Abstract:
This paper describes a software module, contained within a design-for-casting package, which aids the user in designing efficient feeding systems for castings. The user can choose a shape suitable for a particular casting condition from a file containing a variety of feeder head types. The feeder heads are placed relative to the casting in positions appropriate to hot spots identified by a ‘heat centre’ module within the package. The number and size of heads are chosen with the aid of built-in rules that aid the user. The module provides a rationale for people, both skilled and unskilled, who have to design for casting. The validity of the design rules and guidelines within the module is demonstrated by casting three widely different shapes with and without feeders.

Abstract:
The domains of DNA and RNA nanotechnology are steadily gaining in popularity while proving their value with various successful results, including biosensing robots and drug delivery cages. Nowadays, the nanotechnology design pipeline usually relies on computer-based design (CAD) approaches to design and simulate the desired structure before the wet lab assembly. To aid with these tasks, various software tools exist and are often used in conjunction. However, their interoperability is hindered by a lack of a common file format that is fully descriptive of the many design paradigms. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a Unified Nanotechnology Format (UNF) designed specifically for the biomimetic nanotechnology field. UNF allows storage of both design and simulation data in a single file, including free-form and lattice-based DNA structures. By defining a logical and versatile format, we hope it will become a widely accepted and used file format for the nucleic acid nanotechnology community, facilitating the future work of researchers and software developers. Together with the format description and publicly available documentation, we provide a set of converters from existing file formats to simplify the transition. Finally, we present several use cases visualizing example structures stored in UNF, showcasing the various types of data UNF can handle.

Abstract:
In order to improve the nursing effect of emergency general surgery, this paper combines computer algorithms to carry out the intelligent management of general surgery nursing, and realizes the standardization of nursing information, the electronic nursing file, the precision of nursing workload, and the intelligentization of nursing quality control by means of informatization. This truly and objectively reflects the nursing operation and treatment situation, prevents the occurrence of some adverse events, and effectively reduces the workload of nursing care. Moreover, this paper uses a standardized software design method to define the software concept, and then conducts a detailed demand analysis of the nursing display function through detailed investigation, class work, discussion and analysis, and comparison decision-making methods. In addition, this paper compiles the software through strict coding standards, and finally designs test cases to test and improve the software. Through actual case studies, it can be seen that the computer-assisted emergency general surgery nursing method proposed in this paper has a certain progress compared with the traditional nursing method.

Abstract:
This paper calculates the Kaluza field equations with the aid of a computer package for tensor algebra, xAct. The xAct file is provided with this paper. We find that Thiry’s field equations are correct, but only under limited circumstances. The full five-dimensional field equations under the cylinder condition are provided here, and we see that most of the other references miss at least some terms from them. We go on to establish the remarkable Kaluza Lagrangian, and verify that the field equations calculated from it match those calculated with xAct, thereby demonstrating self-consistency of these results. Many of these results can be found scattered throughout the literature, and we provide some pointers for historical purposes. But our intent is to provide a definitive exposition of the field equations of the classical, five-dimensional metric ansatz of Kaluza, along with the computer algebra data file to verify them, and then to recover the unique Lagrangian for the theory. In common terms, the Kaluza theory is an “ω=0” scalar field theory, but with unique electrodynamic couplings.

STEP-NC provides a way for intelligent NC manufacturing and seamless connection of the computer systems in design and manufacturing industries. It also makes it a must for a new breed of CNC machines to interface directly with the new part programs in STEP format (ISO 10303-21). In this paper, the data model and structure of part programs based on STEP-NC (STEP AP 238) are overviewed. Available tools are discussed and a method of extracting the manufacturing information from STEP-NC physical files is presented, and corresponding software module are developed in ST-DeveloperTM environment. With the aid of the STIXTM and ROSETM C++ library, the general information, feature information, technological information are extracted from the STEP-NC file and organized in a tree structure according to the hierarchy of the data model, which is essential to further usage of the manufacturing data, such as process planning, tool-path generating etc.

Virtualization is becoming increasingly important in bioscience, enabling assembly and provisioning of complete computer setups, including operating system, data, software, and services packaged as virtual machine images (VMIs). We present an open catalog of VMIs for the life sciences, where scientists can share information about images and optionally upload them to a server equipped with a large file system and fast Internet connection. Other scientists can then search for and download images that can be run on the local computer or in a cloud computing environment, providing easy access to bioinformatics environments. We also describe applications where VMIs aid life science research, including distributing tools and data, supporting reproducible analysis, and facilitating education.

