Abstract:
The VuFind open–source, next-generation catalog system was implemented by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois as an alternative to the WebVoyage OPAC system. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign began offering VuFind alongside WebVoyage in 2009 as an experiment in next generation catalogs. Using a faceted search discovery interface, it offered numerous improvements to the UIUC catalog and focused on limiting results after searching rather than limiting searches up front. Library users have praised VuFind for its Web 2.0 feel and features. However, there are issues, particularly with catalog data.

Abstract:
This article discusses the results of two collection assessments conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The library s Preservation Committee completed the first assessment and reported its results in College & Research Libraries in 1989. The second assessment was completed in 2002 and accompanies the institution’s initiative to establish the library’s first centralized preservation and conservation program. Both assessments focused on the central stacks collection, a repository collection serving the institution’s forty-two branch and departmental libraries. Although a reanalysis of the first assessment s data was impossible, the authors attempted to draw comparisons between the two assessments’ results. After thirteen years without a preservation program and without any significant facilities improvements, the results provide insight into the results of deferred collections care and facilities maintenance and offer guidance for conducting similar studies with other research library collections.

Robert McChesney was interviewed in late 2001 in Urbana, Illinois. He is a research professor in the Institute of Communication Research and the Graduate School of Information and Library Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. He is also the noted author of several books including Rich Media, Poor Democracy: Communication Politics in Dubious Times and It's the Media, Stupid! The interview was conducted to broaden our understanding of the interplay of social issues and the media. Being cognizant of changes in the American media is particularly important in the policy arena where the dissemination of information and the shaping of public opinion is critical to the success of our efforts on behalf of our clients. McChesney candidly illuminates his views about the confluence of recent political, social, and economic changes that shape our media, our knowledge, and the context of efforts to affect social change.

Abstract:
Welcome to this special issue of Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences. As guest editors, we are delighted to be able to share the experiences of the Ethnography of the University Initiative (EUI, www.eui.uiuc.edu), a multi-disciplinary course-based initiative that fosters student research on their own universities and ishoused at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U of I). EUI is at once a pedagogical approach, a teaching community and a digital archive. EUI also works as a research agenda committed to student engagement with university practice and policy – and thus to institutional critique. In this editorial introduction, we provide an overview of EUI’s history, innovations, organisational structure and guiding values. We also introduce this issue’s authors – faculty members, an administrator and a former student – all of whom have taught with EUI and have documented here the ways in which taking the university as a research subject transformed their courses and teaching, and in some cases, their programmes and learning.

Abstract:
The strategic planning process in special libraries and information centers is described, with emphasis given to the importance of planning efforts being tightly aligned with the business goals of the parent organization. Success in executing the strategic plan is strongly dependent on developing and polishing skill sets needed by persons active in the workforce today, while concurrently growing leadership and technical talent to meet future challenges. Following a discussion of general characteristics that distinguish special libraries and information centers from academic and public libraries, key concepts related to the strategic planning process in an organizational context are presented. A case study of the strategic planning efforts at a special library, the Illinois Fire Service Institute Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, illustrates the process and benefits gained from following the goals and strategies highlighted in the plan. The authors offer insightful recommendations to those involved in the planning process and suggest future research directions.

Abstract:
This chapter is the result of a panel discussion held at the end of the symposium “NMR Spectroscopy in Environmental Science and Technology” that was presented at the ACS National Meeting in Denver, Colorado, March 28–April 2, 1993. The intention of the panel discussion was to examine and make recommendations for the future of environmental NMR research. This chapter is a general synopsis of the answers and comments from the panelists and members of the audience to three posed questions. The six panelists were: . . . Dr. Roger A. Minear (Moderator), University of Illinois, Urbana, IL Dr. H.-D. Lüdemann, Institut für Biophysik &amp; Physikalische Biochemie, Regensburg, Germany Dr. Robert Wershaw, United States Geological Survey, Denver, CO Dr. Jerry A. Leenheer, United States Geological Survey, Denver, CO Dr. Gary Maciel, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO Dr. Leo Condron, Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand . . . It was generally agreed that the area in which environmental NMR research will be the most influential is the examination of chemical and physical interactions between contaminants and the environmental matrix, especially for heterogeneous and complex matrices. This is because NMR can be used as an in-situ and non-invasive probe. One advantage of NMR for environmental studies is that it can specifically follow the chemistry occurring in complex environments and matrices. In addition, the wide range of NMR-accessible nuclei creates significant potential for research in this area. A specific area where NMR could be useful is the examination of chemicals and their transformation in soils and sediments, both biotic and abiotic, without having to use extraction methods. This could provide information regarding precursors, reaction products, and changes occurring in soils, without jeopardizing sample integrity by extraction methods. Tracking reactions and reaction by-products in such matrices can be carried one step further by labeling compounds with NMR-sensitive nuclei and following the concurrent reactions. It will also be useful to use NMR in this fashion to examine the influence of the biota upon the reaction and the reaction products, which will in turn advance studies examining bioavailability and bioremediation processes.

