Interdisciplinary Experience Using Technological Tools in Sport Science

Interdisciplinary Meandering in Science

I was a graduate student in mathematics at Princeton immediately following World War II, 1945–1947. In those days, with veterans of the war inundating universities, there was no option but to earn a Ph.D. within two years. My thesis research was in functional analysis, an area of abstract mathematics. My mentor was Professor S. Bochner, a distinguished contributor to harmonic analysis. My class...

Measuring user's emotional experience in two tools using an integrated method based on task analysis

Background and Objectives: Human factors are critical in the research and development of various products, but the wideness and unclarity of different aspects of these factors make it difficult to extract the demands of users. Studying emotional aspects of users' behavior with respect to products, as well as interviewing them, is considered an efficient tool for extracting design demands. Me...

Nanotechnology: Interdisciplinary science of applications

Nanotechnology is the study of particle sizes between 1 and 100 nanometers at least at one dimension. Particle size reduced to nanometer length scale exhibit more surface area to volume size ratio and showing unusual properties makes them enable for systematic applications in engineering, biomedical, agricultural and allied sectors. Nanomaterial can create from bottom up or top down approaches ...

Using Science Songs to Enhance Learning: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Music is recognized as an effective mode of teaching young children but is rarely used in university-level science courses. This article reviews the somewhat limited evidence on whether and how content-rich music might affect college students' understanding of science and offers practical suggestions for incorporating music into courses. Aside from aiding memorization, songs may potentially imp...
