Scale-Up of Latex Reactors and Coagulators: A Combined CFD-PBE Approach
The successful production of a wide range of polymer latex products relies on the ability to control the rates of particle nucleation, growth and coagulation in order to maintain control over the particle size distribution (PSD). The development of advanced population balance models (PBMs) has …

Experimental Adsorption and Reaction Studies on Transition Metal Oxides Compared to DFT Simulations
… energy of -35.6 ±2.1 kJ/mol on terrace sites. PBE+U gives a more reasonable structural result than PBE, and the adsorption energy obtained by PBE+U and DFT-D3 Becke-Johnson gives excellent agreement with the experimentally obtained ΔE<sub>ads</sub> for adsorption at Mn²⁺ terrace sites. The …

A data-driven framework to support resilient and sustainable early design
… alternatives. Performance-based engineering (PBE) is a probabilistic approach to quantify buildings performance against natural hazards in terms of decision metrics such as repair cost and functionality loss. Therefore, PBE can remarkably improve early design by informing the designer …

How And Why Design Education Instructors Use Place-Based Education In Their Courses
<p>Place-based education (PBE) is a pedological approach that takes learning outside of the classroom into the local community. Allowing students to not only explore their physical environments but also the history, people, and culture of a place. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological …

The Impact of Place-Based Education Professional Development on Faculty Identity and Perceptions of Nature-Culture Dichotomies
… analyzes how implementing place-based education (PBE) in undergraduate coursework shapes faculty identity narratives and nature–culture positionalities across conceptual lenses of past, present, and future. Three faculty members at a regional Mississippi university engaged in a PBE professional …
