This approach wasfollowed in pioneering projects such as the one resulting in the historically significant program,NBSLD, described in [1]. This program also introduced some significant heat transfer andrelated modeling methods. Another important pioneering effort, the BLAST program [2], used asimilar method. This observation is also confirmed independently as reported in [3]. Thesepioneering efforts evidently did much to lead to the practically significant and important nextgeneration DOE2 program (later implemented as eQUEST) as described in [4] and elsewhere.This programming approach was followed by the

Developing professor-student rapport results in improved studentoutcomes, but connections between professors and students have been shown to be remarkablylower in STEM fields compared to other fields [1]. This unwelcoming culture within STEM thatlacks rapport building practices can be a deterrent for attracting and retaining a diverse pool oftalent into STEM degrees [4]. To begin to address the disparity in representation of Indigenous,Black/African American, and Hispanic/Latinx populations in STEM, a greater understanding ofthe reality of professor-student rapport

Using inductive and deductive methods (Silverman, 1993; Stake, 1995), interviewtranscripts were analyzed using the ideal worker conceptual framework (Kossek et al., 2021).Two themes arose: (1) STEM postdoctoral women receive messages suggesting they mustsacrifice family pursuits for an academic career, and (2) positive modeling and support forbalancing career and family are vital for retaining STEM postdoctoral women in theprofessoriate pathway. These findings illustrate a systemic conflict for STEM postdoctoralscholar women. They describe a necessity to sacrifice family desires, yet positive modeling andsupport for balancing career and family send messages suggesting it is possible to plan for both.This research

If this split is attempted to bring inapplications, then considerable effort and expertise to bridge that gap is needed [11]. If this is not executedcorrectly, the result could leave students struggling leading to unproductive learning environments [12,13]. One topic within structural knowledge ripe for additional development is PT. Why PT? This isbecause PT is infrequently covered in many curriculums [1] yet it is a popular structural gravity system inmany parts of the United States [14].

that the size of the stain doesn’t shrink or grow. This creates the thick, dark outline around acoffee stain, which is the “ring” that we see [1].The coffee-ring pattern originates from the capillary flow induced by the evaporation of the drop:liquid evaporating from the edge is replenished by liquid from the interior. The resulting edgewardflow can carry nearly all the dispersed material to the edge. As a function of time, this processexhibits a "rush-hour" effect, that is, a rapid acceleration of the edgeward flow at the final stage ofthe drying process.Evaporation induces a Marangoni flow inside a droplet. The flow, if strong, redistributes particlesback to the center of the droplet. Thus, for particles to accumulate at the edges, the

A formativeassessment can provide information to be used as feedback to modify teaching and learningactivities [1]. This type of assessment is often used to make informed changes to teaching. Theseassessments tend to be "low-stakes" as they are not always factored into final grades [2].Alternately, summative assessments are generally high-stakes assessments and are used to get afinal assessment of how much learning has taken place [3].

Theoretical concepts covered in those courses are highlycomplex and students need to put substantial effort to understand these concepts. Because of thatmost of the classroom time is usually spent to teach those theories and associated postulates.However, our experience suggests that students do not always understand those transport-relatedconcepts that are extensively encountered in
