Full textAbstract:
Conditional efficiency or forecast encompassing is tested among alternative pork production forecasts using the method proposed by Harvey and Newbold. One-, two-, and three-quarter ahead pork production forecasts made by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the University of Illinois and Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service, and those produced by a univariate time series model are evaluated. The encompassing tests provide considerably more information about forecast performance than a simple pair-wise test for equality of mean squared errors. The results suggest that at a one-quarter horizon, the Extension service forecasts encompass the competitors, but at longer horizons, a composite forecast may provide greater accuracy.

NewCROP (http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop) is a crop resource online program that serves Indiana, the United States, and the world. This crop information system provides useful resources to encourage and assist new rural-based industries and to enhance agricultural sustainability and competitiveness. The NewCROP site currently averages 150,000 hits per month. Indiana CropMAP is the first module in a proposed nationwide, site-specific, retrievable system that will serve the crop information needs of individual growers, marketers, processors, government agencies, cooperative extension personnel, and industry. For each county in Indiana, users can access the most recent US agriculture statistics, county extension offices, lists of crops that are currently grown, recommended alternate crops, and experimental crops. Detailed crop information, much of it specific to Indiana, can be accessed directly or through a crop search. The New Crop Compendium CD-ROM was produced by the Purdue University Center for New Crops and Plant Products in cooperation with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The New Crop Compendium CD-ROM, a searchable resource of new crop information, was edited by Jules Janick and Anna Whipkey and contains the entire text and figures from the proceedings of the three National New Crop Symposia: J. Janick and J.E. Simon (eds.). 1990. Advances in New Crops. Timber Press, Portland, Ore.; J. Janick and J.E. Simon (eds.). 1993. New Crops. Wiley, New York; and J. Janick (ed.). 1996. Progress in New Crops. ASHS Press, Alexandria, Va. The New Crop Compendium provides a valuable source of information on new, specialty, neglected, and underutilized crops for scientists, growers, marketers, processors, and extension personnel. It employs an intuitive, easy to use interface. Purchase information can be found at the following url: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/compendium/order.html.

Full textAbstract:
The Mississippi State University Extension Undergraduate Apprenticeship Program was implemented in 2017 to give undergraduate juniors and seniors the opportunity to work one-on-one with an Extension mentor and explore careers in agriculture, natural resources, family and consumer sciences, community resource development, or youth development, while participating in research and outreach activities that directly benefit Extension programs and community stakeholders. The program is rooted in the principles of mentoring adult learners in an organizational context. Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model and the DEAL Model for Critical Reflection serve as the conceptual framework, whereby students engage in critical reflection to enhance their integrated research-and-outreach learning experience. An evaluation of the first two student cohorts (n=19) revealed a significant production of scholarship, an increase in discipline-specific knowledge, enhanced critical thinking and problem solving skills, a greater understanding and appreciation for Extension, and a desire to pursue related graduate studies.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this course project was the development and ultimate dissemination of original, evidence-based nutrition information in collaboration with nutrition educators within the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service using an experiential learning model. Methods An experiential learning course was designed to tailor student-learning outcomes with a goal of creating novel nutrition infographics to address topics of student interest and consumer inquiry. Faculty within Family and Consumer Sciences Extension were consulted to obtain guidelines, information and needs to facilitate the design of infographics that would best identify with Kentuckians across the commonwealth. Infographic topics were chosen based on their need for clarity among the Extension audience as well as popularity on social media channels. Each infographic went through rounds of revisions by the faculty supervisor and Extension faculty, with the final copy to be disseminated through University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Offices. Results Eight original infographics were developed through the completion of this experiential learning course. Five infographics focused on clarifying popular, yet controversial nutrition topics such as “Keto 101: Basics of the Keto Diet” and “Intermittent Fasting: What's the Fast About?”. The remaining three infographics described health impacts of micronutrients, antioxidants and culinary guidelines for popular cooking oils. Infographics are available to agents for distribution through scheduled workshops, the Internet, social media channels, etc. Conclusions An experiential learning course is an effective model for students to pursue their interests while creating evidence-based, usable nutrition information and resources for a larger audience. The infographics generated will reach rural families through the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service to educate and clarify popular, controversial topics in nutrition. As consumers’ sources of news and information is varied, it will be important that nutrition education evolve in order for credible nutrition information to be “shared”. Funding Sources This course was created through a collaboration between the Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences and the James W. Stuckert Career Center at the University of Kentucky.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes a pilot series of extension programs delivered to inmates within the Mississippi Department of Corrections system. The project was a collaboration between the Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility, state Extension forestry specialists, and county Extension staff. A large body of research describes benefits of inmate education, including lower recidivism and reducing tension that could otherwise lead to behavioral problems. Over four months, Mississippi State University Extension personnel worked with prison officials to educate inmates about forestry, logging, and arboriculture. This paper describes the collaborative process driving the project as well as program design, curriculum, materials, and delivery. Besides technical information, instructors discussed opportunities and challenges inmates may encounter if they were to pursue employment in forestry or tree care following their sentences. Instructors worked closely with prison staff to appropriately address teaching in a unique environment and the educational needs of the students. We present the student evaluation process, which was limited by prison rules. Finally, we present results from an evaluation of partners and instructors that elaborate on pitfalls, challenges, and opportunities. The Department of Corrections was highly satisfied with the program and has requested expansion to facilities across the state.

