The two-year study aimed to explore how students’ development of different inquiry abilities actually benefited from the design of technology-infused learning modules. Three learning modules on the topics of seasons, environmental issues and air pollution were developed to facilitate students’ inquiry abilities: questioning, planning, analyzing, and modeling. Two classes of seventh graders (13-...

a canola seed pneumatic conveyor was designed and constructed to convey canola seed at a 90 g/hr mass flow rate through a 58 mm diameter pipe. physical and aerodynamic properties of the canola seed that are critical to the design process were measured. system pressure drop, comprising air pressure drop and solid pressure drop and which is the most important aspect of pneumatic conveyor design, ...

This paper introduces the special effects of the new developed Regional Satellite Augmentation System (RSAS) as an integration component of the Global Satellite Augmentation System (GSAS) employing current and new Satellite Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) for improving Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Air Traffic Management and of GPS or GLONASS and enhancement of safety and emer...

during the recent decades, urban management in iran has increasingly confronted numerous challenges due to different kinds of social, cultural, political, executive, financial, and legal factors. the present study is going to specify and analyze the aforementioned challenges in the domain of the urban environment in order to determine how far they have been effective, how they have been priorit...

The analysis of data on transport developments is one major objective in the transport research focus of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Following this objective, the DLR’s Institute for Transport Research (VF) offers, together with the Clearing House of Transport and Mobility, a unique collection of publicly funded travel and mobility surveys for Germany and is the official provider for Ger...

background: air pollution and concerns about health impacts have been raised in metropolitan cities like tehran. trend and prediction of air pollutants can show the effectiveness of strategies for the management and control of air pollution. artificial neural network (ann) technique is widely used as a reliable method for modeling of air pollutants in urban areas. therefore, the aim of current ...

A detailed numerical model is developed that describes heat and mass transfer from a meniscus to open air. The model accounts for the effects of evaporation at the interface, vapor transport through air, thermocapillary convection, and natural convection in air. Evaporation at the interface is modeled using kinetic theory, while vapor transport in air is computed by solving the complete species...
