description: Digital textbooks are becoming more commonplace as laptops and tablets have become ubiquitous, yet many students still express a preference for print. The majority of ebooks, meanwhile, are still a "digital picture of a book," more portable, perhaps, than printed books but with few other advantages. The future holds tremendous promise, however, for ebooks and digital textbooks to engage students with interactive and multimedia elements and to help professors with automated assessment. This session examines the evolution of electronic texts, exploring innovative and interactive ebooks, gamification, transmedia, and digital textbooks, using examples from a variety of disciplines including literature, humanities, and STEM. Considering the latest research in the science of learning and the brain, we'll discover how digital texts using multimedia, interactivity, and computer-scored quizzes hold the potential to improve learning and student outcomes. Assessing the latest scholarship on online learning, we'll analyze the intersection of digital textbooks and MOOCs, examine trends toward low- or no-cost Open Educational Resources, appraise texts with automated assessment and analytics on student interaction with texts, review opportunities for enhanced teacher/student collaboration and social reading, and consider the future of the book.

description: We adopt a superspace/supergraph formalism to pursue the investigation of the structure of one- and two-loop divergences in the frame of the minimal O'Raifeartaigh model that realizes the F-term spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The linear delta expansion(LDE) procedure is introduced and renormalization is carried out up to the second order in the LDE expansion parameter. In agreement with the nonrenormalization theorem for the (chiral/antichiral) matter potential of ${\mathcal N}=1, \ D=4$ supersymmetry, our explicit supergraph calculations confirm that only the Kähler potential is actually renomalized.

Promoting Student Interaction in a Fully-Online Program: Toward New Rules of Classroom Engagement
Creators: name: Horsford, Sonya
name: Kuo, Ying-Ying
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2015
Subjects: technology-enhanced; engaged learning

description: The purpose of this presentation is to describe efforts to promote student interaction in a newly-launched, fully-online graduate program in education leadership and student perspectives concerning such interactions in the online environment.

In fall 2014, the Division of Education Leadership enrolled a cohort of 21 students in its first fully-online Master of Educational Administration (MEd) program, "a licensure program that prepares students to become school and district leaders and administrators." The program's introductory course, EDLE 620: Organizational Theory and Leadership Development, through the use of integrated multimedia technology, encouraged class and small group discussion, small group graded assignments, and a range of collaborative group activities designed to promote student interaction. Such engagement is particularly critical in this program, given the expectation that aspiring and practicing educational leaders can participate in, facilitate, and initiate collaborative learning and school improvement teams. These strategies and techniques can be used in a variety of class settings and disciplines.

An end-of-course survey revealed student satisfaction in learning but concern about interaction with their peers and the challenges associated with group work in the online environment. A presentation and discussion of both qualitative and quantitative survey data reveal opportunities to develop new rules of classroom engagement for online courses and programs requiring extensive student interaction and collaboration.

Teaching Students for Transformation: How to Effectively Facilitate Difficult Class Discussions and Promote Positive Shifts in Consciousness in Students
Creators: name: Cromwell, Alex

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2015
Subjects: mindfulness/well-being; engaged learning

description: Shifts in consciousness are at the heart of conflict resolution practice and central to facilitating transformative learning experiences. As such, there are a number of conflict resolution principles and tools designed for initiating these shifts that promote an engaged learning environment with active and constructive classroom discussions and activities. The presenters will demonstrate ways to help students learn to suspend judgment and maintain curiosity when dealing with challenging issues by creating a space where they feel comfortable to question themselves, think critically, and participate in meaningful conversations. This practice is essential, because students experience shifts through discourse. In particular, we focus on the role of mindfulness, reflection, managing emotions, listening skills, perspective taking, nonviolent communication, and learning how to engage in difficult conversations. In addition, the presenters will describe their experiences co-teaching a course emphasizing these practices, connecting them to transformative learning, and giving concrete examples of students benefiting in their learning from practicing these tools and principles.