Full textAbstract:
New Zealand is considered a nation of pet lovers, with 64 percent of households owning at least one pet [1]. The aim of this study [2] was to explore what the main considerations were for hospitality operators in Auckland with regards to offering pet-friendly services. To answer this question, several key aspects were considered: pet tourism trends; market expansion of pet-friendly accommodations; the profitability of allowing pets; and operational implications, such as additional investment and labour costs. This explorative research interviewed ten accommodation providers in Auckland: five pet-friendly and five non-pet-friendly. These operators represented owners or managers of hotels, motels, lodges and apartments spread across Auckland and Waiheke Island. Research on operators’ perspectives on pet tourism is unexplored, with previous literature focusing on tourists’ perceptions [3–5]. This study hopes to provide practical implications for the industry, especially for the New Zealand context.
 New Zealand’s pet tourism market is considered small and mainly domestic. According to popular global dog travel directory Bring Fido [6], in 2017 there were a mere fifteen pet-friendly accommodations in Auckland, in stark contrast to other cities such as New York (367), London (96) and Paris (643). Interviewees’ opinions on the profitability of accommodating pet tourists varied. Non-pet operators rejected the idea of allowing pets due to an abundance of non-pet customers and were reluctant to accept perceived pet-related risks. Their pre-conceptions were likely formed by operating in silos without conducting any research on pet tourism and its market landscape. There was a genuine fear of negative online reviews which cannot be easily amended and can have significant longevity. Their key perceived risks were related to hygiene and allergy concerns for other customers. Preventative measures were believed to involve significant investment into property renovation.
 Pet friendly operators, who mainly accommodated dogs, shared a different perspective through their own experiences. They expressed high trust and optimism for pet tourists and had rarely experienced any major pet-related incidents. From a hygiene and allergy point of view, the risks were considered minimal and customers bore the responsibility when stating their allergies. Pet-friendly operators stated that no additional workload or costs were incurred through accommodating pets. Significant renovations were not deemed necessary, instead relying on what they already had. However, in the unlikely event of a major pet-related incident, the interviewees expressed that their trust towards accommodating pets would waver, meaning their tolerance of risk was not resilient. At the time of the research, pet-friendly operators were relaxed about pet policies and had not formalised them. The majority were conveying rules to pet tourists through word of mouth, such as that pets must be on a leash in public areas, instead of through written and signed agreements. Tellingly, pet-friendly operators did not perceive New Zealand’s pet tourism market as lucrative. They were allowing pets as an extension of service and lacked motivation to expand or to cater for more pets.
 The study highlights the potential for growth in the domestic pet tourism market despite the current stalemate, where those who allowed pets were supportive and vice versa. Improving this situation might require unified pet-friendly associations and certain levels of government intervention. In parallel, all operators should break out of silos and socialise more with their pet-friendly peers to gain knowledge and validate assumptions. Pet-friendly operators could improve engagement with pet tourists through standardised policies and formal agreements. With guidance and support from their peers, more accommodations may be capable of handling pets. Pet owners could look forward to a day when travelling with pets becomes much more accessible due to abundant pet-friendly accommodation.

