‘In-house’ journals and the scholarship of teaching and learning – thoughts from a discipline that is not a discipline

This paper offers a reflection on the practical and theoretical issues involved in the development of an in-house journal that publishes work in the area of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL).  While proceeding from the experience of running one such journal in the context of a research-intensive institution, the paper aims to offer a broader view on the impacts, both positive and otherwise, which such institutionally focused publications might make on the field of SoTL as a whole

Follow-up services for improving long-term outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: Our main objective is to assess the effectiveness of follow-up services for ICU survivors that aim to identify and address unmet health needs related to the ICU period. We aim to assess the effectiveness in relation to health-related quality of life, mortality, depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, physical function, cognitive function, ability to return to work or education and adverse events. Our secondary objectives are, in general, to examine both the various ways that follow-up services are provided and any major influencing factors. Specifically, we aim to explore: the effectiveness of service organisation (physician versus nurse led, face to face versus remote, timing of follow-up service); possible differences in services related to country (developed versus developing country); and whether participants had delirium within the ICU setting

The technical and economic benefits of utility sponsored renewable energy integration

In recent years, Australian energy consumers have begun to install large amounts of distributed generation (DG), particularly residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This rapid increase in DG, has led to the flow of power throughout low voltage (LV) networks to become bidirectional. This reverse power flow, along with the intermittent nature of solar PV and the inability for distribution network service providers (DNSPs) to control where this DG is installed, has led to voltage regulation issues throughout LV networks. Along with solar PV, energy storage (ES) is also becoming more prevalent among energy consumers. The combination of solar PV and ES allows customers to become more energy independent, relying less on utilising energy from the grid. This poses a major risk to DNSPs who rely on the income generated from customers based on kWh sales to build and maintain network infrastructure. This paper presents a coordinated reactive power control scheme to reduce voltage rise along LV distribution feeders with high penetrations of solar PV. The value of privately investing in solar PV and ES for the years 2015 and 2020 from the perspective of an average residential customer is determined. Finally, a business model is proposed outlining how utility sponsored residential solar PV and ES could be implemented by a DNSP. The business model is then evaluated from a technical and economic standpoint

Development of the Orion Crew Module Static Aerodynamic Database

This work describes the process of developing the nominal static aerodynamic coefficients and associated uncertainties for the Orion Crew Module for Mach 8 and below. The database was developed from wind tunnel test data and computational simulations of the smooth Crew Module geometry, with no asymmetries or protuberances. The database covers the full range of Reynolds numbers seen in both entry and ascent abort scenarios. The basic uncertainties were developed as functions of Mach number and total angle of attack from variations in the primary data as well as computations at lower Reynolds numbers, on the baseline geometry, and using different flow solvers. The resulting aerodynamic database represents the Crew Exploration Vehicle Aerosciences Project's best estimate of the nominal aerodynamics for the current Crew Module vehicle
