The objective of this paper is to provide information from multiple perspectives on the current state of the practice with regard to using recycled materials and recycling agents (RAs) in asphalt concrete mixtures. This information was collected through a survey of U.S. transportation agencies and RA suppliers combined with a search of RA-related specifications and pilot projects previously constructed. Moreover, a case study describing the Virginia Department of Transportation’s experience with RAs provides a tangible example of how at least one agency is approaching the potential implementation of these technologies. This practice review was achieved by documenting the experience, lessons learned, and best practices of multiple asphalt experienced contractors and asphalt binder suppliers in the Virginia area. This paper follows a similar survey conducted in 2014 as part of NCHRP 09-58 and provides a second look at the use of RAs across North America. Not all state departments of transportation have experience with using RAs. Factors preventing the use of RAs included specification limitations, lack of expertise in processing recycled materials, supporting data, and negative prior experiences. Developing a performance-based testing framework is mandatory for the successful use of RAs. In general, good and frequent communication with the RA supplier is critical and necessary during the planning stages, the production of mixtures, and the continuous quality control by the supplier to resolve issues when they arise. Finally, a strong quality control and quality assurance-testing program should be implemented to ensure that materials meet the properties needed to produce a good-performing mixture.

Process Failure

This chapter traces the origins of my research on corporate governance and describes the pitfalls and challenges that arose early in my career. Many of these pitfalls are characteristic of conducting interdisciplinary research more generally. They include criticism from discipline-based scholars, special challenges in negotiating the peer review process, failure to articulate a coherent theoretical framework in individual articles, and the struggle to articulate a coherent identity as a scholar. The lessons learned should apply broadly to conducting interdisciplinary research on virtually any topic in organization theory and strategic management.

This chapter focuses on multiple perspectives to view children's creativity and to offer a practical guide to implement Gardner's multiple intelligence to music teaching and learning. This chapter offers a theoretical framework for music teachers and learners of music to understand the process of offering musical activities in which everyone may participate. Peer-to-peer learning and sharing musical enjoyment are the heart of music for everyone to participate, to build a musical community. The music itself entails getting along with others and especially dealing with differences. By nature, the music contains the elements of listening to and engaging with different voices, timbre, texture, and world culture. Music invites everyone to participate via various entry points by playing, singing, dancing, and in any other art form. This chapter proposes musical activities and creative ideas that best represent the shared sense of learning from each other and to build a musical community for everyone to participate.

Massively multi-player games (MMPGs) have the potential to enable training at a level of participation, intensity, and fidelity previously unrealized. As a first step towards the implementation of automated performance measurement technology for MMPGs, we explored an approach to developing training and assessment of team performance during urban infantry operations simulated within the Asymmetric Warfare Team Training Technology (AW-VTT) under development by Forterra Systems and RDECOM-STTC. Our method entailed (1) mapping a theoretical framework to established Army doctrine, (2) mapping doctrinal descriptions to specific activities within a simple yet operationally-valid scenario, and (3) developing rule-based descriptions of these activities and formally representing them within finite state networks to validate their consistency and completeness. We then enacted the scenario within AW-VTT to demonstrate the environment's capability for simulating the behaviors required for assessment of teamwork in this scenario. We describe this approach and discuss lessons learned.

Youth Literature

Early youth literature focused almost wholly on didacticism, a sort of social justice of puritanical nature, moralizing youth on the straight and narrow. Today's “straight and narrow,” however, is not as clear cut, and social justice exploration through diverse youth literature is a necessary journey for modern youth. This journey steers students into knowledge about multiple cultures, races, gender roles. The author explores the history and inception of early literature for youth in this chapter, then explores ways in which modern issues may be explored in the secondary classroom through projects which both foster student engagement, as well as bring about potential class and community activism, further promoting social justice to, ideally, erase prejudice, one book at a time. While the author uses a few specific books as examples, many books fit these roles and would be relevant to these types of studies and projects.

Extant literature illustrates that complementary efforts, such as Entrepreneurially Minded Learning, add an important dimension to the training of the next generation of engineers and innovators, providing them with multiple perspectives and a pathway for linking technical concepts to societal challenges. Nationwide initiatives, such as the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), have focused specifically on infusing Entrepreneurially Minded Learning into curriculum content and delivery, training both faculty and students to have the know-why in addition to the know-how of engineering topics. KEEN has established a framework that supplements engineering skills already taught in classrooms with outcomes that support the development of an entrepreneurial mindset. The framework is rooted in fostering the 3Cs of entrepreneurial mindset: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value. In this study, we contribute a series of concepts infusing KEEN-inspired modules into a three-course sequence in Dynamics and Controls. We provide an overview on each of the modules, highlighting the KEEN framework objectives. We present postcourse student questionnaire responses illustrating student perception of entrepreneurial mindset and the 3Cs as it relates to engineering and addressing technological challenges. We provide lessons learned and sufficient detail of all modules for replication in other Dynamics and Controls course sequences as well as supporting student data.

Case study research facilitates the in-depth, real-life exploration of complex phenomena from multiple perspectives. It is a well-established approach to deal with the complexities involved in palliative care research. Case studies are not aligned to a single epistemological paradigm but are defined by the identification of the case to be studied. This article examines the methodological issues of carrying out constructivist Stakian multi-case study research. It is based on the lessons learned from our case study exploring the experiences of advanced breast cancer in Mauritania, a resource-limited, Muslim majority context. Stake provides suggestions and boundaries for the case study researcher, but there is no blueprint available for a Stakian multi-case study. The researcher is encouraged to employ their creativity, intuition and ingenuity. We exercised this freedom by incorporating mixed methods of data collection within our constructivist paradigm. We resourcefully revisited the identity of the case and embedded mini-cases, we rejected traditional views of triangulation in favor of crystallization, and we employed assorted approaches to guide and enrich our within- and cross-case analyses to formulate overarching themes and multi-case assertions. Stakian case study should not be limited to constructivist researchers. We encourage any case study researchers to consider this approach, especially those who wish to employ their intuition and ingenuity to understand and describe experiences and phenomena.