 Monte Carmelo Agrarian Sciences Fair: experience report on a university extension project with high school students
 Abstract: High School is a period in which students deal with their expectations concerning the future, and the university entrance. Thus, extension activities on the subject are important for their career selection process. This paper aimed at reporting Monte Carmelo Agricultural Sciences Fair and its impact on the participants. The Fair was an extension event that brought high school students to the university and promoted lectures on themes related to Higher Education, Agronomy and Forest Engineering courses, laboratory tours and practical activities. At the end of the event, the participants answered a questionnaire on what they had learned, and how helpful the Fair was in their career selection process. According to the results, 43.5% of the students took part in the event in order to acquire knowledge on Agrarian Sciences, due to their future plans to pursue this career. In addition, 58% of the students claimed they had never participated in a similar event due to the lack of offer of this type of activity. Moreover, 93% of the participants claimed that the Fair was helpful in the career selection process. Finally, approximately 70% of them developed an interest in studying Agronomy, while 17% said they would study Forest Engineering. The fulfillment of such activities brings the University and the school community together, allowing the institutions to disseminate academic knowledge, and to attempt to arouse in the youngsters the desire to pursue Higher Education.

Full textAbstract:
Computational nanotechnology is a simulation science; that is, a way of producing scientific knowledge dependent upon computer simulations because, for a variety of reasons, current experimental set-ups do not answer crucial questions. The resource needs of simulation science have often been obscured by two assumptions – that simulations are a ‘cheap’ alternative to experiment and that they are closely connected to theory – though not simply synonymous with or simple extensions of theory. This paper challenges both notions by exploring the resources - human, financial, and computational – needed to perform computational nanotechnology and by showing the close coupling between empirical data and the construction of simulations. I look specifically at three U.S. computational nanotechnology sites and projects: the NASA-Ames Research Center, the Network for Computational Nanotechnology at Purdue University, and the Chemical Industry’s Roadmap for Nanostructured Materials as a protocol for nanotechnological development that specifically addresses the role of simulations.

 Promoting conscious and sustainable consumption of electric energy through a university extension project for elementary education
 Abstract: This paper aims to report the experience from the project named “Energy Efficiency in the School” with seven-year-old students in a Second Grade classroom in a school located in Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. In 2019, university extension activities were promoted by students, professors, and technical-administrative employees who work in the education field at the Undergraduate Degree in Energy Engineering at the Federal University of Pampa, Bagé Campus. The project goal is to sensitize Basic Education students to build a culture based on the efficient use of electric energy. In cooperation with the classroom teachers, the proposed activities embrace presentations, discussions, games, and in-class practical demonstrations on energy efficiency and conservation, as well as applied electricity. This paper details the procedures performed by the project team and the learning strategies used in the classroom, such as the tutorial, small-group, and game-based learning techniques. Results are discussed, emphasizing the lifestyle changes for the efficient use of electric energy verified during and after the university extension activities were carried out. This project motivates elementary school students to pursue Higher Education; enhances the collaboration between University and schools; and supports the Basic Education. Thereby, scientific and technological knowledge is disseminated, demonstrating the role played by the University in the local and regional development.

Full textAbstract:
The Oil Palm Industry Corporation of Papua New Guinea is transforming itself under the leadership of a Chief Executive Officer appointed in February 1996. During 1997, a team from the University of Western Sydney, Hawkesbury designed and initiated an Industry Learning and Leadership Development Program for OPIC. It began in October 1997 and finished in June 1999. The hypothesis is presented that the process, which the program is a part of, is enabling a transformation that constitutes a fundamental paradigm shift, from a production input and technology transfer model of extension to a systemic, community-development oriented one. The case for the hypothesis is pursued through an account of the experience of the program, and critical reflection on it. The outcomes of this are related to the challenge presented by a paradigm shift in extension. Praxis and effective leadership of it are put forward as an appropriate response. This is characterised by (i) widespread dissatisfaction with the pre-existing situation; (ii) conceptualisation of an alternative based on shared values, (iii) facilitation of theory-informed practice in the local context, and critical reflection on it, (iv) the internal capacity of the system to translate opportunities for reform into protocols and procedures, (v) the imprimatur of the ‘owners’ of the system, and (vi) access to needed resources.

