layers.

Abstract:
In recent years, mission-oriented approaches have received growing interest in science, technology and innovation (STI) policies against the background of two developments. First, while so-called “horizontal” or “generic” approaches to research, technology and innovation policies have largely been successful in improving the general innovation performance or the rate of innovation, there are perceived limitations in terms of insufficiently addressing the direction of technological change and innovation. Second, “grand societal challenges” emerged on policy agendas, such as climate change, security, food and energy supply or ageing populations, which call for thematic orientation and the targeting of research and innovation efforts. In addition, the apparent success of some mission-oriented initiatives in countries like China, South Korea, and the United States in boosting technological development for purposes of strengthening competitiveness contributed to boosting the interest in targeted and directional government interventions in STI. Against the backdrop of this renewed interest in mission-oriented STI policy, the OECD has addressed the growing importance of this topic and launched a project looking into current experiences with Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy (MOIP). The present study on MOIP in Austria was commissioned by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Energy, Mobility, Environment, Innovation and Technologiy (BMK) and comprises the Austrian contributions to this OECD project. The study aims at contributing Austrian experiences to the international debate and to stimulate a national debate on MOIP.

Abstract:
Muchos países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) y del mundo se encuentran actualmente desarrollando ambiciosos planes para la reactivación económica y la generación de empleo en el período pospandemia. Estos planes representan una oportunidad única para la inclusión de medidas que, al mismo tiempo que reactivan la economía, también apoyan la transición energética de los países de la región. Esta nota técnica busca apoyar a los países de la región en el diseño de planes de recuperación sostenibles, presentando consideraciones que deben ser tomadas en cuenta para el diseño e implementación exitosa de estos planes. Los países de ALC presentan importantes ventajas comparativas para la transición hacia matrices más sostenibles. Particularmente, se destacan la gran cantidad de recursos naturales para la producción de biomasa, energía eólica y solar. Adicionalmente, las subastas para la adjudicación de nueva capacidad energética son habituales en la regionales y tanto desarrolladores internacionales de energías renovables como prestamistas internacionales presentan interés en el financiamiento de dichas inversiones. Es por ello que los países latinoamericanos y del Caribe tienen una oportunidad única para llevar adelante una transición energética sostenible que además incremente los recursos disponibles para dicho fin. Las inversiones sostenibles para fomentar la transición energética deben ser acompañadas de medidas que amplíen el espacio fiscal de los gobiernos, para no comprometer su sostenibilidad. Para alcanzar esto, la presente nota propone discutir los temas asociados a la introducción de mecanismos que permiten impulsar la transición abriendo espacios fiscales, como mecanismos de fijación de precios de carbono, como los impuestos al carbono o los permisos negociables de emisión de carbono. Adicionalmente, se propone la posibilidad de reducir los subsidios a energéticos con grande emisiones o aumentar la eficiencia de los instrumentos con diseños más focalizados, aprovechando el contexto de bajos precios internacionales de la energía.
