   Abstract = {The yaw control potential of deploy able forebody strakes at
             angles of attack above the effectiveness range of
             conventional rudder has been investigated. The strakes are
             conformally stored in the forebody and, when deployed, force
             asymmetric vortex shedding from the forebody, thereby
             generating a controlled yawing moment. The concept was
             explored through low-speed wind-tunnel tests on a conical
             forebody in isolation as well as in generic fighter
             configurations. Force and moment measurements, supplemented
             with circumferential pressure and flow visualization surveys
             on an isolated forebody model, provided insights into the
             vortex mechanisms generated by forced asymmetrical
             separations and their yaw control potential at angles of
             attack up to 80. © 1987 by Dhanvada M. Rao. Published by

   Abstract = {An exploratory experimental investigation of a new device to
             control the asymmetric flowfield on forebodies at large
             angles of attack has been conducted. The device is a
             rotatable forebody tip, which varies in cross section from
             circular at its base to elliptic at its tip. The device
             itself extends over a small portion of the aircraft or
             missile forebody. The device provides two important
             improvements. First, it replaces the normally random
             behavior of the nose side force as a function of nose tip
             orientation with a predictable and generally sinusoidal
             distribution; second, the device shows promise for use as
             part of a vehicle control system to be deflected in a
             prescribed manner to provide additional directional control
             for the vehicle. The device was tested on a cone/cylinder
             model having a 10-deg semiapex angle and on a 3.0-caliber
             tangent ogive model. Data were taken with each model at a
             Reynolds number of 8.4 × 104 based on cylinder diameter and
             by a helium-bubble flow visualization technique at a
             Reynolds number of 2.4 × 104. © 1990 by the American

   Journal = {FOCUS on Learning Problems in Mathematics},
   Volume = {29},
   Number = {1},
   Year = {2007},
   Month = {January},
   Abstract = {The interpretation of histograms is a complex process
             requiring the integration of understanding about how graphs
             convey information with knowledge about how statistical
             constructs are displayed graphically. For this study,
             students in an introductory statistics class completed three
             histogram comparison tasks at the end of the course to
             assess their abilities to identify similar means and
             standard deviations and to evaluate skewness as represented
             in histograms. Fewer than 50% of the students completed all
             three tasks successfully. Common errors included inferring
             the relative value of the mean according to the center of
             the x-axis rather than the center of the distribution of
             data, identifying histograms with greater heights as those
             having the greater standard deviations, and interpreting
             skewness as a shift of the center of the distribution along
             the x-axis rather than an asymmetry of the
             distribution.},

             Are they designed to promote critical thinking and writing
             skills?},
   Journal = {Journal of College Science Teaching},
   Volume = {38},
   Number = {2},
   Pages = {60-66},
   Year = {2008},
   Abstract = {Calibrated Peer Review (CPR), an online program that
             purportedly helps students develop as writers and critical
             thinkers, is being increasingly used by science educators.
             CPR is an enticing tool since it does not require
             instructors to grade student writing, and instructors can
             adopt assignments directly from a library. Given that
             library assignments are of unknown quality, we analyzed the
             underlying pedagogies of a representative sample. We found
             that between 47-67 % of assignments are designed to promote
             critical thinking and less than a third promote the
             development of higher-order writing skills. While we support
             the CPR concept, we recommend that the current library be
             used with caution, a CPR users manual be written (with
             detailed instructions for creating high-quality writing
             assignments), and, in the future, that the CPR library be
             limited to peer-reviewed assignments.},

   Abstract = {Undergraduate theses and other capstone research projects
             are standard features of many science curricula, but
             participation has typically been limited to only the most
             advanced and highly motivated students. With the recent push
             to engage more undergraduates in research, some faculty are
             finding that their typical approach to working with thesis
             writers is less effective, given the wider diversity of
             students, or is inefficient, given the higher participation
             rates. In these situations, a more formal process may be
             needed to ensure that all students are adequately supported
             and to establish consistency in how student writers are
             mentored and assessed. To address this need, we created
             BioTAP, the Biology Thesis Assessment Protocol, a teaching
             and assessment tool. BioTAP includes a rubric that
             articulates departmental expectations for the thesis and a
             guide to the drafting-feedback-revision process that is
             modeled after the structure of professional scientific peer
             review. In this article we (a) describe BioTAP’s parts and
             the rationale behind them, (b) present the results of a
             study of the rubric’s interrater reliability, (c) describe
             how the development of BioTAP helped us create a faculty
             learning community, and (d) suggest how other departments
             and institutions can adapt BioTAP to suit their
             needs.},