Abstract An integrated system to support both product and manufacturing process design should be such that (1) the part design can be evaluated and redesigned based on manufacturability analysis and (2) the manufacturing processes can be selected efficiently and flexibly exploiting product information provided by part design representations. In this paper, we describe the collaborative research of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and the University of Michigan (UM) in computer-aided process planning for mill-turn machining. The UIUC geometric reasoning system based on convex decomposition identifies the machining features and maps the negative feature volumes to machining process methods, and generates geometry-based machining precedence relations. The UM process planning system based on genetic algorithm determines machining process sequences and assignment to multiple spindles and turrets.

In February 2012, the College of Engineering created the Strategic Instructional Initiatives Program (SIIP) to transform and revitalize the core engineering courses at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As SIIP has evolved, we have learned that in order to achieve these goals, we must first focus on creating collaborative teaching cultures. This effort has sparked the rapid spread of Research-Based Instructional Strategies across the college and created a thriving community of faculty invested in improving undergraduate instruction. In this paper, we describe the current policies and procedures that we use to direct SIIP. In particular, we will focus on the structure of the leadership team and how we have fostered deep collaborations among faculty developers, education researchers, and engineering faculty. We conclude by presenting an evaluation of the program.

"Investigation and Mitigation of Differential Movement at Railway Transitions for US High Speed Passenger Rail and Joint Passenger/Freight Corridors." In 2012 Joint Rail Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/jrc2012-74074.

Full text
Abstract:
As with most highway bridges, railway transitions experience differential movements due to differences in track system stiffness, track damping characteristics, foundation type, ballast settlement from fouling and/or degradation, as well as fill and subgrade settlement. This differential movement is especially problematic for high speed rail infrastructure as the “bump” at the transition is accentuated at high speeds. Identification of different factors contributing towards this differential movement, as well as development of design and maintenance strategies to mitigate the problem is imperative for the safe and economical operation of both freight and passenger rail networks. This paper presents the research framework and preliminary findings from a recently initiated research effort at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Aimed at developing design and repair techniques to mitigate differential movement at railway transitions, this research project involves instrumentation, performance monitoring and numerical modeling of new and existing track transitions.

Abstract:
This paper presents the research framework and preliminary findings from a recently started Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored research project at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on developing and using seismic wave propagation principles to develop a track substructure (ballast and subgrade) condition assessment system. This condition assessment system will be used to evaluate track safety and to predict inspection intervals. This research is needed because there is no tool or system available that quantitatively measures the mechanics based properties of the layers comprising a track system. These mechanics based properties are shear modulus, modulus of deformation (Young’s modulus), and shear strength that can be derived from direct measurement of the shear wave velocity profile. Currently the modulus and shear strength of the track system materials are usually estimated which leads to uncertainty in the numerical analyses and estimates of track safety.

