Turns mistakes on their head and helps you cleverly use them to students' advantage. Each of the activities in this book focuses on important ideas in grades 4-5 mathematics. By examining comic strips, letters to a fictitious maths expert, and sample student work containing mistakes, learners explore typical maths mistakes, reflect on why they're wrong, and move toward deeper understanding.

Brings together theory, research and practice related to non-cognitive variables in a practical way by using assessment methods provided at no cost. Non-cognitive variables have been shown to correlate with the academic success of students of all races, cultures and backgrounds.

Initially published in French under the title Operation Nemesis, this revealing work is a study of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and the individuals responsible for the execution of Turkish leaders involved in the Armenian Genocide of 1915

Satellite remote sensing, in particular by radar altimetry, is a crucial technique for observations of the ocean surface and of many aspects of land surfaces, and of paramount importance for climate and environmental studies. It provides a state-of-the-art overview of the satellite altimetry techniques and related missions.

The book explains sound insulation in buildings at a level suitable for both graduate students and consultants, covering: theoretical models for sound transmission in buildings; sound transmission through windows and facades; the subjective evaluation of sound insulation; measurement uncertainty and some experimental buildings with high insulation.

This book provides a complete summary of principles, instrumentation, methods, and clinical applications of 3D dosimetry in modern radiation therapy treatment. It is an essential guide for those involved in design and implementation of treatment technology and applications in advanced radiation therapy.

Shelving Guide: Electrical Engineering Since the 1980s more than 100 books on the finite element method have been published, making this numerical method the most popular. The features of the finite element method gained worldwide popularity due to its flexibility for simulating not only any kind of physical phenomenon described by a set of differential equations, but also for the possibility of simulating non-linearity and time-dependent studies. Although a number of high-quality books cover all subjects in engineering problems, none of them seem to make this method simpler and easier to understand. This book was written with the goal of simplifying the mathematics of the finite element method for electromagnetic students and professionals relying on the finite element method for solving design problems. Filling a gap in existing literature that often uses complex mathematical formulas, Electromagnetics through the Finite Element Method presents a new mathematical approach based on only direct integration of Maxwell''s equation. This book makes an original, scholarly contribution to our current understanding of this important numerical method.

This book systematically introduces physical characteristics and implementations of III-nitride wide bandgap semiconductor materials and electronic devices, with an emphasis on high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs).

This book serves as a tutorial for newcomers to the field of outcome modeling; including in-depth how-to recipes on modeling artistry and providing instructions on how such models can approximate the physical and biological realities of clinical treatment.

This book covers short-circuit currents, current interruption theories, circuit breaker types, calculations according to ANSI/IEEE and IEC standards, and the rating structure of switching devices. It explains the nature of short-circuit currents, the symmetrical components for unsymmetrical faults, and matrix methods of solutions.

This second edition of the Handbook of Optoelectronics gives a complete overview of the field, from fundamentals to technology developments and industry applications. This revised edition contains numerous new topics, from VCSELs to biosensors, flexible displays, 3D optical data storage, and laser diodes.

Distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) are capable of revealing information about temperature, strain, vibration, pressure, or magnetic field from anywhere along the fiber. This book explains their physical principles, unique benefits, broad categories, implementation aspects, and performance criteria.

This volume explores the multifaceted and tumultuous transformation of American higher education that occurred between 1945 and 1970, while examining the changes in institutional forms, curricula, clientele, faculty, and governance.

Lonnie H. Athens' path-breaking work examines a problem that has baffled experts and the general public alike: How does a person become a predatory violent criminal?

More than half the states in this country have legislation on sex offenders that distinguishes between those whose offense is incidental to other offenses ("felony" sexual offenders), and those who engage in "repetitive, habitual, or compulsive" sex offenses ("criminal sexual psychopaths"). This second category is the subject of this book

Vladimir C. Nahirny's brilliant study of major issues in Russian social and intellectual history synthesizes historical and sociological perspectives in an analysis of the nineteenth century Russian intelligentsia.

As it entered the 1960s, American institutional psychiatry was thriving, with a high percentage of medical students choosing the field. But after Thomas S. Szasz published his masterwork in 1961, The Myth of Mental Illness, the psychiatric world was thrown into chaos.

This book examines in detail the physical properties and device applications of semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles. It begins with a review of the synthesis and characterization of various semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles and goes on to discuss in detail their optical, light emission, and electrical properties. It then illustrates some exciting applications of nanoelectronic devices (memristors and single-electron devices) and optoelectronic devices (UV detectors, quantum dot lasers, and solar cells), as well as other applications (gas sensors and metallic nanopastes for power electronics packaging).

This practical guide addresses the issues of spirituality in health care, emphasising the role of organisations in developing a culture of leadership and management that facilitates spiritual care. Spirituality is a central part of holistic care that addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of care in an integrated way. At the practitioner level, rather than addressing ¿spirituality¿ as a purely theoretical concept, chapters describe spiritually competent practice and show how it can be taught and put into practice in a variety of areas.