   Journal = {Writing & Pedagogy},
   Volume = {2},
   Number = {2},

   Abstract = {Professionals routinely ask colleagues for feedback on
             drafts of their written work, and the feedback they receive
             frequently includes suggestions for changes in wording. By
             convention, professionals are free to appropriate these
             suggestions without citation; the suggested words or phrases
             become, in effect, the author’s own in a transaction this
             essay terms a textual gift. In contrast, guidelines and
             policies on plagiarism for student writers are typically
             phrased in ways that would appear to forbid students from
             accepting textual gifts or to require that they use citation
             in doing so — both of which interfere with teaching
             students how to solicit and make use of feedback in a
             professional manner. Centered on a case from the author’s
             own experience, this essay explores the complexities of
             textual gifts in academic settings through a look at the
             language of institutional policies, handbooks on writing,
             and online guides to citation practices, as well as existing
             scholarship on plagiarism. The essay argues that new
             scholarship is needed to guide both instructors and
             institutions, and maps out some potential avenues for this
             work.},

   Abstract = {The past few years have seen a steady rise in the number of
             health science journals using plagiarism detection software
             to screen submitted manuscripts. While there is widespread
             agreement about the need to guard against plagiarism and
             duplicate publication, the use of such tools has sparked
             debate about text recycling—the reuse of material from
             one’s prior publications in a new manuscript. Many who
             have published on the topic consider all uses of text
             recycling anathema. Others argue that some uses of recycling
             are unavoidable and sometimes even beneficial for readers.
             Unfortunately, much of this discourse now merely repeats
             dogmatic assertions. I argue that progress can be made by
             acknowledging three points: First, citation standards for
             research writing in the health sciences will not mirror
             those of the humanities. Second, while it is impossible to
             draw a definitive line between appropriate and inappropriate
             uses of text recycling, some uses of the practice lie
             clearly on the legitimate side. Third, the needs of editors
             for information regarding recycled text are different from
             those of readers. Ultimately, calls for rewording and
             citation as alternatives or fixes for text recycling are
             unlikely to prove satisfactory to either readers or
             editors.},

             approach to providing students in an introductory
             engineering course with feedback on drafts of course writing
             projects. In the Volunteer Expert Reader (VER) approach,
             students are matched with university alumni or employees who
             have the background to give feedback from the perspective of
             the target audience for their writing. Data suggest that VER
             can increase student engagement in engineering course
             writing assignments and may improve the quality of student
             writing. Factors most affecting successful implementation
             include whether student participation is required or
             optional and whether readers are matched with individual
             students or with a student team. Other factors may include
             the type of assignment, whether volunteers' backgrounds are
             a good fit for the type of writing, and whether readers can
             respond to student drafts in a timely fashion.},

   Abstract = {Text recycling, the reuse of material from one's own
             previously published writing in a new text without
             attribution, is a common academic writing practice that is
             not yet well understood. While some studies of text
             recycling in academic writing have been published, no
             previous study has focused on scholars' attitudes toward
             text recycling. This article presents results from a survey
             of over 300 journal editors and editorial board members from
             86 top English-language journals in 16 different academic
             fields regarding text recycling in scholarly articles.
             Responses indicate that a large majority of academic
             gatekeepers believe text recycling is allowable in some
             circumstances; however, there is a lack of clear consensus
             about when text recycling is or is not appropriate. Opinions
             varied according to the source of the recycled material, its
             structural location and rhetorical purpose, and conditions
             of authorship conditions-as well as by the level of
             experience as a journal editor. Our study suggests the need

             often reuse material from their completed documents in
             producing new documents. While this practice, known as text
             recycling (or self-plagiarism), is a debated issue in
             publishing and research ethics, little is known about
             researchers’ beliefs about what constitutes appropriate
             practice. This article presents results of from an
             exploratory, survey-based study on beliefs and attitudes
             toward text recycling among STEM “experts” (faculty
             researchers) and “novices” (graduate students and post
             docs). While expert and novice researchers are fairly
             consistent in distinguishing between text recycling and
             plagiarism, there is considerable disagreement about
             appropriate text recycling practice.},

   Abstract = {Text recycling, sometimes called "self-plagiarism," is the
             reuse of material from one's own existing documents in a
             newly created work. Over the past decade, text recycling has
             become an increasingly debated practice in research ethics,
             especially in science and technology fields. Little is
             known, however, about researchers' actual text recycling
             practices. We report here on a computational analysis of
             text recycling in published research articles in STEM
             disciplines. Using a tool we created in R, we analyze a
             corpus of 400 published articles from 80 federally funded
             research projects across eight disciplinary clusters.
             According to our analysis, STEM research groups frequently
             recycle some material from their previously published
             articles. On average, papers in our corpus contained about
             three recycled sentences per article, though a minority of
             research teams (around 15%) recycled substantially more
             content. These findings were generally consistent across
             STEM disciplines. We also find evidence that researchers
             superficially alter recycled prose much more often than
             recycling it verbatim. Based on our findings, which suggest
             that recycling some amount of material is normative in STEM
             research writing, researchers and editors would benefit from
             more appropriate and explicit guidance about what
             constitutes legitimate practice and how authors should
             report the presence of recycled material.},

