BACKGROUND: Understanding the barriers and facilitators of implementation completion is critical to determining why some implementation efforts fail and some succeed. Such studies provide the foundation for developing further strategies to support implementation completion when scaling up evidence-based practices (EBPs) such as Motivational Interviewing.

METHOD: This mixed-methods study utilized the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment framework in an iterative analytic design to compare adolescent HIV clinics that demonstrated either high or low implementation completion in the context of a hybrid Type III trial of tailored motivational interviewing. Ten clinics were assigned to one of three completion categories (high, medium, and …

Adsorption Studies At The Graphene Oxide-Liquid Interface: A Molecular Dynamics Study, Visal Subasinghege Don, Lukas Kim, Rolf David, Julia A. Nauman, Revati Kumar

Faculty Publications

The adsorption of organic aromatic molecules, namely aniline, onto graphene oxide is investigated using molecular simulations. The effect of the oxidation level of the graphene oxide sheet as well as the presence of two different halide salts, sodium chloride and sodium iodide, were examined. The aniline molecule in the more-reduced graphene oxide case, in the absence of added salt, showed a slightly greater affinity for the graphene oxide-water interface as compared to the oxidized form. The presence of the iodide ion increased the affinity of the aniline molecule in the reduced case but had the opposite effect for the more-oxidized …

1960s Colombia: Cold War & Culture, Dave Corcoran, Latin American And Iberian Institute

LAII Events

In Colombia, as across the Americas, the 1960s was a decade of change. As the global Cold War was then intensifying, regional groups with revolutionary objectives (FARC, ELN, EPL) took inspiration from abroad and mounted new challenges to the Colombian state. Much of the armed conflict of the decade played out in rural areas with all sides appealing for campesino support, but urban centers became a different type of battleground. There, educational and cultural programming targeted the urban middle class to counteract support for revolution, and in the climate of the Cold War, international influences were strong. This talk examines …

Evolution Of Eddy Viscosity In The Wake Of A Wind Turbine, Luis Martínez-Tossas, Juliaan Bossuyt, Nicholas Hamilton, Raul Bayoan Cal

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

The eddy viscosity hypothesis is a popular method in wind turbine wake modeling for estimating turbulent Reynolds stresses. We document the downstream evolution of eddy viscosity in the wake of a wind turbine from experimental and large-eddy-simulation data.Wake eddy viscosity is isolated from its surroundings by subtracting the inflow profile, and the driving forces are identified in each wake region. Eddy viscosity varies in response to changes in turbine geometry and nacelle misalignment with larger turbines generating stronger velocity gradients and shear stresses. We propose a model for eddy viscosity based on a Rayleigh distribution. Model parameters are obtained from …