The purpose of this creative project was to develop a program on video tape that would briefly explain the local Cooperative Extension Office, the programs and the assistance available. Audio-visual material available prior to this consisted of one slide tape set approximately 10 years old. In the new video tape a short history of Extension, and an overview of each area of the local Extension Office are explained, using examples of how the local Extension Agents provide assistance to the community. The disciplines include 4-H, Agriculture, Family and Consumer Sciences and Community Development.Development of the video tape included planning, script writing, filming, editing and documentation of the project. The major task was to present the best, most informative material explaining the role of Extension with-out being long and boring. By showing preliminary tapes to control groups and making changes as suggested. A final format was established that should most effectively explain the Extension Office and its services.

The land-grant university system was founded in the 19th century as a public means to help improve people’s everyday lives. A century and a half later, the challenges that the public faces to live a quality life are constantly changing, creating a need for the land-grant system to respond and adapt to continue to fulfill its mission. While the literature contains a wealth of conceptual papers addressing the role and mission of land-grant universities, relatively few papers could be found that reported empirical data or proposed and tested metrics for public engagement constructs. The current study sought to address this void in the literature through the investigation of factors influencing Indiana residents’ level of interest in engaging with Purdue University. Mail survey methods were used in which up to three contacts were made with adult members of 4,500 Indiana households identified through address-based sampling. Stratified random sampling was employed to ensure adequate rural household participation for other project purposes. Usable responses were received from 1,003 households representing 87 Indiana counties for a total response rate of 26%. <br><div><br> </div><div> A theoretical perspective was developed from Public Sphere Theory and the social science writings of Jurgen Habermas and Alexis de Tocqueville. Descriptive findings revealed some to moderate concerns about community and social issues such as affordable health care, violent crime, pollution and prescription drug abuse. Moderate levels of anomie, or perceived social disconnectedness, were also reported by respondents. Several items tapped respondents’ past levels of interaction with and current perceptions of Purdue University. Nearly a fifth of respondents reported interacting with Purdue University by having visited a website for news or information, followed by interacting with a Purdue University Extension professional. Regarding perceptions of Purdue University, the results of this study revealed relative consensus among respondents that Purdue University makes a positive contribution to the state of Indiana through its educational, research and outreach programs. For a majority of the perceptual items regarding Purdue University, more than one-third of the respondents neither agreed nor disagreed with the statement, suggesting some areas in which the university might improve its reputational standing with Indiana residents in the future. Nearly one-quarter to about half of the respondents indicated interest in topical areas addressed by Purdue Extension programs as well as an interest in engaging with the university. Respondents reported the highest levels of interest in free Extension programs in their local area, followed by the topics of science and technology, health and well-being, and gardening.</div><div><br> </div><div> A predictive model of respondent interest in engaging with Purdue University was developed and tested using binary logistic regression procedures. The model was shown to be of modest utility in accounting for variance in respondent interest in engaging with Purdue University, explaining 12% to 16% of total variance. Past interaction with Purdue University, perceived level of concern for social and community issues, and highest level of education were the strongest predictors in the model.</div><div><br> </div><div> The current research was completed in 2019 as Purdue University celebrated its 150th anniversary. Results and implications of this study provide important insight into current engagement levels, concerns and perceptions of residents within the state of Indiana, whom the university is mandated to serve. One of the study’s primary contributions is the establishment of baseline engagement data on current levels of Indiana residents’ interest in engaging with Purdue University on selected topics. Findings from this study could be of benefit to university administrators, faculty, staff and Extension professionals in assessing and improving future programming and setting strategic priorities. This study also adds to the conceptual and empirical body of literature, which may help inform future public engagement efforts at other land-grant universities. Periodic social science and public opinion research is needed to keep pace with the changing needs and perceptions of Indiana residents. Different data collection modes should be utilized to reach more audience segments and add to the growing knowledge base of public engagement.</div>

