FORTBILDUNGSZENTRUM FÜR TECHNIK UND UMWELT (FTU): International Management

The importance of self-monitoring to the effective use of insulin therapy and for those at risk of hypoglycaemia through leisure or work activities (including driving) on oral medications was noted. The frequency of monitoring that is useful to someone with diabetes is highly individual and it is inappropriate to put an artificial restriction on this. The usefulness of selfmonitoring, is dependent on the ability of users and health professionals to interpret the data particularly in the early stages of use by a person with diabetes, implying proper education and professional training on these aspects....

Clothing and Individual Equipment

For example, a footrest is normally not necessary if both desk and chair are adjustable through sufficient ranges, which is the preferred arrangement. Desk lamps are not needed when the ambient light levels are adequate. Monitor arms are not needed with most personal computer arrangements, since placing the VDU monitor on the central processing unit usually results in an appropriate height, and modern monitors have a built- in capacity to tilt and swivel. Monitor arms can be valuable for getting the monitor well out of the way for other tasks, or when sharing a monitor display with...

COLLECTED THE ALAN WILDER/DEPECHE MODE HISTORIC EQUIPMENT, VINYL & MEMORABILIA AUCTION

The aim of ergonomic design is to satisfy as large a proportion of the population as possible. This is usually not achieved by using the mean values of the appropriate anthropometric dimensions. Ideally, adjustability should be provided to cater for the wide variability of certain critical dimensions among the population. The adjustment ranges must then be carefully chosen. Even if a dimension of a chair is not made adjustable, careful choice of the best percentile on which to base the fixed dimension can minimise discomfort among the population using the chair. To illustrate the problems...

In Memoriam: J. C. R. Licklider

Automatic sprinklers are highly effective and reliable elements of total system designs for fire protection in buildings. In 2003-2007, sprinklers operated in 93% of all reported structure fires large enough to activate sprinklers, excluding buildings under construction and buildings without sprinklers in the fire area. When sprinklers operate, they are effective 97% of the time, resulting in a combined performance of operating effectively in 91% of all reported fires where sprinklers were present in the fire area and fire was large enough to activate them. The combined performance for the more widely used wet pipe sprinklers is...

German Marine Equipment

Work through the manual from the beginning. You know that it is divided into 3 sections. It is a good idea to complete a whole section in one go if you can. At the beginning of the section you will find a list of skills you will learn. Read these carefully and return to them when you have completed your work. It is important that you do not move on until you have learned all the required skills. Read each section carefully. You may come across new words which you do not know. These should be explained in the glossary at the end of the manual. You will...

LECTURES ON APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Then proceed to say that you’re going to explain the maths behind this trick as you go. This works really well if you’ve done a few other tricks already that you have refused to explain. Holding the pack face-down, begin taking a card at time and placing them left to right in three face-up piles, starting at the left each time. As you start doing this, explain that it is a common magic trick to put the cards into multiple piles and then get the volunteer to just say which pile their card went into, but not what the card...

Lecture Notes on Discrete Mathematics

The abuse of technology is evident in some of the examples cited above. Fingers-on-the-buttons has now replaced engagement-of-the-brain with in- creasing frequency. I should also call attention to the insistence in educa- tional documents that students in K-4 be allowed to have access at all times to the calculator ([MAF], pp.57-59; [N1], p.19; [N5], p.vi; [UN]). In theory, giving children an extra tool in the form of a calculator can do nothing but “empower” them mathematically, to use a term that is popular these days, but what if the theory is not born out by hard facts? In anecdote after anec- dote, one hears horror stories of the...

Reaching All Students - A Resource for Teaching in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics

The most obvious reason why school mathematics education should matter to university professors is that a continuing inﬂux of mathematically in- competent students would decimate the university mathematics curriculum. One can look no further than the United Kingdom to have one’s worst fears conﬁrmed. If the report [TM] released by the Council of the London Math- ematical Society in October, 1995, is to be trusted, then the UK is some ﬁve years ahead of us in a mathematics education reform remarkably similar to our own in its rhetoric. ...

Sample Assessment Materials September 2007

What we are witnessing here is symptomatic of much of the recent trend of appeasement in education: instead of trying to uphold a certain standard and help mold as-yet-unformed minds, educators simply accept the deterio- rations in the classroom as a given. It would only be a small step to apply such a philosophy in earnest to demand a total revamping of undergraduate, and even graduate mathematics programs in order to ﬁt the needs of the new generation. Is such a statement sheer fantasy? Hardly. You think what is taking place in K-12 and calculus does not conform to your conception of mathematics? A remedy has already been...