             Discussion) format is common in scientific writing, it may
             not currently be as ubiquitous as often thought. We
             undertook a systematic, corpus-based study of primary
             section headings in research articles across a range of STEM
             disciplines to investigate adherence to the IMRAD structure
             in relation to type of study (computational, empirical, or
             theoretical) and field. We identified four categories of
             structure: IMRAD, IMRAD+ (IMRAD with additional sections
             and/or different order), Nested IMRAD (multi-part studies),
             and Non-IMRAD. Papers in biology mainly used an IMRAD
             format, while less than half in engineering or social
             sciences did so. While empirical papers tended to use IMRAD
             formats, most computational papers did not. Thus, our
             findings show that IMRAD is a common but not universal
             structure for contemporary scientific writing. Awareness of
             these differences should encourage teachers of scientific
             and technical writing and scholars of writing studies to pay
             closer attention to the actual structural forms used in
             different STEM disciplines and with different methodological
             types of research studies.},

             essential components of scientific writing. Although
             scientific writing textbooks and guides often contain
             information on how to design such visuals, little has been
             written on how to effectively discuss those visuals within
             the text. This article offers a novel heuristic for teaching
             students how to effectively execute these “passages about
             visuals” in a way that is both conceptually simple enough
             to be understood by novices yet rich enough to accommodate
             the complexity of expert scientific writing. The heuristic
             consists of a set of “moves”: announce, orient, observe,
             and explain. Following an explanation of the moves, readers
             are walked through a variety of examples showing the moves
             in context and noting the different ways the moves are
             arranged and executed in published scientific research
             articles. Pedagogical implications and approaches for using
             the heuristic in the classroom are then discussed.},

   Abstract = {First-year writing (FYW) courses can play a pivotal role in
             helping students move from high school to college-level
             writing. Yet at my institution, about a fourth of our
             students take required "first-year seminars" — courses
             with substantive writing assignments taught by faculty from
             across the college — before FYW, and even more take them
             simultaneously. Regardless of our curricular intentions,
             many of our students first face the transition to college
             writing not in FYW but in other courses. Unfortunately, in
             contrast to the rich variety of instructional materials
             designed for FYW, there is not much suited to students in
             these kinds of courses. So I was excited to see Keith
             Hjortshoj’s newly revised and expanded Transition to
             College Writing; the concept of the book suggested a good
             fit for students in these courses, and I admire The Elements
             of Teaching Writing (2004), the guide for teachers of
             Writing in the Disciplines (WID) courses that Hjortshoj
             coauthored with Katherine Gottschalk. A combination
             self-help guide and didactic "rhetoric," Transition begins
             with matters of process — note taking, reading, drafting,
             and so on — before moving to specifics of focus,
             organization, claim making, and citation. I particularly
             like the way Transition is built around discussions of
             common but generally unproductive writing and reading
             practices. Yet, despite the publisher’s claims on the
             jacket that the book addresses "the essential reading and
             writing strategies students need to succeed in courses
             across the curriculum," much of the advice and most of the
             examples do not adequately represent scholarly practices
             beyond humanities and qualitative social science
             disciplines.},

   Abstract = {Like most scientists, chemists frequently have reason to
             reuse some materials from their own published articles in
             new ones, especially when producing a series of closely
             related papers. Text recycling, the reuse of material from
             one’s own works, has become a source of considerable
             confusion and frustration for researchers and editors alike.
             While text recycling does not pose the same level of ethical
             concern as matters such as data fabrication or plagiarism,
             it is much more common and complicated. Much of the
             confusion stems from a lack of clarity and consistency in
             publisher guidelines and publishing contracts. Matters are
             even more complicated when manuscripts are coauthored by
             researchers residing in different countries. This chapter
             demonstrates the nature of these problems through an
             analysis of a set of documents from a single publisher, the
             American Chemical Society (ACS). The ACS was chosen because
             it is a leading publisher of chemistry research and because
             its guidelines and publishing contracts address text
             recycling in unusual detail. The present analysis takes
             advantage of this detail to show both the importance of
             clear, thoughtfully designed text recycling policies and the
             problems that can arise when publishers fail to bring their
             various documents into close alignment.},
