Home Economics on Display

Did you ever attend Veishea at Iowa State College and not have the privilege of enjoying one of the individual cherry pies for which the Home Economics Division is so display in this exhibit will show a well appointed buffet luncheon ready to be served

VEISHEA 1928

It is not likely that the ingenious student who first conceived the idea of coining the word Veishea from the initial letters of each of Iowa State\u27s five divisions ever visualized the significance this word would come to have upon our campus

Correleation of the SAGE III on ISS Thermal Models in Thermal Desktop

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument is the fifth in a series of instruments developed for monitoring aerosols and gaseous constituents in the stratosphere and troposphere. SAGE III was launched on February 19, 2017 and mounted to the International Space Station (ISS) to begin its three-year mission. A detailed thermal model of the SAGE III payload, which consists of multiple subsystems, has been developed in Thermal Desktop (TD). Correlation of the thermal model is important since the payload will be expected to survive a three-year mission on ISS under varying thermal environments. Three major thermal vacuum (TVAC) tests were completed during the development of the SAGE III Instrument Payload (IP); two subsystem-level tests and a payload-level test. Additionally, a characterization TVAC test was performed in order to verify performance of a system of heater plates that was designed to allow the IP to achieve the required temperatures during payload-level testing; model correlation was performed for this test configuration as well as those including the SAGE III flight hardware. This document presents the methods that were used to correlate the SAGE III models to TVAC at the subsystem and IP level, including the approach for modeling the parts of the payload in the thermal chamber, generating pre-test predictions, and making adjustments to the model to align predictions with temperatures observed during testing. Model correlation quality will be presented and discussed, and lessons learned during the correlation process will be shared

Age-Related Success with Elective Single versus Double Blastocyst Transfer

Background. Although the optimal outcome of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a healthy singleton pregnancy, the rate of twin gestation from ART in women over the age of 35 is persistently high. Methods/Findings. We compared clinical pregnancy rates (PRs), ongoing pregnancy/live birth rates, and multiple gestation rates (MGRs) in 108 women who chose elective single blastocyst transfer (eSBT) to 415 women who chose elective double blastocyst transfer (eDBT) at a hospital-based IVF center. There was no significant difference in PR between eSBT and eDBT (57.4% versus 50.2%, P = 0.47) nor between eSBT and eDBT within each age group: <35, 35–37, 38–40, and >40. The risk of multiple gestations, however, was greatly increased between eSBT and eDBT (1.6 versus 32.4%, P < 0.00005), and this difference did not vary across age groups. Conclusion(s). Women undergoing eDBT are at uniformly high risk of multiple gestation regardless of age. eSBT appears to significantly lower the risk of multiple gestation without compromising PR

Stress and exclusion: principles and tools for inclusive design

The Journey Stress Calculator is one of the tools that Loughborough University is developing as part of the Accessibility and User Needs in Transport for Sustainable Urban Environments (AUNT-SUE) project. The ambitious aim of this tool is to model the psychological stress that 100 people would experience during any public transport journey. Assessing whole journey accessibility in this way has been born out of a fresh perspective on the causes of social exclusion. This paper provides an introduction to psychological stress theory and proposes two key principles. The exclusion transaction explains how individual instances of exclusion occur, whilst stressor elimination is the mechanism that reduces exclusion. The potential benefits of understanding exclusion in this way are discussed and it is suggested that the aim of inclusive design should be the elimination of stressors that associated with products and systems. Practical implementation of this approach would rely on the availability of techniques that can be easily integrated into design and policy making processes. The Journey Stress Calculator is one example of how this may be achieved, but simpler and more generally applicable tools are also proposed

Wigs, disguises and child's play : solidarity in teacher education

It is generally acknowledged that much contemporary education takes place within a dominant audit culture, in which accountability becomes a powerful driver of educational practices. In this culture both pupils and teachers risk being configured as a means to an assessment and target-driven end: pupils are schooled within a particular paradigm of education. The article discusses some ethical issues raised by such schooling, particularly the tensions arising for teachers, and by implication, teacher educators who prepare and support teachers for work in situations where vocational aims and beliefs may be in in conflict with instrumentalist aims. The article offers De Certeau’s concept of ‘la perruque’ to suggest an opening to playful engagement for human ends in education, as a way of contending with and managing the tensions generated. I use the concept to recover a concept of solidarity for teacher educators and teachers to enable ethical teaching in difficult times
