1. The Relationship between Campus Recreation Facility Use and Retention for First-Time Undergraduate Students

Author

Zegre, Sera J., Hughes, Rodney P., Darling, Andrew M., and Decker, Craig R.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between campus recreation facility access and first-year retention of full-time, first-time undergraduate students at a public university for 2014-2015 through 2016-2017. Authors examine differences between facility users and nonusers by pairing facility swipe card data with student records. Statistical analysis includes logistic regression and matching approaches, controlling for student demographics, academic preparedness, academic goals, family characteristics, and various environmental factors. Results show a positive and significant relationship between recreation facility use and retention, including 7.1 to 8.4 percentage points higher retention for users versus nonusers, holding other variables constant. Subsample analysis suggests the relationship between recreation facility use and retention differs across student subgroups. Key study contributions include linking card swipe data on facility usage with extensive student records, clearly defining facility users and nonusers, and introducing a new robustness check based on assignment of students to residence halls different distances from recreation facilities.

Abstract

This paper presents results from a randomized experimental design replicated over four semesters that compared students' performance in understanding landform evolution processes as measured by the pretest to posttest score growth between two treatment methods: an online interactive simulation tool and a paper-based exercise. While both methods were shown to be effective at enhancing students' learning of the landform concepts and processes, there was no statistically significant difference in score growth between the two instructional methods. However, the attitudinal survey indicated that students consistently favored the simulation approach over the paper-based exercise. With the simulation method, female students showed greater score growth than males, especially for test items requiring higher level thinking. This indicates that the visually rich interactive simulation tool may be integrated to better support female students' learning in geoscience. Science major students generally outperformed non-science major students in terms of score growth, which suggests that background knowledge played an important role in realizing the potential of computer modeling in enhancing students' learning. Sufficient scaffolding is necessary to maximize the effect of interactive earth surface modeling in geoscience education.

Abstract

Existing research in campus recreation establishes a relationship between facility use and academic outcomes, but published studies define users differently. In response to inconsistent definitions of participants in campus recreation, this study uses a data-driven approach to compare facility use definitions. Authors illustrate the implications of choosing different participant definitions for relationships between campus recreation and two undergraduate academic outcomes, first-year retention and first-year cumulative grade point average (GPA). This study uses data from a three-year timeframe, linking sources of data on students' recreation facility use, academic outcomes, and student records. Authors provide a summary of previous definitions, results from original regression analyses, results for specific student subgroups, and recommendations for defining users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

4. Relating in-vivoStrain of the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Tendon with Grip Force

Author

Houghton, Frederick C., Huff, Reece D., Earl, Conner C., Ghajar-Rahimi, Elnaz, Dogra, Ishan, Darling, Andrew J., Damen, Frederick W., Zhou, Guoyang, Yu, Denny, Goergen, Craig J., Harris-Adamson, Carisa, and O’Connell, Grace D.

Abstract

Epidemiological studies have shown a relationship between hand exertion and risk of developing distal upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (DUEMSDs). Recently, fatigue-failure models were proposed for estimating the risk of DUEMSD development. However, models that incorporate tendon strain are primarily based on in-vitrodata and may be better informed using in-vivodata. This methodological pilot study aimed to establish an approach for correlating grip force and spatiotemporal strains of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon using ultrasound imaging. Three image texture correlation techniques to measure in-vivostrains were explored and compared: digital image correlation, direct deformation estimation, and StrainNet, a novel deep learning neural network for strain prediction. StrainNet resulted in more accurate strain measurements than conventional image assessment tools, enabled continuous prediction of FDS tendon strain, and allowed for comparison of median bulk tissue strain during isometric contraction to grip force. Future work will study more participants and viscoelastic behavior.

Abstract

This paper describes the SPOWTT project. The intention of this project was to understand how sailing by crew transfer vessel (CTVs) to offshore wind farms affects the mental and physical wellbeing of individuals on board. The focus was on quantifying this impact, understanding the key drivers, with an aim to ensuring personnel can arrive to the wind turbines in a fit state to work safely and effectively. Impacts looked at subjective state beyond simply vomiting. Key results include the ability now to predict vessel motions from given Metocean conditions and vessel designs. We also discovered that the impact of vessel motions on seasickness is different for different symptoms and is driven not only by vertical z‐axis accelerations but also by certain frequencies of motion in the y‐axis. Frequencies other than 0.16 Hz were found to be impactful, and x‐axis movements appeared to have a longer‐lasting effect on the day's work. Through the formulation of a new, evidence‐based understanding of seasickness, we have created an operational planning tool, designed to have a direct benefit on the safety and productivity of offshore wind farm operations.

