TL;DR: The Materials Science and Technology (MS&T) curriculum as discussed by the authors was developed at Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratories and emphasizes hands-on, minds-on studies of materials science and technology.
Abstract: Materials Science and Technology is a curriculum developed at Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, which emphasizes hands-on, minds-on studies of materials science and technology. This curriculum has been taught to over 1000 middle and high school teachers nationwide in a series of week-long institute programs, and is used in classrooms in 16 states. Evaluations have shown that the curriculum is highly effective in getting students interested in science and technology, and in encouraging them to study more science. This paper presents the basics of the curriculum and its approach, along with venues used for promoting the curriculum and the teaching methods used. Full evaluation results are discussed, including the assessment of increased student interest and increased student involvement their own learning. Means of adapting the program to a local situation are also presented.

TL;DR: This dissertation proposes generalized techniques to support software performance analysis using system execution traces in the absence of software development artifacts such as source code and proposes a novel technique to auto-construct a dataflow model from the system execution trace, which will be useful in evaluating software performance properties.
Abstract: Peiris, Thelge Manjula PhD, Purdue University, May 2016. Generalized Techniques for Using System Execution Traces to Support Software Performance Analysis. Major Professor: James H. Hill. This dissertation proposes generalized techniques to support software performance analysis using system execution traces in the absence of software development artifacts such as source code. The proposed techniques do not require modifications to the source code, or to the software binaries, for the purpose of software analysis (nonintrusive). The proposed techniques are also not tightly coupled to the architecture specific details of the system being analyzed. This dissertation extends the current techniques of using system execution traces to evaluate software performance properties, such as response times, service times. The dissertation also proposes a novel technique to auto-construct a dataflow model from the system execution trace, which will be useful in evaluating software performance properties. Finally, it showcases how we can use execution traces in a novel technique to detect Excessive Dynamic Memory Allocations software performance anti-pattern. This is the first attempt, according to the author’s best knowledge, of a technique to detect automatically the excessive dynamic memory allocations anti-pattern. The contributions from this dissertation will ease the laborious process of software performance analysis and provide a foundation for helping software developers quickly locate the causes for negative performance results via execution traces.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method which can be used for the evaluation of the synergistic effect between control factors and structure's parameters, namely "successive displacements and variations" method.
Abstract: This paper is devoted to two similar objectives: to properly position the role of materials science and to outline probable directions of its future development. The latter is based on recent progress in fundamental and related applied sciences. At the same time, the proper usage of fundamental and applied sciences results' is quite limited due to highly variable properties of the components. This significantly limits the application of already obtained knowledge related to the mechanisms of interaction between the components during the structure formation processes. Contemporaneously, the acquisition of new knowledge in construction materials science is based on the discovering the features of the structure formation mechanisms of materials, while considering the variability the previously being mentioned difference in characteristics. In this article the author had expanded the systemic concepts in the construction materials science. As the typical complex technical systems, composite materials are able to self- organize even in non-equilibrium conditions. This assessment suggests the existence of synergistic effect. The method which can be used for the evaluation of the mentioned synergistic effect between control factors and structure's parameters, namely "successive displacements and variations" method - was offered. The method complements the well-known experimental design methods and is suitable for determination the areas of the factor space in which the detailed studies should be performed to determine the dependences between features of structure and process of the material's structure formation. These dependencies, in turn, can show up the emergence of a synergistic effect - the building material is starting to be form as a technical system.

TL;DR: Viability of animal science departments depends on attracting and challenging students with curricula that are demanding, create curiosity, and prepare students to understand the "whys and hows" of the phenomena of animal biology.
Abstract: Basic science and applied science instruction are compatible and essential for animal science professionals to succeed in their chosen career. Application of science is a continuum. Although production methods are constantly evolving, the science on which changes are made is fixed and fundamental. Only our understanding changes. We are educating students in preparation for a life-long learning process. Viability of animal science departments depends on attracting and challenging students with curricula that are demanding, create curiosity, and prepare students to understand the "whys and hows" of the phenomena of animal biology.
