Modeling Theory in Science Education (Science &, Technology Education Library)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is the culmination of over twenty years of work toward a pedagogical theory that promotes experiential learning of model-laden theory and inquiry in science. It is primarily intended for researchers and graduate students in science education, and it may serve as a major reference for in-service and pre-service science teachers. The book focuses as much on course content as on instruction and learning methodology, and presents practical aspects that have repeatedly demonstrated their value in fostering meaningful and equitable learning of physics and other science courses at the secondary school and college levels. The author shows how a scientific theory that is the object of a given science course can be organized around a limited set of basic models. Special tools are introduced, including modeling schemata, for students to meaningfully construct models and required conceptions, and for teachers to efficiently plan instruction and assess and regulate student learning and… [detailed...]

Modeling and Analysis of Transient Processes in Open Resonant Structures: New Methods and Techniques (Springer Series in Optical Sciences)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The initial boundary value problems considered in the book describe the transient electromagnetic fields formed by open periodic, compact, and waveguide resonators. The methods and algorithms which are developed and the mathematical and physical results obtained provides a basis on which a modern theory for the scattering of resonant non-harmonic waves can be developed. The need for the creation of such a theory is acutely felt in the many applications of resonant pulsed fields, since accurate and reliable modeling of their formation, radiation, and scattering are to a large extent lacking. One of the principal goals of the book is to present solidly based and robust algorithms for such structures with substantially increased efficiency that allow the extraction of complete and accurate information concerning the scattering of transient electromagnetic waves by complex objects. The determination and visualization of the electromagnetic fields in such situations, based on… [detailed...]

Modeling and Data Treatment in the Pharmaceutical Sciences

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the IntroductionThe intent of this text is to develop with the student or reader, an ability to look at data and draw all the possible inferences from them, evaluate such inferences statistically, and then, most importantly, to form a picture, mathematically or not, of the actual process that is responsible for the responses. Hence, it has an aim to create an awareness of the use of statistics in pharmaceutical experimentation. This awareness transcends the rote use of canned programs in computers. Aside from addressing the use of statistics and computers for data analysis, many examples in the book point to the dangers of such use without thoughtful understanding of the principles involved. However, the ultimate aim of the book is the ability to use data to model a situation, a phenomenon, or a process and to logically decide on further experimentation. The author has experienced countless situations where someone ( a client, a student) would say that experiments were performed… [detailed...]

Modeling and Simulation of Biological Networks

2007 y.
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
Description: It is the task of computational biology to help elucidate the unique characteristics of biological systems. This process has barely begun, and many researchers are testing computational tools that have been used successfully in other fields. Mathematical and statistical network modeling is an important step toward uncovering the organizational principles and dynamic behavior of biological networks. Undoubtedly, new mathematical tools will be needed, however, to meet this challenge. The workhorse of this effort at present comprises the standard tools from applied mathematics, which have proven to be successful for many problems. But new areas of mathematics not traditionally considered applicable are contributing other powerful tools. This volume is intended to introduce this topic to a broad mathematical audience. The aim is to explain some of the biology and the computational and mathematical challenges we are facing. The different chapters provide examples of how these challenges… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: This book summarizes the results of the editors` modeling-from-reality (MFR) project, which took place over the last decade. The goal of this project was to develop techniques for modeling real objects and/or environments into geometric and photometric models through computer vision techniques. By developing such techniques, time- consuming modeling process, currently undertaken by human programmers, can be (semi-) automatically performed, and, as a result, one can drastically shorten the developing timeof such virtual reality systems, reduce their developing cost, and widen their application areas. The project was conducted while the authors were at the Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo. Modeling from Reality is suitable for a secondary text in a graduate-level course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry. [detailed...]

Modeling the impacts of climate change on cattle water demand and supply in Botswana

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The climate is changing as a result of GHGs emission mainly from human activities. Climate changes climate will adversely impact various ecosystems and economic activities. Semi-arid environments will be impacted more than other environments as extreme events are likely going to occur more on this regions. The water sector is more likely to be impacted more than other sectors due to its direct link with precipitation, which will be affected by climate change. Though most of the studies have ignored the impacts of climate change on the demand side of water resources, to get a holistic view on the impacts of climate change on water resources there is a need for overall assessment both demand and supply. The rationale for assessing the impact of climate change on both the supply and demand is because water availability is a function of both supply and demand. Thus, this book employs systems dynamic model to simulate the total impacts of climate change on livestock water demand and supply… [detailed...]

Modelling Change in Integrated Economic and Environmental Systems

Publisher: —
Description: The relationship between economic and environmental systems is an important one which affects all living organisms directly or indirectly and is becoming increasingly recognised in policy arena. The more this relationship is studied analytically and empirically, the more aware we become of the gap in our existing knowledge of environmental data and process parameters. While important empirical questions are unanswered in environmental economics literature, work on the environmental science of ecological systems largely fails to raise all the right questions and to identify key variables in human-exploited ecosystems. Monographs on environmental economics tend to focus on a single resource or group of resources with an emphasis on either micro level or macro level. This volume is the product of the authors, recognition of all of these gaps. The central theme of this book is how economic frameworks and features of environmental systems can be integrated within formal models to… [detailed...]