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2015
Subjects: technology-enriched; digital tools; student writing; social media; pedagogy; reflective teaching practice

description: In September 2014, Dr. JosÃ© Bowen visited George Mason University and delivered an excellent workshop and keynote lecture. During his presentations, Dr. Bowen emphasized the many ways in which the transmission of knowledge is different from the evaluative skills that teachers hope students will learn in their courses. Content is not enough, he emphasized, as students can "and do" seek out content knowledge online. Deep learning is the product of encouraging students to think and engage, and those abilities are something that students can develop in the classroom with faculty guidance.

According to both Dr. Bowen and the Council of Writing Program Administrators, writing is one way to encourage students to engage with material on a deeper, more meaningful level. This presentation will discuss the implementation of Dr. Bowen's workshop presentation in an ENGH 302 Multidisciplinary Advanced Writing course, including its benefits and drawbacks. The presentation will conclude by offering a research-informed consideration of writing instruction as "recursive," where "much like our students' writing work" constant revision and reworking is a way to inform our broader pedagogies. The strategies in this session can be applied to any course with a writing assignments, whether formal or informal writing.

The polaron-like nature of an electron coupled to phonons
Creators: name: Li, Zhou

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When an electron interacts with phonons, the electron can exhibit either free electron-like or polaron-like properties. The latter tends to occur for very strong coupling, and results in a phonon cloud accompanying the electron as it moves, thus raising its mass considerably. We summarize this behaviour for the Holstein model in one, two and three dimensions, and note that the crossover occurs for fairly low coupling strengths compared to those attributed to real materials exhibiting conventional superconductivity.

Bone Pins from Crib Mound
Creators: name: Ulrich, Elsie
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: bone pins
subject: Crib Mound

description: Crib Mound is a shell mound in Spencer County, Indiana that was occupied over many thousands of years and has yielded a wealth of artifacts. Over the many decades the site suffered from erosion by the adjacent Ohio River which has caused a lot of destruction to the site. The Crib Mound site has also been heavily looted by collectors, so most artifacts recovered from the site do not have any context. For this project I looked at bone pins from the Crib Mound site. The pins are from the Charlie Lacer and Art Gerber collections which are housed in the USI archaeology lab. Both men were artifact collectors. Bone pins are either hairpins or clothing items that are made from carved animal bones. They are thought to date to the late Middle Archaic period, circa 4000 B.C. Some are decorated with a variety of carved designs. There are also a variety of head shapes on these pins, which have been given various names such as “T-top, and “Crutch top,” by archaeologists. This project is an extension of previous work done by Andrew White and Richard Jefferies. White’s belief was that square-top and fishtail types were earlier in time, while the T-top and crutch-top were later types. My work was to test if White’s hypothesis was correct and to also see if there was any overlap with decorations and head types on the bone pins. In my study there were 159 head sections, 33 mid-sections, 156 tips, 4 nearly whole pins, 39 whole pins, and 1 unidentifiable portion.

description: Herausforderungen entlang der maritimen Transportkette erfordern einen bewussten und strukturierten Umgang mit Stakeholdern. Aus diesem Grund wurde der Stakeholder Management Cycle (SMC) zur Anwendung entlang der maritimen Containertransportkette entwickelt. Der SMC ist ein Analyse- und Managementinstrument, das Transparenz hinsichtlich relevanter Stakeholder erzeugt, um adäquate Strategien für deren Einbindung in Veränderungsprozesse abzuleiten. Eine beispielhafte Anwendung des SMC für Leercontainerlogistik im Untersuchungsraum Hamburg – Ostsee bestätigt dessen Konsistenz und zeigt, dass die Anwendung des Stakeholder-Ansatzes Potential zur Verbesserung von Veränderungsprozessen entlang der maritimen Containertransportkette aufweist.
description: Challenges along the maritime transport chain indicate the need for conscious and structured dealing with stakeholders. A specific framework – the stakeholder management cycle (SMC) – was therefore developed. The SMC is a tool enabling analysis of stakeholders in terms of relevance, respective processes, attitude and influence but also for managing them by providing guidance on their involvement in change processes. Application of the SMC for empty container logistics in the Hamburg – Baltic Sea Region study area proved its consistency and showed that the SMC has the potential to improve change processes along maritime container transport chains by applying the stakeholder approach.

description: Teaching Hidden History is a hybrid, project-based history course combining in-person meetings conducted on two campuses (George Mason University and Virginia Tech) through 4-VA telepresence rooms.

