Challenges in Using an Open Access Platform to Showcase and Promote Works of Student Scholarship, Creative Endeavor, and Student/Faculty Collaboration
No full textThis presentation will discuss ways to use an open access repository to showcase and promote works of undergraduate scholarship and collaborations between students and faculty. It will also discuss challenges and offer practical strategies for promoting student/faculty collaboration while navigating the vastly different paradigms of various academic departments toward collaboration with students on research projects and publications
Making Undergraduate Research Open Access in the Institutional Repository: Challenges and Benefits
No full textPublication of undergraduate research in an institutional repository can provide multiple benefits to students, but there are also a number of additional challenges with which repository managers are faced-- permission forms, parsing roles in student-faculty collaborations, and concerns over the sharing of data from as-yet-unpublished research, to name but a few. In this roundtable discussion, we hope to share our, at times, hard won lessons and benefit from the collective knowledge of our fellow librarians

Convection induced by thermal gradients on thin reaction fronts
No full textWe present a thin front model for the propagation of chemical reaction fronts in liquids inside a Hele-Shaw cell or porous media. In this model we take into account density gradients due to thermal and compositional changes across a thin interface. The front separating reacted from unreacted fluids evolves following an eikonal relation between the normal speed and the curvature. We carry out a linear stability analysis of convectionless flat fronts confined in a two-dimensional rectangular domain. We find that all fronts are stable to perturbations of short wavelength, but they become unstable for some wavelengths depending on the values of compositional and thermal gradients. If the effects of these gradients oppose each other, we observe a range of wavelengths that make the flat front unstable. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear model show curved fronts of steady shape with convection propagating faster than flat fronts. Exothermic fronts increase the temperature of the fluid as they propagate through the domain. This increment in temperature decreases with increasing speed