Abstract

We report on results from 20 one-hour task-based interviews with 10 students enrolled in firstterm calculus. Each student participated in two interviews. The first interview included tasks designed to assess students’ ways of reasoning about fractions in static measurement scenarios (which did not involve varying quantities) and the second interview included tasks designed to assess students’ reasoning about scenarios involving quantities that co-vary. We discuss relationships between the ways students coordinated units in static situations and the ways students reasoned about co-varying quantities. The results contribute to the field’s understanding of the development of covariational reasoning and the role of constructing threelevels- of-units coordinating structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

38. Functional design and fabrication of heterogeneous tissue engineering scaffolds

Author

Darling, Andrew Leete

Subjects
Tissue engineering, Biomedical engineering
Abstract

This research posits a fundamental change in design philosophy for tissue engineering scaffolds from a single material approach, in which a single material must be optimized for all criteria, to a philosophy more typical of mechanical engineers, in which independent functional criteria are performed by multiple components. The dominant approach to tissue engineering is a scaffold-guided strategy in which cells are harvested from a patient, seeded upon a biocompatible scaffold, cultured into a functional tissue within the scaffold, and reimplanted. Presented here is a strategy to construct hybrid scaffolds of multiple components, each a specialist material fulfilling a required scaffold function. These functional components include freeform fabricated structural poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) meshes, fibrin filling the mesh to increase cell attachment, and a novel nutrient transfer component, a diffusion network, alginate threads or conduits to allow diffusion more rapidly or to greater depth within a scaffold. To characterize the structural component, PCL scaffolds of varying architectures were constructed, measured using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), estimated for nutrient transfer characteristics, and cultured with fibroblasts to examine cell seeding, cell attachment, and porosity-dependent proliferation. To characterize the cell attachment component, fibrin, PCL structural scaffolds were filled with fibroblast-bearing fibrin to determine cell distribution and to demonstrate volumetric cell growth. Fibrin was also cultured with hepatocytes alone to demonstrate material dependent effects on cell behavior. Most novel was the alginate diffusion network component, developed during this research and not yet demonstrated in the literature. To test the rationale for diffusion networks, multiple models for oxygen diffusion through scaffolds were developed to calculate oxygen concentrations and cell distribution: an analytical model for cases with uniform cell distribution, a matrix model for homogenous scaffolds with non-uniform cell populations, and a time-iterative model for scaffolds possessing non-uniform cell populations and a diffusion network. These models predicted enhanced cell growth at lower levels within scaffolds possessing a diffusion network. Preliminary cell work was then performed using fibroblasts and hepatocytes on PCL/fibrin/alginate scaffolds with two diffusion network geometries. Combined architectural analysis, cell culture testing, and numerical simulation support both the use of multiple component scaffolds and the novel diffusion network component.

41. New incision rates on the Colorado River system based on cosmogenic burial dating of terraces : implications for a transient knickpoint at Lees Ferry and differential uplift of the Rocky Mountains

Incision
Abstract

The Green and Colorado Rivers comprise the drainage system of the western slope of the Colorado Rockies and Colorado Plateau. Comparison of river profiles and rates of incision between these rivers provides a natural laboratory for resolving controls on river evolution. Disequilibrium profiles in both rivers are evident by numerous knickpoints and convexities. By compiling existing age constraints and applying cosmogenic burial dating techniques to previously undated bedrock strath terraces, we determine spatial and temporal patterns of incision and profile evolution over the last 10 Ma. In several cases, incision rates are faster below knickpoints than above, suggesting that knickpoints are dynamically evolving and likely migrating upstream. Reconstruction of paleo-profiles from the 640 ka Lava Creek B terrace suggests rates of knickpoint migration of >150 m/ka in soft rock. Hard bedrock often coincides with knickzones and appears to slow knickpoint migration (<50 m/ka). Semi-steady average incision rates of 150 m/Ma over the last ten million years on the upper Colorado has resulted in 1.6 km of incision. The Lees Ferry knickpoint (ca. 950 m elevation) is interpreted to be an upstream-migrating knickpoint initiated by integration of the system through Grand Canyon at about 6 Ma. A burial date of 1.5 +/-0.13 Ma, on a 190-m-high strath terrace 169 km above the knickpoint indicates a rate of 126 m/Ma and is three times older than a cosmogenic surface age of the same terrace. Thus high terraces dated by surface techniques are misleading. This plus a compilation of available incision rates across Lee's Ferry knickpoint show moderate rates of 150- 175 m/Ma below Lees Ferry, ca. 100- 130 m/Ma above the knickpoint in long term rates and 230-300 m/Ma above the knickpoint in very low and young terraces with lower rates farther upstream (e.g. 100 m/Ma on the San Juan and 150 m/Ma near Grand Mesa). Previous authors noted convex features in tributaries above the knickpoint are
