An effort to construct a model of the thermal properties of materials based on theoretical thermo-electromagnetic models, to construct a data base of the dense cultural hospital scene according to Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center (DMAAC) specifications, and to design and implement a program to evaluate the tonal model and generate imagery…

This is one of a series of geometry modules developed for use by secondary students in a laboratory setting. This module was conceived as an alternative approach to the usual practice of giving Euclid's parallel postulate and then mentioning that alternate postulates would lead to an alternate geometry or geometries. Instead, the student is led…

This module uses concepts of fingerprinting to illustrate and apply selected mathematical ideas. Specifically, students participate in activities that require pattern recognition, measuring using mm and cm, and identification of similar patterns. Inking of students' prints is done. Teaching suggestions are provided. (MK)

This unit is designed to be used primarily by students who have some interest in bicycles. It is intended to draw them into mathematical thinking in an interesting way. This unit is laboratory oriented. It will be necessary that the student have access to a bicycle in the classroom for several of the exercises (unless they are done primarily at…

THE BASIC INTENTION OF THE STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE MENTAL RETARDATION IN TERMS OF PERCEPTUAL AND RESPONSE ABILITY DEFINITIONS, TO TEST THESE ABILITY DEFINITIONS OBJECTIVELY, AND TO EVALUATE THEM AS THEY RELATE TO THE INTELLIGENCE FACTOR. BOTH PERCEPTUAL AND RESPONSE FACTORS WERE EXAMINED FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MENTAL DISTURBANCES WITH REFERENCE…

THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE ORGANIZATION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES FOR A REGIONAL LABORATORY IN THE APPALACHIAN REGION. A SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGOUND AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN THIS AREA IS INITIALLY PRESENTED. THE REGIONAL LABORATORY WAS IMPLEMENTED WITH THE GOALS OF REDUCING CULTURAL DISADVANTAGEMENT,…

A 10-WEEK INTENSIVE COURSE IN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE WAS DEVELOPED AT MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN COLLEGE AND CONSIDERABLE EXPERIMENTING WAS DONE WITH DIFFERENT METHODS, MATERIALS, AND TECHNIQUES. THE GOVERNING ASSUMPTIONS WERE THAT LANGUAGE BASICALLY CONSISTS OF SPEECH OR SOUND, AND THAT THE MASTERY OF A SOUND SYSTEM INVOLVES THE MASTERY OF THE…

AN INVESTIGATION WAS MADE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONTRASTING ORGANIZATIONAL TYPES CREATED IN THE LABORATORY SETTING AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THREE TYPES OF ROLE STRAINS--ROLE UNCERTAINTY, ROLE DISPARITY, AND ROLE INCOMPATIBILITY. THE TWO ORGANIZATION TYPES STUDIED DIFFERED IN DEGREE OF SPECIALIZATION, EMPHASIS ON RULES AND REGULATIONS, AMOUNT…

DESIGNED TO ASSIST SPANISH TEACHERS USING AN AUDIOLINGUAL APPROACH, THIS HANDBOOK DESCRIBES AND ILLUSTRATES TEACHING TECHNIQUES SUITABLE FOR FIRST-LEVEL CLASSES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS, AND SUGGESTS PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH CLASSES. MAJOR SECTIONS DEAL WITH MANAGING THE PREREADING PHASE, TEACHING THE FOUR…

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WHICH ARISE WITH THE USE OF FILM AND TELEVISION IN INSTRUCTION WERE INVESTIGATED. STUDY CONSIDERATIONS WERE FOCUSED ON DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN RELEVANT AND IRREVELANT LEARNING BY COMPARING LABORATORY TEACHING TECHNIQUES FOR AN ENGINEERING COURSE WITH FILM PRESENTATIONS OF THE SAME MATERIAL. THERE WERE NO OVERALL SIGNIFICANT…

THIS PROGRAMED TEXT ON THE LEARNING OF FRENCH CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS - THE SOUND SYSTEM AND READING, AND BASIC VOCABULARY. THE TEXT WAS REVISED FROM AN EARLIER PROGRAM, TITLED AUDIOLINGUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMING (ALLP), INVOLVING THE STUDIES OF SEVERAL LANGUAGES. PART 1 OF THE TEXT (350 FRAMES) PROVIDES EXERCISES IN PRONUNCIATION AND READING AND IS…

The objective of this project was to develop and test a method of offering technical education to individuals employed in the electrical power industry. Representatives from industry were invited to an advisory council meeting where attention was focused on the needs of the industry. This information was used to define an extensive curriculum, and…

This publication was developed as a portion of a two-semester sequence commencing at either the sixth or seventh term of the undergraduate program in electrical engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. The materials of the two courses, produced by a National Science Foundation grant, are concerned with power conversion systems comprising power…

This publication is a Mechanical Engineering Laboratory Manual designed to be used by technical institute students in Mechanical Engineering Technology Programs. The experiments are introductory in nature and embrace the fields of applied thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, refrigeration, heat transfer and basic instrumentation. There are 20…

A feasibility study was conducted to examine in detail, analyze, and describe the development and operation (system effectiveness and efficiency) of a patient learning center in a MEDDAC, and to provide such information to the Surgeon General for use in planning future health care delivery to military-care eligible beneficiaries. Study objectives…