The session will provide a hands-on exploration of the Teaching Hidden History course and will share results from the summer 2015 pilot course. Developed for graduate students in history and social studies education across two Virginia campuses (George Mason University and Virginia Tech), Teaching Hidden History guides students through the creation of online history modules based on collaborative historical research and inquiry-based pedagogy. In addition to research and instructional skills, students learn how digital tools can support teaching and learning history and gain familiarity with the open-source software platform on which the modules are constructed. These principles can be applied to courses in other disciplines.

description: The final analysis of the experiment determining both components of the transverse polarization of electrons ($σ_{T_{1}}$, $σ_{T_{2}}$) emitted in the $β$-decay of polarized, free neutrons is presented. The T-odd, P-odd correlation coefficient quantifying $σ_{T_{2}}$, perpendicular to the neutron polarization and electron momentum, was found to be $R=$ 0.004$\pm0.012\pm$0.005. This value is consistent with time reversal invariance, and significantly improves both earlier result and limits on the relative strength of imaginary scalar couplings in the weak interaction. The value obtained for the correlation coefficient associated with $σ_{T_{1}}$, $N=$ 0.067$\pm0.011\pm$0.004, agrees with the Standard Model expectation, providing an important sensitivity test of the experimental setup. The present result sets constraints on the imaginary part of scalar and tensor couplings in weak interaction. Implications for parameters of the leptoquark exchange model and minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) with R-parity violation are discussed.
Exploring Student Learning Characteristics in the Online Environment: Implications for Instructional Design

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2015
Subjects: instructional design; learning characteristics

description: One of the challenging tasks for instructors and instructional designers is how to support students to learn well in an online environment. It is unclear for instructors how designs can accommodate students in leaning and how students' learning characteristics affect their leaning experiences. The purpose of this presentation is to explore the relationship between students' demographics, learning characteristics and their learning outcomes in online courses. A research study recruited students from several fully online courses/sessions in Education, Psychology, Environmental Science, and Nutrition in Fall 2014 and Spring 2015. An instrument called the "Learning Traits Questionnaire (LTQ)" identified students' learning characteristics, including Group Preference, Instructional Support, Procrastination, Computer Competency, and Learning Confidence. A course survey collected students' feedback on learning satisfaction and experiences.

This presentation shares the findings about the relationships between students' demographics and the five learning characteristics. How students' learning characteristics and the course designs associated with their learning satisfaction was also discussed. The topics of matched design or unmatched design with students' learning characteristics were explored. Furthermore research on instructional design and learning characteristics is expected.

Subjects: mindfulness/well-being

description: Cultivating mindfulness through meditationÂ is vital towards holistic education and studentsâ€™ wellbeing. Individual reflections students submitted in this study suggest that by paying attention to what is going on around us, including our thoughts and feelings without judging them, we can minimize our stress and anxiety, improve focus and attention, and increase self awareness and wellbeing. Â Students in three New Century Learning Community classes (NCLC) namely, Refugee and Internal Displacement (3 credits), Human Trafficking and the International Community (3 credits), and Conflict, Trauma and Healing (6 credits) in Spring 2015 experienced first-hand the benefits of mindfulness, and what it was like to always begin a class with a five to ten minutes of meditation. Studentsâ€™ reflections indicate that not only does meditation enable students to be present in the moment the experience also improves concentration, calmness, and peace of mind. They are able to participate and interact more in discussion and learning activities. Meditation helps them absorb course materials well. Â Students would like their professors, regardless of the courses they teach, consider integrating mindfulness through meditation as part of studentsâ€™ learning experience in class.Â

