Survival Engineering and the Game of Knowledge: A Ludic Form of Teaching and Learning in Engineering
(The Future of Higher Education in the Middle East and Africa, 03/27/2018)Within the engineering pedagogy, it must be remembered that students learn in many different ways: seeing, hearing, thinking, acting, drawing analogies, and building mathematical models in the area of science and technology. ... -
Project-based learning and use of the CDIO Syllabus for geology course assessment
(2014-07-06)This study provides an overview of the development of hard and soft skills from project-based curriculum planning, and suggests ways to evaluate them in the context of engineering education and their importance in the ... -
The Balance Score Card for the Design and Validation Instrumens to Measure the Academic Teachers´s Achievement and Performance
(2012-07-04)The evaluation of faculty work is critical for the university accreditation. Moreover, particularly sensitive to this related tendency of faculty work evaluation; it is necessary to go beyond the knowledge factor and ... -

Cuadro de mando integral para el diseño y validación de instrumentos para valorar el desempeño académico de docentes
(2009-12-22)La valoración de la labor docente es un pilar de la acreditación universitaria. En un momento, particularmente sensible relacionado a esta tendencia global y a la imagen que emerge de las diferentes unidades académicas y ... -
Remoção de íons de metais pesados com bentonitas modificadas
(2001-06-23)O presente trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de um material sorvente a partir de bentonitas brasileiras modificadas quimicamente com o objetivo de aumentar sua capacidade de sorção de metais pesados e seu valor agregado. ... -
Adsorption of Cu ions onto a 1.10 phenanthroline-grafted Brazilian bentonite
(2003-02-01)The grafting, by chemical adsorption, of molecular 1.10-phenanthroline (OP) onto some Brazilian bentonite (montmorillonites) was studied to improve their adsorptive capacities to remove Cu ions from synthetic wastewater. ... -
Advances in the adsorptive particulate flotation process
(09/18/2003)The removal of contaminants from liquid effluents by the adsorptive particulate flotation (APF) process, including new adsorbents and flotation devices, are reported. Herein, contaminants are adsorbed (and/or absorbed) ... -
Experimental research on the effects of water application on greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle feedlots
(2014-04-30)The effect of water application (e.g., through rainfall or sprinkler system) on emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2), from pen surfaces of open-lot beef ... -
Nitrous Oxide Fluxes from a Commercial Beef Cattle Feedlot in Kansas
(2014-03-10)Emission of greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide (N2O), from open beef cattle feedlots is becoming an environmental concern; however, research measuring emission rates of N2O from open beef cattle feedlots has been ... -

Remote sensing of temperature changes in Panama canal watershed from landsat
(2010-09)La temperatura de superficie es un factor central, como variable de control en los estudios de cambio climático, balance de calor y modelos climáticos. El conocimiento de la temperatura de superficie es importante para ... -
Numerical study of inherent deformation produced in thick plates through bending by line heating
(2006-06)In ship building, line-heating is widely employed as an effective method to form steel plate with complex 3-dimensional carved geometries. However the plate bending by line heating is strongly dependent on skills. To ... -
Influential factors affecting inherent deformation during plate forming by line hating (Report 1) - the effect of plate size and edge effect
(2007-09)The authors aim to propose an accurate and practical method to predict the deformation of actual plates of large size such as those used in shipbuilding. This method is to be used to improve the accuracy of an automatic ... -
Morphological Characterization of Brazilian Organ Clays Using AFM and SEM Studies
(2013-05)A combination of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) techniques was used to characterise the morphology of Brazilian montmorillonites before and after intercalation of some organic compounds. ... -
