Nanosat One Critical Design Review: The Complete Review, Robert J. Twiggs, Christopher Kitts, Jonathan How

Curriculum And Assessment : A Question Of Politics?, Christine R. Brew, Gilah C. Leder

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) has been subject to ongoing modifications since its full introduction in 1992. These changes were largely driven by vocal opponents of this educational reform. In this paper we give voice to teachers charged with implementing the curriculum and assessment directives of the VCE. Specifically, we draw on the experiences of close to 500 senior mathematics teachers – through interview and survey data - to consider the impact on them of the evolution of the VCE.

Second-Harmonic And Sum-Frequency Imaging Of Organic Nanocrystals With Photon Scanning Tunneling Microscope, Yuzhen Shen, Jacek Swiatkiewicz, Jeffrey G. Winiarz, Przemyslaw P. Markowicz, Paras N. Prasad

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Second-harmonic generation and sum-frequency generation with photon scanning tunneling microscopy and shear-force detection are used to map the nonlinear optical response and the surface topograph of N-(4-nitrophenyl)-(L)-prolinol crystals with a subdiffraction-limited resolution. The domain-size dependence of the spatial feature is obtained, which shows the local orientational distribution of the optical near field radiated by nonlinear nanocrystals and reveals the difference between nanoscopic and macroscopic second-order optical nonlinearities of molecular crystals.

Cerium Liii-Edge X-Ray Absorption Study Of The Ceₓfe4-YCoYSb₁₂ Skutterudites, Fernande Grandjean, Gary J. Long, Robert Cortès, Donald T. Morelli, Gregory P. Meisner

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The cerium L_III-edge x-ray absorption near-edge spectra of the Ce_xFe_4-yCo_ySb₁₂ compounds have been obtained at 295 K and unambiguously indicate that cerium is in the 4f¹ electronic ground state for all values of 0.22≤x≤0.98 and 0.0≤y≤3.5. This stable trivalent state of cerium is in agreement with the proposed (CeFe₄Sb₁₂) _1-α(Co₄Sb₁₂)α, solid solution structure, in which the cerium atoms are always surrounded by twelve antimony first neighbors and six iron second neighbors, the observed magnetic properties of CeFe₄Sb₁₂ and …

Binary Condensation In A Supersonic Nozzle, Barbara Ellen Wyslouzil, Christopher H. Heath, Janice L. Cheung, Gerald Wilemski

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We present data from the first systematic studies of binary condensation in supersonic nozzles. The apparatus used to conduct the experiments is described in detail, and the important issues of stability and reproducibility of the experiments are discussed. Experiments were conducted with water, ethanol, propanol, and binary mixtures of these compounds. Onset was determined in the temperature range of 190-215 K, and for each mixture composition the pressures of the condensible species at an onset temperature of 207 K were determined. For the ideal ethanol-propanol mixtures, the onset pressures at constant temperature vary almost linearly between those of the pure …

Detection Of Solid Pigment In Dermatoscopy Images Using Texture Analysis, Murali Anantha, William V. Stoecker, Randy Hays Moss

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Background/aims: Epiluminescence microscopy (ELM), also known as dermoscopy or dermatoscopy, is a non-invasive, in vivo technique, that permits visualization of features of pigmented melanocytic neoplasms that are not discernable by examination with the naked eye. ELM offers a completely new range of visual features. One such feature is the solid pigment, also called the blotchy pigment or dark structureless area. Our goal was to automatically detect this feature and determine whether its presence is useful in distinguishing benign from malignant pigmented lesions.

Methods: Here, a texture-based algorithm is developed for the detection of solid pigment. The factors d and a …

Adaptive Response Of Scaphyglottis Acostaei (Orchidaceae) To Microhabitat Variability, November 2000, Andrew Fisher

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Orchids exhibit many adaptations, including pseudobulbs which store water and root velamen, which assists in water uptake, to deal with the harsh, water stressed conditions that are an integral part of epiphytic life. Within a single host tree the intensity of water stress varies between microhabitats caused by presence of moss and bark fissures to reduce evaporation of water, and positions that increase or decrease exposure to wind, precipitation and sun. The orchid, Scaphyglottis acostaei exhibits variable pseudobulb sizes and water holding potential of velamen, possibly as a result of different levels of water stress and water availability. In this …

Acidic Environments Within Tank Bromeliads And Its Effect On Microorganism Community Richness, November 2000, Jennifer Wade

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Elfin forest tank bromeliads were shown to have lower pH when positioned below mats of epiphytic bryophyte than in open gaps. The effect of lower pH was studied to see if it influenced microorganism community abundance, species richness, evenness and diversity. It was found that increasing levels of pH over a range of 4.3 – 5.8, increased population sizes of most microorganisms. In fact abundance of individuals in the entire community spanned over an order of magnitude (82- 1936 individuals). Species richness also increased with pH but only as a function of increased abundance of individuals. One species richness was …