description: R-SWMS is a numerical model for simulating solute transport and water flow in and between the soil and the plant systems. The acronym stands for Modeling “Root-Soil Water Movement and Solute transport”. Based on the flow and transport equations in the 3D soil matrix and within the 3D root xylem network, it simulates the uptake of solute and water by plant roots for a growing plant. Three-dimensional root growth is function of environmental conditions (soil strength, temperature) and plant parameters (gravitropism, sensitivity to strength, etc.). The code has been used in several projects and labs around the world. An updated list of publications dealing with R-SWMS can be found at https://www.zotero.org/groups/r-swms.
The handbook includes theory, numerics, input files, output files, installation, and some example calculations.
title: The FOUNDATION study “Follow-Up for NeuroDevelopmentally AT risk Infants Of Neonatal care”- a qualitative study on the views of parents and caregivers
Creators: name: Komoriyama, A
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2017

description: Introduction: Infants born prematurely or who have had neurological complications are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Early identification of infants with signs of neurodevelopmental delay is crucial to achieve their full developmental potentials. Currently, there is variable guidance on the follow up and referral process for such children. Little information is available on the needs of patients, families and health care of professionals regarding current practice and experience of follow-up. Aims: To understand the present situation, the perceptions, and the views of parents and professionals who look after high-risk infants discharged from the NICU in relation to neurodevelopmental follow-up. Methods: We undertook a qualitative study within the Mersey region using in-depth interviews with 23 parents of children, aged 0 to 3, born prematurely or with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy. We also undertook 11 in-depth interviews with doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals involved in the follow-up of at-risk infants. Results: Five themes were identified: (1) What, (2) How, (3) Who, (4) When and (5) Capacity of the health care system. Most parents wanted preparation for a diagnosis and the future, and they appreciated a realistic and honest approach by professionals. Parents perceived that neonatologists tended to focus on short-term management and were reluctant to discuss long-term developmental outcomes with parents to avoid reducing the joy of having a baby. Long-term parental emotional support was felt to be neglected and many parents wanted to be offered counselling services. The lack of a standard referral process and variable care pathways frustrated both parents and professionals. Conclusion: The quantity, content and quality of information given to parents at the hospital as well as in the community should be revised. More information on the risks of having developmental problems in high-risk children should be given. Many parents felt anxious and depressed and some mothers had mental health problems such as panic attacks and post traumatic disorders. Professionals should provide increased emotional support on the NICU and throughout follow-ups.

description: This study builds on our previous work, which had questioned the validity of certain assumptions of the lead market theory in the face of changing ground realities in a globalized world. Sustained economic growth and proven technological capabilities in some "emerging economies" like China and India call for a reassessment of the appropriateness of the "conventional wisdom" that had held true until recently. While our previous study had "re-built" a theoretical background of the lead market model by introducing new elements, and doing away with certain others, with the help of two in-depth case studies; the purpose of the present study is to specifically assess India's potential as a lead market for cost-effective frugal innovations. The study crystallizes the inherent characteristics of frugal innovations, their development process and market success in the domestic and overseas markets by analyzing four successful product innovations from selected industries in India. The factors identified thus are then incorporated in the theoretic model to derive propositions about India's lead market potential. Whereas affordability and economies of scale have traditionally constituted the primary concern for frugal innovations, an increasing shift towards "value proposition" is identified. Intensifying competition and growing customer aspirations are changing the nature of frugal innovations. The hitherto unserved customer demands attractive designs and modern technologies to come out of his shell of "non-consumption". Our research confirms that frugal innovations can benefit end-consumers and firms, simultaneously. Better-designed products also have positive impact on the lead market potential, creating a virtuous cycle. The study also discovered that the increasing need for sophistication coupled with continued cost pressures is shifting the product development processes into the domain of "open global innovation", which also helps reduce the negative country-of-origin effects faced by developing countries. The research would have implications for location decisions in setting up global innovation/R&D activities.

