2=ˆ (1) 11H 1 ( 01 − 11 ) , so finally that Cˆ NOT(1,2 ) ˆ (1) H= 11 1 ( 01 − 10 ) . 2 2MATLAB codeBelow is an example of MATLAB code to perform a simulated measurement of a ket. A columnvector is passed to the ket_measure function, the function returns an integer from 1 to 4corresponding to the amplitudes of the ket. If the ket is ψ = a 00 + b 01 + c 10 + d 11 , thenthe probability of returning a 1, corresponding to the state 00 is a a = a . The

itself, and build on a growing effort at the K-12 [10]–[12],introductory [1], [2], and teacher education [13] levels to include these discussions in our upperlevel classrooms.We present on a two-pronged instructional approach in a Modern Physics for Engineers course atthe University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) in which we: a) construct an inclusiveenvironment through course structure, policies, and practices and b) implement a course unitengaging students in explicit discussions around representation and diversity in STEM. In thispaper, we describe the goals and implementation of this integrated approach to fosteringinclusion and teaching equity in a Modern Physics class (N=120). We report results of somepreliminary analyses to assess the

decades, there has been an exponential growth of data, and now the quantity is farbeyond the human intelligence to process it. In addition, the traditional computer programscannot process the data effectively either. Therefore, neural network based artificial intelligenceis needed. This approach emulates the learning processes of the human brain, so it is also calledmachine learning (ML). (a) (b) Fig. 1 Schemes of (a) traditional programing vs. (b) machine learning.The traditional way of data processing is algorithm based, with the computer being a staticdevice to execute the program, which is shown in Fig. 1(a). In this approach, the

sameevaluation protocol as in the previous study where the RC circuits test was scored independentlyby the authors, and any differences were discussed and reconciled. Each question was given ascore of 0-2 based on the answer and the reasoning provided.We analyzed the results using the same metrics as for the previous study, using question number2 from parts (a) to (e) in the RC circuits test as a prompt for mathematical-oriented problem-solving skills. We used four different instruments as indicators of conceptual understanding: a)the second midterm excepting a problem that was on RC circuits, b) the RC circuits problem inthat second midterm, c) the post-test of the 12 ECCE questions and d) the qualitative part of theRC circuits test.ResultsFigure 1

, collusion is the act of collaborating with one or more students or others on coursework when the professor has not expressly approved collaboration or group work on the assignment. 3. True or False: Hiring someone to write your paper or complete some other assignment is an example of impersonation. 4. Which of the following situations were included in the handbook as examples of cheating? (Select all that apply.) a. Copying from the examination or quiz of another student b. Using classroom notes, messages, or crib sheets in any format which gives the student extra help on the exam or quiz, and which are not approved by the instructor of the class c

large rocket (B&D model) powered by a D12-5 engineand small rocket (Skytrax model) powered by a B6-4 engine. Each rocket can also be powered byother engines that have higher or lower impulse ratings. Figure 8 shows some of the large rocketsduring the launch mass recording process. Figure 10 shows a large (left) rocket and a small (right)rocket during the lift-off stage. Each rocket was fitted by an altimeter to collect flight data. Figure9 shows the altimeter and its insertion under the nose cone of the large rocket. The large rocketdoes not have a dedicated payload section and the altimeter was hung under the nose cone. InFigure 10 (right), altimeter can be seen inside the payload section of the small rocket.Figure 8. Some of the large (B

following research question and sub-questions: How does the experience of learning differ between labatorials and traditional labs? a. How do social interactions in the lab impact the student learning experience? b. What elements of labs play a role in providing a satisfying learning experience? c. In what ways do labatorials affect student perspectives on physics? d. In what ways does students’ self-efficacy evolve through physics labs? e. In what ways do labatorials and traditional labs differ in promoting the development of conceptual understanding? The mixed methods design involves concurrent qualitative and quantitative datacollection, which was integrated at the data interpretation phase of the research

, because air has a index of refraction slightly greater than unity, there issome refractive bending, and thus, the signal may travel slightly beyond the horizon. (b) Thesurface wave, which is also called the Norton surface wave. Norton surface waves are waves thattravel along the earth’s surface in the same way a electromagnetic wave would travel along atransmission line[1]. The losses are dictated by the frequency, the higher the frequency, thegreater the signal attenuation. The Norton surface wave permits reasonable propagation ofsignals below the medium frequency (MF) bands and therefore, depending on the transmitterpower, AM broadcast signals can propagate up to a maximum of hundred or miles or so duringthe day via the surface wave.
