Comparative Analysis of Students’ Perceptions of Programming Puzzles: Parson’s and Wordle-Like
No full textPuzzles are an excellent tool for learning computer science and programming, fostering increased interest, engagement, and motivation among students, as well as developing logical, critical, and computational thinking. Among beginner programmers, Parson’s Programming Puzzles are quite popular, aimed at mastering the basic syntactic and logical constructs of programming languages. However, as students’ skills grow, their interest in Parson’s puzzles may decline. In such cases, it is necessary to use other types of puzzles. Word puzzles contribute to the development of vocabulary, working memory, and other cognitive abilities, making them useful supplements to the learning process. We adapted the game “Wordle” and created Wordle-like Programming Puzzles. The study focuses on a comparative analysis of students’ perception of Wordle-like Programming Puzzles and Parson’s Programming Puzzles in terms of interest, difficulty, and usefulness. The experiment was conducted among first-year university students studying the Python programming language. We identified four clusters, within each of which we analyzed the interest, difficulty, and perceived usefulness of puzzles, as well as the students’ level of preparation and current academic performance. The main contribution of the work is a comparative analysis demonstrating the complementary nature of the two puzzle types: Parson’s Puzzles generated greater interest among students with lower skill levels, while Wordle-like Puzzles were preferred by more advanced students. We also noted that in clusters where there is a high interest in Wordle-like Puzzles, the level of interest in Parson’s Puzzles is generally low, and vice versa. Overall, the perception scores for Wordle-like Puzzles were higher than those for Parson’s Puzzles. This allows us to recommend the sequential or parallel use of these tools to maintain engagement at different stages of learning. We also present and evaluate the implementation of Wordle-like Programming Puzzles as a chatbot for Telegram

Another version of the image appears on page 6 of the July 16, 1976, issue of The University Daily newspaper with the caption "Parson signs - Diane Parson, signing an athletic letter of intent, becomes the first black woman in Tech history to receive an athletic scholarship. Eighteen-year-old Miss Parson is a native of Lubbock, and will represent Tech in track next season. Jeannine McHaney, director of the university women's athletic program, looks on."
Numerical modelling of Non-Transform Discontinuity geometry: Implication for ridge structure, volcano-tectonic fabric development and hydrothermal activity at segment ends.
No full textOcean ridge discontinuities partition and offset spreading centres at a range of scales. Large scale discontinuities (10's–100's km) are synonymous with first-order transform faults, which have well defined linear fault zone valleys. In contrast, Non-Transform Discontinuities (NTDs) are diffuse, smaller scale offsets (0 to b20 km), characterised by central basins or topographic highs. The geometry of NTD offsets can be categorised by the sense of offset, either right-stepping or left-stepping, and by the relative positions of the segment tips. The segment tip configurations include under-lapping, over-lapping or simple across-axis jumps or stepping in the ridge axis. In this study finite difference software is used to model segment geometry at a slow-spreading ridge under a normal tensile-stress within a homogeneous and isotropic medium. Along- and across-axis segment separations were varied incrementally for left- and right-stepping senses. The results show that the ratio of along-axis to across-axis segment tip separation is a dominant control of stress field rotation within an NTD. Features which most clearly show rotation within an NTD include basins and tectonically controlled constructional ridges. The obliquity of these features along with measurements of the surrounding fault fabrics are used as a way of observing and determining stress rotations within NTDs along the Central Indian Ridge (CIR). These rotations were used to obtain segment geometries from models where the central tensor showed an equivalentrotation. The results show that geometry has a profound effect on stress field rotation under which large- and small-scale volcanotectonic fabrics form. In addition, a shortfall of the predicted model tip relative to interpreted positions, along with morphology and observation of the ridge fabrics at the terminations to some segments, suggests the existence of a zone, broadly analogous to theprocess zone observed in fracture mechanics, which we call a damage zone. Given the criteria for the promotion of hydrothermal circulation, this damage zone would have a greater potential for hosting hydrothermal activity.<br/
RRS "Charles Darwin" Cruise 169, 17 Feb-19 Mar 2005. Hydrothermal exploration of the southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge
No full textThe principal objective of this cruise was to identify the first site or sites of high temperature hydrothermal venting anywhere on the southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, to characterize their geological setting, preliminary chemical nature and to identify, where possible, the nature of any vent-endemic species that might inhabit such vents to investigate whether this ridge system might represent a new biogeographic province. Initially we used the TOBI deep-tow sidescan system equipped with a CTD system and optical backscatter sensors, together with Miniature Autonomous Plume Recorders (MAPRs) to identify two new sites in which diagnostic chemically- and particle-laden plumes indicated the presence of high-temperature hydrothermal venting. Subsequently, we used the ABE autonomous underwater vehicle to (1) locate the core of one of these hydrothermal plumes, (2) obtain a detailed map of the underlying seafloor and (3) photograph three discrete hydrothermal sites (2 black-smoker systems, 1 diffuse-flow) and their associated ecosystems. A series of CTD stations were occupied for water column investigations and a number of rock-coring and dredging stations were also undertaken to provide groundtruthing of sidescan sonar images of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge seafloor
Liverworts Flora of Parson's valley, Nilgiri hills (Western Ghats), South India
No full textAbstract. Parson's valley is an area explored for the first time in Indian Bryology; it is situated in Nilgiri hills (Western Ghats). The region is very conducive for the growth of liverworts and it is evident by the present study of recent collections from this area in which 27 taxa (under 12 genera and 5 families) of liverworts have been recorded, of which few are new to Nilgiri hills as well as south India
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