description: What are Feminist research methods and how are they different from other, non-Feminist research methods? This presentation begins by interrogating the question of how research methods become labeled as Feminist. Building on this knowledge, we detail how this investigation guided our implementation of a new Feminist Research Methods course. The evaluation [research] of this course yielded information regarding the deeply ingrained connection students have between certain research methods and Feminist practice, despite completing a course that explicitly argued for the application of the label "Feminist" to any research rooted in Feminist theory or practices, regardless of the methodologies employed. Additionally, the evaluation [research] we performed of the first offering of this course has allowed us to revise the course based on evidence, not just "hunches," in ways that improve the student experience as well as identify some of the structural and pedagogical challenges when teaching Feminist research methods.

description: The pH of grassland soils in Scotland is declining in large areas due to less frequent lime applications. Soil nutrient availability, grassland yield and crop diversity are highly influenced by soil pH values. The consequence of acidic soil on grassland nutritional quality have not yet been comprehensively assessed. Grass-white clover sward samples were collected in 2019-2021 from a long-term pH field experiment, Woodland’s Field in Aberdeen, Scotland. This experiment is part of the larger ACE platform in Aberdeen. This was an 8-course ley-arable crop rotation which included a pH gradient (4.5-7.5 at pH 0.5 increments) superimposed across each crop row resulting in 7 target values. Collected crop samples were separated into grass and clover, and analysed for impact of pH on yield, protein and digestibility. These were analysed in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year grass-clover ley. White clover growth in the sward was inhibited at pH 4.5≤5.0. Increasing soil pH above 5 increased the clover presence from 0.1-14% to 33-58%, a 800-1650% increase in clover biomass. This significantly increased the nutritional quality of white clover in the sward. This was exhibited through greater percent nitrogen, crude protein content and proportion of more quickly digested fibre fractions. Increasing soil pH from 4.5 to 6.0 increased total sward (grass and clover) biomass yield by 122-282.1%. The positive impact of pH on nutritive qualities of white clover in the sward are likely to increase dry matter intake of grazing animals and therefore liveweight gain and/or milk production. A simple measure to increase human-available products. By not increasing soil pH out of a highly acidic range, there may be sward nutritional quality and overall biomass yield consequences that are easy to remediate.
The cofilin activity pathway in metastasizing mammary tumour cells
Creators: name: Prosk, Erin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The activity of cofilin has been identified as a critical determinant of the metastatic potential of carcinoma cells in vivo. The burst of cofilin-mediated barbed end production following stimulation of a cancer cell with EGF is not yet completely understood. This motivates the use of mathematical models to test experimental hypotheses and propose areas for future experimental consideration. In this thesis, I outline the initial temporal models of the cofilin activity pathway in metastasizing mammary tumour cells developed by myself and my supervisor Leah Edelstein-Keshet. This work results from a collaboration with experimentalist Dr. John Condeelis (Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University). The project is hierarchical, building from a reduced model of cofilin-barbed end interaction (Chapter 2), to include distinct cofilin forms (Chapter 3) and compartmental considerations (Chapter 4). In each model, we investigate essential mechanisms of the cofilin pathway required to reproduce the barbed end peak observed in experiment. The models presented in Chapters 2-4 represent the initial step in the modeling analysis of the cofilin activity pathway. The work serves to validate current hypotheses about the cofilin activity pathway and identify important interactions and considerations for future experimental and theoretical development.
Using Omeka and Neatline to Facilitate Student Research in a Core Literature Class

description: This poster/demonstration session illustrates how the digital humanities publishing platform Omeka and its Neatline plugin can be used to guide students in a general education class through the process of conducting and reporting on a modest amount of original document-based research. The presentation centers around an Omeka/Neatline site created by students in an ENGH 202 (Texts and Contexts) section titled, "American Women's Bestsellers: Digital Humanities Perspectives." Students identified significant places in the novels they read, located primary sources that shed light on contemporary cultural associations with those places, created Omeka items based on the sources, and wrote item and exhibit text that explores the meaning of the place in the novel and in the culture from which the novel arose. The unfamiliar experience of using digital humanities tools encourages students to approach literary analysis from a fresh perspective, while Omeka's insistence on careful documentation of sources and Neatline's built-in geographic structure facilitate analysis that connects the course's twin themes: historical/cultural context and place. Participants will have the chance to interact with the Omeka site, which includes both student-created projects and instructor-created course materials.

