The focus of the present paper is the design of multi-player role-playing game instances as crucible experiences for the exploration of one’s emotional intelligence. Subsequent sections describe the design of game-based, intercultural crucible experiences and how this design was employed for training with members of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). This work with the USMC is presented as ...

Ultralong Si3N4 nanowires (NWs) were successfully synthesized with size controlled in N2 gas by using an efficient method. The diameters of the Si3N4 NWs increased when the flow rate of N2 gas increased, with average diameters of 290 nm from flow rates of 100 ml/min, 343 nm from flow rates of 200 ml/min and 425 nm from flow rates of 400 ml/min. Young's modulus was found to rely strongly on the ...

Preparation porous bio-char and activated carbon from rice husk char study has been conducted in this study. Rice husk char contains high amount silica that retards the porousness of bio-char. Porousness of rice husk char could be enhanced by removing the silica from char and applying heat at high temperature. Furthermore, the char is activated by using chemical activation under high temperatur...

A finite element method is used here to simulate the temperature field, the thermosolutal convection, the solute segregation, and the non-isothermal phase transformation during the growth of ZnTe crystal via the temperature gradient solution growth technique (TGSG) with an accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT). Three different trapezoid-wave ACRT sequences are proposed, and their effec...

The present paper discusses the Simulation Experience Design Method employed to create engaging learning environments for training U.S. Armed Forces to think adaptively. This design method is based on the notion that one’s total experience in the simulated environment, or crucible, is integral to the learning process. A “crucible” experience is a defining moment that unleashes abilities, forces...

Cabric & Janicijevic (2003) described a design for an air cooler in a laboratory crucible furnace, with the aim of regulating the crystallization rates in branchy Tamman test tubes. In the present paper, we show the development and improvement of the interior and exterior of the cooler, which better regulates different paths and rates of air ̄ow in a chamber furnace (Fig. 1). The setup serves to...