Abstract:
As software systems evolve, they become more complex and larger, creating challenges in predicting change propagation while maintaining system stability and functionality. Existing studies have explored extracting co-change patterns from changelog data using data-driven methods such as dependency networks; however, these approaches suffer from scalability issues and limited focus on high-level abstraction (package level). This article addresses these research gaps by proposing a file-level change propagation to vector (FCP2Vec) approach. FCP2Vec is a recommendation system designed to aid developers by suggesting files that may undergo change propagation subsequently, based on the file being presently worked on. We carried out a case study utilizing three publicly available datasets: Vuze, Spring Framework, and Elasticsearch. These datasets, which consist of open-source Java-based software development changelogs, were extracted from version control systems. Our technique learns the historical development sequence of transactional software changelog data using a skip-gram method with negative sampling and unsupervised nearest neighbors. We validate our approach by analyzing historical data from the software development changelog for more than ten years. Using multiple metrics, such as the normalized discounted cumulative gain at K (NDCG@K) and the hit ratio at K (HR@K), we achieved an average HR@K of 0.34 at the file level and an average HR@K of 0.49 at the package level across the three datasets. These results confirm the effectiveness of the FCP2Vec method in predicting the next change propagation from historical changelog data, addressing the identified research gap, and show a 21% better accuracy than in the previous study at the package level.

Abstract:
Over the last decade, data sharing has become eminent in each aspect of the daily routine chores of industries and research alike. Traditionally, all data sharing platform depend on trusted third parties (TTP), owing to which they lack trust, security, immutability and transparency. But, with the advent of blockchain technology, the data sharing has got a whole new dimensionality. Blockchain is a distributed and decentralized ledger that records the source of a digital resources. The secure features of blockchain have helped it gain popularity and application in a variety of domains including sustainable manufacturing. It can aid in customer and product tracking, supply chain, quality checks, etc. Blockchain can further strengthen how products can be designed, engineered, manufactured, dispatched and tracked in the revolutionized Industry 4.0 initiative. All these activities involve sharing of voluminous data. Hence, this paper presents an efficient data-sharing system which takes the advantage of the transparency as well as the security provided by a blockchain. AnonChain (Anonymous Chain) is a file sharing platform that integrates Inter Planetary File Sharing (IPFS) with the blockchain technology to provide secure and anonymous file sharing.

This thesis demonstrates and evaluates the design, architecture, and implementation of a file location, replication, and distribution system built with the objective of managing information in an Internet network. The system's goal is to enable the availability of information by providing alternative locations for files in case of situations where the original piece of information cannot be found in the network due to failures or other problems. The system provides the mechanism for duplicating files and executes the act of placing them in multiple locations according to predefined rules for distribution. The resulting system is a working model for a file management system that can exist over the Internet and will aid in overall network management by organizing and overseeing the information found within a network.

Abstract:
This program of research was aimed at investigating a novel application of computer aided text analysis (CATA). To date, CATA has been used in a wide variety of disciplines, including Psychology, but never in the area of personnel selection. Traditional personnel selection techniques have met with limited success in the prediction of costly training failures for some occupational groups such as pilot and air traffic controller. Accordingly, the overall purpose of this thesis was to assess the validity of linguistic style to select personnel. Several studies were used to examine the structure of language in a personnel selection setting; the relationship between linguistic style and the individual differences dimensions of ability, personality and vocational interests; the validity of linguistic style as a personnel selection tool and the differences in linguistic style across occupational groups. The participants for the studies contained in this thesis consisted of a group of 810 Royal Australian Air Force Pilot, Air Traffic Control and Air Defence Officer trainees. The results partially supported two of the eight hypotheses; the other six hypotheses were supported. The structure of the linguistic style measure was found to be different in this study compared with the structure found in previous research. Linguistic style was found to be unrelated to ability or vocational interests, although some overlap was found between linguistic style and the measure of personality. In terms of personnel selection validity, linguistic style was found to relate to the outcome of training for the occupations of Pilot, Air Traffic Control and Air Defence Officer. Linguistic style also demonstrated incremental validity beyond traditional ability and selection interview measures. The findings are discussed in light of the Five Factor Theory of Personality, and motivational theory and a modified spreading activation network model of semantic memory and knowledge. A general conclusion is drawn that the analysis of linguistic style is a promising new tool in the area of personnel selection.

