Work In Progress: Combining Concept Inventories With Rapid Feedback To Enhance Learning, John Chen, Jennifer Kadlowec, Dexter Whittinghill

Mechanical Engineering

In this project our goal is to adapt the Concept Inventory for frequent classroom use, and to implement it in a system to provide rapid feedback to students of their understanding of key concepts being presented. The feedback system acts as the focal point and catalyst to encourage students, working in pairs, to assist each other in correcting misconceptions or deepening each other’s understanding of the topic at hand. Furthermore, the system allows the professor to assess the students’ level of comprehension (or misconception) in a just-in-time fashion, and thus guides his or her pacing and coverage of the material. …

Phylogenetic Inference In Rafflesiales: The Influence Of Rate Heterogeneity And Horizontal Gene Transfer, Daniel L Nickrent, Albert Blarer, Yin-Long Qiu, Romina Vidal-Russell, Frank E Anderson

Publications

The phylogenetic relationships among the holoparasites of Rafflesiales have remained enigmatic for over a century. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies using the mitochondrial matR gene placed Rafflesia, Rhizanthes and Sapria (Rafflesiaceae s. str.) in the angiosperm order Malpighiales and Mitrastema (Mitrastemonaceae) in Ericales. These phylogenetic studies did not, however, sample two additional groups traditionally classified within Rafflesiales (Apodantheaceae and Cytinaceae). Here we provide molecular phylogenetic evidence using DNA sequence data from mitochondrial and nuclear genes for representatives of all genera in Rafflesiales. RESULTS: Our analyses indicate that the phylogenetic affinities of the large-flowered clade and Mitrastema, ascertained using mitochondrial matR, are …

Survey And Census Techniques For Canids, E. M. Gese

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

We already know that the status and distribution of canid populations throughout the world is of growing concern for biologists and the public alike. Habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, human persecution, decreases in prey, disease, poaching, and increased competition with other carnivores due to reduced space and habitat, have led to some canid species facing extinction, while others occupy only a fraction of their former range. While reintroductions of some species have been successful (e.g., grey wolves Canis lupus to the Northern Rockies of the U.S.), other species face an uncertain future (e.g., African wild dogs Lycaon pictus). Paramount …

Location Of The Optical Reverse Shock In The Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant, Jon A. Morse, Robert A. Fesen, Roger A. Chevalier, Kazimierz J. Borkowski

Dartmouth Scholarship

We use two epochs of Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images separated by 2 yr to determine the location and propagation of the reverse shock (RS) in the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). The images trace optical line emission from fast-moving knots and filaments of highly processed ejecta as they cross the RS, become heated and compressed, and radiatively cool. At numerous positions around the optical shell, new emission features are seen in the 2002 images that were not yet visible in the 2000 exposures. In a few instances emission features seen in the first epoch have completely disappeared …

Economic Systems Of Oecd Nations: Impact And Evolution, Frederic L. Pryor

Economics Faculty Works

This essay argues that economic systems should be defined in terms of clusters of complementary institutions. To show how such an approach can be carried out, I use a cluster analysis technique and data on forty different economic institutions in OECD nations to isolate four quite different economic systems. After specifying the most important institutional clusters in each system, I then examine what impact these economic systems have on various indicators of economic performance. Finally, I show how such an approach allows particular evolutionary patterns of the systems to be analyzed.

Towards A Perception Based Image Editing System, Reynold Bailey, Raquel Bujans, Cindy Grimm

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

The primary goal of this research is to develop a perception based image editing system. The input to this system will be either a rendered image, a photograph, or a high dynamic range image. We are currently developing techniques that allow the user to edit these images in a perceptually intuitive manner. Specifically we are considering the following image editing features: (1) warm - cool image adjustment, (2) intensity adjustment, (3) contrast adjustment, and (4) detail adjustment. The algorithms we are developing can be used either in an interactive editing system or for automatic image adjustment.
