Learning Object: Analysing the Short Stories of J G BallardMichelle Merritt
A Learning Object created in PPT where students can learn about the different texts (Subliminal Man, Chronopolis, Manhole 69 and Billenium) and how to write an analytical essay based on their understanding.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.
Student information management system project report ii.pdfKamal Acharya
Our project explains about the student management. This project mainly explains the various actions related to student details. This project shows some ease in adding, editing and deleting the student details. It also provides a less time consuming process for viewing, adding, editing and deleting the marks of the students.

CW RADAR, FMCW RADAR, FMCW ALTIMETER, AND THEIR PARAMETERSveerababupersonal22
It consists of cw radar and fmcw radar ,range measurement,if amplifier and fmcw altimeterThe CW radar operates using continuous wave transmission, while the FMCW radar employs frequency-modulated continuous wave technology. Range measurement is a crucial aspect of radar systems, providing information about the distance to a target. The IF amplifier plays a key role in signal processing, amplifying intermediate frequency signals for further analysis. The FMCW altimeter utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave technology to accurately measure altitude above a reference point.
Welcome to WIPAC Monthly the magazine brought to you by the LinkedIn Group Water Industry Process Automation & Control.
In this month's edition, along with this month's industry news to celebrate the 13 years since the group was created we have articles including
A case study of the used of Advanced Process Control at the Wastewater Treatment works at Lleida in Spain
A look back on an article on smart wastewater networks in order to see how the industry has measured up in the interim around the adoption of Digital Transformation in the Water Industry.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Saudi Arabia stands as a titan in the global energy landscape, renowned for its abundant oil and gas resources. It's the largest exporter of petroleum and holds some of the world's most significant reserves. Let's delve into the top 10 oil and gas projects shaping Saudi Arabia's energy future in 2024.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Understanding the Reading
Process
Read slowly and read often.
Struggle to make it comprehensible.
Hold confusing passages in “mental suspension.”
Read difficult texts two or three times.
Ask questions, express disagreement, link text with other
readings and personal experience.
3. +
Adjust Reading Strategies for
Different Purposes
Reading process varies depending on the purpose.
Adjust reading speed.
Know the difference between reading for gist, reading for main
ideas, reading for detail, and reading for inference and
application.

Perceiving the Structure of an
Argument as you Read
“chunk” material into discreet parts with describable functions.
Examples:
“This part is giving evidence for a new reason”
“This part maps out an upcoming section”
“This part summarizes an opposing view”
Don’t highlight everything---think of the text as a hierarchical
structure.
5. +
Difficulty in Assimilating the
Unfamiliar
Try walking in someone else’s shoes.
Don’t translate the text into ideas that you are comfortable with.
Understand that “the more unfamiliar or more threatening a
new idea is, the more students transform it into something from
their own psychological neighborhoods.” (pp. 135)

Difficulty in Appreciating a Text’s
Rhetorical Context
Recognize the “conversation” the text belongs
to.
Understand what question is being addressed
and why the author was troubled by it.
Recognize the historical context.
Recognize political, ideological biases of
newspapers, magazines, television networks.
Recognize the varying degrees of scholarly
prestige of different journals and presses.
Consider the reputation of the author.

Difficulty Seeing Yourself in
Conversation with the Author
Inexperienced readers regard texts as sources of inert
information rather than as arguments intended to change their
views of something.
Play dual roles:
1) an open-minded believer who can succumb to the text’s power.
2) a skeptical doubter who can find weaknesses in a text.
8. +
Cultural literacy assumed by the
text’s author
Understand cultural codes of the text (background
information, allusions, common knowledge that the author
assumed that the reading audience would know).

Inadequate Vocabulary
Use a dictionary.
Understand context.
Develop an ear for irony and humor.
Define technical terms.
Understand that language evolves and that the meaning of
words changes over time.

Difficulty in Tracking Complex
Syntax
Understand sentence structure of primary sources and
scholarly articles. These differ from anthologies in significant
ways.
Read out loud and practice inflection; practice isolating
grammatical units; and isolating main clauses from subordinate
clauses and phrases.

Difficulty in Adjusting Reading Strategies
to the Varieties of Academic Discourse
Recognize prose styles, discourse structures, and
argumentative strategies differ from one discipline to the next
and from one historical period to the next.