College Algebra and Trigonometry

Place bottle tops, top-side up, to make a shape. Record the co- ordinates of the corners of the shape. Place another set of bottle tops, teeth-side up, to show the image of the shape when it has been enlarged by a scale factor of 2 from the origin. Record these new co-ordinates. Compare the two sets of co-ordinate pairs. Show different shapes enlarged by a scale factor of 2 from the origin. Note the co-ordinates and investigate how the sets of co- ordinates are related. Now try enlargements of other scale factors such as 5, 1/2, -2. Try enlargements from points other than the origin....

Mathematical Omnibus: Thirty Lectures on Classic Mathematics

One of our objectives is to develop rigorously the concepts of limit, continuity, differen- tiability, and integrability, which you have seen in calculus. To do this requires a better understanding of the real numbers than is provided in calculus. The purpose of this section is to develop this understanding. Since the utility of the concepts introduced here will not become apparent until we are well into the study of limits and continuity, you should re- serve judgment on their value until they are applied. As this occurs, you should reread the applicable parts of this section. This applies especially to the concept of an open covering and...

INTRODUCTION TO REAL ANALYSIS

In conclusion, let us outline a diﬀerent argument, very much in the spirit of Lectures 8 and 5. We considered in these lectures the space of polynomials of a certain type (such as x3 + px + q or x5 − x + a) and saw that the set of polynomials with multiple roots separated the whole space into pieces, corresponding to the number of roots of a polynomial. The set of polynomials with multiple roots is a (very singular) hypersurface obtained by equating the discriminant of a polynomial to zero. Unlike the real case, the set of zeros of a complex equation does not separate complex space....

The Economic Impact of Stimulating Broadband Nationally

Conventional project evaluation also tends to undervalue public transportation service quality improvement benefits (Litman 2007b). High quality, grade separated public transit attracts people who would otherwise drive on congested roadways, which reduces the point of congestion equilibrium (the level of congestion at which travelers reduce their peak-period trips). Although congestion never disappears, it is not nearly as bad as would occur without such transit services. Since transit services experience economies of scale, service quality and cost effectiveness tend to increase as demand grows, providing additional user benefits. ...

THE ECONOMIC WAY OF LOOKING AT LIFE*

My research uses the economic approach to analyze social issues that range beyond those usually considered by economists. This lecture will describe the approach, and illustrate it with examples drawn from past and current work. Unlike Marxian analysis, the economic approach I refer to does not assume that individuals are motivated solely by selfishness or gain. It is a method of analysis, not an assumption about particular motivations. Along with others, I have tried to pry economists away from narrow assumptions about self interest. Behavior is driven by a much richer set of values and preferences....

How to Build an Economic Model in Your Spare Time

I've seen it claimed that one of the greatest fears that most people have is speaking before a group. I imagine that most assistant professors have this problem, but after many years of giving lectures before several hundred students it goes away. In fact, lecturing can become downright addictive (as my family often reminds me.) As the mathematician R. H. Bing once said: \When I was young, I would rather give a lecture on mathematics than listen to one. Now that I am older and more mature I would rather give two lectures on mathematics than listen to one. Giving lectures is a bit like eating oysters....

The United Kingdom: Economic Growth, a Draft Master Plan

In section 1 the developments of the mortgage markets have already been extensively discussed. In this section attention is being drawn to the well-known fact of maturity mismatches. The mortgage product requires a risk commitment from one bank, non-bank or another for nearly always 25 years or longer. Banks and building societies in the U.K., as elsewhere, do not have funds available which are committed for 25 years, not even their own equity resources as recent banking losses have shown. Individual households are generally unable to repay their mortgages any faster. At the moment only Manchester Building...

Three Lectures by Warren Buffett to Notre Dame Faculty, MBA Students and Undergraduate Students

By keeping the curriculum and testing regimes unchanged from previous years, the author was able to use a quasi-experimental method to compare progress during the pilot study with that of previous cohorts, factoring out differences in prior attainment. Evidence for improved attainment through the introduction of the VLE was inconclusive, with only a small, statistically insignificant gain. Data mining techniques suggested that pupils using the VLE in a more strategic manner received the greatest benefit. ...

Book: Alarm Bells in Medicine Danger Symptoms in Medicine, Surgery and Clinical Specialties

As a clinical student, I never felt I gained much from didactic teaching. The greatest exception to this was a lesson taught by Peter Ellis, Consultant ENT Surgeon at Addenbrooke’s hos- pital. He had the daunting prospect of taking an uninspired group of students for the whole afternoon in a small, stuffy lecture room. He made us take our seats, then, sitting on a table at the front, he announced, ‘I am going to teach you something today that you are never going to forget. Any patient with hoarseness of the voice for 3 weeks has carcinoma of the larynx until proven otherwise. Right, off you go.’ The lesson...
