Generating Flash files of Your Lectures: Good Practice Strategies Helping Students Engage with Their Learning

Our students come from diverse backgrounds. They need flexibility in their learning. First year students tend to worry when they miss lectures or part of lectures. Having the lecture as an on line resource allows students to miss a lecture without stressing about it and to be more relaxed in the lecture, knowing that anything they may miss will be available later. The resource: The Windows based program from Blueberry Software (not Blackberry!) - BB Flashback - allows the simultaneous recording of the computer screen together with the audio, as well as Webcam recording. Editing capabilities include adding pause buttons, graphics and text to the file before exporting it in a flash file. Any diagrams drawn on the board or shown via visualiser can be photographed and easily incorporated. The audio from the file can be extracted if required to be posted as podcast. Exporting modes other than Flash are also available, allowing vodcasting if you wish. What you will need: - the recording software: it can be installed on the lecture hall computer just prior to lecture if needed - a computer: either the ones in lecture halls, especially if fitted with audio recording, or a laptop (I have used audio recording via Bluetooth for mobility). Feedback from students has been positive and will be presented on the poster.

A distance too far away : a novel and exegesis

This practice-led research examines the generative function of loss in fiction that explores themes of grief and longing. This research considers how loss may be understood as a structuring mechanism through which characters evaluate time, resolve loss and affect future change. The creative work is a work of literary fiction titled A Distance Too Far Away. Aubrey, the story’s protagonist, is a woman in her twenties living in Brisbane in the early 1980s, carving out an independent life for herself away from her family. Through a flashback narrative sequence, told from the perspective of the twelve year narrator, Aubrey retraces a significant point of rupture in her life following a series of family tragedies. A Distance Too Far Away explores the tension between belonging and freedom, and considers how the past provides a malleable space for illuminating desire in order to traverse the gap between the world as it is and the world as we want it to be. The exegetical component of this research considers an alternative critical frame for interpreting the work of American author Anne Tyler, a writer who has had a significant influence on my own practice. Frequently criticised for creating sentimental and inert characters, many critics observe that nothing happens in Tyler’s circular plots. This research challenges these assertions, and through a contextual analysis of Tyler’s Ladder of Years (1995) investigates how Tyler engages with memory and nostalgia in order to move across time and resolve loss.

Application of scalar dissipation rate modelling to industrial burners in partially premixed regimes

The objective of this paper is to test various available turbulent burning velocity models on an experimental version of Siemens small scale combustor using the commercial CFD code. Failure of burning velocity model with different expressions for turbulent burning velocity is observed with an unphysical flame flashback into the swirler. Eddy Dissipation Model/Finite Rate Chemistry is found to over-predict mean temperature and species concentrations. Solving for reaction progress equation with its variance using scalar dissipation rate modelling produced reasonably good agreement with the available experimental data. Two different turbulence models Shear Stress Transport (SST) and Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) SST are tested and results from transient SST simulations are observed to be predicting well. SAS-SST is found to under-predict with temperature and species distribution.

Passive control of combustion instability in a low emissions aeroderivative gas turbine

This paper describes the conceptual ideas, the theoretical validation, the laboratory testing and the field trials of a recently patented fuel-air mixing device for use in high-pressure ratio, low emissions, gaseous-fueled gas turbines. By making the fuel-air mixing process insensitive to pressure fluctuations in the combustion chamber, it is possible to avoid the common problem of positive feedback between mixture strength and the unsteady combustion process. More specifically, a mixing duct has been designed such that fuel-air ratio fluctuations over a wide range of frequencies can be damped out by passive design means. By scaling the design in such a way that the range of damped frequencies covers the frequency spectrum of the acoustic modes in the combustor, the instability mechanism can be removed. After systematic development, this design philosophy was successfully applied to a 35:1 pressure ratio aeroderivative gas turbine yielding very low noise levels and very competitive NOx and CO measurements. The development of the new premixer is described from conceptual origins through analytic and CFD evaluation to laboratory testing and final field trials. Also included in this paper are comments about the practical issues of mixing, flashback resistance and autoignition.

"Man of science, man of faith" : Lost, consumer agency and the fate/free will binary in the post-9/11 context

In 2004, Lost debuted on ABC and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Its postmodem take on the classic Robinson Crusoe desert island scenario gestures to a variety of different issues circulating within the post-9II1 cultural consciousness, such as terrorism, leadership, anxieties involving air travel, torture, and globalization. Lost's complex interwoven flashback and flash-forward narrative structure encourages spectators to creatively hypothesize solutions to the central mysteries of the narrative, while also thematically addressing archetypal questions of freedom of choice versus fate. Through an examination of the narrative structure, the significance of technological shifts in television, and fan cultures in Lost, this thesis discusses the tenuous notion of consumer agency within the current cultural context. Furthermore, I also explore these issues in relation to the wider historical post-9/II context.

