Reflecting on reflection: scale extension and a comparison of undergraduate business students in the United States and the United Kingdom
In the Peltier, Hay, and Drago (2005) article entitled “The Reflective Learning Continuum: Reflecting on Reflection,” a reflective learning continuum was conceptualized and tested. This is a follow-up article based on three extensions: (1) determine whether the continuum could be expanded, (2) further validating the continuum using additional schools, and (3) determining whether the continuum could also be applied to undergraduate business education. The findings from a study of U.S. and UK students show that the revised scale is valid and reliable and that U.S. students in the sample universities rated their educational experience higher and were more likely to use reflective thinking practices
Formation of Quark Phases in compact stars and their connection to Gamma-Ray-Bursts
We analyse the occurrence of quiescent times in the temporal structure of the
Gamma-Ray-Bursts (GRBs) light curves. We show that if a long quiescent time is
present, it is possible to divide the total duration of GRBs into three
periods: the pre-quiescence emission, the quiescent time and the
post-quiescence emission. We then discuss a model of the GRBs inner engine
based on the formation of quark phases during the life of an hadronic star.
Within this model the pre-quiescence emission is interpreted as due to the
deconfinement of quark inside an hadronic star and the formation of 2SC quark
matter. The post-quiescence emission is due to the conversion of 2SC into the
Color-Flavor-Locking (CFL) phase. The temporal delay between these two
processes is connected with the nucleation time of the CFL phase in the 2SC
phase and it can be associated with the observed quiescent times in the GRBs
light curves. The stability of CFL cores in compact stars is also discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, to appear in the proceedings of 3th International

A Review of Characteristics and Treatments of the Avoidant Personality Disorder. Could the DBT be an Option?
A 1.2-V 10- µW NPN-Based Temperature Sensor in 65-nm CMOS With an Inaccuracy of 0.2 °C (3σ) From 70 °C to 125 °C
An NPN-based temperature sensor with digital output transistors has been realized in a 65-nm CMOS process. It achieves a batch-calibrated inaccuracy of ±0.5 ◦C (3¾) and a trimmed inaccuracy of ±0.2 ◦C (3¾) over the temperature range from −70 ◦C to 125 ◦C. This performance is obtained by the use of NPN transistors as sensing elements, the use of dynamic techniques, i.e. correlated double sampling and dynamic element matching, and a single room-temperature trim. The sensor draws 8.3 μA from a 1.2-V supply and occupies an area of 0.1 mm2
Comparison of Magnetic Flux Distribution between a Coronal Hole and a Quiet Region
Employing Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) deep magnetograms and H
images in a quiet region and a coronal hole, observed on September 14 and 16,
2004, respectively, we have explored the magnetic flux emergence, disappearance
and distribution in the two regions. The following results are obtained: (1)
The evolution of magnetic flux in the quiet region is much faster than that in
the coronal hole, as the flux appeared in the form of ephemeral regions in the
quiet region is 4.3 times as large as that in the coronal hole, and the flux
disappeared in the form of flux cancellation, 2.9 times as fast as in the
coronal hole. (2) More magnetic elements with opposite polarities in the quiet
region are connected by arch filaments, estimating from magnetograms and
H images. (3) We measured the magnetic flux of about 1000 magnetic
elements in each observing region. The flux distribution of network and
intranetwork (IN) elements is similar in both polarities in the quiet region.
For network fields in the coronal hole, the number of negative elements is much
more than that of positive elements. However for the IN fields, the number of
positive elements is much more than that of negative elements. (4) In the
coronal hole, the fraction of negative flux change obviously with different
threshold flux density. 73% of the magnetic fields with flux density larger
than 2 Gauss is negative polarity, and 95% of the magnetic fields is negative,
if we only measure the fields with their flux density larger than 20 Gauss. Our
results display that in a coronal hole, stronger fields is occupied by one
predominant polarity; however the majority of weaker fields, occupied by the
other polarity
Effectiveness evaluation of STOL transport operations
A short-takeoff and landing (STOL) systems simulation model has been developed and implemented in a computer code (known as STOL OPS) which permits evaluation of the operation of a STOL aircraft and its avionics in a commercial airline operating environment. STOL OPS concentrated on the avionics functions of navigation, guidance, control, communication, hazard aviodance, and systems management. External world factors influencing the operation of the STOL aircraft include each airport and its geometry, air traffic at each airport, air traffic control equipment and procedures, weather (including winds and visibility), and the flight path between each airport served by the route. The development of the STOL OPS program provides NASA a set of computer programs which can be used for detailed analysis of a STOL aircraft and its avionics and permit establishment of system requirements as a function of airline mission performance goals
DLR-KMS correspondence on lattice spin systems
The Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle (DLR) condition and the classical
Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition are considered in the context of
classical lattice systems. In particular, we prove that these conditions are
equivalent for the case of a lattice spin system with values in a compact
symplectic manifold by showing that infinite volume Gibbs states are in
bijection with KMS states.Comment: 13 page
Conceptualizing a Model for Teacher Team Learning: The Promise of Integration of Diversity of Perspectives During Team Learning
Many studies have emphasized that the integration of divergent perspectives is the central to teacher team learning, but it is difficult for teacher teams. This is because it is necessary to consider the multi-layers of team learning to foster the integration. However, existing research has focused only on a unidimensional aspect. Therefore, we conceptualize a comprehensive theoretical model for teacher team learning with focus on integration of perspective by incorporating multiple aspects, including (a) not only the cognitive dimension, but also the affective, relational and motivational dimensions and (b) not only a team level, but also a system (organizational) level
