One Size Does Not Fit All : Acknowledging and Addressing What's Wrong with American Public Education
Autor:
Indrek S. Wichman
Academic success requires talent (ability), which is not equally distributed among students. Almost all American undergraduates hail from K–12 public schools, based on the theory that everyone is academically educable. This has led to the one-size-

The Michigan State University Narrow Channel Apparatus (MSU-NCA) was used to investigate opposed flow flame spread over samples of thermally thick Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Three different fuel thicknesses were tested for mean airflow velocities

A model is developed for the formation and propagation of cracks in a material sample that is heated at its top surface, pyrolyses, and then thermally degrades to form char. In this work the sample...

This study characterizes thin fuel opposed flow flame spread in simulated microgravity for a range of gap heights and airflow velocities in a Narrow Channel Apparatus (NCA). One objective was to estimate gap heights that suppress buoyancy without pro

This paper analytically and computationally examines the transient jet used to ignite combustible mixtures during Turbulent Jet Ignition (TJI). In TJI the ignition source, which originates in the prechamber, enters through a connecting nozzle into th

It is generally accepted that green roofs can influence thermal properties of a building, but there is some disagreement on the role that substrate depth and plant species plays in this equation. A study was conducted over a second floor roof in East
