Download or read book Introduction to Recognition and Deciphering of Patterns written by Michael A. Radin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Recognition and Deciphering of Patterns is meant to acquaint STEM and non-STEM students with different patterns, as well as to where and when specific patterns arise. In addition, the book teaches students how to recognize patterns and distinguish the similarities and differences between them. Patterns, such as weather patterns, traffic patterns, behavioral patterns, geometric patterns, linguistic patterns, structural patterns, digital patterns, and the like, emerge on an everyday basis, . Recognizing patterns and studying their unique traits are essential for the development and enhancement of our intuitive skills and for strengthening our analytical skills. Mathematicians often apply patterns to get acquainted with new concepts--a technique that can be applied across many disciplines. Throughout this book we explore assorted patterns that emerge from various geometrical configurations of squares, circles, right triangles, and equilateral triangles that either repeat at the same scale or at different scales. The book also analytically examines linear patterns, geometric patterns, alternating patterns, piecewise patterns, summation-type patterns and factorial-type patterns. Deciphering the details of these distinct patterns leads to the proof by induction method, and the book will also render properties of Pascal’s triangle and provide supplemental practice in deciphering specific patterns and verifying them. This book concludes with first-order recursive relations: describing sequences as recursive relations, obtaining the general solution by solving an initial value problem, and determining the periodic traits. Features • Readily accessible to a broad audience, including those with limited mathematical background • Especially useful for students in non-STEM disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, economics and business, as well as for liberal arts disciplines and art students.

Download or read book The Star Gate Archives written by Edwin C. May and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star Gate is the largest funded program in the history of psi research receiving about $19.933 million in funding from 1972 to 1995. Researchers from SRI International, and later at Science Applications International Corporation, in association with various U.S. intelligence agencies participated in this program. Using the remote viewing method, research focused on understanding the applicability and nature of psi in general but mostly upon informational psi. Volume 1: Remote Viewing (1972-1984) and Volume 2: Remote Viewing (1985-1995) include all aspects of RV including laboratory trials and several operational results. Volume 3 focuses on laboratory investigations on psychokinesis. Volume 4: Operational Remote Viewing: Government Memorandums and Reports includes an analysis of the applied remote viewing program and a selection of documents that provide a narrative on the behind the scenes activities of Star Gate. In a total of 504 separate missions from 1972 to 1995, remote viewing produced actionable intelligence prompting 89% of the customers to return with additional missions. The Star Gate data indicate that informational psi is a scientifically valid phenomenon. These data have led to the development of a physics and neuroscience based testable model for the underlying mechanism, which considers informational psi as a normal, albeit atypical, phenomenon. The Star Gate data found insufficient evidence to support the causal psi (psychokinesis) hypothesis.

Download or read book Canterbury Cathedral Trinity Chapel written by David S. Neal and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canterbury Cathedral possesses a unique marble mosaic pavement, dating from the early twelfth century, which has long intrigued scholars and been the subject of speculation and debate. It forms part of the floor of the Trinity chapel, adjacent to the site where the shrine of St Thomas Becket stood, prior to the Reformation. Since the mosaic is older than the chapel itself and partly destroyed a pavement of figurative roundels, laid c. 1215, it must have been moved here from elsewhere in the cathedral. This volume explores the history and archaeology of the Trinity chapel, the pavement and the physical remains of the cult of Becket, based largely on hitherto unrecorded and unpublished evidence. In the early twelfth century, Archbishop Anselm rebuilt the eastern arm of the cathedral, introducing architectural elements from his native Italy, and these included a magnificent mosaic pavement, composed of the most expensive marbles, which lay in front of the high altar. In 1170, Archbishop Becket was murdered in the cathedral, and his body rested overnight on the pavement before being buried in the crypt. Thomas was immediately revered as a martyr, and in 1173 was canonized by the pope; a simple shrine was erected over his tomb. In the following year, a fire (arson) destroyed the eastern arm of the cathedral, precipitating the construction of the present Trinity and Corona chapels, wherein St Thomass remains were enshrined. After decades of delay and political strife, the enshrinement took place in 1220, in the presence of Henry III. The shrine comprised a great marble table, supported on six clusters of columns. On top of the table was a marble sarcophagus containing the saints body in an iron-bound timber coffin, over which stood the sumptuous feretory, a gabled timber roof, plated with sheets of gold and adorned with jewels. East of the shrine lies the small Corona chapel in which a fragment of Beckets skull was separately encased in a head-shrine, and to the west a large area was paved with forty-eight figurative stone roundels, created by French artisans. All around, stained-glass windows display the early miracles of Becket. The layout of the Trinity chapel underwent transmutations, first around 1230, when the mosaic pavement was taken up from the old presbytery, reduced in size and relaid in front of Beckets shrine, where is it today. Second, the chapel was reordered in c. 1290, when the podium carrying the shrine was enlarged and the paving around it reconfigured. Medieval tombs were now being installed in the chapels, including those of the Black Prince and Henry IV. The end came in 1538, when Henry VIII ordered the thorough destruction of Beckets shrines, but a great deal of archaeological evidence remained in the floors, walls and a few surviving fragments of the shrines, all now recorded and discussed in this volume for the first time.

Download or read book Refining the Mathematics Knowledge Base written by Bindu Elizabeth Pothen and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the knowledge that teachers must bring to their classrooms is critical to the advancement of the field of teacher education. Understanding how teacher knowledge impacts various aspects of teacher practice is also critical. Understanding the interplay between teacher knowledge and practice, and consequently the result that this relationship has on student learning is most important. This dissertation attempts to advance our collective understanding of the complex relationship between teacher knowledge, teacher practice, and student learning in the field of elementary mathematics. Four third-grade teachers were followed as they taught a subset of lessons in a unit on fractions. The study first investigates the types of knowledge that the teachers brought to their classrooms. Then, an examination is conducted of the way in which these types of knowledge impacted their teaching practice. Finally, the student learning that resulted over the course of these lessons is discussed. This study supports the widespread belief that teacher knowledge is important to instruction. The descriptions of the case study teachers highlight that their varying levels of knowledge resulted in unique aspects of practice being emphasized in their classrooms. This dissertation documents the differences in teaching practice and the trade-offs that produce differences in student learning. Interesting student learning patterns emerged, based on qualitative student interviews. Medium students from classrooms in which teachers focused for more sustained periods on mathematical concepts seemed to demonstrate greater procedural fluency and deeper conceptual understanding than their peers in the other classrooms. Low students in classrooms where fluency was the focus seemed to show slightly greater procedural fluency, though less conceptual understanding, than their peers in the classrooms that spent more time on concepts. High students showed no appreciable difference across all classrooms. This study adds to the field by introducing a new construct, the conceptual threshold, to offer an explanation of these student learning trends.