Abstract:
Idag är många branscher beroende av ett gediget teamwork. Det finns dock ett behov av objektiva mätsystem för teamwork och därför har detta projekt som syfte att skapa och testa ett observationsprotokoll utifrån den teoretiska modellen ’The Big Five of Teamwork’ framtagen av Salas, Sims & Burke (2005). Observationsprotokollet användes för att observera teamwork mellan två flygledare på Arlanda ATCC. Därefter fick flygledarna svara på en enkät för att bidra med subjektiva aspekter från modellen. Totalt genomfördes 15 stycken strukturerade observationer. Resultatet visade att det är möjligt att skatta teamwork på flygledare med hjälp av ett observationsprotokoll baserat på sex av åtta komponenter, där inte teamorientering och gemensam mental modell ingick. Komponenterna visade sig vara mer än bara ett observerbart beteende och enbart observationer frambringar inte en rättvis bild över komponenten. Resultatet visade också på att flygledarna själva upplever samtliga komponenter som en del av arbetet. Observationerna visade att samarbetet kunde se olika ut och skilja sig från team till team, och att flygledarna anpassar sig efter varandras behov.
Today, many industries are dependent on a solid teamwork. However, there is a need for objective measurement assessment for teamwork and therefore this project aims to create and test an observation protocol based on the theoretical model ’The Big Five of Teamwork’ compiled by Salas, Sims & Burke (2005). The observation protocol was used to observe teamwork between two air traffic controllers at Arlanda ATCC. After the observations the air traffic controllers answered a survey to receive subjective aspects from the model. A total of 15 structured observations were conducted. The results revealed that it’s possible to estimate teamwork on air traffic controllers using an observation protocol based on six of eight components, where team orientation and shared mental model were not included. The components appeared to be more than just an observable behavior, thus only observations does not give a fair picture of the component. The result also showed that air traffic controllers themselves perceive all components as a part of the work. The observations showed that the cooperation could look different and differ from team to team, and that air traffic controllers adapt to each other’s needs.

Abstract:
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become a dominant force in the aerospace industry. Recent technological developments have moved these aircraft from remote operation roles to more active response missions. Of particular interest is the possibility of applying UAVs toward solving complex problems in long-endurance missions. Under that belief, the feasibility of utilizing UAVs for wildfire detection and response was investigated in a partnership that included NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and Science Mission Directorate, and the United States Forest Service. Under NASA’s Intelligent Mission Management (IMM) project, research was conducted to develop a mission architecture that would enable use of a high altitude UAV to search for reported wildfires with a separate low altitude UAV supporting ground assets. This research proposes a “straw man” concept incorporating both a High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) UAV and a Low Altitude Short Endurance (LASE) UAV in a loosely coupled, low cost solution tailored towards wildfire response. This report identifies the communications architecture, algorithms, and required system configuration that meets the outlined goals of the IMM project by mitigating wildfires and addressing the United States Forest Service immediate needs. The end product is a defined parent-child framework capable of meeting all wildfire mission goals. The concept has been implemented in simulation, the results of which are presented in this report.

