The definitive version was published in Radiocarbon 51 (2009): 1111-1150.The IntCal04 and Marine04 radiocarbon calibration curves have been updated from 12 cal kBP (cal kBP is
here defined as thousands of calibrated years before AD 1950), and extended to 50 cal kBP, utilizing newly available data sets
that meet the IntCal Working Group criteria for pristine corals and other carbonates and for quantification of uncertainty in
both the 14C and calendar timescales as established in 2002. No change was made to the curves from 0–12 cal kBP. The curves
were constructed using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) implementation of the random walk model used for IntCal04
and Marine04. The new curves were ratified at the 20th International Radiocarbon Conference in June 2009 and are available
in the Supplemental Material at www.radiocarbon.org.We would like to acknowledge support for this project from the UK Natural Environment Research

Computer Aided Learning (CAL) For Malaysian O'Level Mathematics Curriculum (CALMOMC)
No full textThis project is about a CAL system on Malaysian O’Level Mathematics Curriculum (CALMOMC). The first chapter simply discusses the era of electronic classroom in Malaysia. The second chapter then, reports about the Malaysian Mathematics Curriculum, its objectives and the Education Philosophy. The third chapter covers the importance and benefits of CAL. There is also a discussion on traditional teaching methods and CAL VS the traditional methods. The report then discusses the Author-ware package in details. Why Authorware is chosen, steps to produce a program, Author-ware VS Other CAL Oriented Languages and the characteristics of a CAL language are also covered. There is also a chapter that views the proposed system in general. This chapter contains the system structure, system flowcharts, user manual and system screens. In order to measure the success of the system, an evaluation was carried out. The results of the evaluation are discussed in chapter six. Lastly, conclusion and suggestions for future improvements are in chapter seven
The Chanterelle: The Magazine of Environmental Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt, 2023-2024
No full textThe Chanterelle showcases the written work of Environmental Studies majors at Cal Poly Humboldt. Each contributing author enrolled in “ENST 395W: Research & Analysis for Environmental Studies” during the 2023-2024 academic year. While each student chose their own topic, they were prompted to write for a public audience. Specifically, they were encouraged to write for a friend, co-worker, roommate, sibling, or any other family member. Our intended audience in this magazine is thus public. We hope you enjoy this collective project. It is the outcome of course readings, research, and peer edits

Abstract Generative CAL and courseware abstraction
No full textCourseware abstraction is an approach to CAL whereby the lesson author creates a general parameterised CAL lesson that is then applied to many concrete examples. This approach has the following advantages: • it provides a powerful framework within which to adapt tuition to a student’s knowledge and aptitude; • it encourages the development of detailed treatments of the subject matter; • it reduces the cost of lesson development as a ratio to student lesson time; and • it enables large numbers of examples to be made available for individual students. Generative CAL is an example of courseware abstraction. It is argued that the advantages of generative CAL do not arise directly from the generation of the examples to be examined but rather can be directly attributed to the use of courseware abstraction
Letter from [author unknown] to John Muir, 1895 Dec 23.
No full textSomers, Dec. 23rd. 1895.Mr. John Muir,Your book “The Mountains of California” has given such pleasure to one reader that she wishes to express gratitude to the author. My trip was a limited one and taken many years ago, but so far as ray experience went, your book confirms and revives my impressions. It was read with keen enjoyment and sympathy and many another will follow its pages with the same zest. The lines were not inspired by the book, but perhaps they will be in touch with it. My name has no significance and so it is not signed, but perhaps it will gratify you to know that your descriptions have brought some of the glories you have seen to an obscure person in an obscure village.Merced.Merced, Merced, thy crystal waveO\u27er granite sands doth flow, Whereon the vagrant sunbeams weaveA net of gold below.Thy banks are daintily besetWith ferns and grasses fine And beds of snowy violetThe tangled roots entwine.The stately rocks (E1 CapitanCathedral, Brothers Three) Within thy bosom hold divanIn tranquil majesty.Unaltered \u27neath the flowing tideThose sharp reflections dwell; E\u27en so while busy lustrums glideEndures thy beauty\u27s spell.[Envelope containing letter inscribed, in Muir\u27s handwriting, “Miss No Name, Somers, Cal.”]02054https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/25216/thumbnail.jp
