Special Presentation by Wassim Jabi, Quentin Jones, Katia
Special Presentation by Wassim Jabi, Quentin Jones, Katia Passerini, Cristian Borcea, and Theodore Hall, “Fostering Creativity in Ubiquitous Social Computing through Casual and Formal Interactions in Interdisciplinary Design Studios”, Tables 1 This project aims to foster "CreativeIT": using information technology to enhance creativity in design, and applying creative design processes employed in disciplines such as architecture to enhance information technology. One aspect of this project is an interactive touch-screen poster display that enables two-way communication between designers, other team members, and the general public. Poster authors prepare their presentations in the form of web pages and submit the URIs to the display manager. The URIs are placed in an XML poster database on a networked server. The display kiosk software updates its poster list from the XML file periodically, displays the posters in sequence, and places thumbnails in a selection area. Viewers can give feedback on any poster that interests them through graffiti-style interaction with the touch-sensitive display, and e-mail the marked-up poster back to the author. This free-form feedback is a vital part of the creative process. Ikemefuna Chukwuemeka Agbanusi, Senior Student in Mathematics, “Dissecting the Phase Response Curve of a Bursting Neuron”, (advised by Amitabha Bose, advisors Amitabha Bose, Farzan Nadim and Jorge Golowasch), Table 52 We define and analyze the Phase Response Curve (PRC) of an endogenous neuronal oscillator. The PRC measures how an oscillator responds to the timing of stimulus. We utilize a Morris-Leccar type model to reproduce some of the phenomena observed in laboratory experiments on the PD neuron in the Stomatogastric Ganglion of the crab, Cancer borealis. -

Acknowledgments This dissertation would have been impossible without the assistance of many extremely capable and accommodating professionals. For patiently guiding me in the early research phases and then responding to countless followup email messages, I would like to thank Antoinette Beiser and Marty Hecht of the Lowell Observatory Library and Archives at Flagstaff. For introducing me to the many treasures held deep underground in our nation’s capital, I would like to thank Pam VanEe and Ed Redmond of the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

Heart of Gold Lesson Plan Year 7
Heart of Gold Lesson Plan Year 7 Lesson 1 Separation of Gold Curriculum Links: (ACSSU112) / Year 7 / Science / Science Understanding / Chemical Sciences (ACSSU222) / Year 7 / Science / Science Understanding / Earth and Space Sciences (ACSHE119) / Year 7 / Science / Science as a Human Endeavour / Nature and Development of Science (ACSHE121) / Year 7 / Science / Science as a Human Endeavour / Use and Influence of Science Background Information: It is actually quite unusual to find large nuggets of gold and most gold prospectors actually need to separate gold out from lots of other material. Depending on where the gold is found, this may be done by panning or through dry blowing. Each of these methods relies on the property of density. As gold has a very high density compared to the rock, soil and sediments it is contained in, it can be separated out by exploiting this property as it will fall to the bottom of mixtures that are allowed to settle out. The process of panning is used when small pieces of gold are found in creeks and rivers. It involves using a large shallow dish (pan) to scoop out some of the sediments in the riverbed and a small amount of water. You use a swirling motion with the pan tipped away from you and allow small amounts of the sediments and water to spill over the edge of the pan. When you have only a small amount of the sediments remaining in the pan, you will be able to see any gold particles that remain at the bottom of the pan. During the West Australian gold rush, most of the gold was being found in dry areas and water was a scarce commodity. -

September 29, 2014 Land Management Plan Revision USDA
September 29, 2014 Land Management Plan Revision USDA Forest Service Ecosystem Planning Staff 1323 Club Drive Vallejo, CA 94592 Submitted via Region 5 website Re: Comments on Notice of Intent and Detailed Proposed Action for the Forest Plan Revisions on the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests To the Forest Plan Revision Team: These comments are provided on behalf of Sierra Forest Legacy and the above conservation organizations. We have reviewed the Notice of Intent (NOI), detailed Proposed Action (PA), and supporting materials posted on the Region 5 planning website and offer the following comments on these documents. We have submitted numerous comment letters since the forest plan revision process was initiated for the Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra national forests. Specifically, we submitted comment letters on the forest assessments for each national forest (Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2013a, Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2013b, Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2013c), comments on two need for change documents (Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2014a, Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2014b) and comments on detailed desired conditions (Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2014c). We incorporate these comments by reference and attach the letters to these scoping comments. We have included these letters in our scoping comments because significant issues that we raised in these comments have not yet been addressed in the NOI, or the detailed PA creates significant conflict with resource areas on which we commented. Organization of Comments The following comments address first the content of the NOI, including the purpose and need for action, issues not addressed in the scoping notice, and regulatory compliance of the PA as written. -