Abstract:
Les réseaux de capteurs sans fil (RCSF) sont largement utilisés dans les applications environnementales où l’objectif est de détecter un phénomène physique tel que la température, l’humidité, la pollution de l’air, etc. Dans ce contexte d’application, l’utilisation de RCSF permet de comprendre les variations du phénomène et donc être en mesure de prendre des décisions appropriées concernant son impact. En raison des limitations de ses méthodes de suivi traditionnelles et de sa grande variabilité spatiale et temporelle, la pollution de l'air est considérée comme l'un des principaux phénomènes physiques qui restent à étudier et à caractériser. Dans cette thèse, nous considérons trois applications concernant l’utilisation de RCSF pour le suivi de la pollution de l’air : la cartographie en temps réel de la qualité de l’air, la détection de dépassements de seuils des polluants et la correction de modèles physiques qui simulent le phénomène de dispersion de la pollution. Toutes ces applications nécessitent de déployer et d’ordonnancer minutieusement les capteurs afin de mieux comprendre la pollution atmosphérique tout en garantissant un coût de déploiement minimal et en maximisant la durée de vie du réseau. Notre objectif est de résoudre les problèmes de déploiement et d'ordonnancement tout en tenant compte des caractéristiques spécifiques du phénomène de la pollution de l’air. Nous proposons pour chaque cas d'application une approche efficace pour le déploiement de noeuds capteurs et puits. Nous proposons également une approche d’ordonnancement adaptée au cas de la correction de modèles physiques. Nos approches d'optimisation prennent en compte la nature physique de la pollution atmosphérique et intègrent les données réelles fournies par les plateformes existantes de suivi de la qualité de l’air. Dans chacune de nos approches d’optimisation, nous utilisons la programmation linéaire en nombres entiers pour concevoir des modèles d’optimisation adaptés à la résolution de petites et moyennes instances. Pour traiter les grandes instances, nous proposons des heuristiques en utilisant des techniques de relaxation linéaire. Outre nos travaux théoriques sur le suivi de la pollution atmosphérique, nous avons conçu et déployé dans la ville de Lyon un réseau de capteurs de pollution économe en énergie. Sur la base des caractéristiques de notre système et des jeux de données de la pollution atmosphérique, nous avons évalué l’efficacité de nos approches de déploiement et d’ordonnancement. Nous présentons et discutons dans cette thèse les résultats d'évaluation de performances ainsi que des lignes directrices pour la conception de systèmes de suivi de la pollution de l’air. Parmi nos principales conclusions, nous soulignons le fait que la taille optimale du réseau de capteurs dépend du degré de variation des concentrations de pollution dans la région de déploiement
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely used in environmental applications where the aim is to sense a physical phenomenon such as temperature, humidity, air pollution, etc. In this context of application, the use of WSN allows to understand the variations of the phenomenon over the monitoring region and therefore be able to take adequate decisions regarding the impact of the phenomenon. Due to the limitations of its traditional costly monitoring methods in addition to its high spatial and temporal variability, air pollution is considered as one of the main physical phenomena that still need to be studied and characterized. In this thesis, we consider three main applications regarding the use of WSN for air pollution monitoring: 1) the construction of real time air quality maps using sensor measurements; 2) the detection of pollution threshold crossings; and 3) the correction of physical models that simulate the pollution dispersion phenomenon. All these applications need careful deployment and scheduling of sensors in order to get a better knowledge of air pollution while ensuring a minimal deployment cost and a maximal lifetime of the deployed sensor network. Our aim is to tackle the problems of WSN deployment and scheduling while considering the specific characteristics of the air pollution phenomenon. We propose for each application case a new efficient approach for the deployment of sensor and sink nodes. We also propose a WSN scheduling approach that is adapted to the case of physical models’ correction. Our optimization approaches take into account the physical nature of air pollution dispersion and incorporate real data provided by the existing pollution sensing platforms. As part of each approach, we use integer linear programming to derive optimization models that are well adapted to solving small and medium instances. To deal with large instances, we propose heuristic algorithms while using linear relaxation techniques. Besides our theoretical works on air pollution monitoring, we design from scratch and deploy in the Lyon city a cost-effective energy-efficient air pollution sensor network. Based on the characteristics of our monitoring system in addition to real world air pollution datasets, we evaluate the effectiveness of our deployment and scheduling approaches and provide engineering insights for the design of WSN-based air pollution monitoring systems. Among our conclusions, we highlight the fact that the size of the optimal sensor network depends on the degree of the variations of pollution concentrations within the monitoring region

In this project, the solar selective-absorber, which can collect as much radiant energy from the sun to reach the absorber as possible while at the same time reducing to a minimum the thermal infrared radiant energy escaping from the absorber, will be prepared by plasma sputtering deposition technology and the performance of solar selective-absorber will be also simulated with a numerical optical model under various conditions. The total collected solar energy and the highest temperature of the solar selective-absorber will be dependent on the ratio of the absorptance (α) for sunlight divided by the emittance (ε) for thermal infrared at the temperature of the projected use of the selective surface. In this study, the surface with multi-layer cermet coatings can lead to a very high absorptance of 0.96, an emittance of 0.04, and the ratio of α / ε is 24. The surface with four cermet coatings can lead to an absorptance of 0.94 and a very low emittance of 0.03, which has the highest ratio of α / ε, 31.4. In this study, we also coated a single cermet layer as solar selective surface. The efficiency of the film can be improved by heat treatment. The absorptance and emittance of the heated film are 0.88 and 0.03 respectively, and the ratio of α / ε can be achieved as high as 29.3 just by a single coating.

