Teaching Students How to Think Like Lawyers : Integrating Socratic Method with the Writing Process

Professor Beazley begins this article with an overview of how Socratic method and the writing process have traditionally been used and how they can be integrated in the legal writing course. The remainder of the article is devoted to an analysis of how this integration can be achieved in a five-step structured dialogue. She and her co-author identified these five steps as: (1) the assignment, or instigating question ; (2) the student\u27s written answer, in a series of focused drafts with private memos ; (3) the teacher\u27s written response, using Socratic questions whenever possible; (4) the conference, where the teacher can use Socratic method most effectively; and (5) the student\u27s revision

The formation, stability, and suitability of n-type junctions in germanium formed by solid phase epitaxial recrystallization

Design and optimization of n-type doped regions in germanium by solid phase epitaxial recrystallization (SPER) have been studied by the authors. A systematic study is presented of process variables that influence activation and thermal stability, including preamorphization, coimplants, recrystallization temperature, and postrecrystallization thermal treatments. Unlike silicon, activation after recrystallization in germanium is not optimum where the postrecrystallization thermal budget is kept to a minimum. With the aid of modeling, a maximum peak activation of 7 X 10(19) cm(-3) was extracted. A steady increase in sheet resistance during postrecrystallization anneals confirms the formation of metastable activation by SPER. It is predicted that active concentrations of 6-8 X 10(19) cm(-3) are sufficient to meet targets for sub-20 nm technologies. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. (doi: 10.1063/1.3452345

Providing Services to Family Caregivers at Home: Challenges and Recommendations for Health and Human Service Professions

The home represents a relatively new arena for practice for most service providers, especially those working with families of persons with dementia. This article describes four key factors to consider when working with caregivers of persons with dementia in their homes. The authors also discuss seven common challenges of service provision in the home and recommend strategies for addressing these challenges

Nuclear fusion reactor materials: modelling atomic-scale irradiation damage in metal

Achieving nuclear fusion as an energy source on Earth is a practical goal that relies on continuing scientific and engineering innovation. Functional fusion reactors around the world today allow scientists and engineers to plan improvements that will eventually allow for greater energy output than the input required to operate the machine (including heating the plasma and operating the superconducting electromagnets that confine the plasma, among other energy inputs). The fusion reaction between nuclei of hydrogen isotopes is a carbon-free source of massive amounts of energy that could be paramount in a global turn towards greener energy. The fusion fuel needed to provide one person’s energy use for 100 years (assuming 20 kWh per day) is contained within roughly one and a half bathtubs of water and 3 laptop batteries. Given the enormous payoff of fusion, continued research and development are of great interest so that current challenges of heating and confining plasma, mitigating plasma disruptions, improving efficiency of magnets, and extending the lifetime of materials subjected to the harsh conditions surrounding the plasma may be overcome. Fusion reactor materials research carried out here at the BSC contributes to this ambitious goal. The idealistic goal for fusion materials research is to provide predictions about material behavior with the accuracy of quantum mechanical calculations at the scale of a full fusion reactor. Using strategic approximations and working at a small scale, computational fusion materials researchers can accurately reproduce and explain experimentally observed physical phenomena, such as the formation of microstructural defects in metals under neutron-irradiation, and offer the best predictions available for behavior of materials in future fusion reactor environments, where data about what will happen simply do not exist yet. In the study presented here, we examined the thermal conductivity, or how quickly a material allows heat to flow, of tungsten (W). W has been selected for plasma-facing components in ITER, which is currently under construction. We used LAMMPS atomic modelling of materials software and found that the thermal conductivity of W is significantly decreased in the presence of defects
