Cull Instructors' Use Of And Attitudes Toward The Self-Access Learning Center, Pornpim Kusiripanth Nov 2006

Cull Instructors' Use Of And Attitudes Toward The Self-Access Learning Center, Pornpim Kusiripanth

PASAA

Learner autonomy should be promoted in order that students can learn more by themselves. Teachers play very significant roles in guiding students to this rather new concept. The Self-Access Learning Center at CULI can be a good start for English teachers to enhance the concept of learner autonomy to CU students. However, it seems that both the teachers and students here have not been motivated enough to use the center. The current study shows that most instructors at CULI believe that the SALC has an important role in promoting independent learning and students should be encouraged to come and work …

Problem-Solving Model Of Design With A Controllable Determinization Level, Sonya S. Kwak, Myung-Suk Kim Nov 2006

Problem-Solving Model Of Design With A Controllable Determinization Level, Sonya S. Kwak, Myung-Suk Kim

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The objective of this study is to develop a problem-solving model of design with a controllable determinization level which satisfies both analytic and synthetic aspects of design activities. Rooted on the problem-solution duality model, a goal-oriented problem-solving model, which is based on the triad relationship among a problem, a solution, and a goal, is constructed. In the problem-solving model of design, the goal area is distinguished from the solution area, and the concept of “determinization” which is the process of transforming the indeterminate solution area into the quasi-determinate2 goal area is established. The determinization level controls the portion between discovery …


What Are The Visual Communication Requirements Of A Built Environment?, Robert Harland Nov 2006

What Are The Visual Communication Requirements Of A Built Environment?, Robert Harland

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper aims to explore the role that visual communication plays in the urban environment, and the potential for further discussion as a single domain. The scope of enquiry covers aspects of Geography, Urban Design and Graphic Design, exploring briefly the broad contexts for the subject, and the relationship between the emerging disciplines that are playing an increasing and highly visible role in how we use public spaces. It concludes that Graphic Design is playing a significant role in determining the success or failure of the multitude of behaviour settings in the built environment, and a closer relationship with Urban …


Testing And Evaluation Of Light Gauge Steel Frame / 9.5 Mm Csp Wood Panel Shear Walls, David Rokas Nov 2006

Testing And Evaluation Of Light Gauge Steel Frame / 9.5 Mm Csp Wood Panel Shear Walls, David Rokas

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The use of light gauge steel framing elements sheathed with wood plywood or oriented strand board are becoming more common in the construction of structural shear walls for low-rise platform frame structural systems in Canada. Canadian standards and codes do not currently outline design methods for this type of wall system. Therefore, research at McGill University is underway to help develop design parameters for seismic and wind loading that can be used in conjunction with the 2005 National Building Code of Canada for this type of shear wall system. The research is based on the monotonic and reversed cyclic testing …


Humidification Factors From Laboratory Studies Of Fresh Smoke From Biomass Fuels, D. E. Day, J. L. Hand, C. M. Carrico, Guenter Engling, W. C. Malm Nov 2006

Humidification Factors From Laboratory Studies Of Fresh Smoke From Biomass Fuels, D. E. Day, J. L. Hand, C. M. Carrico, Guenter Engling, W. C. Malm

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Measurements of smoke aerosol humidification factors were performed in a laboratory for different biomass fuel types and burn conditions. Two nephelometers simultaneously measured dry and humidified light scattering coefficients (bsp(dry) and bsp(RH), respectively), providing the first observations of the temporal evolution of the humidification factor (f(RH) = bsp(RH)/bsp(dry)) for fresh (minutes-old) smoke. Hygroscopic characteristics of the smoke aerosols varied with fuel type and fire conditions, with the mean f(RH) ranging from 1.01 to 1.95 for fresh minutes-old smoke for the relative humidity (RH) range of 70-94%. These f(RH) values exhibited temporal variability, with some fuels alternating from hygroscopic to nonhygroscopic …


Management And Self-Activity: Accounting For The Crisis In Profit-Taking, Stefano Harney Nov 2006

Management And Self-Activity: Accounting For The Crisis In Profit-Taking, Stefano Harney

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

The crisis in measurement identified by those working in the tradition of Italian autonomia has consequences for the critique of accounting and management. If both capitalist work and the commodity are today communicative and overtly political, a critique that merely points to these characteristics will have no transformative effect. This paper uses the Trinidadian Marxist theorist C.L.R. James’s notion of self-activity to suggest that the crisis in measurement is a symptom of the separation of work and value. The institution of forms of self-management and what might be called wars of command begin to replace the governmentality of the wage …


