This problem has now been resolved 2105 10 Opportunities to reduce length of chapter: throughout chapter, less text on the services sector featuring tourism. Noted - cf. Response to comment 2279 For example, text on tourism could be reduced by half without sacrificing meaning. 2106 10 Figure 10.6 does not illuminate the understanding greatly, and could be removed for chapter length reduction. Accepted 17526 10 Green City Fragment of comment 17525 17527 10 Environmental and Social Responsibility in an Industrial Cluster Fragment of comment 17525 17634 10 The framing of this chapter, based significantly on the work of Allwood & Cullen is thoughtful and appropriate. Taken into consideration when revisiting Because materials extraction and processing are responsible for a disproportionate share of GHG emissions, it section 10.4 makes sense to take a materials-based perspective. However, some cross-cutting perspectives that capture aspects of industrial GHG emissions should also be presented. For example, emissions from semi-conductor manufacture. Also, the potential leverage provided by information and communication technology to reduce emissions is relevant. 17489 10 The layout is confusing and nonstandard. The format of the table should make it obvious that there are 2 halves ofAccepted - layout has been improved in the table side-by-side.

  • Safe Schools: a Best Practices Guide PREFACE Public Education Is Being Scrutinized Today
    COUNCIL OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES PLANNERS INTERNATIONAL SAFE SCHOOLS A BEST PRACTICES GUIDE Safe Schools: A Best Practices Guide PREFACE Public education is being scrutinized today. Safety for schoolchildren has the nation’s attention. Every aspect of educational safety and security is under review and school districts are contemplating best practices to employ to safeguard both students and staff. As leaders in creating safety in the built environment, CEFPI orchestrated a security summit in Washington, D.C. to explore just this topic. This document is a result of the collaborative effort of the many professionals who participated in this work. Its aim is to empower stakehold- ers with a guide to best practices used by many practitioners. Its primary scope addresses educators and school boards charged with safeguarding students and staff…but it is also useful to parent groups, security officials, elected officials, and other such publics given to this task.

  • AP Statistics Quiz a – Chapter 26 – Key 1. a Biology Professor Reports
    AP Statistics Quiz A – Chapter 26 – Key 1. A biology professor reports that historically grades in her introductory biology course have been distributed as follows: 15% A’s, 30% B’s, 40% C’s, 10% D’s, and 5% F’s. Grades in her most recent course were distributed as follows: Grade A B C D F Frequency 89 121 78 25 12 a. Test an appropriate hypothesis to decide if the professor’s most recent grade distribution matches the historical distribution. Give statistical evidence to support your conclusion. We want to know if the most recent grade distribution matches the historical grade distribution. H : The most recent grade distribution matches the historical grade distribution. 0 H : The most recent grade distribution differs from the historical grade distribution. A Conditions: *Counted data: We have the counts of the number of students who earned each grade. *Randomization: We have a convenience sample of students, but no reason to suspect bias. *Expected cell frequency: There are a total of 325 students. The smallest percentage of expected grades are F’s, and we expect 325(0.05) = 16.25. Since the smallest expected count exceeds 5, all expected counts will exceed 5, so the condition is satisfied. Under these conditions, the sampling distribution of the test statistic is F 2 with 5 – 1 = 4 degrees of freedom, and we will perform a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. Grade A B C D F Observed Frequency 89 121 78 25 12 Expected Frequency 48.75 97.5 130 32.5 16.25 χ2 component 33.232 5.6641 20.8 1.7308 1.1115 2 2 Obs Exp F ¦ Exp 2 2 2 2 2 89 48.75 121 97.5 78 130 25 32.5 12 16.25 48.75 97.5 130 32.5 16.25 62.538 The P-value is the area in the upper tail of the F 2 model with 4 degrees of freedom above the computed F 2 value.

  • Graphing & Curve Analysis Using Kaleidagraph 4.5©
    ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY Physics 151 Graphing & Curve Analysis Using KaleidaGraph 4.5 Fall 2021 The following instructions guide you through the process of using KaleidaGraph to create a graph from a set of data, and to calculate and draw a line or curve that best fits your data. The information determined from this best-fit line will be used to analyze your data. These graphing techniques will be used in most of the labs this semester, so it is important that you understand them. Bring these instructions to lab each week! KaleidaGraph Icon It is important to note that KaleidaGraph can open Microsoft Excel worksheets, or you can copy and paste data from Excel into KaleidaGraph. This allows you to use Excel for data acquisition and calculations, and then use the graphing and analysis tools of KaleidaGraph. Entering the Data 1. When you start KaleidaGraph, you are presented with a spreadsheet (the “Data” window). As seen in Figure 1, data cells are designated by a row number (beginning with row ‘0’) and a column title (A, B, etc.) A toolbar appears at the top of the Data window; labels in Figure 1 show some of the more useful buttons (the name of the button will appear if you place the mouse cursor over it.) In addition, columns are referred to by a column number (c0, c1, etc.) that appears below the title*. The column number designation is not absolute, and its purpose will be more obvious later in this exercise. A Formula Entry window appears at the bottom of the screen; this is where you enter equations to act on your data (if this window isn’t visible, choose Formula Entry from the Windows menu).

  • Lesson 9 8•6
    NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 9 8•6 Lesson 9: Determining the Equation of a Line Fit to Data Student Outcomes . Students informally fit a straight line to data displayed in a scatter plot. Students determine the equation of a line fit to data. Students make predictions based on the equation of a line fit to data. Lesson Notes In this lesson, students informally fit a line to data by drawing a line that describes a linear pattern in a scatter plot and then use their lines to make predictions. They determine the equation of the line and informally analyze different lines fit to the same data. This lesson begins developing the foundation for finding an objective way to judge how well a line fits the trend in a scatter plot and the notion of a best-fit line in Algebra I. Classwork Example 1 (5 minutes): Crocodiles and Alligators Discuss the data presented in the table and scatter plot. Consider starting by asking if students are familiar with crocodiles and alligators and how they differ. Ask students if they can imagine what a bite force of 100 pounds would feel like. Ask them if they know what body mass indicates. If students understand that body mass is an indication of the weight of a crocodilian and bite force is a measure of the strength of a crocodilian’s bite, the data can be investigated even if they do not understand the technical definitions and how these variables are measured. Also, ask students if any other aspects of the data surprised them.
