Interpretación de la letra en estudiantes “talentosos” de educación básica y media

Esta intervención se realizó con estudiantes con rendimiento académico sobresaliente en un colegio distrital de la ciudad de Bogotá. El instrumento aplicado es del profesor Pedro Javier Rojas y fue discutido en el seminario de Transición Aritmética-Álgebra de la Maestría en Educación de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Se presentan los resultados de la implementación de un instrumento que tiene como fin, en este caso, indagar sobre los significados de la letra en contextos numéricos en estudiantes de grado 8° a 11°. El análisis se hace a partir de lo que se esperaba antes de la aplicación y lo que realmente ocurrió al aplicarlo.

Análisis de problemas en el libro de texto del estudiante de matemática en 11º año de enseñanza media en relación al eje datos y azar en el período escolar 2007 y 2011

El desarrollo de las habilidades para un conocimiento estadístico necesario es posible desarrollarlo y fortalecerlo por medio de variados recursos didácticos dispuestos para la enseñanza y aprendizaje. Dentro de los recursos disponibles es el texto de matemática el más utilizado por profesores y estudiantes. El texto debe entregar herramientas que permita a los estudiantes desarrollar una alfabetización matemática, realizando una focalización más explícita en los conocimientos, comprensión y habilidades requeridas para funcionar efectivamente en la vida diaria (PISA Chile, 2009).

Coupled 3-D finite difference time domain and finite volume methods for solving microwave heating in porous media

Computational results for the microwave heating of a porous material are presented in this paper. Combined finite difference time domain and finite volume methods were used to solve equations that describe the electromagnetic field and heat and mass transfer in porous media. The coupling between the two schemes is through a change in dielectric properties which were assumed to be dependent both on temperature and moisture content. The model was able to reflect the evolution of temperature and moisture fields as the moisture in the porous medium evaporates. Moisture movement results from internal pressure gradients produced by the internal heating and phase change.

I wanna be a protocol: online media and electronic structures of kinship

Heidegger famously identified Modernity with a technological leveling of being to a single order of a “standing reserve.” In a radically different tone, Gilles Deleuze articulated a single “plane of immanence” within which ontological distinctions between mind and body, God and world, interiority and exteriority become indiscernible. Taking such philosophical declarations as points of departure, this panel will consider how a collapse of ontological distinction emerged as a thematic and structural trope in literary and cinematic modernisms. We hope to consider how writers and film-makers of the 20th c. utilize the resources of their media to ask “the question of being” that troubled their philosophical contemporaries and heirs. In this vein, we will examine how these modernist ontologies of immanence describe the crisis of a subject saturated and eclipsed by a world which comprises her while also remaining strange or opaque. Papers will ask what is lost with the departure of a distinctly human sense of “being” and how the historical arrival of an alternative ontological order may be evident in the lived experience of modernity. In this sense, the relationship to departures and arrivals becomes the modern subject’s suspicion that he is unable to do either vis á vis the world.

Trembling the plane of immanence: media arts philosophy and the re-vision of art (or what’s acoustics got to do with the visual?)

A new poetics of exile and belonging: the place of memory in the new media environment

This paper explores how new media environments represent and create collective memories of trauma; how creative digital practice can be a key methodology for memory studies and the potential of digital interfaces for representing and reconciling collective memories of trauma, particularly in the context of Cyprus. My project MemoryBank will be used as a model to discuss the potential role of creative digital media practice in both community arts and the formal education process in order to enable participants to engage with the process of peace and reconciliation in Cyprus and circumvent and negotiate politically ossified collective memory narratives and chauvinistic histories.

Can Pickering emulsion formation aid the removal of creosote DNAPL from porous media?

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the proposition that creosote, emplaced in an initially water saturated porous system, can be removed from the system through Pickering emulsion formation. Pickering emulsions are dispersions of two immiscible fluids in which coalescence of the dispersed phase droplets is hindered by the presence of colloidal particles adsorbed at the interface between the two immiscible fluid phases. Particle trapping is strongly favoured when the wetting properties of the particles are intermediate between strong water wetting and strong oil wetting. In this investigation the necessary chemical conditions for the formation of physically stable creosote-in-water emulsions protected against coalescence by bentonite particles were examined. It was established that physically stable emulsions could be formed through the judicious addition of small amounts of sodium chloride and the surfactant cetyl-trimethylammonium bromide. The stability of the emulsions was initially established by visual inspection. However, experimental determinations of emulsion stability were also undertaken by use of oscillatory rheology. Measurements of the elastic and viscous responses to shear indicated that physically stable emulsions were obtained when the viscoelastic systems showed a predominantly elastic response to shearing. Once the conditions were established for the formation of physically stable emulsions a "proof-of-concept" chromatographic experiment was carried out which showed that creosote could be successfully removed from a saturated model porous system.
