Second College ECT Survey

Construction of ECT - B - splines , a survey ∗

s-dimensional generalized polynomials are linear combinations of functions forming an ECT-system on a compact interval with coefficients from R. ECT-spline curves in R are constructed by glueing together at interval endpoints generalized polynomials generated from different local ECT-systems via connection matrices. If they are nonsingular, lower triangular and totally positive there is a basis...

A survey of introductory college genetics courses.

Imperial College Consortium on Pore - Scale Modelling Second Progress Report

We describe the early stages of a poreto coreto reservoir-scale investigation of wettability variation and its impact on flow during oil recovery. We use a threedimensional pore-scale network representation of a Berea sandstone to predict relative permeability and capillary pressure hysteresis. We successfully match experimental data for the water-wet case, and then focus upon the effect of var...

Situating Second-Year Success: Understanding Second-Year STEM Experiences at a Liberal Arts College

Challenges particular to second-year students have been identified that can impact persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. We implemented a program to improve student success in intermediate-level science courses by helping students to feel they belonged and could succeed in STEM. We used survey measures of perceptions and attitudes and then qualitative m...
