Parallel Genetic Algorithms for University Scheduling ProblemIJECEIAES
University scheduling timetabling problem, falls into NP hard problems. Re-searchers have tried with many techniques to find the most suitable and fastest way for solving the problem. With the emergence of multi-core systems, the parallel implementation was considered for finding the solution. Our approaches attempt to combine several techniques in two algorithms: coarse grained algorithm and multi thread tournament algorithm. The results obtained from two algorithms are compared, using an algorithm evaluation function. Considering execution time, the coarse grained algorithm performed twice better than the multi thread algorithm.
An Experimental Setup for Teaching Newton's Law of Cooling inventionjournals
When differential equations are presented in most of Mexican universities mathematics courses, it is common that students have some problems identifying relationship between these equations and real world. In this work an experimental setup for teaching the most important features of Newton's law of cooling is presented. A simple electronic circuit is implemented in order to let the students contrast the solution of the linear differential equation that characterizes the phenomenon with results obtained in circuit measurements. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experimental and control groups are set

1. XMSS LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE: Using ICT in Teaching and Learning
SUBJECT AREA: PHYSICS GRADE LEVEL: SEC 3 PURE PHYSICS
Name of Teacher: YEO AI CHIN
LESSON TITLE: GAS LAW TIME ALLOTTED: 50 MINUTES
LESSON DESCRIPTION: (Write a concise description of what occurs in this lesson.)
In this lesson, the students….
are required to log in to XMOOGLE and access an interactive java applet on Gas Laws to learn about the relationship
between pressure, volume and temperature of gas in a sealed system.
Students are to work individually at computer stations in the Computer Lab and complete a report with guided
questions.
The report are to be handed in at the end of the lesson.
CLASSROOM LAYOUT AND GROUPING OF STUDENTS:
(Where will the learning take place? How will the room be organized with the computers? How will the students be
grouped (class group, individuals, pairs, small groups, etc…)
Learning will take place in a Computer Lab where students work individually.
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES:
(Identification of the specific learning outcomes expected to happen based on Competency Standards.)
Recall and explain the following relationships using the kinetic model
(stating of the corresponding gas laws is not required):
• A change in pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume is caused by a change in temperature
of the gas
• A change in volume occupied by a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure is caused by a change in
temperature of the gas
• A change in pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is caused by a change in volume
of the gas

STUDENT’S PRESENT LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE AND KNOWLEDGE:
( Do the students have the adequate knowledge to complete the lesson successfully? What pre-requisite skills must
the students have to complete the lesson content? Include technology skills.)
• Use Kinetic Theory to describe the molecular structure of solids, liquids and gases, relating
their properties to the forces and distances between the molecules and to the motion of the
molecules
• Infer from Brownian Motion experiment as the evidence for the movement of molecules
4. XMSS LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE: Using ICT in Teaching and Learning
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES:
1. Motivation:
Explain the importance of the lesson to motivate the student. Relate lesson to previous lesson or real-life
situation.
Students are required to visualize the effect on movement of gas particles in a sealed system when variables
of the gas like pressure, temperature and volume changes. The use of java applets aids visuslisation.
2. Activities: (The sequential activities to happen in this lesson. It describes the teaching method to employ in
learning the lesson.)
10 mins:
-Introduce aims of lesson
-Recall and explain the following relationships using the kinetic model
(stating of the corresponding gas laws is not required):
• A change in pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume is caused by a change in temperature
of the gas
• A change in volume occupied by a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure is caused by a change in
temperature of the gas
• A change in pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is caused by a change in volume
of the gas
-Students log in to Xmoogle.
-Students download Activity sheets
40 mins:
-Students complete Activity sheet 1 and 2
3. Closure:
Summary of the lesson and future lesson.
10 mins:
-Discuss with class the relationship of the Gas Laws

SUPPLEMENTAL ACTIVITIES:
1. Additional activities to expand the lesson
2. Remediation activities for the student needing more instruction and practices
3. Assignments
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION:
How will you measure the student’s success? Formally or informally? Formal evaluation of student work requires that
a grade is taken while informal might be monitoring of work, or class discussion. This section should contain a
description of the assessment process, the criteria for achievement, and performance levels. The criteria should
directly align to objectives and instruction. Describe your plan for providing feedback to your students.
Formal assessment with a quiz on Gas Laws relationships and calculations.
