We compared the amounts of learning achieved using two different instructional approaches under controlled conditions. We measured the learning of a specific set of topics and objectives when taught by 3 hours of traditional lecture given by an experienced highly rated instructor and 3 hours of instruction given by a trained but inexperienced instructor using instruction based on research in co...

In this position paper, we describe a novel approach for creating visual stimuli for research on gesture in instruction. The approach is based on a system of computer animation instructor avatars whose gesture is controlled with a script. Compared to video recording instructor actors, the approach has the advantage of efficiency—once the script is written, it is executed automatically by the av...

PURPOSE High-fidelity simulation training is effective for learning crisis resource management (CRM) skills, but cost is a major barrier to implementing high-fidelity simulation training into the curriculum. The aim of this study was to examine the cost-effectiveness of self-debriefing and traditional instructor debriefing in CRM training programs and to calculate the minimum willingness-to-pay...

A switched capacitor circuit which simulates Frequency Dependant Negative Resistor is proposed. The circuit is controlled by three phases clock and needs one unity gain buffer. A comparison among SC FDNRs in other references is shown. SWITCAP simulation of SC filter using these circuits are also shown. Key-Words; Switched-Capacitor(SC) Frequency Dependant Negative Resistor(FDNR) Filter immittan...

The magnetic state and the moment of TMPc can be controlled through changing electric field polarization Sc 2 CO ; control heterostructure-state inversion, allowing magnetism to controlled.

Two cable logging systems were reviewed to compare the efficiency of potential biomass extraction from remote forest sites in Ireland based on productive machine hour (PMH) and unit cost of operation (€/m). Three operational scenarios (SC) were analysed where SC I was a three man crew operation (choker setter, the carriage operator and unhooking chokers). SC II was a variation of this with a tw...
