Principles of Wind Energy Production

Three public school teachers designed basic wind turbine energy production tests to help them teach wind energy principles to middle and high school students. Variables affecting wind turbine energy production were identified (distance from wind tunnel, blade design, angle of attack, and wind speed), and experiments were conducted to test each variable. This research aligns with Georgia DOE curriculum standard STEM-FET-3.7: Apply STEM knowledge and skills through hands-on research and lab experiments that are focused upon recreating the inventions and social solutions that were realized in the past, present, and possible future. These experiments will be a part of an instructional unit of study to teach middle and high school students the principles of wind turbine energy production

Reduced structural flexibility of eplet amino acids in HLA proteins

International audienceThe proteins encoded in the HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) system are largely responsible for the compatibility in organ transplants. To date, the molecular determinants involved in recognizing HLA antigens by recipient antibodies are unknown. Here we explore flexibility as a potential determinant. For this purpose, we compare in terms of N-RMSF (Normalized Root Mean Square Fluctuation) amino acids labeled as confirmed eplets (regions defined around polymorphic amino acids) against amino acids that have not been reported as eplets. We found that eplet amino acids tend to be less flexible than non-eplet amino acids, which would indicate that the antibodies would have a preference for binding with less mobile regions

Consistency and Reproducibility of Grades in Higher Education: A Case Study in Deep Learning

Evaluating the performance of students in higher education is essential for gauging the effectiveness of teaching methods and achieving greater equality of opportunities for all. In this study, we investigate the correlation between two teachers' grading practices in a deep learning course at the master's level, offered at CentraleSup\'elec. The two teachers, who have distinct teaching styles, were responsible for marking the final project oral presentation. Our results indicate a significant positive correlation (0.76) between the two teachers' grading practices, suggesting that their assessments of students' performance are consistent. Although consistent with each other, grades do not seem to be fully reproducible from one examiner to the other suggesting serious drawbacks of only using one examiner for oral projects. Furthermore, we observed that the maximum difference between the grades assigned by the two examiners was 12.5%, highlighting the potential impact of inter-examiner variability on students' final grades.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure (2 images), 1 tabl
