The inward plasma transport at the Saturnian magnetosphere is examined using the flux tube interchange stability formalism developed by Southwood & Kivelson. Seven events are selected. Three cases are considered: (1) the injected flux tube and ambient plasmas are nonisotropic, (2) the injected flux tube and ambient plasmas are isotropic, and (3) the injected flux tube plasma is isotropic, but the ambient plasma is nonisotropic. Case 1 may be relevant for fresh injections, while case 3 may be relevant for old injections. For cases 1 and 2, all but one event have negative stability conditions, suggesting that the flux tube …

Measuring A Circle: A Math Lesson For Grades 5-10, Robert C. Moore Apr 2013

Measuring A Circle: A Math Lesson For Grades 5-10, Robert C. Moore

Faculty Publications

This article is designed to promote teaching methods that engage students in active learning and result in deep conceptual understanding by offering a sample lesson to help students (grades 5-10, ages 10-15) answer questions about and gain a deeper understanding of how to measure the circumference and area of a circle.
