United States highway agencies use best-value procurement with a fixed price to select design builders. This method enables public agencies to choose the best proposer by assessing several factors in addition to price. Theoretically, considering cost…

In this work, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations coupled with continuum-based theoretical analysis to study the coalescence dynamics of two equal-sized nanobubbles (NBs). We first derive a governing equation for the evolution of the capillary…

This study compared the relative efficacy of two strategies designed to mitigate psychological reactance in health campaigns by using reminders of behavioral autonomy: preemptive scripts, which appear before the appeal, and restoration postscripts,…

Objective – While library literature contains many studies examining faculty perceptions of the value of librarian-led information literacy (IL)instruction, there is little evidence regarding IL instruction practices of disciplinary faculty…

The purpose of this study was to explore how campus internationalization efforts in higher education impact student learning through the lens of the student’s perspective and experience. Grounded in transformative learning theory and guided by a…

Why catalog objects? We catalog objects in order to make them discoverable in our libraries’ catalogs, so that our library users may find, identify, select, and obtain these resources just as efficiently as any other types of resources. Many of our…
