Is The Educational Level Of Technology Coordinators Aligned With International Standards?, Keith Alan Platte Oct 1997

Is The Educational Level Of Technology Coordinators Aligned With International Standards?, Keith Alan Platte

Masters Theses

School districts that employ technology coordinators have not fully implemented standards set by the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE) for technology coordinators. This research examines the role of the technology coordinator, the ISTE standards for technology coordinators, graduate programs available to technology coordinators, and job descriptions of technology coordinators. This research also includes the results of a self-assessment survey of technology coordinators in southwest Michigan. The average proficiency of technology coordinators on select ISTE benchmarks is 2.54 on a 3.0 scale (3.0 is proficient). However, their proficiency level is considerably lower when most of their skills are attained …


System Identification And Control Of A 3d Truss Structure Using Plid And Lqg, Phillip Vallone Oct 1997

System Identification And Control Of A 3d Truss Structure Using Plid And Lqg, Phillip Vallone

Theses

This thesis deals with the experimental application of a system identification tech nique called pseudo-linear identification (PLID). PLID is a discrete-time, multi-input, multi-output (MEMO), state space, simultaneous parameter estimator and one step ahead state predictor of linear time invariant systems. No measurements are assumed perfect under PLED; that is the inputs and outputs are allowed to have zero mean white gaussian (ZMWG) additive noise. Furthermore, the states are also assumed to have additive ZMWG noise. Like most system identification techniques, PLED requires the system to be completely controllable and observable under the given actuator and sensor suite. The only firm …


The Design And Modeling Of Input And Output Modules For An Atm Network Switch, Darin Murphy Oct 1997

The Design And Modeling Of Input And Output Modules For An Atm Network Switch, Darin Murphy

Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to design, model, and simulate both an input and an output module for an ATM network switch. These devices are used to interface an ATM switch with the physical protocol that is transporting data along the actual transmission medium. The I/O modules have been designed specifically to interface with the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) protocol. This thesis studies the ATM protocol and examines the issues involved with designing an ATM I/O module chipset. A model of the design was then implemented in both C++ and \TTDL. These models were simulated in order to verify …


An Ice Shelf Mechanism For Heinrich Layer Production, Christina L. Hulbe Oct 1997

An Ice Shelf Mechanism For Heinrich Layer Production, Christina L. Hulbe

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

The effect of an ice shelf in the Labrador Sea on ice-rafted sediment delivery to the glacial North Atlantic is investigated using a finite element numerical model of ice shelf flow. Discharge into the shelf from Hudson Strait creates a thick central core, extending downstream into the shelf, that is flanked by relatively thin ice. Melting at the base of the deep keel would produce cool, fresh water which would rise to refreeze along the keel's flanks. Debris deposited by melting deep central ice could create the Heinrich layers observed in the Labrador Sea while the debris-rich ice protected by …


Shock Waves In Nonequilibrium Gases And Plasmas, William M. Hilbun Oct 1997

Shock Waves In Nonequilibrium Gases And Plasmas, William M. Hilbun

Theses and Dissertations

An analysis and assessment of three mechanisms describing plasma/shock wave interactions was conducted under conditions typically encountered in a weakly ionized glow discharge. The mechanisms of ion-acoustic wave damping, post-shock energy addition and thermal inhomogeneities were examined by numerically solving the Euler equations with appropriate source terms adapted for each mechanism. Ion-acoustic wave damping was examined by modeling the partially ionized plasma as two fluids in one spatial dimension using the Riemann problem as a basis. Post-shock energy addition in the form of nonequilibrium vibrational energy relaxation was also examined in one spatial dimension using the Riemann problem as a …

Site-Dependent Regulation Of Population Size: A New Synthesis, Nicholas L. Rodenhouse, Thomas W. Sherry, Richard T. Holmes Oct 1997

Site-Dependent Regulation Of Population Size: A New Synthesis, Nicholas L. Rodenhouse, Thomas W. Sherry, Richard T. Holmes

Dartmouth Scholarship

The nature and extent of population regulation remains a principal unanswered question for many types of organisms, despite extensive research. In this paper, we provide a new synthesis of theoretical and empirical evidence that elucidates and extends a mechanism of population regulation for species whose individuals preemptively use sites that differ in suitability. The sites may be territories, refuges from predation, oviposition sites, etc. The mechanism, which we call site dependence, is not an alternative to density dependence; rather, site dependence is one of several mechanisms that potentially generate the negative feedback required for regulation. Site dependence has two major …

First Observation Of Τ→3ΠηνΤ And Τ→ F1ΠνΤ Decays, T. Bergfeld, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We have observed new channels for τ decays with an η in the final state. We study 3-prong tau decays, using the η →γγ and η → 3π 0 decay modes and 1-prong decays with two π 0’s using the η →γγ channel. The measured branching fractions are B(τ- → π-π-π+ηντ) = (3. -0.5+0.6 ± 0.6) X 10-4 and B(τ- → π-2π 0ηντ) = (1.4 ± 0.6 ± 0.3) X 10-4. We observe clear evidence for f1 …


Single-Shot Detection Of Wavepacket Evolution, M. B. Campbell, Thomas J. Bensky, Robert R. Jones Sep 1997

Single-Shot Detection Of Wavepacket Evolution, M. B. Campbell, Thomas J. Bensky, Robert R. Jones

Physics

We have developed a new instrument for monitoring electronic wavepacket dynamics using a single electromagnetic pulse pair. The operation of the device is analogous to that of single-shot cross-correlators commonly used to monitor the temporal evolution of short laser pulses. We have used the instrument to probe wavepacket evolution over time scales ranging from 100 psec to less than 1 fsec. The device reduces the amount of time required to collect pump-probe time delay data by orders of magnitude, greatly reducing the deleterious effects of experimental drifts. In addition, the single-shot feature provides real-time feedback as to the affect of …

Effects Of Self-Avoidance On The Tubular Phase Of Anisotropic Membranes, Mark Bowick, Emmanuel Guitter Sep 1997

Effects Of Self-Avoidance On The Tubular Phase Of Anisotropic Membranes, Mark Bowick, Emmanuel Guitter

Physics - All Scholarship

We study the tubular phase of self-avoiding anisotropic membranes. We discuss the renormalizability of the model Hamiltonian describing this phase and derive from a renormalization group equation some general scaling relations for the exponents of the model. We show how particular choices of renormalization factors reproduce the Gaussian result, the Flory theory and the Gaussian Variational treatment of the problem. We then study the perturbative renormalization to one loop in the self-avoiding parameter using dimensional regularization and an epsilon-expansion about the upper critical dimension, and determine the critical exponents to first order in epsilon.
