A core lighting curriculum for university students and lighting professionals

Here, in collaboration with a group of lighting professionals, learning outcomes were defined, prioritized, organized and mapped to a three-course sequence of lighting courses within a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering degree programme. Syllabi and educational exercises were developed to support the learning outcomes – including classroom activities, homework assignments and design projects. The learning exercises balance the technical foundations of applied illuminating engineering with the artistic aspects of applied lighting design and are intended to promote significant and lasting learning by providing students with education that is useful and relevant to current lighting practice. The process for identifying and prioritizing lighting content is described, a process that could be adapted by other lighting educators to other pedagogical contexts. The syllabi and learning exercises are disseminated for reuse or adaptation, or for self-study by independent learners.

A quick guide for student-driven community genome annotation

High quality gene models are necessary to expand the molecular and genetic tools available for a target organism, but these are available for only a handful of model organisms that have undergone extensive curation and experimental validation over the course of many years. The majority of gene models present in biological databases today have been identified in draft genome assemblies using automated annotation pipelines that are frequently based on orthologs from distantly related model organisms and usually have minor or major errors. Manual curation is time consuming and often requires substantial expertise, but is instrumental in improving gene model structure and identification. Manual annotation may seem to be a daunting and cost-prohibitive task for small research communities but involving undergraduates in community genome annotation consortiums can be mutually beneficial for both education and improved genomic resources. We outline a workflow for efficient manual annotation driven by a team of primarily undergraduate annotators. This model can be scaled to large teams and includes quality control processes through incremental evaluation. Moreover, it gives students an opportunity to increase their understanding of genome biology and to participate in scientific research in collaboration with peers and senior researchers at multiple institutions.

Acquisition of an In-House X-ray Scattering Facility for Nanostructure Characterization and Student Training

This equipment grant was specifically dedicated to the development of a "state of the art" x-ray scattering facility. After a detailed competitive process a rotating anode Bruker AXS instrument was configured and purchased. The final purchase process for this equipment was very detailed and involved lengthy correspondence among Professor Schuller, the researchers in the lab, and Bruker AXS. Due to a variety of technical issues the instrument took much longer to become functional. Fortunately now the instrument is up and operational and producing state of the art data. The availability of this equipment had a major impact on a large number of young students and postdocs and on many DOE funded projects. The very strongly materials based research underway at UCSD could not be pursued without the availability of such an instrument.

Student Fellowship in Theoretical Physics at UCLA

This is the closeout report for work performed. Funds were used to support graduate student Scott Davies. A summary of work in QCD and in supergravity theories is included. Scott Davies worked on two distinct problems also in conjunction with his adviser, Zvi Bern. The first was on next-to-leading order (NLO) computations in QCD, including QCD corrections to Higgs Boson processes [1], using a six-dimensional helicity technique combined with generalized unitarity. More recently he worked together with Zvi Bern to show that in certain supergravity theories potential divergences that were suggested to be present by standard-symmetry arguments are actually not present.

Geothermal Heat Pump System for New Student Housing Project at the University at Albany Main Campus

University at Albany successfully designed, constructed and is operating a new student housing building that utilizes ground source heat pump (GSHP) for heating and cooling the entire 191,500SF building. The installed system consists of a well field with 150 bores, 450 feet deep and (189) terminal heat pump units for a total capacity of 358 Tons cooling and 4,300 MBtu/h heating. The building opened in Fall 2012. The annual energy use and cost intensity of the building, after the changes made during the first 2 years’ of operation is 57kBtu/SF/Year and $1.30/SF/Year respectively. This is approximately 50% lower than the other residential quads on campus, despite the fact that the quads are not air-conditioned. The total project cost from design through 3-years of operations is approximately $6 Million, out of which $5.7 Million is for construction of the GSHP system including the well field. The University received a $2.78 Million grant from the Department of Energy. The estimated utility cost savings, compared to a baseline building with conventional HVAC system, is approximately $185,000. The estimated simple payback, after grant incentives, is 15 years. Additionally, the project has created 8.5FTE equivalent jobs.

Student Summary of the U.S. Department of Energy Portsmouth Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for 2013

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) conducts environmental monitoring at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant Site (PORTS) on an ongoing basis. Each year, the information collected is presented in a data volume and a comprehensive publication entitled the Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER). This year, a class at Waverly High School (WHS), located in Pike County, Ohio, developed this summary report. Both the ASER and this summary report are important as they allow DOE to clearly and concisely explain our environmental monitoring programs to our many stakeholders. The information presented in this summary shows that the PORTS site near Piketon, Ohio, is safe due in part to the Department’s focus on safety. The work at DOE facilities is highly detailed and technically complex, but DOE is committed to performing each of these activities safely. DOE’s first priority is to protect the well-being of our workers, the surrounding communities, and the environment. DOE would like to offer its sincerest appreciation to the students and faculty leader at Waverly High School who worked on this summary document. DOE congratulates each of you for your effort, enthusiasm, and willingness to support this project. DOE hopes you enjoy reading the PORTS 2013 Annual Site Environmental Report Summary.

CDAC Student Report: Summary of LLNL Internship

Multiple objectives motivated me to apply for an internship at LLNL: I wanted to experience the work environment at a national lab, to learn about research and job opportunities at LLNL in particular, and to gain greater experience with code development, particularly within the realm of high performance computing (HPC). This summer I was selected to participate in LLNL's Computational Chemistry and Material Science Summer Institute (CCMS). CCMS is a 10 week program hosted by the Quantum Simulations group leader, Dr. Eric Schwegler. CCMS connects graduate students to mentors at LLNL involved in similar re- search and provides weekly seminars on a broad array of topics from within chemistry and materials science. Dr. Xavier Andrade and Dr. Erik Draeger served as my co-mentors over the summer, and Dr. Andrade continues to mentor me now that CCMS has concluded. Dr. Andrade is a member of the Quantum Simulations group within the Physical and Life Sciences at LLNL, and Dr. Draeger leads the HPC group within the Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC). The two have worked together to develop Qb@ll, an open-source first principles molecular dynamics code that was the platform for my summer research project.

Alabama Industrial Assessment Center: Training Students and Sustaining Industry (Final Report)

The overarching goal of this project is to educate and train engineering students in energy management protocols. The centerpiece of the program is achieved by delivering direct energy-management assistance to manufacturers through industrial assessments and workshops. Additional facets are achieved through report writing, formal curricular coursework, and on-line/self-directed training. This program delivered significant workforce development in the area of energy management practices. Participants in the program received hands-on experience in real-world industrial energy usage and management practices. Additionally, the industrial manufacturers received benefit of collective energy management skills of the research team towards reducing energy consumption at their sites. These activities are beneficial to the public in two ways. First, the trained participants from the program will move out into the manufacturing sector and propagate the energy management expertise they gathered during the program. This is a long-term benefit that will pay back to society over many years. Second, the manufacturers that receive energy assistance under the program realize a direct and immediate increase in their energy efficiency.