Abstract:
The turbulent flow modulation on the unsteady behavior of a model VAWT is investigated and compared with a model HAWT of similar size in a laboratory experiment. The turbines operated in low and high freestream turbulence. The research was performed at the Talbot Laboratory wind tunnel at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). High-resolution measurements of the turbine voltage for a small, 12 cm HAWT and a 16 cm VAWT are acquired at high temporal resolution, sufficient to capture the turbulent scales of flow relevant to the problem. Both turbines were built at the UIUC rapid prototyping lab and have realistic airfoil shapes. An understanding of the distinctive physical processes modulating the scale-to-scale fluctuating behavior in a VAWT and a HAWT exposed to the same turbulent flow conditions is discussed. A relation between turbulent motions and fluctuating behavior is extended from the knowledge of HAWTs to VAWTs.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous research has focused on the effect of rail cant on rail wear and wheel/rail interaction, indicating that a steeper rail cant results in increased wear on rails and wheels. However, no research has investigated the effect of rail cant on the crosstie rail seat pressure distribution. Past research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) looked into the effect of negative (reverse) rail cant on pressure distribution across the rail seat utilizing matrix-based tactile surface sensors (MBTSS) on artificially created rail seat wear profile at TTC, Pueblo. These results showed that the pressure distribution became more non uniform with increasing negative rail cant. This paper looks into the effect of ‘design’ rail cant on pressure distribution across the rail seat. Static tests were carried out on 1:30 and 1:40 cant crossties imparting a predefined sequence of vertical and lateral load combinations. MBTSS and potentiometers were used to measure pressure distribution and rail rotation respectively. The 1:30 cant distributed load more evenly than 1:40 cant at lateral to vertical force ratios greater than 0.4. The two rail cants did not show significant differences in the values of average pressure, contact area, or rail rotation.

Full text
Abstract:
As higher demands are placed on North American railroad infrastructure by heavy haul traffic, it is increasingly important to understand the factors affecting the magnitude and distribution of load imparted to concrete crosstie rail seats. The rail seat load distribution is critical to the analysis of failure mechanisms associated with rail seat deterioration (RSD), the degradation of the concrete surface at the crosstie rail seat. RSD can lead to wide gauge, cant deficiency, and an increased risk of rail rollover, and is therefore of primary concern to Class I Freight Railroads in North America. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have successfully characterized the loading environment at the rail seat using matrix-based tactile surface sensors (MBTSS). Previous research has proven the feasibility of using MBTSS in both laboratory and field applications, and recent field experimentation has yielded several hypotheses concerning the effect of fastening system wear on the rail seat load distribution. This paper will focus on the analysis of data gathered from laboratory experimentation with MBTSS to evaluate these hypotheses, and will propose a metric for crosstie and fastening system design which considers the uniformity of the load distribution. The knowledge gained from this experimentation will be integrated with associated research conducted at UIUC to form the framework for a mechanistic design approach for concrete crossties and fastening systems.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the most common failure modes of concrete crossties in North America is the degradation of the concrete surface at the crosstie rail seat, also known as rail seat deterioration (RSD). Loss of material beneath the rail can lead to wide gauge, rail cant deficiency, and an increased risk of rail rollover. Previous research conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has identified five primary failure mechanisms: abrasion, crushing, freeze-thaw damage, hydro-abrasive erosion, and hydraulic pressure cracking. The magnitude and distribution of load applied to the rail seat affects four of these five mechanisms; therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of the rail seat load distribution to effectively address RSD. As part of a larger study funded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) aimed at improving concrete crossties and fastening systems, researchers at UIUC are attempting to characterize the loading environment at the rail seat using matrix-based tactile surface sensors (MBTSS). This instrumentation technology has been implemented in both laboratory and field experimentation, and has provided valuable insight into the distribution of a single load over consecutive crossties. A review of past research into RSD characteristics and failure mechanisms has been conducted to integrate data from field experimentation with existing knowledge, to further explore the role of the rail seat load distribution on RSD. The knowledge gained from this experimentation will be integrated with associated research conducted at UIUC to form the framework for a mechanistic design approach for concrete crossties and fastening systems.

Abstract:
To meet the demands of increasing freight axle loads and cumulative gross tonnages, as well as high-speed passenger rail development in North America, the performance and service life of concrete railway crossties must be improved. As a part of a study funded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) aimed at improving concrete crossties and fastening systems, laboratory experimentation was performed at the Advanced Transportation Research Engineering Laboratory by researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This paper focuses on the behavior of concrete cross-ties as well as characterizing and quantifying the loads transmitted from the wheel/rail interface through the fastening system to the tie in the vertical direction. Concrete embedment strain gauges were cast below rail seat to create a “load cell” to measure the rail seat vertical load. Laboratory instrumentation efforts have been done to calibrate this vertical “load cell”. To understand the rail seat load and load path in the field, experimentation was performed at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, both static loading which were applied by TTC’s Track Loading Vehicle and dynamic loading due to real wheel-rail interaction were discussed. Concrete cross-tie bending behavior was also investigated through the use of strain gauges applied in the longitudinal axis of the crossties in both laboratory and field experiments. Results from these findings will be utilized to aid in the recommendations for the mechanistic design of various components within the fastening system.
