Oliveira, Karol N.; Naujorks, Amanda C.; Freitas, Welica P. S.; Goncalves, Alem-Mar B.; Calheiro, Lisiane B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The use of radioactive isotopes in radioactive decay studies can be a problem due to the manipulation of radioisotopes, expensive equipment, and the difficulty of finding samples with a reasonable half-life (between 1 and 10 min). In this paper, we present a mock-up of a Geiger-Mu¨ller counter plus three fictitious radioisotopes. They form an…

Solman, Grayden J. F.; Cheyne, J. Allan; Smilek, Daniel – Cognition, 2012
We present results from five search experiments using a novel "unpacking" paradigm in which participants use a mouse to sort through random heaps of distractors to locate the target. We report that during this task participants often fail to recognize the target despite moving it, and despite having looked at the item. Additionally, the missed…

Scalfani, Vincent F.; Sahib, Josh – Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2013
The appearance of 3D printers in university libraries opens many opportunities for advancing outreach, teaching, and research programs. The University of Alabama (UA) Libraries recently adopted 3D printing technology and maintains an open access 3D Printing Studio. The Studio consists of a 3D printer, multiple 3D design workstations, and other…

Sternberger, Carol – AACE Journal, 2006
Electronic delivery of courses presents an evolving process and one that necessitates a change in the architecture of learning designs. Moving beyond the adaptation of familiar methodology for electronic delivery is challenging and requires innovation. The inclusion of interactive courseware in an electronically delivered course addresses varied…
