Geometry-Dependent Oxygen Diffusion Flux And Limiting Current Density Of The Cathode In A Cathode-Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, Kevin Huang, James L. Shull

Faculty Publications

An analysis is performed on the diffusion of oxygen through tubular porous cathode substrates having several different geometries. It is shown that the flux of oxygen as it diffuses through these different substrate geometries can be explicitly expressed by a general analytical form with a unique geometric factor for each type of substrate geometry. Experimental measurements of the geometry-independent term, oxygen diffusivity, were conducted for two representative geometries: cylindrical and triangular tubes. These measurements show good agreement between samples with similar porosities and thus favorably support the oxygen flux equations presented. Formulations for the limiting current density were also derived …

Assessing Multicultural Art Education: What Approaches Are Currently Being Used In Virginia Public High Schools?, Laura Nichols

Theses and Dissertations

This study utilized a survey of Virginia public high school teachers to examine how teachers understand multicultural education, how frequently they teach from this perspective, what cultures are represented, what teaching strategies they use, and what, if any incentives would encourage them to teach in this way more frequently. Through analysis of the findings, three major themes emerged which describe participants’ views of the purpose of multicultural education. These themes are “exposure” to other cultures, “understanding” of the way cultures interact and of the context surrounding a culture’s art, and promoting “equity” in the classroom environment and by encouraging students …

Acute Neurological Toxicity (Nt) And Long-Term Outcomes In High-Grade Glioma Rtog Trials, Y. R. Lawrence, M. Wang, A. P. Dicker, D. W. Andrews, W. J. Curran, J. M. Michalski, L. Souhami, W. A. Yung, M. Mehta

Bodine Journal

Background: Treatment of high-grade glioma consists of fractionated radiation therapy (RT) ± chemotherapy. The incidence/significance of neurological toxicity (NT) in this disease is not known. We evaluated the relationship between acute and chronic NT, and ultimate outcome, as well as risk factors for NT from the RTOG database.

Action Research: Can It Be A Means For Helping Teacher Candidates Learn About Student Diversity?, Alisa Bates, Laura S. Pardo

i.e.: inquiry in education

This paper describes the use of action research in a teacher education course as a way to support novice teachers in meeting the learning needs of a diverse student population. Our experiences as instructors in teacher education courses led us to look for strategies that could support novices’ attempts to meet students’ diverse needs because students viewed this as one of their greatest challenges as beginning teachers. We explore action research as one such strategy to respond to this learning need. We examine this practice for supporting novice teachers and consider three cases of student learning as examples. Our findings …

Quintessential Acts Of Inquiry In Educational Practice: Delineating Inquiry And Interpretation In The Pursuit Of Teacher Professionalization, Ted Purinton

i.e.: inquiry in education

Sociological and political theories on the professions indicate that established professions utilize unique forms of inquiry and interpretation to guide practice. This essay argues that for teaching to become professionalized, unique forms of inquiry and interpretation need to be emphasized. Utilizing the concept of professional jurisdiction, the essay argues that other professions' forms of inquiry, while not detrimental to the purpose of teacher professionalization, do not establish the distinctive skills upon which teachers can lay claim.

Spicing Up Public Journeys - Storytelling As A Design Strategy, Sandra Viña, Tuuli Mattelmäki

ServDes Conference Series

The paper is based on an ongoing research that aims at studying how storytelling approaches can be applied in designing public customer journeys and service environments. It first introduces briefly how storytelling has been applied in designing service experiences then introduces the research project Spice and its context and approach. Finally; the paper describes and reflects upon an example case and; how storytelling has been applied in gathering and creating stories as well as creating concept ideas.

Service Design And Healthcare Innovation: Fr0m Consumption To Co-Production And Co-Creation, Karine Freire, Daniela Sangiorgi

ServDes Conference Series

In the last decades the economy saw two significant changes in the way value has been conceived and created: the introduction of the value-constellation model and the advent of the open innovation movement. This paper will report on how these paradigmatic changes are mirrored in public services reform; with a focus on healthcare services; and on how Design practice and research are contributing to this shift. The authors will use four case studies of healthcare design-driven service innovation as a way to reflect on which models and approaches designers have been using and to evaluate the actual results and impacts …

Characteristics Of Value Co-Creation In A Learning Environment By Service Design And Service-Dominant Logic Frameworks, Jussi Haukkamaa, Pia Yliräisänen-Seppänen, Eija Timonen

ServDes Conference Series

Presently; educational institutions exist as complex networks of expertise that fulfil the needs of their stakeholders and respond to the challenges of a transforming society. Therefore; educational services are subject to a constant design process in co-operation with the customers and other stakeholders. Co-operation between parties is strongly related to the value co-creation; since the customer is the co-producer of the value according to the concept of service-dominant logic.

Service design research has paid little attention to the value of co-creation in networked education services. This paper focuses on value co-creation in service-dominant logic and service design frameworks using a …

Service Prototyping According To Service Design Practitioners, Johan Blomkvist, Stefan Holmlid

ServDes Conference Series

Current trends in service design research include case studies and similar approaches that aspire to reveal what the practice of service design looks like. The understanding of how service design is performed can serve as a base for future research into more specific research endeavours. One area where knowledge is said to be lacking is service prototyping; part of which knowledge this paper attempts to contribute. The main data source for the paper is findings from in-depth interviews with six practicing service designers from some of the more well-known design agencies. The informants consider service prototyping to be a very …

Transformative Services And Transformation Design, Daniela Sangiorgi

ServDes Conference Series

This paper claims how the parallel evolution of the conception of services and of Design for Services toward more transformational aims; would require a collective reflection on and elaboration of guiding methodological and deontological principles. By illustrating connections with similar evolutions in Participatory Design (from ‘Design for use before use’ to ‘Design for Design after Design’); Public Health Research (patient engagement and ‘empowerment’) and Consumer Research (Transformative Consumer Research); the author identifies key characteristics of transformative practices that ask for more ‘reflexivity’ on the designers’ side. Developing Design profession as contributing to society transformative aims is extremely valuable; but it …
