Conceptual Models for Understanding an Encounter with a Mountain Wave
Conceptual models are one of many resources available to pilots for making sense of the flight environment. In this paper we describe the conceptual models a pilot uses, in interviews, to explicate his encounter with a mountain wave while flying an Airbus airplane on the line. In the discourse four models emerge: mountain wave, thrust to control speed, pitch to control speed, and climb-descend ...
متن کاملLongitudinal study of student conceptual understanding in electricity and magnetism
We have investigated the long-term effect of student-centered instruction at the freshman level on juniors’ performance on a conceptual survey of Electricity and Magnetism E&M . We measured student performance on a research-based conceptual instrument—the Brief Electricity & Magnetism Assessment BEMA –over a period of 8 semesters 2004–2007 . Concurrently, we introduced the University of Washing...
متن کاملTowards Understanding Conceptual Differences Between Minimaxing and Product-Propagation
Advantages and disadvantages of minimaxing versus product propagation back-up rules for game tree searching have been intensively discussed in the literature. So far, examinations have almost exclusively been carried out through experiments, demonstrating slight superiorities for one or the other back-up rule. In contrast to these purely quantitative investigations, we aim at elaborating differ...
متن کاملTransferring Data from Smartwatch to Smartphone through Mechanical Wave Propagation
Inspired by the mechanisms of bone conduction transmission, we present a novel sensor and actuation system that enables a smartwatch to securely communicate with a peripheral touch device, such as a smartphone. Our system regards hand structures as a mechanical waveguide that transmits particular signals through mechanical waves. As a signal, we used high-frequency vibrations (18.0-20.0 kHz) so...
متن کاملPlane Wave Propagation Through a Planer Slab
An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for propagation of an elastic pulse through a planar slab of finite width. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is s...
