As a native Oak Ridger, it was easy for me to fit these objects into my preexisting knowledge of this place, however, my compatriots had no such luxury. Games present a unique opportunity in learning. While a book can describe an event, and let your mind paint the picture, and a film can present a much more controlled experience, a game is inherently and uniquely interactive. Games present an opportunity not to witness an event, but to experience it. This presents a unique opportunity to facilitate deeper learning through interaction. There are many precedents for this, one in particular being children’s museums, which use interaction and play to “Trojan Horse” in learning. I intend to use games to contribute to a more realized space for learning about the history and future of Y-12. Poster # 2 Infrared DebondingVisualizing Outreach at Y-12 Jonathan T McCammon Student’s Department: Graphic Design Faculty Mentor: Staples, Carolyn I Y-12 is known for its groundbreaking research into uranium and its contribution to the second World War, the Manhattan Project. However, over the last several decades Y-12 has amassed a plethora of new fields of research. One of those fields involves infrared debonding. Infrared debonding is the process of using infrared rays to separate components that have been joined by adhesives. Using infrared is a safer and more cost-efficient method of separating components, as well as limiting manual labor and leaving separated components in a better, recyclable condition. Poster # 3 Pinpoint Travel App Cameron Grace Spooner Student’s Department: Graphic Design Faculty Mentor: Lowe, Sarah Pinpoint is an application that presents the beginning framework for planning a trip with young adults. Pinpoint is a destination generator that surveys each traveler in a group with a series of questions, considers each answer, and outputs a destination for the group that best fits the each individual’s travel preferences as a whole. Online sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor are great resources while planning a trip, but two out of every three travelers claim they are way too overwhelmed on these sites. Pinpoint can alleviate the stress of information overload by becoming a starting point in trip planning by offering destination, activity, and restaurant suggestions. 2 Poster # 4 Abstracting Uranium Madison Lowe Moody Student’s Department: Graphic Design Faculty Mentor: Staples, Carolyn I Over the last six decades, Y-12, at the Oak Ride Labs, has been studying nuclear materials, especially uranium, creating an accumulation of data that can only recently be shared with the world. Upon visiting the Y-12 facility, I thought of the The Manhattan Project and the nuclear bombs that it produced, but the facility as since changed their track from nuclear weapons to nuclear energy and much more beneficial and humanitarian projects. In order to highlight this shift and reflect on the research of the past, the data that is currently available can be represented in an abstract way; systematically creating a digital installation that has a very modern look, while having the capacity to transform as time goes on, as uranium does. This display will take the scientific data, focusing on the life of uranium, and make it enjoyable to everyone from advanced scientists to families that come to see the museums that Y-12 has to offer, because it breaks the information down, but allows for a deeper understanding, due to the systematic abstraction of the data. Poster # 5 Financial Wizard Jordan Katherine Beets Student’s Department: Graphic Design Faculty Mentor: Lowe, Sarah My research examines college students with part-time jobs while in school. Specifically, it analyzes how these students with the intention of making and saving money struggle with impulse spending. My process includes attention to the ways of preventing bad spending habits and how to do this most effectively for this specific target audience. I have gathered constructive knowledge from those in this position and have developed further findings through descriptive research. I discovered that similarly to being on a diet, accountability is crucial in pursuit of reaching a set goal. Ultimately, if college students were reminded of their financial goals in face of situations driven by impulse more conscious decisions would be made. Poster # 6 Air Pollution (Y-12) Cassidy Ann Bruninga Student’s Department: Graphic Design Faculty Mentor: Staples, Carolyn I While working with Y-12 thus far, I’ve found it extremely compelling to learn all that Y-12 is doing to ensure a safer country in which we live, learn, breathe, and grow. What I look forward to solving is the idea that there are even more ways to ensure a healthier life that I know Y-12 stands for. It has come to my attention that there is a great amount of air pollution that surrounds us each and every day. Yearly, over 100 tons of regulated air pollution is entering into our air. Y-12 has a comprehensive air regulation compliance assurance and monitoring program to ensure that airborne discharges meet all regulatory requirements and therefore do not affect air quality. My goal is to think of ways to add to the prevention already happening. Exploring ways to analyze just how effective these resources are and are there other materials or ways 3 that Y-12 could adopt that would ensure even safer air for us to breathe. It’s not something we can avoid, but it’s something we can help make an effort towards. A few of these prevention resources are bag houses, exhaust scrubbers, and other exhaust filtration methods. With this research, there is a hopeful solution that will ensure a more proficient and safe air quality. Poster # 7 Y-12 Interactive Timeline: Experiments in High Dimensional Space Hannah Gwynne Mcmillen Student’s Department: Graphic Design Faculty Mentor: Staples, Carolyn I The East Tennessee Technology Access Center (ETTAC) in Knoxville, TN is a regional nonprofit agency that helps people with disabilities gain knowledge about and access to assistive technology devices. ETTAC is aware of the power of a successful social media presence and would like to improve theirs in order to expand their regional and national reach. The use of hashtag campaigns and a newly designed ETTAC ambassador will aid in this. After analyzing engagement metrics, social media trends and activity of other nonprofit organizations, a six month plan has been created in order to successfully elevate ETTAC’s social media presence in a bold and memorable way to ultimately increase community involvement and support.