description: Just as they ask their students to risk uncertainty, fifteen scholars at George Mason University stepped beyond their customary research paradigms to build fresh capacity via collaborative self-study of teaching and the medium of visually rich environments. Participants embarked on this visual odyssey as individuals, but they present as a collaborative (S3C). Drawing on data from individual projects, a concurrent meta-study, and the research of predecessor communities, they argue that self-study empowers scholars to excel outside their domains as interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary scholars, to "move out of their own way" in order to learn and to nurture the core authenticity of the teacher-scholar.

After a short introduction to the collaborative's work and research results, the audience will break out for a "gallery walk and talk" through the visual and textual work of S3C, with multiple opportunities for discussion. In the final 10-15 minutes, presenters and audience discuss how S3C research results might apply to participants' own teaching and learning.

Furthermore, to provide a better understanding of the structure and functionality of the human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (hPDC). Structurally, interactions of different protein domains within hPDC were investigated using truncated core variants. Moreover, the hPDC activity was examined by multi-parameter screening, whereat an oscillating behaviour of hPDC was determined experimentally under certain parameter conditions. Finally, an automated process chain was developed to manipulate DNA sequences, produce proteins and subsequently test for functionality within few hours.

description: Screening films outside of the traditional classroom setting is a useful supplement to what an instructor may cover in their courses. Also, public viewings create a better sense of community at George Mason University. However, knowing where to begin and what steps to take to organize a screening might seem confusing and expensive. In this poster session, Laura and Mika'il will show you both how to find films and how to organize a screening. This is a useful how-to for Mason community members, whether they are faculty, involved in student organizations, or just plain cinephiles. The presenters will provide an overview of how to begin the process with brainstorming, where to look for film titles, why university copyright policies must be upheld, how to estimate potential costs, who to contact for co-sponsorship, and what offices might provide assistance.

description: Footprint 31 examines a number of ways in which architecture can be understood as open. Ranging from structural to procedural, and from performative to conceptual forms of openness, the articles collected in the issue elaborate on a diversity of open architectures of the past and present, in political, ideological, semiotic, technological, morphological, representational, and epistemological terms. Review articles provide further illustration by analysing three architectures by Nicolas Schöffer, Frank van Klingeren, and Lacaton and Vassal (with Jacques Hondelatte). The theoretical and methodological advantages and disadvantages of architectural openness identified by all contributors suggest alternative conceptualisations for the concept, and invite further reflection on the effectiveness and efficiency of its use towards the future.

description: Digitale Assistenzsysteme haben das Potential die papierbasierte Informations- und Kommunikationsbasis in der Industrie zu ersetzen. Hierbei ist die Digitalisierung keineswegs ein Selbstzweck, denn die Systeme bieten die Flexibilität die bereitgestellten Informationen und Funktionen präzise am Nutzer und dem jeweiligen Anwendungsfall auszurichten. Der dadurch entstehende Mehrwert für industrielle Prozesse wie die Montage [Frie16] oder die Instandhaltung [Melu19] komplexer Produkte konnten bereits hinlänglich nachgewiesen werden. Bei der Gestaltung der primär informatorischen Assistenzsysteme stellt sich je-doch stets die Frage eines unter kognitiv-ergonomischen Gesichtspunkten sinnvoll gestalteten Bedienkonzeptes [Jesk20]. Unternehmen neigen dazu, unstrukturierte Informationen in zu großen Mengen bereitzustellen, die Bereitstellung zu wenig am Empfänger auszurichten und allgemein zu wenig aus Sicht der Bezugsgruppe zu denken [Mast20]. Im Folgenden werden ein empfängerorientiertes Visualisierungskonzept zur Abbildung grundlegender Informationsbausteine sowie Kommunikationsfunktionen für digitale Assistenzsysteme vorgestellt.

