Brain-Compatible Study Strategies, Lori Desautels

Scholarship and Professional Work – Education

Driving my 15-year-old daughter home from cross country, I asked her where she learned to study. She replied, "Mom, I have never been taught how to study, we just do it because teachers have way too much to teach! They assume we know, and Cornell Notes are their idea of teaching us how to study!" I thought about this conversation and began to create a template that can hopefully assist students to organize, plan and create capacity in their working memories to learn content for the long term.

Below is a brief, simply-stated template on study skills for fifth grade …

Cataloging Semantic Variation In The Swiss German Dialect, Rebecca J. Adams, Dr. Cynthia L. Hallen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Swiss German is the term for the group of Germanic dialects found in Switzerland. They form a sister language to High, or standard, German. They vary significantly from standard German in phonology, syntax, and in semantics . My research project on Swiss German was divided into three parts. First, using information from several books on the history and development of Swiss German, I investigated some of the important points of the dialect itself: its roots; some of the postulated changes that it has undergone; its development from Old High German; and its present status in modern Swiss diglossia. The literature …

Assessment Of The Effectiveness Of An Aid For The Development Of The Kinetic Skills Required For T.I.G. Welding, Maurice Collins, Robert Morris

Conference papers

This action research project was carried out in the Technological University Dublin, Ireland. The authors are both Lecturers of Engineering in this college and have a keen interest in providing the best possible aids to their students learning. Three groups of engineering apprentices and one group of part time students took part in this project. At the time these students were taking a third level Tungsten Inert Gas welding (T.I.G.) training module. Qualified T.I.G. welders are in very high demand worldwide and as such can demand a very high rate of pay for their services. The kinetic skills applicable to …

From Obscurity To Prominance: Taking Panamanian Primary Sources To The Internet, Robert D. Bowers, Dr. Thomas Pearcy

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Rey L. Pratt Center for Latin American Studies is new to the BYU scene. I created the Center at the request of Dr. Thomas Pearcy. This was done to assist students, faculty, and staff, as well as any other interested parties, in their studies of Latin America. The center is located at http://fhss.byuedu/history/pr@itt The academic portion of the center, including photos, documents, and additional links containing more information, is found in the resources section. As time went on, it became obvious that the Rey L. Pratt Center needed to be more than just a hub of links. It needed …

The Surface Charging Behavior Of The Gibbsite (001) Surface: An Evaluation Of The Music Model, T. J. Campbell, Dr. Barry Bickmore

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The struggle to find and maintain sources of clean water faces billions of people throughout the world. Increases in groundwater contamination have made this problem even more severe. It is therefore of great importance to understand how contaminants travel and interact in the subsurface. Chemical reactions with the surrounding rock often control the movement of these contaminants. Mineral surfaces can become charged, attracting oppositely charged contaminant particles and slowing their progress. This surface charging is dependent on the reactivity of the individual functional groups on mineral surfaces. Reliable predictions of the reactivity of these groups are necessary to improve the …

Finite Size Effects In Isolated Systems Of Hard Spheres, Scott Burt, Dr. Randy Shirts

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Chemical modeling is an increasingly important tool in modern research. Despite vast improvements in computational speed, most systems of interest are so complex that simulations must be carried out on very small model systems. However, such simplified systems often contain constraints that do not apply to the larger system. This causes the simulation results to deviate significantly from the true behavior of the corresponding macroscopic system. Such deviations are known as finite size effects. Understanding these effects are important for correctly extrapolating simulation results to the macroscopic system of interest. Chemical simulations are often performed under conditions of constant total …

The Impacts Of Urban Renewal: The Residents' Experiences In Qianmen, Beijing, China, Yongxia Kou

Dissertations and Theses

The study examines the influences of the Qianmen urban renewal project on its original residents, which is one of a few demonstration projects under the new policy orientation of urban renewal practices in Beijing, China, entering the new century. It employs "residential satisfaction" as an evaluative indicator to understand the residents' experiences before and after urban renewal. Seventy-two residents were interviewed. Among them, 25 remained in Qianmen; 20 relocated to Hongshan, a neighborhood in the central city area; 21 moved to Longyue, a neighborhood in one of the suburban areas; and 6 residents relocated to other locations.

The study found …

Flow Measurements In A Blood-Perfused Collagen Vessel Using X-Ray Micro-Particle Image Velocimetry., Elizabeth Antoine, Cara Buchanan, Kamel Fezzaa, Wah-Keat Lee, Nichole Rylander, Pavlos Vlachos

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Blood-perfused tissue models are joining the emerging field of tumor engineering because they provide new avenues for modulation of the tumor microenvironment and preclinical evaluation of the therapeutic potential of new treatments. The characterization of fluid flow parameters in such in-vitro perfused tissue models is a critical step towards better understanding and manipulating the tumor microenvironment. However, traditional optical flow measurement methods are inapplicable because of the opacity of blood and the thickness of the tissue sample. In order to overcome the limitations of optical method we demonstrate the feasibility of using phase-contrast x-ray imaging to perform microscale particle image …

Real-Time In Vivo Cherenkoscopy Imaging During External Beam Radiation Therapy, Rongxiao Zhang, David J. Gladstone, Lesley A. Jarvis, Rendall R. Strawbridge, P Jack Hoopes, Oscar D. Friedman, Adam K. Glaser, Brian W. Pogue

Dartmouth Scholarship

Cherenkov radiation is induced when charged particles travel through dielectric media (such as biological tissue) faster than the speed of light through that medium. Detection of this radiation or excited luminescence during megavoltage external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) can allow emergence of a new approach to superficial dose estimation, functional imaging, and quality assurance for radiation therapy dosimetry. In this letter, the first in vivo Cherenkov images of a real-time Cherenkoscopy during EBRT are presented. The imaging system consisted of a time-gated intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) coupled with a commercial lens. The ICCD was synchronized to the linear accelerator to …
