Investigating the effect of engineering student's spatial ability and expertise on general complex problem solving
(Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus, 2021-04-26)
Spatial ability is attributed to success in STEM disciplines and is outlined as a component of general cognitive ability through the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model of human intelligence. Research in spatially orientated ...
Polarimetry and spectroscopy of the 'oxygen flaring' DQ Herculis-like nova: V5668 Sagittarii (2015).
(EDP Sciences, 2018-09-05)
Context. Classical novae are eruptions on the surface of a white dwarf in a binary system. The material ejected from the white dwarf surface generally forms an axisymmetric shell of gas and dust around the system. The ...
Framing the constructive alignment of design within technology subjects in general education.
(Springer, 2020-05-27)
Design is core element of general technology education internationally. While there is
a degree of contention with regards to its treatment, there is general consensus that the
inclusion of design in some form is important, ...
An exploration into the criteria used in assessing design activities with adaptive comparative judgment in technology education.
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-08)
The use of design assignments for teaching, learning, and assessment is considered a signature of technology education. However, there are difficulties in the valid and reliable assessment of features of quality within ...
Introducing PyCross: PyCloudy rendering of shape software for pseudo 3D ionisation modelling of nebulae.
(Elsevier, 2020-04-29)
Research into the processes of photoionised nebulae plays a significant part in our understanding of stellar evolution. It is extremely difficult to visually represent or model ionised nebula, requiring astronomers to ...
An assessment of the transparency of contemporary technology education research employing interview-based methodologies
(Springer, 2021-08-20)
A high level of transparency in reported research is critical for several reasons, such as
ensuring an acceptable level of trustworthiness and enabling replication. Transparency in
qualitative research permits the ...
Exploring the effects of immersive virtual reality environments on sensory perception of beef steaks and chocolate
(MDPI, 2021-05)
Virtual reality (VR) technology is emerging as a tool for simulating different eating environments to better understand consumer sensory response to food. This research explored the impact of different environmental contexts ...
Two new Nova Shells associated with V4362 Sagittarii and DO Aquilae
(Oxford Academic, 2020-09)
A classical nova is an eruption on the surface of a white dwarf in an accreting binary system. The material ejected from the white dwarf surface generally forms an axisymmetric shell. The shaping mechanisms of nova shells ...
First results from the REAL-time transient acquisition backend (REALTA) at the Irish LOFAR station
(ESO/EDP Sciences, 2021-10-28)
Modern radio interferometers such as the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) are capable of producing data at hundreds of gigabits to terabits per second. This high data rate makes the analysis of radio data cumbersome and ...
Using the Agile software development lifecycle to develop a standalone application for generating colour magnitude diagrams.
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Virtual observatories allow the means by which an astronomer is able to discover, access, and process data seamlessly, regardless of its physical location. However, steep learning curves are often required to become ...