description: We consider astrophysically relevant nonlinear MHD dynamo at large Reynolds numbers (Re). We argue that it is universal in a sense that magnetic energy grows at a rate which is a constant fraction C_E of the total turbulent dissipation rate. On the basis of locality bounds we claim that this "efficiency of small-scale dynamo", C_E, is a true constant for large Re and is determined only by strongly nonlinear dynamics at the equipartition scale. We measured C_E in numerical simulations and observed a value around 0.05 in highest resolution simulations. We address the issue of C_E being small, unlike Kolmogorov constant which is of order unity.

description: Regular quizzing that requires retrieval (e.g., fill-in-the-blank and open-ended questions) has been found to enhance the retention of information relative to quizzing that requires recognition (i.e., multiple-choice questions). This phenomenon, called the testing effect, has been demonstrated in a variety of laboratory and classroom studies. In past semesters, students in an upper-level psychology course who took fill-in-the blank quizzes performed significantly better on multiple-choice exams than students who took multiple-choice quizzes covering the same material. More recently, students have been provided with information about the testing effect, including data from earlier semesters of the same course, and allowed to individually choose their quiz format. While many students initially chose fill-in-the-blank quizzes, the majority switched to multiple-choice quizzes when allowed to do so one quarter of the way through the semester. Students in three sections of the course have exhibited this same pattern, despite evidence from their own sections that, on average, students taking fill-in quizzes earned higher grades on the first exam. The implications of this behavior, as well as its potential as a "teachable moment," will be considered.

description: Bestimmung und Beurteilung der Manövrierfähigkeit von Schiffen unter dem Aspekt der Kollisionsvermeidung Die Beurteilung der Manövrierfähigkeit eines Schiffes unter dem Aspekt der Kollisionsvermeidunq ist. für alle Beteiligten wie z.B. Schiffsführung und Reeder, wichtig. Die Manövriereigenschaften eines Schiffes und die Art und Weise der Nutzung seines Manövriervermögens haben entscheidenden Anteil an dem Erfolg des erforderlichen Ausweichmanövers. Gemessen werden kann die Manövrierfähigkeit mit einer nautischen Kenngrösse: erforderlicher Manöverabstand bzw. erforderliche Manöverzeit. Als Beurteilungsmass der Manövrierfähigkeit dient dann die Anzahl der Kollisionen pro Zeiteinheit, die das betrachtete Schiff in einem bestimmten Modellverkehr erfährt. Zur Simulation der Ausweichbewegungen der Schiffe wurden zwei verschiedene Manövermodelle zusammengestellt. Die Berechnungsverfahren dazu und die Methode zur Abschätzung der Kollisionsrate werden beschrieben. Für ein Beispiel wurden die Berechnungen durchgeführt, um die nautischen Kenngrössen zu bestimmen und den Erfolg des gewählten Ausweichmanövers abzuschätzen. Ferner wird eine mögliche Verwendung der Ergebnisse demonstriert.
description: The assessment of the maneuverlng capability of a ship with regard to collision avoidance is of importance to all concerned, e.g. ship masters, ship owners, shipbuilders and vessel traffic designers. For in ca se of an impending collision, the physical maneuverability of the ship as well as the kind and manner of its utilization by the navigator-in-charge will have a decisive share in the success of the necessary evasive maneuver. The maneuvering capabilty can be assessed by means of a nautical measure: the required maneuvering range (or the required maneuvering time) to avoid a collision. The maneuvering capability can then be quantified in terms of the mean collision rate, i .e. the average number of collisions expected for the given ship per unit time in a given model traffic. Two different maneuvering models have been set up to simulate the evasive motions of ships. The simulation algorithms and the method for estimating the collision rate are described. Sample calculations have been performed and the nautical measures determined for one case, in oder to estimate the success of the chosen evasive maneuver. Moreover, a possible practical application of the results is demonstrated.
