EMIT: explicit modeling of interactive-engagement techniques for physics graduate teaching assistants and the impact on instruction and student performance in calculus-based physics
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study measures the effect of a model of explicit instruction (EMIT) on the: 1) physics graduate teaching assistants adherence to reformed teaching methods, 2) impact of the instructional model on GTAs beliefs about ...
New approaches to improve the performance of the PEM based fuel cell power systems
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Fuel cells are expected to play an important role in future power generation. However, significant technical challenges remain and the commercial breakthrough of fuel cells is hindered by the high price of fuel cell ...
Identification and compensation of friction for a dual stage positioning system
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Motion control systems are usually designed to track trajectories and/or regulate about a desired point. Most of the other objectives, like minimizing the tracking time or minimizing the energy expended, are secondary which ...
Modeling of impact dynamics of tennis ball with a flat surface
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
A two-mass model with a spring and a damper in the vertical direction, accounting for vertical translational motion and a torsional spring and a damper connecting the rotational motion of two masses is used to simulate the ...
Groundwater remediation at a former oil service site
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
As an intern with URS Corporation, I participated in several remediation and wastewater treatment projects during the year 2004. A groundwater remediation project was selected to present in this record of study for my ...
Water quality improvements in the Upper North Bosque River watershed due to phosphorous export through turfgrass sod
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The Upper North Bosque River (UNBR) watershed is under a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) mandate to reduce Phosphorus (P) due to excess nutrients in the
watershed. To address these problems, Texas A&M University researchers ...
