Understanding Factors that Influence Anesthesia Handoffs
PI Elizabeth Lazzara
CO-I Joseph Keebler
Communication is an essential aspect of quality patient care in modern medicine, yet mishaps in communication during handoffs (i.e., the transition of a patient between two or more providers) happen frequently. The purpose of this project was to understand the factors that influence handoffs between anesthesia providers and clinicians within the post anesthesia care unit.

The Effects of Carry-on Baggage on Aircraft Evacuation Efficiency
PI Sang-A Lee
Overall, two studies were conducted to provide an outline of the factors that affect and affected by carry-on baggage. Study 1 used an agent-based model, AnyLogic, to simulate the aircraft evacuation model of an A380. The model was validated, and a two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted to examine the effects of the percentage of passengers evacuating with carry-on baggage and exit selection choices on the total evacuation time. The simulation results suggested that the mean evacuation time for 0% was significantly lower than 50% and 80%. The mean evacuation time for the shortest queue choice was also lower than the closest exit choice. Study 2 used an expanded theory of planned behavior (TPB) to determine the factors that affect passengers’ intentions to evacuate with carry-on baggage. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM) were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that attitude was the significant determinant of passengers’ intention to evacuate with carry-on baggage.

Material Selections and Manufacturing Methods for Multipurpose Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs)
PI John Leishman
CO-I Trevor Perrott
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) issues regulations defining the Design/Build/Fly (DBF) Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SUAV) design competition. This program centers on exploring both new and traditional aircraft design and manufacturing approaches for SUAVs that are optimized for the missions specified by the DBF competition. In-depth material selection studies will be executed and documented as part of the detail design phase of the aircraft. The aircraft’s mission-specific structural strength-to-weight ratio will be studied and optimized.

Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence (VLRCOE)
PI John Leishman
CO-I Ebenezer Gnanamanickam
CO-I Kaijus Henri Palm
CO-I Guillermo Mazzilli
Ship airwakes are the unsteady turbulent flows that are generated by the earths atmospheric boundary layer (the wind colloquially) blowing over a ship. These flow fields are highly turbulent, not easy to predict and couple with a similar wake flow field generated by a rotorcraft operating close the the ship. This coupling as expected is extremely difficult to predict let along faithfully simulate in a flight simulator. This coupling can have catastrophic consequences for the operation or rotorcraft operating in the vicinity of Naval ships.

Effects of Institutional Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic on Undergraduate Faculty and Students Across STEM Disciplines
PI Chelsea LeNoble
CO-I Allison Kwesell
The project's specific aims are to: (1) examine teaching and learning experiences of undergraduate faculty and students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) examine the effects of faculty and student reactions on undergraduate STEM teaching and learning; and (3) leverage findings to develop actionable recommendations for colleges and universities to best prepare and protect their faculty, staff, and students and the integrity of undergraduate STEM education.

Observations and Analysis of Wave-Induced Constituent Transport in the Mesopause Region
PI Zhuangren Liu
Vertical constituent transport is a fundamental atmospheric process that has profound effects on the chemistry and composition of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). The contributions of gravity wave to the transport and its impact on the composition and structure of the mesopause region is being investigated using a combination of theory, observations and atmospheric chemical models.
