Mixed Covolume Methods On Rectangular Grids For Elliptic Problems, So-Hsiang Chou, Do Y. Kwak Jan 2000

Mixed Covolume Methods On Rectangular Grids For Elliptic Problems, So-Hsiang Chou, Do Y. Kwak

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We consider a covolume method for a system of first order PDEs resulting from the mixed formulation of the variable-coefficient-matrix Poisson equation with the Neumann boundary condition. The system may be used to represent the Darcy law and the mass conservation law in anisotropic porous media flow. The velocity and pressure are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas space on rectangles. The method was introduced by Russell [Rigorous Block- centered Discretizations on Irregular Grids: Improved Simulation of Complex Reservoir Systems, Reservoir Simulation Research Corporation, Denver, CO, 1995] as a control-volume mixed method and has been extensively tested by Jones [A …

Planning Design Meetings, Christopher Von Ende Jan 2000

Planning Design Meetings, Christopher Von Ende

Honors Capstones

There was a lack of programming directed toward students in the Chicago graphic design community. A conference organized specifically for students would allow them to benefit from the resources that the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts offers. It would also help to create a community of student graphic designers which could gain knowledge and insight from each other. I decided to organize a student conference at Northern Illinois University. My past experiences at graphic design conferences along with my position of student representative on the AIGA Chicago board and the research I conducted on methods of …

Portraits Of Leadership: Relationships Among Gender, Age, And Creativity, Diane Caton Desrosiers Jan 2000

Portraits Of Leadership: Relationships Among Gender, Age, And Creativity, Diane Caton Desrosiers

Educational Studies Dissertations

This Portraits of Leadership research focuses on using children's artwork to study girls' perceptions of leadership. 244 school age children were asked to draw their image of a leader and to write descriptions of why they chose this person as a leader. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted to determine the relationships among gender, age, and creativity and choice of leader in drawing and written descriptions. Results indicate that, though both girls and boys chose males as leaders more often than females, girls' portraits conformed to the literature regarding gender roles and traditional leadership styles. Implications are suggested for educational …

Community Service Learning: Pursuing Jewish Ideals Of Compassion And Justice, Joel Westheimer Jan 2000

Community Service Learning: Pursuing Jewish Ideals Of Compassion And Justice, Joel Westheimer

Special Topics, General

Service learning involves community service activities tied to the academic curriculum. It has strong roots in the progressive philosophy of turn-of-the-century educators like John Dewey, Harold Rugg, and William Kilpatrick, but its Widespread popularity is a contemporary phenomenon. A recent study by the National Center for Education Statistics reveals that 83 percent of high schools currently offer community service opportunities (compared with 27 percent in 1984). School-based service learning is among the fastest growing and popular education reforms of the past three decades. Jewish educators have seen similar

Fages' Theorem And Answer Set Programming, Yuliya Lierler, Esta Erdem, Vladimir Lifschitz Jan 2000

Fages' Theorem And Answer Set Programming, Yuliya Lierler, Esta Erdem, Vladimir Lifschitz

Computer Science Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

We generalize a theorem by François Fages that describes the relationship between the completion semantics and the answer set semantics for logic programs with negotiation as failure. The study of this relationship is important in connection with the emergence of answer set programming. Whenever the two semantics are equivalent, answer sets can be computed by a satisfiability solver, and the use of answer set solvers such as SMODELS and DLV is unnecessary. A logic programming representation of the blocks world due to Ilkka Niemelä is discussed as an example.
