The first section consists of these four standards:(1) career development, (2) integrated learning,(3a) universal foundation skills, and (3b) career majors. The format for displaying the standardsincludes the following: key ideas regarding the standard; performance indicators describing expectations for students and designated for one of the three levels; and sample tasks suggesting evidence of progress toward the standard at a given level. Selected sample tasks are followed by an asterisk indicating their appropriateness forinclusion in a student's career plan. The second section provides samples of student work that are intended to begin the process of articulating the performance standards at each level of achievement. Each sample indicates level, context, performance indicators, and commentary.

It is shut up in libraries, and should a stray copy come abroad, it is rarely to be obtained by him who seeks for it. This is not so much because the work is sought for by many, and largely known; for the principles it teaches are almost as much in advance of the present times as they were in the days of the 'sainted George Herbert' and Nicholas Ferrar, who first published it in English.

  • Chapter 12 Simple Graphics Programming
    140 Chapter 12 Simple Graphics Programming Graphical applications are more appealing to users than text-based programs. When designed properly, graphical applications are more intuitive to use. From the developers perspective, graphical programs provide an ideal oppor- tunity to apply object-oriented programming concepts. Java provides a wealth of classes for building graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Because of the power and flexibility provided by these classes experienced developers can use them to create sophisticated graphical applications. On the other hand, also because of the power and flexibility of these graphical classes, writing even a simple graphics program can be daunting for those new to programming— especially those new to graphics programming. For those experienced in building GUIs, Java simplifies the process of developing good GUIs. Good GUIs are necessarily complex. Consider just two issues: • Graphical objects must be positioned in an attractive manner even when windows are resized or the application must run on both a PC (larger screen) and a PDA or cell phone (much smaller screen). Java graphical classes simplify the programmer’s job of laying out of screen elements within an application. • The user typically can provide input in several different ways: via mouse clicks, menu, dialog boxes, and keystrokes. The program often must be able to respond to input at any time, not at some predetermined place in the program’s execution. For example, when a statement calling nextInt() on a Scanner object (§ 8.3) is executed, the program halts and waits for the user’s input; however, in a graphical program the user may select any menu item at any time.

Acknowledgements ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS! This is the place to express my thanks to all the people who have supported me over the last couple of months. However, I would like to single out a few names. For example, there is Marc Ruef with whom I touched base on the initial idea for this thesis during a lunch discussion. We share a similar experience on security testing and found out that we were both not fully satisfied with the way the results are provided to the client. Another thank you goes to Jan Monsch, the creator of DAVIX. He was able to draw my attention to the subject of visualization when we worked together as security analysts. Quite a few items of his personal library moved to my place for the duration of this thesis. I would also like to thank William Rothwell for becoming my project supervisor and for his ongoing support. He received the first status report in October last year and has been providing valuable feedback since. Few people have read the project report as many times as he did.

Skinner ABSTRACT. A uniformly valid asymptotic expansion for the solution to a class of singularly perturbed Volterra integral equations displaying exponential boundary layer behavior is established. Certain quasilinear ordinary differential equations are a noted special case, and a model for population growth with attrition is briefly discussed. 1. Introduction Let /(a;, e) E C^QO, 1] x [0,1]) and k(x, t, e, y) 6 C^QO, 1] x [0, x] x [0,1] x [a, 6]), where (a, b) contains the derivative /e(0,0), and assume /(0,0) = 0. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior as e —> 0+ of the solution to the Volterra integral equation €y(x,e)+ / k(x,t,e,y(t,e))dt = f(x,e). (1.1) Jo The assumption /(0, 0) = 0, which implies y(0, e) = /e(0, 0) + O(e), is nontrivial unless (1.1) is linear. If kyy(x,t,e,y) = 0, we can get /(0,0) = 0 by changing the unknown (if necessary) to ey(x^e). In the special case k(x, t, 6, y) = p(t, e)y + (x - t)[q(t, e, y) - pt(t, e)]y, (1.2) f(x, e) = ae+ tfe + ap(0, e)]x, (1.3) equation (1.1) is equivalent to the singularly perturbed initial-value problem ey" + p(x, e)yl + q{x, c, y) = 0, (1.4) 2/(0) = a, y,(0) = p.
