(Seven Principles For Good Practice In Legal Education): Principle 5: Good Practice Emphasizes Time On Task, R. Lawrence Dessem Oct 1999

(Seven Principles For Good Practice In Legal Education): Principle 5: Good Practice Emphasizes Time On Task, R. Lawrence Dessem

Faculty Publications

Time plus energy equals learning. Efficient time-management skills are critical for students and professors alike. Allocating realistic amounts of time means effective learning for students and effective teaching for faculty. How an institution defines time expectations for students, faculty, administrators, and other professional staff can establish the basis for high performance for all. The fifth principle for good practice in undergraduate education is almost a truism: good practice emphasizes time on task. In their original statement of the seven principles, Arthur W. Chickering and Zelda F. Gamson expressed this as a mathematical formula: “Time plus energy equals learning.” Time on …

Rhythmic Growth Of Target And Spiral Spherulites Of Crystalline Polymer Blends, Thein Kyu, Hw Chiu, Aj Guenthner, Y Okabe, H Saito, T Inoue Oct 1999

Rhythmic Growth Of Target And Spiral Spherulites Of Crystalline Polymer Blends, Thein Kyu, Hw Chiu, Aj Guenthner, Y Okabe, H Saito, T Inoue

College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering

Numerical calculations reveal that the target and spiral growth patterns in spherulites can be generated from the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations (model C) by coupling a conserved compositional order parameter and a nonconserved crystal ordering parameter. Of particular interest is that the periodic concentric rings (target) or the spirals at the spherulitic core remain stationary in both the crystal (orientational) ordering field and the concentration field. Another intriguing observation is that the growth of target and spiral spherulites occurs in a stepwise fashion in synchronism with the rhythmic energy dissipation during crystallization.

A Game-Theoretic Formulation Of Multi-Agent Resource Allocation, Jonathan Bredin, Rajiv T. Maheswaran, Cagri Imer, Tamer Basar, David Kotz, Daniela Rus Oct 1999

A Game-Theoretic Formulation Of Multi-Agent Resource Allocation, Jonathan Bredin, Rajiv T. Maheswaran, Cagri Imer, Tamer Basar, David Kotz, Daniela Rus

Computer Science Technical Reports

This paper considers resource allocation in a network with mobile agents competing for computational priority. We formulate this problem as a multi-agent game with the players being agents purchasing service from a common server. We show that there exists a computable Nash equilibrium when agents have perfect information into the future. We simulate a network of hosts and agents using our strategy to show that our resource-allocation mechanism effectively prioritizes agents according to their endowments.

Sensitivity Of The North Atlantic Basin To Cyclic Climatic Forcing During The Early Cretaceous, Walter E. Dean, Michael A. Arthur Oct 1999

Sensitivity Of The North Atlantic Basin To Cyclic Climatic Forcing During The Early Cretaceous, Walter E. Dean, Michael A. Arthur

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Striking cyclic interbeds of laminated dark-olive to black marlstone and bioturbated white to light-gray limestone of Neocomian (Early Cretaceous) age have been recovered at Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Project (ODP) sites in the North Atlantic. These Neocomian sequences are equivalent to the Maiolica Formation that outcrops in the Tethyan regions of the Mediterranean and to thick limestone sequences of the Vocontian Trough of France. This lithologic unit marks the widespread deposition of biogenic carbonate over much of the North Atlantic and Tethyan seafloor during a time of overall low sealevel and a deep carbonate compensation depth. …


Teaching The Retrenchment Generation: When Sapphire Meets Socrates At The Intersection Of Race, Gender, And Authority, Pamela J. Smith Oct 1999

Teaching The Retrenchment Generation: When Sapphire Meets Socrates At The Intersection Of Race, Gender, And Authority, Pamela J. Smith

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

This Article is about perceptions and the negative sociological factors that feed these perceptions as Black women attempt to teach the Retrenchment Generation. For purposes of this Article, the Retrenchment Generation is not limited to any particular age group or period of time. Rather, the Retrenchment Generation refers to a state of mind that makes race-based, sex-based, and race/sex-based microaggressions acceptable and in fact normal. The Retrenchment Generation is defined by the synergism that is created by racial isolation, particularly in the educational arena, retrenchment fervor, and the presumption of incompetence that inflexibly presumes that all professional Black women are …


Mreps: A New Object Representation For Graphics, Andrew L. Thall Oct 1999

Mreps: A New Object Representation For Graphics, Andrew L. Thall

Link Foundation Modeling, Simulation and Training Fellowship Reports

M-reps are a multiscale approach to the modeling and rendering of 30 solid geometry. Traditional geometric models, whether b-reps or CSG, are represented at infinitesimal spatial scale and then require simplification to meet needs requiting coarser scale or smaller data sets. We have developed a model that is designed at successively smaller scales and supports a coarse-to-fine hierarchy in design, rende1ing, physical deformation, and other graphics operations. We base our representation on figural models, defined at coarse scale by a hierarchy of figures - protrusions, indentations, corners, neighboring figures, and included figures - which simultaneously represent solid regions and their …

Critical Behavior Of Disordered Quantum Magnets: The Relevance Of Rare Regions, Rajesh S. Narayanan, Thomas Vojta, Dietrich Belitz, Theodore R. Kirkpatrick Oct 1999

Critical Behavior Of Disordered Quantum Magnets: The Relevance Of Rare Regions, Rajesh S. Narayanan, Thomas Vojta, Dietrich Belitz, Theodore R. Kirkpatrick

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The effects of quenched disorder on the critical properties of itinerant quantum antiferromagnets and ferromagnets are considered. Particular attention is paid to locally ordered spatial regions that are formed in the presence of quenched disorder even when the bulk system is still in the paramagnetic phase. These rare regions or local moments are reflected in the existence of spatially inhomogeneous saddle points of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson functional. We derive an effective theory that takes into account small fluctuations around all of these saddle points. The resulting free energy functional contains a new term in addition to those obtained within the conventional …


Doppler Shift Anisotropy In Small Angle Neutron Scattering, Barbara Ellen Wyslouzil, Gerald Wilemski, Janice L. Cheung, Reinhard Strey, John G. Barker Oct 1999

Doppler Shift Anisotropy In Small Angle Neutron Scattering, Barbara Ellen Wyslouzil, Gerald Wilemski, Janice L. Cheung, Reinhard Strey, John G. Barker

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The two-dimensional patterns in our small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments from rapidly moving aerosols are anisotropic. To test the kinematic theory of two-body scattering that describes the anisotropy, we conducted SANS experiments using a constant source of D2O aerosol with droplets moving at ~440 m/s, and varied the neutron velocity from 267 to 800 m/s. The theoretically predicted anisotropy of the laboratory scattering intensities agrees well with the experimental results. Based on an analysis of the scattering intensity in the Guinier region, we also determined the particle velocity. The results are in very good agreement with independent …

We share a widely-held vision that tomorrow's health care will be delivered by a distributed team using a knowledge based process that is focused on prevention and wellness. Caregivers will be able to treat and monitor patients where and when needed, capturing data as a natural byproduct of care delivery. Clinical teams with a wide range of skills and expertise will deliver consistent, quality care based on timely, situation-specific knowledge and guidance derived from outcomes evidence. That same knowledge will support advances in healthcare research and education. Home care and remote medicine will increase, reducing the need for high-cost hospitalization. …
