In this lesson, students will be introduced to the boolean (logic) operators NOT, AND, and OR as tools for creating compound boolean conditions in if statements. Students will learn how to more efficiently express complex logic using AND and OR, rather than deeply nested or chained conditionals. Students will work through a worksheet that covers the basics and a few problems with evaluating logical expressions, then write code in App Lab to practice using && and || in if statements. Finally, students will improve the Movie Bot so it can respond to multiple keywords and provide recommendations based on both the genre and rating provided by the user.

Sponsorship management is activities that an event organization engages in to secure support from sponsors and manage the interests of sponsors at the event. The organizer and sponsor are jointly interested in successfully operating events for their mutual benefit. This section provides an overview of sponsorship management for events. The differences between sponsorship and advertising were compared for their strengths and weaknesses. The sponsorship management of a social event was discussed from the prospective from the perspective of organizers and sponsors. A case study on an LGBT+ event provided a case problem for how to construct a social media sponsorship package.

This course explores policy and planning for sustainable development. It critically examines concept of sustainability as a process of social, organizational, and political development drawing on cases from the U.S. and Europe. It also explores pathways to sustainability through debates on ecological modernization; sustainable technology development, international and intergenerational fairness, and democratic governance.

This is a problem set that involves the calculation of velocities from a Reynolds number, determination of Stoke's Law applicability, and calculation of settling velocities for a variety of grain sizes and materials. This can be used in conjunction with a lab but is itself just a problem set.

Pursuant to a call signed by eight hundred and fifty citizens of Rhode Island, a large number of gentlemen, friendly to the immediate abolition of slavery, assembled in the High Street Congregational Meeting House in Providence on Tuesday, February 2, 1836.

In this lesson, toothpick patterns are used to explore growth patterns. Students are asked to extend patterns using toothpicks, drawing, and numbers. By observing patterns, students will strengthen their ability to represent real-world patterns to the abstract language of algebra.

Through a five-lesson series with five activities, students are introduced to six simple machines inclined plane, wedge, screw, lever, pulley, wheel-and-axle as well as compound machines, which are combinations of two or more simple machines. Once students understand about work (work = force x distance), they become familiar with the machines' mechanical advantages, and see how they make work easier. Through an introduction to compound machines, students begin to think critically about machine inventions and their pervasive roles in our lives. After learning about Rube Goldberg contraptions absurd inventions that complete simple tasks in complicated ways they evaluate the importance and usefulness of the many machines around them. Through the hands-on activities, students draw designs for contraptions that could move a circus elephant into a rail car, create a construction site ramp design by measuring different inclined planes and calculating the ideal vs. actual mechanical advantage of each, compare the theoretical and actual mechanical advantages of different pulley systems conceived to save a whale, build and test grape catapults made with popsicle sticks and rubber bands, and follow the steps of the engineering design process to design and build Rube Goldberg machines.

These activities support students as they conceptually develop a sense of how probability affects the outcome of games. Students will find that applying their knowledge of probability will help them win some of the games

We present the case of a 61-year-old male with a longstanding history of pituitary macro-prolactinoma medically treated with high dose cabergoline without significant reduction in tumor size. The pituitary lesion was first discovered more than 11 years prior to presentation and had been routinely monitored since that time with serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and hormone profile testing. Pre-operative MRI in July 2014 revealed an enlarged, remodeled sella and a pituitary macroadenoma measuring approximately 2 cm in greatest dimension (Figure 1). Pre-operative laboratory values from March 2015 showed no evidence for an active neuroendocrine tumor. Detailed serology included a prolactin level of 7.6 ng/mL (reference range, 2.1 - 17.7 ng/mL) and a growth hormone level of 0.07 ng/mL (reference range, 0.01 - 0.97 ng/mL). Cortisol, adrenocorticotropic, luteinizing, and follicle stimulating hormones were also within normal serologic range. The patient underwent endoscopic endonasal resection of the pituitary mass, and a gross total resection was achieved. Intraoperatively, the lesion was described as extremely gritty and nodular. Post-operatively, the patient remained asymptomatic for several months despite a slight increase in his prolactin level to 8.9 ng/mL and remains asymptomatic to date almost one year post surgery. His postoperative endocrinologic pituitary hormonal profile is unchanged from his preoperative levels.

Since 1992, Summit Mortgage has operated under the philosophy of putting people first. Although the company has grown into a premier national lender, the promise the Carter’s made to their customers on day one still exists. As CEO Robert Carter puts it, “Our job is to help people get the best home loan possible, at a competitive price, while taking care of them as if they were a member of our own family.” This simple yet vital core value isn’t limited to customers only.

Short Description:
Chemical Engineering Separations: A Handbook for Students is intended for use by undergraduate students who are taking a course in chemical engineering separations. The handbook assumes that students have taken one or two semesters of chemical engineering thermodynamics, one semester of heat and mass transfer, and one semester of computational methods for chemical engineering.

Long Description:
The purpose of this handbook is to introduce students to chemical engineering separations in a way that most closely aligns with what most entry-level chemical engineers will do in the workplace. Most newly hired chemical engineers will be responsible for monitoring and troubleshooting existing processes and proposing modifications to improve process performance. For this reason, we have written the handbook to emphasize how to optimize process conditions, how to retrofit an existing unit to meet a given separation objective while not exceeding operating capacity, or how to select the best existing or pre-fabricated unit to meet a separation objective while maintaining safe operation at a reasonable cost.

Trigonometry concepts such as Law of Sines and Cosines will be introduced. Students will then begin analytic geometry and calculus concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals. This class is important for any student planning to take a college algebra or college pre-calculus class.

This activity is about planetary rovers. Learners will simulate the challenges in communications that engineers face when driving a rover on Mars. They will particpate as part of a rover team to design and execute a series of commands that will guide a rover made of people through an obstacle course simulating the Martian surface. Students will learn the limitations of operating a planetary rover and problem solving solutions by using this simulation. The lesson models the engineering design process using the 5E instructional model and includes teacher notes, vocabulary, student journal and reading.

Walks the student through the creation of a prediction map using a very simple (fictitious) spatial planning and analysis scenario. Although the actual prediction "rules" for this scenario are not from a geoscience background, the GIS techniques practiced here can apply to geoscience prediction/analysis scenarios with more complex rules. The exercise mainly deals with vector geoprocessing ("map overlay") operations, such as buffering, union, dissolve, clip, but combines them with spatial joins and spatial queries. The results are presented as a map.

Project Laboratory in Mathematics is a course designed to give students a sense of what it's like to do mathematical research.
