This research will explore the use of a virtual polyhedron modeling environment which creates nets, or patterns, for a polyhedron created on the screen, in the teaching of geometry and spatial skills. When the net is printed, cut, folded, and glued together, a 3-dimensional model of the original polyhedron is created. We propose to examine the use of this tool in an instructional setting, to dete ...

The goal of this project is to improve remedial math instruction for adults by combining (a) an effective adult education model; (b) an effective instructional design method, with; (c) the multimedia capabilities of the computer. The innovative combination of these components will produce an effective math program designed specifically for adult learners that can be used at home, at school, or ...

TALKING WITH CHILDREN ADDRESSES A SUBSTANTIAL NEED FOR INNOVATIVE TRAINING STRATEGIES THAT IMPROVE THE COMPETENCE OF TEACHER AIDES (TA'S) IN STRATEGIES KNOWN TO PROMOTE LANGUAGE PRODUCTION AND ACQUISITION IN STUDENTS (K-3) WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP).

THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER-ASSISTED METHOD OF DEVELOPING THE INDIVIDUAL FAMILY SERVICE PLAN (IFSP) REQUIRED OF EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS AS PART OF THE 1986 EDUCATION OF THE HANDICAPPED ACT. BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANTLY CHANGING DEVELOPMENTAL PHASES OF THE BIRTH TO FIVE YEAR OLD POPULATION, SPECIFIC LONG TERM ACHIEVEMENTS ARE VERY DIFFICULT FOR PROFESSIONALS TO PREDICT. AS A RES ...

STEAM GENERATOR TUBES REPRESENT A UNIQUE PART OF THE REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS). LEAKAGE FROM ANY OTHER PART OF THE RCS IS CAPTURED BY THE CONTAINMENT BUILDING, BUT STEAM GENERATOR TUBE LEAKAGE IS TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE CONTAINMENT BUILDING ALONG WITH THE STEAM, WHICH IS NORMALLY UNCONTAMINATED. STEAM GENERATOR TUBES, CONSEQUENTLY, DESERVE, AND RECEIVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. THE ASSURANCE OF STE ...

ON FEBRUARY 9, 1991, AT THE MIHAMA UNIT 2 NUCLEAR POWER STATION, OPEARTED BY KANSAI ELECTRIC CORPORATION, A STEAM GENERATOR TUBE RUPTURED AND RELEASED APPROXIMATELY 9,000 GALLONS OF REACTOR COOLANT INTO THE SECONDARY SYSTEM. THE LEAKAGE CAUSED A RAPID DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM, WHICH RESULTED IN AN AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP AND ACTUATION OF THE HIGH PRESSURE SAFETY INJECTION SYST ...
