Mining Temporally-Varying Phenomena in Scientific Datasets
Simulation is enhancing and, in many instances, replacing experimentation as a means to gain insight into complex physical phenomena. Recent advances in computer hardware and numerical methods have made it possible to simulate physical phenomena at very fine temporal and spatial resolutions. Unfortunately, given the enormous sizes of the datasets involved, analyzing datasets produced by these s...
متن کاملDesigning a programming-based approach for modelling scientific phenomena
We describe an iteratively designed sequence of activities involving the modelling of 1dimensional collisions between moving objects based on programming in ToonTalk. Students aged 13-14 in two settings (London and Cyprus) investigated a number of collision situations, classified into six classes based on the relative velocities and masses of the colliding objects. We describe iterations of the...
متن کاملScaling phenomena in the growth dynamics of scientific output
We analyze a set of three databases at different levels of aggregation (i) a database of approximately 10 publications of 247 countries in the period between 1980–2001. (ii) A database of 508 academic institutions from European Union (EU) and 408 institutes from USA in the 11 year period between during 1991–2001. (iii) A database comprising of 2330 Flemish authors in the period 1980–2000. At al...
متن کاملEmergent phenomena in scientific publishing: A simulation exercise
We model the academic production process understood as the creation, submission, evaluation and publication of papers: scientists produce manuscripts to the best of their abilities and try to publish them in academic journals, which rely on referees to judge the submissions. The resulting model is able to reproduce several properties of the journal-landscape but also illustrates that even under...
متن کاملVisualizing the Invisible: Generating Explanations of Scientific Phenomena
This study investigated the ability of learner-generated visualizations to improve learning in science. The hypothesis was tested in two domains, a mechanical system and a chemical system, and the results were analyzed separately to compare low and high spatial ability learners. The production of visual explanations of a mechanical system, a bicycle tire pump, increased understanding of the pum...