Full textAbstract:
This chapter presents a novel approach for classification of dataset by suitably tuning the parameters of radial basis function networks with an additional cost of feature selection. Inputting optimal and relevant set of features to a radial basis function may greatly enhance the network efficiency (in terms of accuracy) at the same time compact its size. In this chapter, the authors use information gain theory (a kind of filter approach) for reducing the features and differential evolution for tuning center and spread of radial basis functions. Different feature selection methods, handling missing values and removal of inconsistency to improve the classification accuracy of the proposed model are emphasized. The proposed approach is validated with a few benchmarking highly skewed and balanced dataset retrieved from University of California, Irvine (UCI) repository. The experimental study is encouraging to pursue further extensive research in highly skewed data.

Many people have studied the history of African American women chemists, but the information is scattered in many references, articles, and trade books. Until now, there was no one place where one could access extensive information about these women. This book is a compilation of all the references to date about the lives of these women; the chapters include a brief biography of each woman, with citations to the published information. The back matter provides a list of references. Not all of the women that I have written about are primarily researchers; some of them chose to be educators or businesspeople. My selection includes women pioneers—women who were the first to enter the field and receive a degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or chemical engineering. Some of these women were able to work as chemists before obtaining an advanced degree in chemistry. They later chose to pursue the PhD degree when major colleges and university allowed all students, regardless of race, to study. Some of the women chose not to pursue PhD degrees, ending their education with an MS degree. I extended my research to try to find the earliest women to pursue chemistry after the Civil War. It was difficult to find such early documents; however, I have not stopped searching. The first woman in this book, Josephine Silone Yates, was born into a family of free blacks in the north in 1852, before the Civil War. The next woman, Bebee Steven Lynk, was born in Mason, Tennessee in 1872 but not much is known about her early life. Alice Ball was born in 1896 into a family of free blacks in Seattle. These women, who were born in the nineteenth century, studied chemistry. Only one obtained an advanced degree: a PhC, which may have been a two-year degree.

Full textAbstract:
Dr. Marie Maynard Daly was the first African American woman chemist to receive a PhD in chemistry. In addition, she was part of a research team that was working on the precursors to DNA . Marie was born Marie Maynard Daly on April 16, 1921, to Ivan C. Daly and Helen Page, the first of three children. Her father, who had emigrated from the West Indies, received a scholarship from Cornell University to study chemistry; however, he had to drop out because he could not pay his room and board, and he became a postal worker. Daly’s interest in science came from her father’s encouragement and the desire to live his dream.” He later encouraged his daughter to pursue his dream, even though she was a woman and had brothers who were twins. In the 1920s, as a result of the women’s suffrage movement, some women began to aspire to achievement in areas outside the domestic sphere. Marie’s mother encouraged reading and spent many hours reading to her and her brothers. Marie’s maternal grandfather had an extensive library, including books about scientists, such as The Microbe Hunters by Paul De Kruff; she read that book and many others like it. Growing up in Queens, one of the boroughs of New York City, she attended the local public school, where she excelled. She was able to attend Hunter College High School, an all girls’ school affiliated with Hunter College for women. Since this was a laboratory school for Hunter College, the faculty encouraged the girls to excel in their studies. Since Marie had an aptitude for science, the teachers there encouraged her to study college-level chemistry while still in high school. One of the many advantages of living in New York City during that time was that students who had good grades could enter one of the tuition-free colleges run by the City of New York. As a result, Daly enrolled in Queens College, then one of the newest institutions in the City College system, in Flushing, New York.

Purdue Polytechnic Columbus is one of ten statewide extensions of Purdue University and is located about an hour south of Indianapolis in an economic region dominated by manufacturing. Just less than 40% of the workforce in this 10 county region is directly employed by the manufacturing industry. The primary employer in the region is diesel-engine manufacturer Cummins, Inc. but there are many others including Toyota, Honda, Faurecia, NTN Driveshaft, Valeo, and Aisin. Most of the manufacturing industry is related to automobile production. Purdue Polytechnic Columbus is unique among higher education institutions due to a partnership with diesel-engine manufacturer Cummins Inc. that has led to an environmentally-controlled metrology lab located within the university facility. This puts Purdue Polytechnic Columbus in a unique position to develop and offer training and education programs targeted to local industry and local education institutions. There have been many recent reports of shortages of trained metrology personnel. As a university, Purdue Polytechnic Columbus has developed many programs to engage young people in the STEM disciplines to foster interest in manufacturing and engineering careers. This work attempts to develop a hands-on activity that emphasizes the importance of measurement within the broader context of assembly-line manufacturing. Participants create multiple assembly lines to produce a simple fixture, utilizing various measurement tools to increase quality and improve efficiency. The last effort employs go/no-go gauges to illustrate the value of those tools in manufacturing to improve quality and efficiency.

