This summary page includes recent updates to the topic since publication. SUMMARY OF actIONS tOwarDS SuStaINable OutcOMeS Introduction Alternative low energy air conditioning solutions are now commonly sought in preference to typical air conditioning systems for both residential and commercial applications. The industry has seen a growing emergence of ground source heat pump (GSHP) installations throughout Australia over the last five years. A broad spectrum of facilities ranging from domestic housing, hospitals, education facilities, commercial offices and civic buildings to name a few, are now realising the environmental benefits offered by GSHP systems over more commonly used air conditioning systems. This summary note provides a brief overview of the previous note and provides an update on changes that have occurred since. basic Strategies Heat rejection is fundamental to all air conditioning systems. Typically, unsightly roof mounted air cooled condensers and cooling towers are by far the most commonly used method for rejecting heat from a building. Ground source heat pumps are somewhat different to the norm. Basically GSHP are refrigeration machines that provide heating and cooling by using ground water and the earth as a medium to reject and/or...

...What effect does consequences have on improving student behavior in the general education classroom? Darrell Brown AMBA 600 9043 MBA Fundamentals (2148) Professor Masi November 11, 2014 Executive Summary Research shows that meaningful consequences can help improve student behavior in the general education classroom. This paper discusses the effects of consequences on improving student behavior. More specifically it discuses two behavior management programs, the checkbook approach and consequence maps. The checkbook approach allows students to take ownership of their actions by allowing them to be an active part in choosing the rules, rewards, and consequences used in helping them perform better. This behavior management program ensures student motivation. It models real life situations and students are allowed to earn and buy rewards. The consequence map gives the student a graphic representation of behaviors and consequences. It depicts the current, undesirable behavior and an alternate behavior along with the consequences that goes along with each option. With the use of either method, educators are likely to see and improvement in student behavior in the general education classroom. B. F. Skinner was an American psychologist and behaviorist who invented the idea of operant conditioning. Skinner says that people do not just develop behaviors, but they release them as well and that our behaviors operate on our environment, which generates...

...BRIDGING THE VALLEY OF DEATH: LESSONS LEARNED FROM 14 YEARS OF COMMERCIALIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION ABSTRACT We argue for the increasing importance of providing graduate students skills in technology entrepreneurship and the commercialization of technology. We describe the lessons we have learned from fourteen years of developing commercialization of technology pedagogy and adapting it for use on four continents and within numerous corporations. We demonstrate that the straightforward theory-driven approach that we use to shape the curriculum improves our ability to learn from our mistakes and to structure small experiments to improve the pedagogy. INTRODUCTION Interest in the commercialization of technology and high technology entrepreneurship has increased significantly in the past decade. It is apparent that in many increasingly knowledge-based economies, effective managers will need to be better trained in dealing with technologists and in creating business growth and advantage through commercializing technology. Technical education faces new demands as well. For example, the National Academy of Sciences (COSEPP, 1995) issued a committee statement calling for rethinking graduate education for scientists and engineers to include the skills to promote the commercialization of technologies that they create. As interest in commercialization of technology has increased, so has academic research interest in this area. For example, the Journal of Product Innovation...

...Answers to Review Questions 1. Name and discuss the different levels of data abstraction as defined by ANSI/SPARC. Conceptual Located at the abstraction apex, the conceptual model represents a global view of the data. It forms the basis of the conceptual schema, which provides a relatively easily understood bird's-eye view of the data environment. Since the conceptual model focuses on the main data objects and avoids detail, it exhibits both software and hardware independence. The most widely used conceptual model is the Entity Relationship (E-R) model, which yields the basic database blueprint. Internal The internal model represents the adaptation of the conceptual model to a specific DBMS. Basically, the internal model requires the database designer to match the conceptual model's characteristics and constraints to those of the selected hierarchical, network, or relational DBMS. Therefore, although it is still hardware-independent, it is software-dependent. External The external model represents the applications programmer's view of the data environment. Its use requires that the modeler subdivide a universal set of requirements and constraints into functional modules, each represented by its own external model. (The modules correspond to business units such as production, sales, personnel, and so on.) Each external model is represented by its own external schema. Each business unit is thus represented by an external model that includes that unit's entities...

It has provides a new way for students to learn. The use of technology and its media in education has enhanced a way for students to lean and can make the learning experience fun. There are many aids available to allow teachers to find ways to cater for the needs of all the different types of learners in their classroom. Different types of technology that can be used in the classroom would be; computers, projectors, smart boards, televisions and cameras. With using a computer you have many different programs you can use, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, also you have Internet Explorer. Microsoft word is a word processing program that is used by students in class to create, edit, save, view and print research assignments along with other documents. PowerPoint is a presentation software program that allows you to easily customize your presentations into slide shows, photo albums, web pages and more that is widely used in classrooms. Excel allows students to prepare charts and diagrams that can be used to explain complicated concepts, get the student motivated, and review progress. These diagrams and charts are pictorial representations of the information; both are used to communicate visually and both try to simplify the information that the student is conveying. The...

...Texas Undocumented Students And Education Policy EDU 365 Politics of American Education September 3, 2012 The society group of undocumented immigrant students has impacted education policy in many ways over the last ten years, especially the Border States that are so highly affected such as; California, Arizona, and Texas. In this paper I will focus on Texas and how these policies including the rights of the students, funding issues, and language barriers have impacted the way in which these school districts have had to change the policies set forth to ensure every child receives a quality public education. In Texas, prior to 1982 the law did not allow school districts to use state funds to educate undocumented immigrant children; districts were even allowed to deny enrollment to these children. (Combs, Susan, 2006) However, in the case of Plyler v. Doe in 1982 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Texas law was in violation of the equal protection provision of the 14th Amendment. (Combs, Susan, 2006) As a result of this and many other court cases, states can no longer deny access to public education to undocumented students nor can they attempt to identify undocumented children for fear of discrimination. (Combs, Susan, 2006) The Texas Education Agency reported that the average state and local expenditure per student in 2004-05 was $7,085, noting this does not include federal funds. (Combs, Susan, 2006) Although the actual number of undocumented immigrant...

...Technology and Business Jessica M. Royapen TEC 401 February 18, 2012 T. Mark Bassett Technology and Business Technology has a huge part in the world. Without technology, many things, which we depend on, would not be possible. Technology within the workplace has both some positive and negative effects. This paper will discuss the authors’ personal experience in the workplace along with examples of how management within the company where the author is most familiar with, expects technology to improve business and whether or not the company is meeting or not meeting their business needs. There are many times companies are faced with issues regarding technology being implemented into the work place, unfortunately companies such as the Florida Department of corrections are always faced with budget issues and are not always capable of implementing new and improved technology. According to the secretaries, message during the 1998-1999 annual report “With almost 27,000 employees, more than 200,000 people in custody or under supervision and a $1.7 billion budget, the Florida Department of Corrections is the largest agency in the state of Florida and the fourth-largest prison system in the nation” (Moore, N.D). In order to keep such an organization running is by making wise decisions during your daily operations that can ultimately get the job done quickly and efficiently. Currently Central Florida Reception Center per policy must keep a daily record of events, called...