Abstract:
This research looks at the use of PowerPoint as an instructional tool for teaching English language learners (ELL) who studied in a language program at a state university in the Pacific Northwest. The purpose of the research was to discover and to explore the perceptions of PowerPoint supported teaching and learning that were held by the students, the instructors, and the student researcher. PowerPoint is one of the most commonly used technologies in classrooms, and its projection on screens has become a fundamental part of many students' daily routine. The basic design of this research study is based on Stringer's (2004) action research model, which operates on a repeated circle of reflecting, planning, acting and observing. This action research was generated by all participants, guided by instructors, and monitored by the planned objectives of the study's outcomes. A constructivist approach was used to understand the process of teaching and learning with PowerPoint, and feedback (questionnaires, interviews, and personal communications) was collected from the students in order to help instructors and the student researcher to determine the students' needs. There are four main sets of data in this study—data from students' questionnaires, from students' interviews, from instructors' interviews, and from the student researcher's classroom observations. Students were given questionnaires at the ends of weeks two to ten, and two students from each class were selected to be interviewed. Instructors were interviewed both at the beginning and at the end of the term. The student researcher observed all classes starting week two, and wrote notes which were included as part of the data.

Abstract:
Nuclear off-site emergency response for nuclear power plants in Guangdong province is a complicated process, which is finished by many emergency response organizations. In a nuclear emergency, the source, format, content, take-over means and processing means of the information passed among these organizations are different. The aim of nuclear emergency response is to protect public and environment by taking some proper urgent protective action. The essential information from the original information is necessary for decision-making in the processing of nuclear response emergency, thus the key of emergency response is incepting and analyzing the information. An effective method of processing information is using a computer-based information system to aid the traditional handwork means. Nuclear Emergency management Information System in Guangdong Province is such systems, which covers preparedness, response and recover phase. At first, this paper analyzed the system functions according to the responsibilities of the emergency organizations in Guangdong province. Then the system frame is decided, which is composed of operation, information management, file processing, consequence assessment, operational intervention level (OIL) computing subsystem, geographic information system and a system database. A useful method for decision is applying the OILs in consequence assessment, and default OILs need be revised in a real nuclear emergency. Developing OIL computing subsystem is helpful to make decision with measurement result directly.

Abstract:
Prior to the extensive use of computers to calculate the theoretical performance of optical thin films, designers relied on graphic techniques to obtain solutions to specific problems. Now, with the advent of inexpensive computers, graphic techniques remain useful to gain insight into design performance and as a pedagogical aid. Several exact and approximate techniques which have previously been described1,2 are reviewed including the Smith chart, reflectance and admittance circle diagrams, and vector diagrams. The use of each technique is compared for high- and low-reflectance designs and advantages of each technique for various types of coating are discussed.

Abstract:
In the modern computing age, where it seems that almost everyone has a computer, the organization of individuals file structures has become increasingly more and more unorganized [1]. In an effort to solve this problem, the File Sorter application proposed in this paper enables a user to easily sort their files with the help of an AI model designed to sort files accurately and efficiently. The File Sorter application utilizes AI to predict where a file should go given a dataset [2]. To test this application, we employed experiments to design how time efficient the File Sorter was as well as how accurately it sorted files, in which both experiments displayed no inefficiency. The public should use the File Sorter application because it accurately and efficiently sorts files in varying manners, and it is good practice for an individual to maintain a healthy file structure because it enables a productive file structure workflow.