Alpha radiation emitting radon (Rn) gas seepage into homes in the USA leads to over 21,000 annual lung cancer deaths (according to the US-Environmental Protection Agency, EPA) leading to mandatory monitoring for Rn throughout the USA. In the nuclear industry alpha emitting radionuclides in air (e.g., in spent fuel reprocessing) also constitute a major safety and security-safeguards related issues. Purdue University, along with Sagamore Adams Laboratories LLC, is developing the tensioned metastable fluid detector (TMFD) technology for general-purpose alpha-neutron-fission spectroscopy. This paper focuses on rapid, high-efficiency detection of Rn and progeny in air using the novel TMFD technology; Rn and progeny isotopes in air are sparged through the TMFD detection fluid (to entrap the radioactive gas), which is then placed under a metastable state. Through tailoring the metastable fluid state, an audible and visible cavitation detection event is created and readily detected from transient bubble formation. Changing the tensioned state allows for the spectroscopic differentiability of Rn and its daughters which can be used to actively measure the equilibrium between the parent and daughter products. Such a technique can also be used to monitor the atmosphere in critical nuclear facilities for contamination from other alpha emitting isotopes (e.g., Pu, Cm, U...). TMFDs offer the unique ability for high intrinsic efficiency (>95%) alpha-neutron-fission fragment detection, while remaining blind to background beta and gamma radiation (qualified to >3.8×108 Bq m−3 using a dissolved 32P beta source, and also via gammas from a 53 R/hr 137Cs gamma source). Immunity to beta and gamma is beneficial for the discrimination of buildup of beta-emitting Thoron and Rn progeny in the detection fluid allowing for reusability. This paper will discuss the research results pertaining to detection of Radon and progeny in air, for concentrations between 74 Bq m−3 (2 pCi/L) and 740 Bq m−3 (20 pCi/L). The system measures a radon concentration between these levels to within ±15% intrinsic relative error (IRE) within 24 hours meeting the standards outlined by the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technicians-National Radon Proficiency Program (AARST-NRPP) Device Evaluation Program. Precision evaluation was also performed and the relative standard deviation defined by the AARST-NRPP was <5% exceeded the requirement of 25%. Ambient temperature effects were assessed at 10 °C and at 27 °C, which revealed a large increase in collection efficiency with decreasing sampling temperature and slight increase with increasing sampling temperature. Temperature effects on sensitivity thresholds and volumetric expansion were measured and used to compensate for variability in temperature over time. Blind testing with the help of Bowser-Morner Radon Reference Laboratory was performed and succeeded in accurately determining the Rn in air concentration to within 20% within only 6h of sampling. Finally, a 48-hour based collection time has also been developed for use in dwellings where Rn in air concentrations may vary in a day. Overall, the reproducibility and precision of TMFD technology is found to allow for an efficient, cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly means of Rn and progeny detection, and by extension for use for general actinide in air monitoring for the nuclear industry.

Inspections in flexible risers have detected a considerable number of damages in their top section caused by the installation process or generated during their operation, due to the contact with another riser or components of the floating facility. Among the most common damages detected, the rupture of the tensile armor wires is critical to the structure integrity as its load capacity may be significantly reduced. The objective of this work is to present the main results involving pure tension and torsion with tension tests in a 4” unbonded flexible riser with five damaged wires in its outer tensile armor. These tests were carried out at the Structures Laboratory of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (LabEst). Besides presenting full data concerning the internal structure of the riser, this paper describes the experimental procedures used to perform the tests and the main results obtained such as axial and torsional stiffness and the redistribution of forces in the wires. Comparisons between numerical simulations with those obtained experimentally are presented. A brief discussion about results and some simplifications assumed on the numerical model are presented at the end of the work.