Os estágios supervisionados do curso de pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Maranhão

Este trabalho propos-se a analisar a função legalmente proclamada do Estigio Supervisionado das habili taçoes do Curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Ma ranhão - UFMA. A partir desse pressuposto, procurou-se estu dar a função do Estágio em relação ao contexto social mais amplo. Nesse sentido, foi necessário fazer uma retrospecti va hist~rica sobre a Universidade do Maranhão, uma vez que nao se pode isolar a relação parte/todo. A fim de apreender o fenômeno estudado dentro de sua totalidade concreta, optou-se tambem pelo levanta mento e análise de dados empiricos sobre a realidade dos Estigios Supervisionados das habilitações Administração, Supervisão e Inspeção Escolar, Orientação Educacional e Ma gisterio do Curso de Pedagogia da U.F.MA. Como resultado dessa análise, constatou-se que o Estágio Supervisionado não representa na realidade, o elo de ligação entre conhecimentos teóricos e o trabalho concre to; os conteúdos das disciplinas teóricas desenvolvidas no Curso de Pedagogia da UFMA não servem de suporte ã praxis do Estágio; a parte prática do Estágio apresenta um caráter meramente utilitarista. Diante dessas considerações, concluiu-se que o Estágio Supervisionado do Curso de Pedagogia da UFMA , sob qualquer enfoque teórico analisado necessita ser revis tado. Dai, apresentou-se, como sugestao, a proposta do Está g-io Supervisionado' Integrado das habilitações Administr.ação, Supervisão e Inspeção Escolar, O~ientaçio Educacional 'e 'Ma gisterio que visa a apreensão da realidade global da Escol~ atraves de uma pritica de inserção, integradora dos ':er.emen tos que efetivamente atuam na organização escolar. o Estágio Supervisionado Integrado deverá se desenvolver em tres momentos: observação em sala de aula; estudo da es trutura e funcionamento da escola; e elabor a çao e aplicação d e propostas alternativas.

Energetic performance of landfill and digester biogas in a domestic cooker

The energetic performance of landfill biogas (LB) and biodigester biogas (BB) from municipal waste was examined in consumption tests. These tests were performed in situ at a gas generation plant associated with a landfill facility in Madrid (Spain) and following the standard UNE-EN 30-2-1 (1999). The jets of a domestic cooker commonly used for natural gas (NG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) were modified to operate with the biogases produced at the facility. The working pressures best suited to the tested gases, i.e., to avoid flashback and flame lift, and to ensure the stability and correct functioning of the flame during combustion, were determined by trial and error. Both biogases returned optimum energetic performance for the transfer of heat to water in a metallic recipient (as required by the above standard) at a supply pressure of 10 mbar. Domestic cookers are normally supplied with NG at a pressure of 20 mbar, at which pressure the energetic performance of G20 reference gas was higher than that of both biogases (52.84% compared to 38.06% and 49.77% respectively). Data concerning these issues involving also unexplored feedstock are required for the correct conversions of domestic cookers in order to avoid risks of serious personal injuries or property damages.

Superzoom. Italia y el compromiso radical

Italy: the new domestic landscape, la ambiciosa exposición que en 1972 tuvo lugar en el MoMA, supone la consagración y a la vez escenifica la muerte de lo que algunos críticos acababan de catalogar como Arquitectura Radical, término con el que intentaban unificar el trabajo de un heterogéneo y atomizado grupo de arquitectos, principalmente italianos, comprometidos con el replanteamiento total de la definición y objetivos de la disciplina. Se ponía fin así a un corto pero intenso periodo dinamitado por multitud de propuestas experimentales durante el que se generó la última arquitectura con aspiraciones socio-políticas, responsable de un vibrante legado teórico que proclamaba la vuelta a las raíces olvidadas de la profesión y que se mostraba más preocupada por reflexionar sobre sus fundamentos que por perpetuar la práctica de un oficio puesto en crisis. La simbiosis entre el trabajo de Superstudio y Archizoom, dos de los grupos radicales más activos y cuya indisolubilidad hemos querido subrayar acuñando el término ‘superzoom’, articula esta breve revisión a modo de flashback del fenómeno radical italiano, capaz de demostrar en menos de diez años que el ejercicio de la arquitectura y su aplicación docente podían ser ética y políticamente relevantes, abriendo una senda crítica que, en el momento actual de nuestra contradictoria profesión, sería recomendable volver a transitar.
