Relevance in the Science Curriculum

Selected educators are showing considerable concern pertaining to the lack of emphasis placed upon the science curriculum in the school/class setting. Reasons given in needing to stress increased priority in teaching science include the following

Issues in Teaching Science

Vital issues in the science curriculum include: 1) product versus process goals; 2) inductive versus deductive learning; 3) a psychological versus a logical curriculum; and 4) subject centered versus activity centered units of study. Each student needs to achieve optimally regardless of the position(s\ taken by science teachers on any one of the above named issues

Community Service Promotes

School and society are interwoven. not separate entities. Therefore, the goats of schools should be integrated with those of the surrounding community and society as a whole. Middle school student service helps integrate those goals

A Brief Study of Open Source Graph Databases

With the proliferation of large irregular sparse relational datasets, new storage and analysis platforms have arisen to fill gaps in performance and capability left by conventional approaches built on traditional database technologies and query languages. Many of these platforms apply graph structures and analysis techniques to enable users to ingest, update, query and compute on the topological structure of these relationships represented as set(s) of edges between set(s) of vertices. To store and process Facebook-scale datasets, they must be able to support data sources with billions of edges, update rates of millions of updates per second, and complex analysis kernels. These platforms must provide intuitive interfaces that enable graph experts and novice programmers to write implementations of common graph algorithms. In this paper, we explore a variety of graph analysis and storage platforms. We compare their capabil- ities, interfaces, and performance by implementing and computing a set of real-world graph algorithms on synthetic graphs with up to 256 million edges.