Abstract:
Abstract A set of computer programs written in QuickBASIC language has been developed as an instructional aid for the Mechanics of Materials course. It consists of 9 programs and over 50 supporting subprograms. Starting with the span and loading inputs, this software computes the support reactions and displays the diagrams of distributed loads, shearing force, bending moments, slope, and deflection distributions. Disk files are created to save the input and computed data and also the resulting displays for quick retrieval during any phase of the flexural analysis. Various shapes of cursors are created on screen for the user to select any menu involved in the analysis and/or a desired section of the beam for computation of the principal and maximum shearing stresses, for which Mohr’s circle display is also an optional feature. All operations are interactive and menu-driven, and provided with many helpful prompting messages to assist the user to specify the next request.

Full text
Abstract:
A major goal of today's teaching pedagogy is to fine-tune the acquired theoretical Mathematics models in order to address hands-on problems. More specifically, among the probability distribution laws which students are supposed to know, the Weibull distribution plays a very important role, due to its versatility and wide range of real-life applications. In order to stress the importance of the specific scientific uses of the Weibull distribution, we have designed an e-learning game which confronts students with some of the real life problems to which this distribution law can be successfully applied. In fact, the player's role in applying the Weibull distribution is to correctly determine the parameters which correspond to the recorded data of an observed system. Since this distribution law characterizes issues associated to the reliability and survival rate of the components of a system, we have imagined a game scenario featuring a catastrophic computer virus attack. The challenge of the unresponsive software systems and the failure of all performant antivirus programs, demands the urgent intervention of a competent student team. The fictional second year Politehnica students' team steps in and analyzes the situation by making use of their acquired Mathematical statistics skills. The students' team discovers, by means of the Weibull distribution law, that there is a hidden batch file which infected the PCs, a file associated with the visualization of a certain web page. The malign website is meant to hack personal data out of end users' computers. This aggression, in turn, is needed in order to determine users to move their files in a newly launched cloud storage app. The aim of the cloud storage app is unlawful data mining in order to serve the ambitious marketing purposes of a big fashion label.

Abstract:
This paper presents a summary of a task to provide individual Navy project engineers with analytical tools that enable them to perform Weibull failure and related analyses on a desktop computer. Similar tools have been available on mainframe computers for over a decade while only fragmented and incomplete tools existed for desktop computers. There is now available an integrated computer program that allows Navy project engineers and other Navy analysts to perform rigorous trade-off and what-if analyses in an interactive manner without having to send the problem off to their organizational central computer facility. The resulting computer codes exist in several forms to fit the various needs and computer configurations, such as: direct input of data, data file creation and update, and non-printing versions for those who have no printer available. Included in the codes are three Monte Carlo routines and several test plan generation codes. These codes have not been released to the general public as yet and are currently restricted to Navy units such as laboratories, Naval Aircraft Rework Facilities (NARF) and the Naval Air Systems Command Headquarters (NAVAIR). Public release is expected in mid-FY 89.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/detc2012-70245.

Full text
Abstract:
Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) links the design and manufacture of a machined product defining how the product itself will be manufactured. Decisions made during this phase can have a significant impact on product cost, quality and build time; therefore, it is important that process planners have intuitive tools to aid them in effectively creating process plans. However, in spite of being a strong research area, the actual application of CAPP systems in industry is limited and new modern 3D digital tools in this area have not been researched to any real degree. Traditional process planning is carried out either manually or via a CAPP interface and, from this activity, a set of instructions are generated for the shop floor. However, these CAPP processes can be time consuming and subject to inconsistencies. Current research seeks to automate the generation of work instructions by using previous designs and/or artificial intelligence. However, due to the complexity of manufacturing a wide range of products, the limited range of tools available and differing skills of the workforce, it is difficult to reach a generic solution for practical application. The novel pilot study given in this paper presents one of the first pieces of research comparing and contrasting a traditional manual approach to machined part process planning with an alternative haptic virtual environment. Within this, an operator can simulate the machining of a simple part using a virtual drilling and milling process via a haptic routing interface. All of the operator input is logged in the background with the system automatically generating shop floor instructions from this log file. Findings show that users found the virtual system to be more intuitive and required less mental workload than traditional manual methods. Also their perceptions for the future were that they would need less support for learning and would progress to final planning solutions more quickly.

