Design and Assessment of an Interactive Digital Tutorial for Undergraduate-Level Sandstone Petrology

This study describes the goals, features and effectiveness of a digital interactive tutorial which was created to provide undergraduates a 'virtual microscope' resource for learning sandstone petrology. The goal of the tutorial is to provide students exposure to the highly visual subject matter of petrography outside the confines of organized laboratory exercises. The hope is that widespread use of such digital interactive formats will allow students to gain high levels of expertise with description and interpretation of earth materials despite the reduced amounts of hands-on laboratory practice that are allowed by modern curricula. Educational levels: Graduate or professional

Administrative Law -- 1957 Tennessee Survey

Only a few cases by the Tennessee Supreme Court decided during the survey year considered questions of general administrative law. These concerned the timing and extent of judicial review of administrative action and the conduct of hearings by agencies. Prerequisites to Judicial Review: Whether available administrative remedies must be exhausted by a litigant before seeking a review or other relief by court action is a question not always capable of exact prediction.\u27 The long settled rule of judicial administration that no one is entitled to judicial relief for a supposed or threatened injury until the prescribed administrative remedy has been exhausted is subject to a number of exceptions. In State v. Yoakum a number of teachers brought a suit under the Declaratory Judgment Act for a decision with respect to their rights under the transfer provisions of the Teacher Tenure Act of 1951

Criminal Law and Procedure -- 1957 Tennessee Survey

Homicide: The statutory requirement that a killing be willful; deliberate, malicious, and premeditated for a finding of murder in the first degree is not applicable to a killing committed while in the perpetration of one of the felonies listed in the statute. This question arose in Farmer v. State, in which it appeared that the killing resulted from the setting on fire of a dwelling, i.e. arson, by the defendant. It was urged on appeal to the Tennessee Supreme Court that there was no proof of felonious homicide because there was no showing of an intent to kill nor even that the defendant had knowledge of the existence of the victim, a two and one-half year old child. The court was not impressed with this argument, however, and stated that where a causal connection between one of the felonies listed in the statute and the death is shown, no proof of intent to kill or malice toward the victim is necessary. This of course follows the development of the felony-murder rule

Administrative Law -- 1956 Tennessee Survey

Questions of the scope and timing of judicial review of administrative agency action were again before the courts during the period covered by this survey. Timing of Judicial Review: The problem of timing of judicial review of administrative action includes questions of the availability of administrative remedies and whether their exhaustion must be required before court action; ripeness for review, usually associated with the issuance of agency rules and regulations; and jurisdictional questions vis-a-vis the agency and the court

Energy Balance During a Self-Sufficient, Multistage Ultramarathon

Endurance athletes are recommended to maintain energy balance and ensure adequate energy availability (EA) so that endurance performance is not compromised. Purpose: Describe and evaluate the energy balance of an athlete competing in a self-sufficient, multistage ultramarathon (MSU). Methods: A male endurance athlete (age 35 years; height 183.0 cm; body mass 78.4 kg; VO2max 66 ml/kg/min) volunteered to take part in this observational case study prior to competing in the Marathon des Sables (MdS) 2016. The subject self-reported energy intake (EI) by reviewing his dietary plan following each stage. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) was estimated prior to the MdS based on fat-free mass. Distance and moving speed were recorded using a GPS device throughout the race. Exercise energy expenditure (EEE) was calculated using the GPS device algorithm. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was calculated by adding the athlete’s BMR to the recorded EEE. Energy balance was calculated by subtracting EI from TEE. Results: Mean daily EI was 2946 ± 358 kcal and daily EEE was 3006 ± 1030 kcal. This resulted in a total energy deficit of 9609 kcal with a daily energy deficit of 1922 ± 952 kcal/day. The athlete did not report any subjective feelings of hunger at any point during the event. Conclusions: The athlete did not consume enough calories to meet estimated energy requirements, resulting in a negative energy balance and low EA throughout the event. Relying on subjective perception of hunger to modulate energy intake is an ineffective strategy during a MSU
