The Hanseatic League was the major commercial power in northern Europe from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries. During this time, it grew to encompass the coasts of the North and Baltic Seas and maintained economic influence over key areas on the European continent. From the inception of the Hanseatic League until the mid-fifteenth century, one ship type dominated the inland and overse...

Introduction SOSORT Consensus Conference (Milan 2005) developed about the main important features of a correct treatment based on physical exercises states that the main point is self correction. The SEAS school of treatment focuses on Active Self Correction (ASC) that is the series of movements of reallignemnt as a whole that the patients autonomously performs in order to reduce the scoliotic ...

6 grade students learned about horizontal projectile motion through Compare and Contrast (CC) instruction or Invention (INV) activities using identical contrasting cases generated by a Physics Education Technology (PhET) computer simulation. Results showed that the INV treatment led to superior learning outcomes over the CC condition. Worksheet analyses revealed that CC students mainly focused ...

The erosive action of rivers and seas has immense influence on the appearance of the physical landscape. However, the creation of several important river and coastal features are not available in terrain creation software and systems. We have designed algorithms to easily create these features, namely (1) river meanders, (2) river deltas, (3) coastal cliffs, and (4) beaches. A terrain that does...

The paper introduces the integration of three ICT and computer oriented laboratories, namely traditional computer based laboratory, remote real laboratory across the Internet and virtual laboratory. We present the system composed of the system ISES (Intelligent School Experimental System), remote real experiments across the Internet with software ISES WEB Control kit and examples from virtual l...

The emblems of my essay are maglevs speeding through tunnels below the surface of Earth and a crucifix glowing between the antlers of a stag, the vision of St. Hubert. Propelled by magnets, maglev trains levitate passengers with green mobility. Maglevs symbolise technology, while the fellowship of St. Hubert with other animals symbolises behaviour. Better technology and behaviour can do much to...

There are several different standard conventions for specifying a locale, and the first decision is which convention to use. PhET specifies a locale using codes defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO). ISO 639-1 defines language codes [3], while ISO 3166-1 defines country codes [4]. While there are other standards, these are the most commonly-used definitions. An example of a ...

The transportation of people and freight of cargo increase as the numbers of high-speed vessels and huge cargo ships steadily grow. In addition, large cargoes of dangerous bulk freights are shipped across our seas and through the shallow waters of our archipelagoes. This emerging situation calls for new means of navigation concepts in order to support the man on the bridge. In this paper we des...

This paper outlines the research conducted on the SEAS DTC AA011 project into learning cooperative decision strategies for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs). The paper presents a brief review of the technical challenges involved and existing approaches to designing cooperative decision strategies. An initial study is used to compare two of the candidate solutions: Probability Collectives (PC) and Coord...
