We discuss waves created in relatively thick plates by edge excitation at frequency-thickness (fd) products that correspond, in principle, to multiple Lamb wave modes. For relatively low values of the fd product it is clear that Lamb wave modes will be generated, while at large values of the fd product we observe a bulk (longitudinal wave) in the solid, but influenced by reflections from the pl...

Recent work has shown that the same neural circuitry that typically underlies risky behaviors also contributes to prosocial behaviors. Despite the striking overlap between two seemingly distinct behavioral patterns, little is known about how risk taking and prosociality interact and inform adolescent decision making. We review literature on adolescent brain development as it pertains to risk ta...

The Initiative of establishing Information Technology (IT) and Community Service Centers, later renamed Knowledge Stations (KSs) was launched in 2001. The KSs initiative is intended to implement IT in local communities (LCs) and remote areas in preparation for the E-Government process. This study develops a model that explores KSs’ role as a partnership in E-Government readiness in Jordan throu...

Informal note taking is a significantly different task from note taking in structured settings. This type of activity requires a special set of requirements including a substantial lowering of hurdles to capture and access across a variety of environments. Cepher is a prototype note capture system that supports the capture and retrieval of short notes through a variety of input devices. People ...

While today's teachers use a variety of teaching methods in middle-school science classes, lectures and note-taking still comprise a major portion of students' class time. To be successful in these classes, middle-school students need effective listening and note-taking skills. Students with learning disabilities (LD) are poor note-takers, which negatively impacts their academic performance. Th...

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman siswa yang masih rendah pada materi Penciptaan Manusia Mata Pelajaran Al-Qur’an Hadis kelas XI IPS di MA Syekh Abdul Qodir Al-Jailani (SAQA) Rangkang Kraksaan Tahun 2022-2023. Pada pra siklus, seluruh belum memahami penciptaan manusia. Lalu setelah diterapkan strategi Guided Note Taking siklus I, maka manusia meningkat menjadi 55,5%...
