CDC’s Active People, Healthy NationSM: Creating an Active America, Together

Creating an active-learning environment in an introductory acoustics course.

Research in physics education has indicated that the traditional lecture-style class is not the most efficient way to teach introductory physical science courses at the university level. Current best teaching practices focus on creating an active-learning environment and emphasize the students' role in the learning process. Several of the recommended techniques have recently been applied to Bri...

Creating Morph Targets with an Active Triangulation Scanner

Creating morph targets in 3D environment is not the easiest task. The general procedure is to create the initial object and creating clones of it via operations not modifiing vertex number and vertex structure. Because of this process it is very difficult to create basically different morph targets that keep these necessary conditions. The 3D active triangulation scanner developped at our Depar...

An ecological approach to creating active living communities.

The thesis of this article is that multilevel interventions based on ecological models and targeting individuals, social environments, physical environments, and policies must be implemented to achieve population change in physical activity. A model is proposed that identifies potential environmental and policy influences on four domains of active living: recreation, transport, occupation, and ...

Creating 35 mm Camera Active Pixel Sensors

A 36x24 mm Active Pixel Sensor imaging area device is studied which would be ideal for use with standard 35 mm cameras. By applying multichip methods to Active Pixel Sensors, the 39x30 mm system contains on board all the control circuitry and A/D converters, so the system outputs digital data. The large area requires a redundancy of design for a high yield. This starts with the Active Pixel cel...
