When a plane shock hits a wedge head on, it experiences a reflectiondiffraction process and then a self-similar reflected shock moves outward as the original shock moves forward in time. Experimental, computational, and asymptotic analysis has shown that various patterns of shock reflection may occur, including regular and Mach reflection. However, most of the fundamental issues for shock refle...

Large-scale lectures are a typical way of teaching university students. However, these lectures often lack interaction elements and do not foster awareness and reflection in the learning process. This results in insufficient learning outcomes such as learning satisfaction and success. Therefore, a new approach to engage interaction in such large-scale lectures is the flipped classroom concept w...

We study relations between the two-parameter Uq(sl(n))-invariant deformation quantization on sl∗(n) and the reflection equation algebra. The latter is described by a quantum permutation on End(C) given explicitly. The reflection equation algebra is used for constructing the oneparameter quantization on coadjoint orbits, including symmetric and certain bisymmetric and nilpotent ones. Our approac...

Deflectometry is a full-field gradient technique that lends itself very well to testing specular surfaces. It uses the geometry of specular reflection to determine the gradient of the surface under inspection. In consequence, a necessary precondition to apply deflectometry is the presence of at least partially specular reflection. Surfaces with larger roughness have increasingly diffuse reflect...

This paper proposes an ontological model of Donald Schön's notion of reflection in the domain of designing. We address two views of this notion. First, we present a functional view that describes reflection in terms of the designer's interactions with the design object and their intended and unin-tended consequences that then drive further interactions. Second, we present a constructional view ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this research was to explore the value of reflection and its application to practice through the implementation of educational modules within a new Diabetes Care and Education Master Degree Programme in Kuwait, and to realise how this teaching intervention informs changes in practice. METHODS A small exploratory case study was conducted within the Dasman Diabetes Inst...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce a pedagogical method used in a design studio as part of a curriculum-greening process to encourage reflection on the complexity of sustainability and sustainable design. Online reflective journals were used in two semesters of a sustainable design studio to develop students’ awareness and understanding of concepts relating to sustainability an...

Software must be constantly adapted due to evolving domain knowledge and unanticipated requirements changes. To adapt a system at run-time we need to reflect on its structure and its behavior. Objectoriented languages introduced reflection to deal with this issue, however, no reflective approach up to now has tried to provide a unified solution to both structural and behavioral reflection. This...

As software systems become larger and more complex, a relevant part of code shifts from the application domain to the management of the system’s run-time architecture (e.g., substituting components and connectors for run-time automated tuning). We propose a novel design approach for component-based systems supporting architectural management in a systematic and conceptually clean way and allowi...