Full text
Abstract:
As K12 computer science education is expanding nationwide, school districts are challenged to find qualified computer science teachers. It will take many years for schools of education to produce a sufficient number of certified computer science teachers to meet the demand. In the interim courses like Exploring Computer Science (ECS) can fill the gap. ECS is designed to provide a robust introduction to computer science and the accompanying professional development is structured such that a college level understanding of computer science is not required. This brief summarizes research with 20,000 Chicago Public Schools high school students and their teachers to test the claim that the ECS professional development can provide an adequate preparation for teaching ECS. The results provide strong evidence that full completion of the ECS professional development program by teachers from any discipline leads to much higher student outcomes, independent of whether a teacher is certified in computer science.

Full text
Abstract:
The NIJ Technology Working Group’s Operational Requirements (TWG ORs) for Fire and Arson Investigation have included several scientific research needs that require knowledge of the thermophysical properties of materials that are common in the built environment, and therefore likely to be involved in a fire scene. The specific areas of research include: adequate materials property data inputs for accurate computer models, understanding the effect of materials properties on the development and interpretation of fire patterns, and evaluation of incident heat flux profiles to walls and neighboring items in support of fire model validation. These topics certainly address, in a concise way, many of the gaps that limit the analysis capability of fire investigators and engineers. Each of the three aforementioned research topics rely, in part, on accurate knowledge of the physical conditions of a material prior to the fire, how the material will respond to the exposure of heat, and how it will perform once it has ignited. This general information is required to visually assess a fire scene. The same information is needed by investigators to estimate the evolution and consequences of a fire incident using a computer model. Data sources that are currently most commonly used to determine the required properties and model inputs are outdated and incomplete. This report includes the literature review used to provide a technical approach to developing a materials database for use in fire investigations and computational fire models. A summary of the input from the project technical panel is presented which guided the initial selection of materials to be included in the database as well as the selection of test measurements.

Abstract:
The paper is focused on the correlation between the psychological archetype of a film character and the linguistic elements composing their speech. The Nurturer archetype is represented in the film Inside Out by the personalized emotion Joy. Joy is depicted as an antropomorphous female character, whose purpose is to keep her host, a young girl Riley, happy. As the Nurturer, Joy is completely focused on Riley’s happiness, which is expressed by lexico-semantic group ‘happy’, positive evaluative tokens, exclamatory sentences, promissive speech acts, and repetitions. She needs the feeling of connectedness with other members of her family, which is revealed by lexico-semantic groups ‘support’ and ‘help’. She is ready to sacrifice everything to save the girl in her care, which is demonstrated by modal verbs, frequent word-combination ‘for Riley’, and directives.

Full text
Abstract:
On February 9, 2022, Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services responded to a fire in a ground floor unit in a garden apartment building. At arrival, the fire was a post-flashover fire in a bedroom. Initial fire control was attempted by an interior fire attack team which was unable to quickly locate the fire. Exterior suppression through the bedroom window was started prior to discovery of the fire by the interior team. Shortly after fire discovery by the internal team, a mayday was called. Four firefighters from the interior fire attack team received first and second degree burns. This report analyzes photographic, video, and written documentation from the incident to evaluate the timeline of the incident and to assess the fire conditions present. Computer modeling using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) was performed to provide further insight into the fire conditions and the impact of decisions and actions on the fire ground. Additionally, data from a full scale fire test of a similar fire in a similar structure was used to provide additional insight. Four FDS simulations were performed in support of the analysis. These included a simulation of the event as it unfolded and three simulations looking at the impact of alternate tactics which included: initial exterior attack prior to entry, the use of a smoke curtain to protect the building exit path, and interior only attack. FDS simulations provided insight on the heat present in the apartment during the fire and the impact of the interior and exterior suppression on conditions inside the apartment. Full scale test data of a similar fire showed similar behavior to the FDS predictions and gives credence to the FDS results. Results of the analysis suggest that injuries resulted from the length of time the interior attack team was present inside the apartment before actions were taken to reduce the severity of the fire. Six contributing factors were identified including size-up, communication and accountability, delayed exterior attack, lack of entry hall protection, the apartment layout and construction, thermal imager use, and mayday procedures and training. The last contributing factor was a positive contribution that helped avoid more serious injuries. Based on the contributing factors, five recommendations were made that include improved size-up, exterior fire control to prevent exterior spread, protection of exit pathways, basing fire ground tactics on known information, and recognizing when a change in tactics is needed.
