We will obtain a coefficient of proportionality  or  . Then let’s change thedirection of cutting and repeat experiment. After series of such experiments, we can draw thepolar diagram (in 2D case) of  or  . (Figure3a). We can also apply gradient of potential inone direction and can measure the density of electrical current in the perpendicular direction andcalculate the ratio of them. After series of such an experiment, we also can draw the polardiagram (Figure 3b).

In the spectrumof untreated fiber, the absorption peaks of C-O groups were reflected at the vibrational stretch of1130-1150 cm-1 and weaken gradually with the addition of Al micro particles and TiO2nanoparticles. Moreover, the band range of 1400-1450 cm-1 is related to -C-H group but notchanged with the addition of Al micro and TiO2 nanoparticles.

The first level considers participants’ reactions about the contentof the program, the process of how it was delivered and who delivered it, and context questionsabout the training setting or environment. Participant learning is the second level of this plan,indicated by cognitive, behavioral, and affective goals set and assessed by learners reflecting onhow the professional development helped them meet their goals. The third level examinesorganization support and change by measuring wider policies and procedures held by theorganization which the professional development aligns with. It evaluates whether

The overall consensus of thestudent was that performing five labs during the last three weeks of the term placed unnecessarystress on student during an already stressful time. Student evaluation was also modified fromprevious years to reflect the addition of five laboratories. Student evaluation was based on onemidterm (15%), laboratory design (30%), other labs (15%) and the final exam (40%).For winter 2007 the course is unchanged from the previous year except for a drop in the numberof labs required from five to three. The evaluation scheme has also changed slightly, placingmore emphasis on the laboratory design (35% from 30%) and less on the final exam (35% vs.40%).Evaluation of the

Since we have combined the programs, and we create computer science electives with computer engineering in mind, the computer engineering students benefit from a wider array of choices. • Course content: With computer engineering and computer science in the same department, and a shared assessment process, there is a finer level of control over course content. Changes in course content in one program can be immediately reflected in changes in another program without passing through the usual departmental (or college) bureaucracy. • Collaboration: Freshman intro courses and the senior project are obvious places where the three programs can collaborate.

In this VI,coefficients of “sal” and “cal” functions as well as the real and imaginary parts of the FFT areplotted on separate graphs as various standard waveforms are phase shifted. The behaviorexhibited further underscores the strong analogy between the FFT and FWT. As a sine waveexperiences a positive phase shift, the spectrum of both the real part of the FFT and the calfunctions of the FWT increase, while the imaginary part of the FFT and the sal functions of theFWT decrease. However, this behavior reverses after 90 degrees, at which point the oddsymmetry of the reflected sine wave begins to be asserted again.

nation’s roadways are now built with asphalt, which has traditionally had the lowestinitial costs. But asphalt has less durability than concrete and regularly needs repairs andreplacement. Asphalt is also an oil product and subject to unpredictable price swings. The darkcolor of asphalt contributes to the heat island effect, where temperatures in cities can be morethan 10 ˚F above those in the surrounding countryside, which substantially increases energyconsumption in the summers. Light in color, the reflectivity of concrete could help reduce theheat island effect. Additionally, these roadways would need less illumination at night.
