On A = Mp Heronian Triangles And V = Ma Cones, John Hawkins, David Stone Mar 2008

On A = Mp Heronian Triangles And V = Ma Cones, John Hawkins, David Stone

John B. Hawkins

A determining all such triangles with area = m (perimeter). We also consider the analogous problem of finding cones with integer radius and height satisfying volume = m (total surface area). Recent activity and results on both problems have appeared recently in the School Science and Mathematics Problem Section and in the Mathematics Magazine, where our conjecture that the largest A = mP triangle is m2 +2, (4m2 +1)2,(16m4 +12m2) +1 was settled affirmatively.

Mobile Instructional Laboratory Environments And Their Use In Computing Sciences, Stefan Robila, Bert Wachsmuth, Christelle Scharff, Jeffrey Popyack Dec 2007

Mobile Instructional Laboratory Environments And Their Use In Computing Sciences, Stefan Robila, Bert Wachsmuth, Christelle Scharff, Jeffrey Popyack

Bert Wachsmuth

The term 'mobile instructional laboratory' refers to using mobile computing devices such as notebooks for transforming a classroom into a lab setting with the goal of enhancing the practical experience, interaction and understanding. A major goal in all the computing disciplines is to provide students with hands on activities that will enhance their learning of concepts and their professional experience. As such, CS and IT programs require investments in dedicated laboratories that will support applied activities for most of the courses. Unfortunately, space and other resource limitations usually do not allow for permanent creation of such labs. In parallel, current …

Tuberculosis Screening For International Students At A Midwestern Liberal Arts College, Grace Goetzke, Victor Addona, Chad M. Topaz Dec 2007

Tuberculosis Screening For International Students At A Midwestern Liberal Arts College, Grace Goetzke, Victor Addona, Chad M. Topaz

Chad M. Topaz

Participants: 318 international students at Macalester College screened for latent tuberculosis infection via tuberculin skin tests (TST) from 2004-2008. Objective: To estimate positive TST probability based on countries of residency and history of BCG vaccination. Methods and Results: 52% of students had a positive TST. Logistic regression modeling shows that a positive TST is insignificantly correlated with history of BCG vaccination (p=0.910) but is significantly negatively correlated with residence in the European Union (p=0.00502) and the Middle East (p=0.00451), and positively correlated with residence in North America (p=0.00151). Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between TST result and residence in …
