The purpose of this study is to explore factors that affect exclusively physical, virtual and both a Virtual-Physical (VP) and Physical-Virtual (PV) sequence of manipulatives within Studio Physics environment.In this environment students actively work together Speaker brackets to learn through real world experimentation and simulation based activit
Fatigue cracks are one of the common failure types of key aircraft components, and they are the focus of prognostics and health management (PHM) systems.Monitoring and prediction of fatigue cracks show great application potential and economic benefit in shortening aircraft downtime, prolonging service life, and enhancing maintenance.However, the fa
Airborne wind energy systems (AWESs) represent a novel idea that aims to gather energy from stronger winds aloft while operating at altitudes above conventional wind turbines (WTs).For this study, we examined the wind resources at a height of 100 m available for traditional wind turbines with aerial wind energy technologies, in addition to the wind
The DNA molecule is exposed to a multitude of damaging agents that can compromise its integrity: single (SSB) and double strand breaks (DSB), intra- or inter-strand crosslinks, base loss or modification, etc.Many different DNA repair pathways coexist in the cell to ensure the stability of the DNA molecule.The nature of the DNA lesion will determine
Numerical Relativity is a multidisciplinary field including relativity, magneto-hydrodynamics, astrophysics Condom and computational methods, among others, with the aim of solving numerically highly-dynamical, strong-gravity scenarios where no other approximations are available.Here we describe some of the foundations of the field, starting from th
