Learning Together: Using Action Research to Design Professional Development
After being part of a week-long math institute, both the principal and the Mathematics Specialist from an urban school district partnered to develop a professional development plan. It incorporated a Lesson Study Model that supported collaborative learning teams, focused on the instructional process, and incorporated reflection and feedback. Although the faculty had engaged in other forms of professional development, the lesson study process was seen as a powerful vehicle that invited a level of coaching and cross-collaboration. This article focuses on the shared viewpoints of the principal and the Mathematics Specialist who worked together to build a mechanism for professional learning for improved mathematical proficiency and understanding
An X-ray monitor for measurement of a titanium tritide target thickness
An X-ray device capable of measuring titanium tritide film thickness from 0.1 to 30 micrometers has been built and tested. The monitor was designed for use in a rotating target system which used thick targets and incorporated a sputtering electrode to remove depleted layers from the target surface. The thickness measurement can be done in the presence of an intense background of bremsstrahlung and characteristic titanium X-radiation. A measurement can be accomplished in situ in two hours with reasonable accuracy
A proposed method for regeneration of neutron producing targets, within an accelerator, by ion sputtering techniques
Sputtering electrode system design for regeneration of targets within accelerato
Access to uncombined titanium through an inhibiting film in sublimation pumping of deuterium
It was demonstrated, through a series of experiments, that it is possible (by the addition of a thin layer of titanium to an apparently occluded surface) to gain access to previously deposited sublayers of uncombined titanium in spite of the presence of an inhibiting film (such as an oxide) on the surface
A high yield neutron target
Target, in cylinder form, rotates rapidly in front of beam. Titanium tritide film is much thicker than range of accelerated deutron. Sputtering electrode permits full use of thick film. Stream of high-velocity coolant provides efficient transfer of heat from target
Method of measuring the thickness of radioactive thin films
Thickness monitor consists of proportional X-ray counter coupled to pulse counting system, copper filter over face of counter, rotatable collimator containing radioactive source, and rotatable shutter. Monitor can be used as integral part of neutron generator. It has been used to measure titanium tritide film thicknesses from 0.1 to 30 micrometers
A superior process for forming titanium hydrogen isotopic films
Process forms stoichiometric, continuous, strongly bonded titanium hydrogen isotopic films. Films have thermal and electrical conductivities approximately the same as bulk pure titanium, ten times greater than those of usual thin films
Closed loop spray cooling apparatus
A closed loop apparatus for spraying coolant against the back of a radiation target is described. The coolant was circulated through a closed loop with a bubble of inert gas being maintained around the spray. Mesh material was disposed between the bubble and the surface of the liquid coolant which was below the bubble at a predetermined level. In a second embodiment, no inert gas was used, the bubble consisting of a vapor produced when the coolant was sprayed against the target
Unfinished Homework for Universities: Making the Case for Affirmative Action
The unfinished homework in the affirmative action debate concerns the development of an articulated vision-supported by a strong evidentiary basis-of the educational benefits of racial diversity in higher education