Objectives of work Scope/Previous Results:Virtual Globes can attract and inform websites visitors on natural and cultural objects and sceneries.Geo-centered information transfer is suitable for majority of sites and artifacts. Virtual Globes have been tested with an involvement of TUD institutes: e.g. the GEPAM project (Weller,2013), and an archaeological excavation site in the Altai Mountains ("Uch enmek", c.f. Schmid 2012, Schubert 2014).Virtual Globes technology should be flexible in terms of the desired geo-data configuration. Research data should be controlled by the authors. Modes of linking geo-objects to different types of meta-information seems evenly important for a successful deployment. Motivation: For an archaeological conservation site ("Uch Enmek") effort has already been directed into data collection, model development and an initial web-based presentation.The present "Open Web Globe" technology is not developed any further, what calls for a migra- tion into a different web environment.

  • Space Weathering on Mercury
    Advances in Space Research 33 (2004) 2152–2155 www.elsevier.com/locate/asr Space weathering on Mercury S. Sasaki *, E. Kurahashi Department of Earth and Planetary Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113 0033, Japan Received 16 January 2003; received in revised form 15 April 2003; accepted 16 April 2003 Abstract Space weathering is a process where formation of nanophase iron particles causes darkening of overall reflectance, spectral reddening, and weakening of absorption bands on atmosphereless bodies such as the moon and asteroids. Using pulse laser irra- diation, formation of nanophase iron particles by micrometeorite impact heating is simulated. Although Mercurian surface is poor in iron and rich in anorthite, microscopic process of nanophase iron particle formation can take place on Mercury. On the other hand, growth of nanophase iron particles through Ostwald ripening or repetitive dust impacts would moderate the weathering degree. Future MESSENGER and BepiColombo mission will unveil space weathering on Mercury through multispectral imaging observations. Ó 2003 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1.

    Cite as: Grohmann, C.H., 2018. Evaluation of TanDEM-X DEMs on selected Brazilian sites: comparison with SRTM, ASTER GDEM and ALOS AW3D30. Remote Sensing of Environment. 212:121-133. doi:10.1016/j.rse.2018.04.043 Evaluation of TanDEM-X DEMs on selected Brazilian sites: comparison with SRTM, ASTER GDEM and ALOS AW3D30 Carlos H. Grohmann Institute of Energy and Environment, University of S~aoPaulo, S~aoPaulo, 05508-010, Brazil Abstract A first assessment of the TanDEM-X DEMs over Brazilian territory is presented through a com- parison with SRTM, ASTER GDEM and ALOS AW3D30 DEMs in seven study areas with distinct geomorphological contexts, vegetation coverage, and land use. Visual analysis and elevation his- tograms point to a finer effective spatial (i.e., horizontal) resolution of TanDEM-X compared to SRTM and ASTER GDEM. In areas of open vegetation, TanDEM-X lower elevations indicate a deeper penetration of the radar signal. DEMs of differences (DoDs) allowed the identification of issues inherent to the production methods of the analyzed DEMs, such as mast oscillations in SRTM data and mismatch between adjacent scenes in ASTER GDEM and ALOS AW3D30. A systematic difference in elevations between TanDEM-X 12 m, TanDEM-X 30 m, and SRTM was observed in the steep slopes of the coastal ranges, related to the moving-window process used to resample the 12 m data to a 30 m pixel size. It is strongly recommended to produce a DoD with SRTM before using ASTER GDEM or ALOS AW3D30 in any analysis, to evaluate if the area of interest is affected by these problems.

  • Geoscience Data for Educational Use: Recommendations from Scientific/Technical and Educational Communities Michael R
    JOURNAL OF GEOSCIENCE EDUCATION 60, 249–256 (2012) Geoscience Data for Educational Use: Recommendations from Scientific/Technical and Educational Communities Michael R. Taber,1,a Tamara Shapiro Ledley,2 Susan Lynds,3 Ben Domenico,4 and LuAnn Dahlman5 ABSTRACT Access to geoscience data has been difficult for many educators. Understanding what educators want in terms of data has been equally difficult for scientists. From 2004 to 2009, we conducted annual workshops that brought together scientists, data providers, data analysis tool specialists, educators, and curriculum developers to better understand data use, access, and user- community needs. All users desired more access to data that provide an opportunity to conduct queries, as well as visual/ graphical displays on geoscience data without the barriers presented by specialized data formats or software knowledge. Presented here is a framework for examining data access from a workflow perspective, a redefinition of data not as products but as learning opportunities, and finally, results from a Data Use Survey collected during six workshops that indicate a preference for easy-to-obtain data that allow users to graph, map, and recognize patterns using educationally familiar tools (e.g., Excel and Google Earth).

  • Social Studies Curriculum
    WASHINGTON WEST SUPERVISORY UNION SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM Crossett Brook Middle School Fayston Elementary School Harwood Union Middle and High School Moretown Elementary School Thatcher Brook Primary School Waitsfield Elementary School Warren Elementary School October 16, 2001 August 29, 2001 Dear Reader, During the opening phases of writing this document, the committee referred to a variety of materials to begin formulating the work found within these pages. We examined the national standards, state standards, and curricula from other states and districts within Vermont. After exploring these materials, the committee began preparing the skeleton of the document. This phase of the process was long and arduous. It took years of collaboration and compromise. The Scope and Sequence that follows represents a draft that has been reviewed by the committee, the administration, WWSU educators, and experts in the field outside our supervisory union. This document was written for the purpose of informing the practitioner who will use it to guide his or her teaching in the classroom. However, the committee encourages any educator to share his or her pieces with other interested parties. The committee recognizes there might be a need to interpret the meaning of the content for the layperson. The Social Studies Curriculum will include overlying materials such as the WWSU Pre-K – 12 scope and sequence, goals and desired outcomes. Following this overlying material, each grade level includes an introduction sheet with theme(s), geography implications, community service project guidelines, questions to consider, and key concepts covered in that grade. A partial list of resources is included and will be added to at a later date.
