As issues are raised specific to those assignments, it becomespossible, after subsequent analysis, to give the students some guidance that lessens the potentialfor the students to easily come to erroneous conclusions in their experiments. However thistakes away from the open-endedness of the project. This leads the author to the conclusion thatin the at home situation where continuous instructor monitoring of the process does not occur,the kind of experiment that is given has

The students are asked how we cantweak the algorithm to reverse the bias, and, better yet, to eliminate it. (We got some good suggestions from thestudents.) The next question arises: if it is proven that the original algorithm always results in a stable matching,does the modified algorithm also achieve it? The last question may be answered by doing analysis or by extensivetesting.The stable marriage algorithm was applied to college admissions, matching two roommates, and matching medicalschool graduates to residency training programs [6, 8]. An interesting project is to apply (possibly tweaking) thestable marriage algorithm to other

released a report, titled, “The Rise ofAsian Americans” (Pew Research Center, 2012) based on the 2010 U.S. census (U.S.Census Bureau, 2012). The title referred, in part, to the changing demographic andsocioeconomic trends. In 1960, Asian Americans comprised less than one percent ofthe U.S. population, but account for 5.6% today—becoming the fastest growing groupin the country. Immigration is driving much of this demographic change (Alba & Nee,2003; Lee & Bean, 2010). China and India have now surpassed Mexico as the leadingsources of new immigrants to the United States. Demographers project that, by 2065,immigrants from Asia will comprise 38% of all immigrants to the country. As a result,Asian Americans will nearly triple in size, and

The continuous operation of data centers under highload generates a lot of heat, which requires efficient coolingsystems to remove heat to prevent servers shutting down orsuffering damage.
