Inquiry into the interlocution of students engaged with mathematics: appreciating links between research and practice
No full textFor either to be useful, links between research and practice are critical. Just as important are connections between the practice of students engaged in mathematical activity and research that seeks to understand that practice. This research report explores lessons that researchers and practitioners can learn from an inquiry into the interlocution of students working collaboratively in small groups when engaged in talking and listening to each other. We use the term interlocution to denote discursive practices of learners in conversational exchanges. Questions that motivate this research included the following. What discursive practices do interlocutors employ as they work collaboratively to understand and resolve mathematical tasks? How do these practices influence the growth of their mathematical ideas? In what ways do their discursive practices help them move from a contextualized, situated task to generalize the task or their solution? Do students' discursive practices assist them to connect and generalize ideas from a new problem to others on which they have worked?Powell, A. B., & Maher, C. A. (2002).

Modeling and Control of Electrostatically Actuated RF-MEMS Switches
No full textA Master of Science thesis in Mechanical Engineering by Omar A. H. Awad entitled, "Modeling and Control of Electrostatically Actuated RF- MEMS Switches," submitted in February 2014. Thesis advisor is Dr. Ameen El Sinawi and co-advisors are Dr. Maher Bakri-Kassem and Dr. Taha Landolsi. Available are both soft and hard copies of the thesis.This work presents a novel approach to modeling and control of an RF- MEMS switch. The model presented in this work is comprehensive and generic in nature such that it takes into account the effect of squeeze film damping, impact force and electrostatic force effects on the dynamic behavior of the switch during pull-in and release of its membrane. This model makes it adaptable to any similar switch regardless of the form and/or dimensions. Simulation results of the switch dynamics is validated against experimental data for an identical switch. Model response to electrostatic voltage shows very good agreement with experiments. The proposed model is then used to construct a feedback controller capable of improving response parameters of the membrane during operation. Due to micro-dimensions of the switch, real time displacement measurement of the membrane is not readily available. Therefore, the proposed controller utilizes measurement of switch capacitors current as a platform for real time estimates of the membrane position. Membrane Current measurement was not available for control purposes due to the lack of the fabricated RF MEMS switch. Consequently, approximate model for current-displacement relationship is constructed from numerical solution of the nonlinear model data and system identification techniques using Simulink.College of EngineeringDepartment of Mechanical EngineeringMaster of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME
Sr. Margaret Peg Maher
No full textIn this segment, Sr. Margaret Peg Maher discusses the influence the Sisters of Saint Francis had on her early life growing up in Saint Bernard in the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio. She had Sisters of Saint Francis for teachers from grade school through high school and two aunts that were Sisters of Saint Francis. When she was a baby she was brought to the Convent at Oldenburg and offered to God by her Aunt Rose. Sr. Maher describes how it was only “natural to be a part of the community.” After teaching two years of grade school, Sr. Maher taught 36 years of high school Biology at Catholic high schools in Cincinnati. She offers tips on classroom management and unique assignments. After her career in teaching, Sr. Maher became a member of the Council of Religious Sisters for the Convent at Oldenburg. She shares how her leadership was shaped by a concerned for the growth and development of the sisters—physically, spiritually, and emotionally—and the importance of teamwork and the Holy Spirit guiding all of their decisions. Sr. Maher describes her new role as manager of Michaela Farm at the convent in Oldenburg, where she sees emerging ministries of religious sisters taking care of the “gifts of creation” and modeling “natural farming” that is gentle to the earth, compassionate towards the animals, and produces a healthy product. Sr. Maher concludes her oral history by emphasizing the important role nature plays in her prayer life and the influence author Thomas Berry has had on her spirituality.https://mushare.marian.edu/wrp/1027/thumbnail.jp

song. Song have become ordinary thing to be heard at home or in
public places. This research aims to find out : 1) what are the types of

research used Miles and Huberman procedure, namely data reduction,
data display and conclusion drawing/ verification. The researcher use
validator to validity the data.
The result of this research were the researcher found that there are
three types of connotative meaning based on J.N. Hook Theory is a
positive, negative and neutral connotation in song lyrics "Forgive Me"
Album by Maher Zain. The researcher found twenty three Forgive me
song lyrics that contain connotative meanings including six positive
connotations , eleven neutral connotations , and six negative
connotations. From the explanation above, it can be concluded that the
most common type of Connotative Meaning that found in five Song
Lyrics "Forgive Me" Album by Maher Zain is neutral connotation.
Neutral connotation is most widely used in the lyrics of the song to
replace the actual meaning to make it more interesting and easier to
understand. From this analysis, the researcher found the message that
the author wanted to convey. there are one song about heartfelt
expression of love and gratitude towards Allah (God). the one song
