This chapter uses the literature on student retention in online programs as a foundation to present a case study illustrating how a well-designed, affordable and high-quality online program substantially increased access, retention rates, and progression to graduation. The case study covers how, by using the principles of designing with the end in mind. The University of Texas at Arlington College of Nursing and Health Innovation (CONHI) developed and implemented a highly successful, award-winning online Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) completion program for registered nurses (RN) who had entered the profession through an associate degree program. This RN-to-BSN program was specifically designed to overcome issues known to impact enrollment and completion in nursing programs by leveraging technology and the best practices for online education. The case study also explores how best practices in online education were incorporated into the development of the RN-to-BSN program.

Manage Innovation

Background: The theoretical background of this article is on the model developed of knowledge transfer between universities and the industry in order to access the best practices and adapt to the study case in question regarding the model of promoting and manage innovation within the universities that best contribute with solution and projects to the business field. Objective: The development of a knowledge transfer model is the main goal of this article, supported in the best practices known and, also, to reflect in the main measurement definitions to evaluate the High Education Institution performance in this area. Methods: The method for this article development is the case study method because it allows the fully understanding of the dynamics present within a single setting, and the subject examined to comprehend what is being done and what the dynamics mean. The case study does not have a data collection method, as it is a research that may rely on multiple sources of evidence and data which should be converged. Results: Since it’s a case study this article present a fully description of the model proposed and implemented for the knowledge transfer process of the institution. Conclusion: Still in a discussion phase, this article presents as conclusions some questions and difficulties that could be pointed out, as well as some good perspectives of performed activity developed.

Popol Vuh

AbstractThe digitization and online dissemination of the Popol Vuh, a historical indigenous knowledge work, poses distinct ethical, legal, intellectual, and technological concerns for humanities researchers and information practitioners seeking to study and digitally curate works through a decolonized consciousness. Ongoing debates on data sovereignty, the repatriation of cultural artifacts, and cultural appropriation question the ability of researchers and information practitioners to effectively steward indigenous knowledge works in a digital environment. While consensus on best practices for the postcolonial digital library or archive remain to be established, information inequity continues to persist, effacing indigenous knowledge, languages, and content from the knowledge society. The following case study will discuss the results of a 10-year multi-institutional initiative to curate, repatriate, and steward the reproduction of an indigenous knowledge work online. From the vantage point of the library, the case study will explore the project’s successes, failures, and the work left to be done.

Shallow Wells

Abstract In Staatsolie, as of December 2013, there were 1549 shallow wells from its 3 oilfields. One thousand one hundred and thirty (1130) of these were in the Tambaredjo field (TAM field). In the 3 decades of its operations, the prime mechanism for lifting the 15.6oAPI crude to surface has been with progressive cavity pumps (PCP). The down hole pumps are surface driven and installed at an average true vertical depth (TVD) of 1000 ft. Oilfield best practices are employed in the design, installation and operation of the production strings and pumps. In the period 2008-2012 an average 580 down hole failures occurred annually of which 54% was caused by tubing leaks, with a repetitive frequency of up to 6 faillures per year on individual wells. Visual inspection of internal tubing's have shown that the principal failure mechanism stems from rod tubing wear (abrasion caused by the rotational motion) exacerbated by the corrosiveness of the produced fluids. Most of the tubing wear occurs at the tubing body in direct contact with the rod couplings. It is found that most tubing leakages (up to 70%) occur on the lower part of the tubing string above the pump. Previous installation of shorter rods above the pump, which is causing a high eccentrically movement of the rod string, also increased the occurrences of these failures directly above the pump. In an effort to reduce these tubing failures, an eight-well pilot program was commenced to install rod guides in wells with the highest failure rate and to install a sucker rod of 25 feet right above the pump. These eight wells were selected based on their high tubing failure rates. Although the program is still being conducted, preliminary results thus far have been quite promising in these wells. In four (4) wells, the work-over frequency was reduced from average 5 to 3 jobs per annum resulting in 40% reduction. The remaining 4 wells are still producing after an average 5-month period without any tubing failures. This paper presents the approach and strategy used to minimize rod-tubing wear in shallow vertical well applications based on the outcome of the pilot test.

Engineering college libraries play an important role in imparting quality education to the undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers of engineering. This study aimed at frequency of library usage, the extent of use of library resources and services by the students and faculty. The level of satisfaction against library resources and service, the problems faced while using the library resources and services. A questionnaire was randomly given to 100 students and faculty of the college. A total of 92 filled in questionnaires returned to researcher. i.e. the response rate is 92%. It is suggested that college library should take initiative to counter problems expressed by users to provide effective and efficient library and information services to the clientele and it would in turn help faculty, students.
