Ain’t much fun

We Had So Much Fun. Now What?

The declining enrollment is a dilemma that many information systems programs are facing. In this study, we design a “Mobile Star” project to promote the information systems major to high school students in Texas. Each “Mobile Star” project consists of a mobile app development workshop and the student’s app showcase. We expect to explore whether the student’s perceived completion, perceived achi...

How much control is enough? Optimizing fun with unreliable input

~onetary ~est~aint and instalment Credit

For as long as one can remember, monetary policy has been tossing about on a sea of controversy. The issues change from year to year, of course. Yet, curiously enough, it is difficult to detect anything like a convergence toward a consensus on such basic questions as: (1) What is monetary policy? (2) How does it work? (3) How well does it work? (4) How could its effedtiveness be enhanced, its p...

Long hours aside, respondents say jobs offer 'as much fun as you can have'.

1830 They're not making a lot of money, but they like their work. That seems to be the message of the second AAAS salary survey of U.S.-based life scientists. Three years ago, those who answered the inaugural survey (Science, 12 October 2001, p. 396) said much the same thing. The biggest difference between the two surveys is the slower rise in salaries—an average of 4% over last year compared w...

Cation of Const Aint Dynamics for Spacecraft Maneuver

A new approach for spacecraft maneuver based upon constraint dynamics and tracking control laws is presented in this paper. For high precision pointing requirement on spacecraft maneuver, a desired trajectory is prescribed upon which a constraint dynamic system is constructed. A reference model system governed by constraint force is used to build the associated control laws for actual system. S...
