When the Journey is as Important as the Destination: Time-Averaged Retention as an Alternate Measure of Student Engagement and Program Impact

University retention and completion rates underestimate true levels Saturday Night Live of student participation because of their reliance on measurements taken at commencement (or census date) and end of a program.As a result, these statistical snapshots miss what happens in between, failing to capture the true reach of the teaching and learning p

Wave loadings on a vertical cylinder due to heave motion

Wave forces and moments due to scattering and radiation for a vertical circular cylinder heaving in water of finite depth are derived analytically.These Optics are derived from the total velocity potential which can be decomposed as two velocity potentials; one due to scattering in the presence of an incident wave on fixed structure (diffraction pr

Flexible Riser Monitoring Using Hybrid Magnetic/Optical Strain Gage Techniques through RLS Adaptive Filtering

Flexible riser is a class of flexible pipes which is used to connect subsea pipelines to floating offshore installations, such as FPSOs (floating production/storage/off-loading unit) and SS (semisubmersible) platforms, in oil and gas production.Flexible risers are multilayered pipes typically comprising an inner flexible metal carcass surrounded by