A Brief History Of The 1987 Stock Market Crash With A Discussion Of The Federal Reserve Response, Mark Carlson Nov 2006

A Brief History Of The 1987 Stock Market Crash With A Discussion Of The Federal Reserve Response, Mark Carlson

Documents

Finance and Economics Discussion Series, Divisions of Research & Statistics and Monetary Affairs, Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C.No 2007-13 Abstract The 1987 stock market crash was a major systemic shock. Not only did the prices of many financial assets tumble, but market functioning was severely impaired. This paper reviews the events surrounding the crash and discusses the response of the Federal Reserve, which responded in a number of ways to support the operation of financial markets, including the provision of liquidity, in a highly visible fashion.

The Second-Order Structure Of Immigration Law, Eric A. Posner, Adam B. Cox Nov 2006

The Second-Order Structure Of Immigration Law, Eric A. Posner, Adam B. Cox

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Immigration law concerns both first-order issues about the number and types of immigrants who should be admitted into a country and second-order design issues concerning the legal rules and institutions that are used to implement those first-order policy goals. The literature has focused on the first set of issues and largely neglected the second. In fact, many current controversies concern the design issues. This Article addresses the second-order dimension and argues that a central design choice all states face is whether to evaluate potential immigrants on the basis of pre-entry characteristics (the ex ante approach) or post-entry conduct (the ex …

Analysis Of Two-Dimensional Photoelectron Momentum Spectra And The Effect Of The Long-Range Coulomb Potential In Single Ionization Of Atoms By Intense Lasers, Zhangjin Chen, Toru Morishita, Anh-Thu Le, M. Wickenhauser, X. M. Tong, C. D. Lin Nov 2006

Analysis Of Two-Dimensional Photoelectron Momentum Spectra And The Effect Of The Long-Range Coulomb Potential In Single Ionization Of Atoms By Intense Lasers, Zhangjin Chen, Toru Morishita, Anh-Thu Le, M. Wickenhauser, X. M. Tong, C. D. Lin

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Two-dimensional (2D) electron momentum distributions and energy spectra for multiphoton ionization of atoms by intense laser pulses, calculated by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) for different wavelengths and intensities, are compared to those predicted by the strong-field approximation (SFA). It is shown that the momentum spectra at low energies between the TDSE and SFA are quite different and the differences arise largely from the absence of a long-range Coulomb interaction in the SFA. We further found that the low-energy 2D momentum spectra from the TDSE exhibit ubiquitous fanlike features where the number of stripes is due to a single …

Modeling Local Interest Points For Semantic Detection And Video Search At Trecvid 2006, Yu-Gang Jiang, Xiaoyong Wei, Chong-Wah Ngo, Hung-Khoon Tan, Wanlei Zhao, Xiao Wu Nov 2006

Modeling Local Interest Points For Semantic Detection And Video Search At Trecvid 2006, Yu-Gang Jiang, Xiaoyong Wei, Chong-Wah Ngo, Hung-Khoon Tan, Wanlei Zhao, Xiao Wu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Local interest points (LIPs) and their features have been shown to obtain surprisingly good results in object detection and recognition. Its effectiveness and scalability, however, have not been seriously addressed in large-scale multimedia database, for instance TRECVID benchmark. The goal of our works is to investigate the role and performance of LIPs, when coupling with multi-modality features, for high-level feature extraction and automatic video search.

Dynamic Modeling And Statistical Analysis Of Event Times, Edsel A. Pena Nov 2006

Dynamic Modeling And Statistical Analysis Of Event Times, Edsel A. Pena

Faculty Publications

This review article provides an overview of recent work in the modeling and analysis of recurrent events arising in engineering, reliability, public health, biomedicine and other areas. Recurrent event modeling possesses unique facets making it different and more difficult to handle than single event settings. For instance, the impact of an increasing number of event occurrences needs to be taken into account, the effects of covariates should be considered, potential association among the interevent times within a unit cannot be ignored, and the effects of performed interventions after each event occurrence need to be factored in. A recent general class …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we address the problem of integrating Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, and G-Portal, a web-based digital library, in the geography domain. The integration facilitates the sharing of data and services between the two web applications that are of great value in learning. We first present an overall system architecture for supporting such an integration and address the metadata extraction problem associated with it. In metadata extraction, we focus on extracting and constructing metadata for geo-political regions namely cities and countries. Some empirical performance results will be presented. The paper will also describe the adaptations of G-Portal and Wikipedia …
