Design Parameterization for Concurrent Design and Manufacturing of Mechanical Systems
(Concurrent Engineering, 2002-03-01)
Design changes are frequently encountered in the product development process. The complexity of the design changes is multiplied when the product design involves multiple engineering disciplines. Very often, a simple change ...
Educational Programs and Recidivism in Oklahoma: Another Look
(The Prison Journal, 2002-09-01)
Prior research suggests that educational programs are one of the most effective tools in reducing recidivism rates. In this study, however, the authors found that some educational programs administered in Oklahoma may not ...
Aiding Planning in Air Traffic Control: An Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Perceptual Information Integration
(Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2002-09-01)
Prior research examined how controllers plan in their traditional environment and identified various information uncertainties as detriments to planning. A planning aid was designed to reduce this uncertainty by perceptually ...
College Students' Collaborative Use of Inspiration‚Ñ¢ to Generate Concept Maps in an Educational Technology Class
(Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2002-06-01)
Presented is a qualitative study of five groups of college students using Inspiration™ to construct concept maps in an educational technology class. Analyses addressed how the maps changed during the semester, how the ...
Successful Strategies for Promoting Self-Advocacy Among Students with LD: The LEAD Group
(Intervention in School and Clinic, 2002-03-01)
Students with learning disabilities (LD) often need to be taught self-determination skills to be better prepared for life after high school. This article describes the methods used by one school district to promote ...
Effect of Injection Rate and Post-Fill Cure Pressure on Properties of Resin Transfer Molded Disks
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2002-08-01)
The effects of flow rate andpost-fill cure pressure, i.e., packing pressure, on the mechanical properties of resin transfer molded disks are experimentally investigated. An experimental molding setup is constructed to ...
Celebrating Mediocrity?: How Schools Shortchange Gifted Students
(2002)
Some forces that undermine programs for the gifted—misguided fiscal policies, simplistic teaching methodologies, and a resurgence of the philosophy of egalitarianism—are reviewed. Analogous to the demise (and possible ...
The Evaluation of Community Economic Development Initiatives
(Urban Studies, 2002-03-01)
Community economic development (CED) initiatives expanded rapidly in urban and regional policy in the 1990s. Traditional evaluation methodology has, however, proved to be extremely difficult to apply effectively to CED. ...
Nano-scale Flexible Interphase in a Glass Fiber/Epoxy Resin System Obtained by Admicellar Polymerization
(2002)
Organosilane coupling agents are widely used in the composites industry to improve the wetting of inorganic reinforcements by low surface energy resins. An increased wettability is often a harbinger of better mechanical ...
Internet-based Distributed Collaborative Engineering Analysis
(Concurrent Engineering, 2002-12-01)
This paper proposes an engineering analysis environment that allows remote users to conduct three-dimensional finite element analysis collaboratively through the Internet. Java and Java 3D were chosen to develop the working ...
