Educational Study Replication using Assistment The Use of Computer-Based Delivery Instead of Traditional Paper-and-Pencil

In this replication study, we used the Compared With What? study by Bethany Rittle-Johnson and Jon R. Star as our model. The purpose of their study was to find what specific comparisons in math education should be emphasized in order to maximize learning. We used the same material of assessment and intervention as the original model as students learned to solve equations by comparing solution methods, comparing identical, and comparing problem types. The difference between the two studies is our use of the ASSISTment system. While we are able to show overall learning, we are not able to show a statistically significant difference between the conditions

A research to reduce interior noise in general aviation airplanes. General aviation interior noise study

The construction, calibration, and properties of a facility for measuring sound transmission through aircraft type panels are described along with the theoretical and empirical methods used. Topics discussed include typical noise source, sound transmission path, and acoustic cabin properties and their effect on interior noise. Experimental results show an average sound transmission loss in the mass controlled frequency region comparable to theoretical predictions. The results also verify that transmission losses in the stiffness controlled region directly depend on the fundamental frequency of the panel. Experimental and theoretical results indicate that increases in this frequency, and consequently in transmission loss, can be achieved by applying pressure differentials across the specimen

Forensic Science Minor

SUNY Brockport Department of Criminal Justice proposes a minor in Forensic Science. This will entail an interdisciplinary scientific approach to the social, behavioral, and natural sciences and their application to legal contexts. The theoretical and methodological approaches of various scientific disciplines will be incorporated in this program. This will help the student to familiarize with a wide range of “players” involved in the scientific analysis, interpretation, recovery, treatment, and evaluation of physical and biological evidence, and subsequent testimony. With the glamorization of forensics and its utility in solving crimes, the reality of the meticulous, often grueling nature of forensic science are commonly misunderstood. Having experienced interdisciplinarity in coursework and internships, forensic science minors will obtain a unique perspective, one that emphasizes critical thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Evaluation of forensic data for the courtroom context is an ongoing, collaborative process among forensic scientists and others dealing with evidence. Thus, the minor degree program will prepare students to work in medical-legal laboratory and field contexts such as legal, law enforcement and other related possibilities, including medical-legal careers and investigations. The interdisciplinary structure of the proposed Forensic Science minor supports SUNY Brockport’s commitment to students to the latest investigative methods and technologies, and approaches used by a variety of scientists; in turn, the applied nature of forensic science encourages students to consider information in a context beyond the classroom – that of the community, and the greater society

Assessing Historical Planform Channel Change in an Altered Watershed with Quantification of Error and Uncertainty Present in a GIS/Aerial Photography-based Analysis; Case Study: Minnesota River, Minnesota, USA.

Little is known about the historic planform channel change of the Minnesota River of south-central Minnesota, USA. This is despite research that demonstrates anthropogenic activities have altered the Minnesota River Basin\u27s hydrology, land use, and climate. In addition, the threat of invasive carp infestation requires an understanding of Minnesota River planform change to assess mitigation strategies. This thesis focuses on the lower Minnesota River (LMR) by measuring planform channel change (lateral channel migration, width, and sinuosity) from 1937 to 2013. Analysis is conducted by utilizing remote/GIS analysis of historic aerial photographs. A secondary focus addresses and quantifies the inherent/introduced error/uncertainly within remote analysis in channel planform studies. Error in image referencing and channel digitization were quantified and applied to planform measurements throughout the LMR, as opposed to spatially uniform or borrowed values utilized in past literature. The results reveal the LMR exhibits an average increase in channel migration from ~0.77 meters per year (m/y) during the 1937-1951 interval to ~0.99 m/y during the 1980-1991 interval. Despite a decrease in lateral migration observed between the 1980-1991 and 1991-2013 intervals (~0.17 m/y decrease), the highest observed maximum migration rates are in these two recent intervals, with the most significant lateral migration (~16 m/y) in the 1980-1991 interval. Average channel width increased from ~70 m to ~113 m from 1937 to 2013. Sinuosity has decreased associated with a decrease in stream length from 180 km to 167 km from 1937 to 2013. These Planform changes are interpreted as a result of anthropogenic induced alteration in the MRB\u27s hydrology, impacting processes that control channel behavior. Beyond spatially averaged temporal trends, spatial variability of measured planform characteristics within the LMR correlate with locations where: 1) anthropogenic structures control river behavior (low rates of planform change), 2) distinct valley segments identified as sediment sinks in low gradient reaches (high rates of planform change), and 3) major tributary systems enter the LMR (increase in lateral migration downstream from the confluence). Given ongoing historic change observed here and the underfit nature of the LMR, we believe this work demonstrates a substantial challenge to any invasive carp mitigation strategy

VIBE: The Practical Benefits of an Interactive E-Book for Art Education in Egypt

The Art Education subject in Middle school in Egypt has been somewhat neglected, without receiving adequate focus for its development in line with the modern demands of the current era. One of the primary sources of education for students in schools is textbooks. The existing school Art Education textbook lacks content, presentation, and design, requiring substantial improvement. The "Visual Interactive Book for Art Education” (VIBE) project aims to revolutionize the way Egyptian Art is taught in middle school classrooms. By transforming the content of the traditional Art Education textbook into an interactive electronic book, VIBE offers a more engaging, accessible, and effective learning tool for students seeking to develop their artistic sensibilities. VIBE showcases the works of renowned Egyptian artists and highlight their artistic techniques to enhance students' artistic abilities while improving accessibility and convenience for learning the material through expanded ways for communicating the knowledge. Through the incorporation of high-quality images, videos, and games, VIBE provides a dynamic and immersive learning experience.This paper offers a comparative analysis of the visual elements of the original printed textbook and VIBE to illustrate the research and design process. VIBE provides a better learning experience, accessible and intuitive design to navigate for middle school kids than the printed textbook. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative design, VIBE offers a more engaging and effective learning tool for students to develop their artistic sensibilities and to foster cultural appreciation through art education topics. Plus, this solution costs less to produce and distribute, making it an easily adoptable solution for schools and educators to take on.