Asynchronous web based instruction, more commonly known as online education or distance learning, has been available for some time. This technology has brought education within the reach of many who would otherwise be unable to attend live classes. Time schedules and distance no longer have a bearing on attending a course. Even group projects are manageable with email and discussion groups. Many courses convert quite well to the online format, and studies have shown that students can learn as much from online courses as from live courses. In many cases, multiple course certificate programs and even some complete degree programs are offered online. As inviting as online courses may be, they do have their limitations, especially classes with a laboratory component. A number of institutions have offered laboratory-based classes in an online format with varying degrees of complexity and success. In some cases, students travel to the institution a limited number of times for extensive laboratory experiences while other institutions use what might best be described as virtual reality based systems. This paper discusses Purdue University Calumet’s first laboratory-based online course, MFET 275, Computer Numerical Control Programming Application. A combination of technologies makes this course successful and effective. Development procedures for this course along with technology used, online pedagogy issues, and course assessment are covered in this paper. Suggestions for future course development complete the discussion.

Full textAbstract:
Applying a new non-axisymmetric endwall contouring technology introduced by Turbomachinery Performance and Flow Research Laboratory (TPFL) at Texas A&M University to the second rotor row of a three-stage research turbine, has shown that for a single rotor row a major turbine efficiency improvement can be achieved [1]. Motivated by these results, comprehensive numerical and experimental investigations on the TPFL research turbine were conducted to determine the impact of the endwall contouring on film cooling effectiveness. For this investigation, the first rotor row directly subjected to the purge flow injection was chosen to which the new contouring technology was applied. Performing an extensive RANS simulation by using the boundary conditions from the experiments, aerodynamics, performance and film cooling effectiveness studies were performed by varying the injection blowing ratio and turbine rotational speed. Performance measurements were carried out within a rotational speed range of 1800 to 3000 RPM. The corresponding CFD simulations were carried out for four rotational speeds, 2000, 2400, 2600, and 3000 rpm. Comparison of the RANS aerodynamics simulation with experiments reveals noticeable differences. Considering the film cooling effectiveness, major differences between experiment and numerical results were observed and discussed in the paper.

This work presents some of the results obtained from an extensive experimental test campaign performed at the Department of Mechanical Nuclear and Production Engineering (DIMNP) of Pisa University with the partnership of Avio Propulsione Aerospaziale S.p.A. This test campaign, that is still being performed, is concerned with the characterization of teeth damage in high performance gear transmissions, such as aeronautical ones, characterized by high levels of velocity and load. Damage detection and monitoring have been pursued during all the tests in order to achieve a better understanding of causes and evolution of teeth damage. Moreover, to investigate the effects of different parameters on teeth damage, tests with different load, velocity, teeth geometry, materials and surface finishing, have been performed. The surface conditions of the gear teeth have been investigated using in particular two different instruments: a computer-controlled stylus profilometer able to perform 3D investigations and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) recently provided by a software for surface reconstruction. Qualitative and quantitative changes in surface roughness have been detected. Besides the experimental activity, numerical analyses have been also started for finding theoretical criteria for surface damage prediction; some few obtained results are presented. Due to the vastness of the work performed, only a survey of the main results obtained till now is presented in the paper.

Abstract The paper presents an overview of the past and present of low-emission combustor research with hydrogen-rich fuels at Aachen University of Applied Sciences. In 1990, AcUAS started developing the Dry-Low-NOx Micromix combustion technology. Micromix reduces NOx emissions using jet-in-crossflow mixing of multiple miniaturized fuel jets and combustor air with an inherent safety against flashback. At first, pure hydrogen as fuel was investigated with lab-scale applications. Later, Micromix prototypes were developed for the use in an industrial gas turbine Honeywell/Garrett GTCP-36-300, proving low NOx characteristics during real gas turbine operation, accompanied by the successful definition of safety laws and control system modifications. Further, the Micromix was optimized for the use in annular and can combustors as well as for fuel-flexibility with hydrogen-methane-mixtures and hydrogen-rich syngas qualities by means of extensive experimental and numerical simulations. In 2020, the latest Micromix application will be demonstrated in a commercial 2 MW-class gas turbine can-combustor with full-scale engine operation. The paper discusses the advances in Micromix research over the last three decades.

