This paper carefully follows graduates of the largest of Israel's public colleges, their success in their studies at the College, and in their studies towards graduate degrees in institutions of higher education in Israel. It explores who these graduates are, where they came from, their academic success, and where they headed after attaining an undergraduate degree. The aim is to examine the li...

Since its opening four years ago, the Lied Library has experienced many challenges, mostly driven by dramatic changes at UNLV. Specifically, new strategic initiatives and tremendous growth of the university’s student population have resulted in an increased number of new academic programs and degrees. These new academic programs have had a significant effect on Lied Library, impacting several a...

Using Bowen and Bok’s data from 23 selective colleges, we fit multilevel logit models to test two hypotheses with implications for affirmative action and group differences in attainment of science, math, or engineering (SME) degrees. Hypothesis 1, that differences in precollege academic preparation will explain later SME graduation disparities, was fully supported with respect to the outcome ga...

This paper presents an innovative motion base for flight simulator, which is based on the new six degrees-offreedom parallel mechanism, called ‘Eclipse-II’. Most conventional simulators adopt the Stewart platform as its motion base. The Stewart platform is a six degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism that enables both translational and rotational motions. However, the motions such as continuous 3...

Realistically tilted models of the human head have been developed to improve the accuracy of the numerical simulation of coupling between the human head and cellular telephones for the likely tilted positions of the antennas vis à vis the head. A “best fitting” technique is used to rotate an approximately 2 2 3 mm resolution model of the human head based on MRI scans of a male volunteer so that...
