SSH Has Revitalized High School Education

Graph Theory in High School Education

Graph theory is not being taught on Czech high schools. The reasons seem to be rather historical than factual. In this contribution, we discuss the usefulness of elementary Graph theory for High school students. Then we formulate the targets and objectives of this education. Core of this contribution is topological sorting. It is an example of an advanced topic in graph theory, which is still c...

Applying Creativity in CS High School Education

This paper describes an innovative method for teaching computer science in general high school education, illustrated with the example of introductory programming. Analyzing the literature in CS education research we found that creativity is rarely regarded, especially in high school education; although a few authors describe promising results from applying creativity. We designed and applied a...

Direct observation in high school physical education

Electrical interconnects revitalized

Models of electrical interconnects, including inductance and skin effect, are reviewed. The models are used for estimating the performance of electrical interconnects, particularly related to delays, data rates, and power consumption for off-chip and on-chip interconnects and for clock distribution. It is demonstrated that correctly utilized, electrical interconnects do not severely limit chip ...

The revitalized NSLS VUV ring

A status report on the revitalization of the NSLS VUV ring will be presented, concentrating on three areas: 1) the four infrared ports (U2A/B, U4IR, U10A/B, and U12IR), 2) conversion of out-of-date toroidal grating monochromators to spherical grating type (U4A, U7A, and U12A), and 3) new insertion device beamlines (U5UA and U13UB). All of these beamlines were designed (new ones) or upgraded (ol...