The paper presents a combined experimental and numerical program directed at defining a cost/effective methodology for conjugate heat transfer CFD simulations of engine water cooling jackets. As a first step in the process, deficiencies in current numerical strategies for the analysis of conjugate heat transfer problems under typical engine operating conditions are exposed and commented. Results are shown form a wide validation program based on the comparison between experimental measurements from a test facility at Villanova University and CFD predictions at the University of Modena. On the experimental side, the test apparatus consists of a test section, pump, accumulator tank, rejection heat exchanger and required pumping. The test section is provided with a constant volumetric flow rate, and consists of a cylindrical aluminum body with a drilled horizontal flow channel. The section is heated by ten cartridge heaters located at a constant radial distance from the cylinder axis. The test section is connected to the flow loop by means of two calming sections, respectively at the cylinder inlet and exit. Twenty thermocouples are used to measure the test section local temperature along a radial plane cutting the cylinder. Water / ethylene-glycol binary mixture and pure water are tested and compared during the experimental program, in order to reproduce a set of thermal situations as close as possible to actual engine cooling system operation. On the CFD side, an extensive program reproducing the experiments is carried out in order to assess the predictive capabilities of some of the most commonly used eddy viscosity models available in literature. Both non-evaporating and evaporating conditions are tested, showing severe limitations to the use of simplified boiling models to correctly capture the complex interaction between turbulent boundary layer and vapor bubble dynamics. In order to overcome the above stated deficiencies under boiling conditions, a methodology is then proposed to both improve the accuracy of the CFD forecasts and reduce the computational costs of the simulations. A few preliminary results from the validation process are shown and briefly discussed at the end of the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Many turbofan engine exhaust designs feature internal forced mixers to rapidly mix the hot core flow with the cold bypass flow before the nozzle exit, primarily to enhance mixing and thus improve Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC). Although the design is intended for performance improvement, it may also considerably reduce low frequency noise because of the lower relative mixed jet velocity compared to a confluent nozzle. In reality, the presence of the mixer adds complexity to the jet flow fields and additional high frequency source noise commonly labeled “mixer excess noise”. There is no industry standard on predicting such jet noise contribution. As a remedy to this, a new method was recently developed by the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), UK, and Purdue University, USA, under the AeroAcoustics Research Consortium (AARC) contract to predict jet noise of lobed mixers. The method essentially relies on SAE ARP876D or ESDU98019 far field noise spectra predicted for single stream jets, with appropriate filtering to decompose the spectrum into an enhanced jet spectrum and a fully mixed jet spectrum. The process is similar to the four source model earlier developed for the coplanar separate flow jets. In addition to mixer flow parameters, the prediction method requires the knowledge of two parameters related to mixer excess noise: a turbulence factor Fm, defined as the ratio of the turbulence in a forced mixer to the ‘normal’ turbulence in a single-stream mixed jet at equal distances downstream of the nozzle; and LenJ that represents the axial length of the effective jet over which Fm exceeds unity. Extensive analysis of NASA scale model lobed mixers noise data showed that the method is promising. RANS CFD was also performed to numerically determine equivalent turbulence scales based on the turbulent kinetic energy in forced mixer jets relative to confluent mixer jets. The present paper extends this work, refining the prediction method and providing validation of the new method with full-scale engine noise data. In addition, the potential of CFD to enhance noise prediction for lobed mixer jets by providing the turbulence scales needed for the empirical model is further investigated. A new definition of the equivalent CFD turbulence parameters is proposed that agrees well with those derived from empirical jet noise model. Comparison of the CFD results with NASA PIV data for a confluent mixer configuration showed that the CFD methodology is not yet fully mature and additional work is required. However, the resolution of the mixer turbulence scales predicted by CFD analysis is sufficient to identify noise trends between two mixer designs. As a result, CFD is seen as a tool with the potential to identify mixer designs that result in lower jet noise.
