Influences on teachers' instructional practices in one elementary school
… There have been many attempts to reform and change the educational system over the last 90 years. Attempts at change have focused on programs, procedures, or policies; however, there has been very little lasting change in teachers' instructional practices despite the development and …

Development of a Numerical Solver for Phase-Change and Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media
… to understand the mechanisms of flow and phase-change in porous media to better control/increase the performance of those systems. In this work, we develop a CFD solver using the object-oriented OpenFOAM architecture that can simulate most of the relevant physics of flow and phase-change in …

Personality trait development and social investment in work
… years. Data were analyzed using two-wave latent change models. Results showed that conscientiousness and other personality traits were related to social investment at work. Additionally, evidence was found for a positive association between longitudinal change in social investment in work and …

A Unifying Framework for the Analysis of Continuous and Discontinuous Change
… modeling framework, called generalized latent change modeling, as a unifying approach to investigate diverse patterns of change from a stage-sequential perspective. Whereas stage theories were originally proposed to describe discontinuous characteristics of human development, it is shown that …

Montage As A Participatory System: Interactions with the Moving Image
… resistant to the dynamic throughputs and change models of real-time interaction. If the task is not to suspend but encourage disbelief as a condition in the user, how can this be approached as a design problem? In the attempt to build a series of design projects suggesting open …

Physiological tolerances of high temperatures in Fynbos birds: implications for climate change
Climate change is a reality. Numerous biological systems have already responded to changes in climate, with range shifts towards higher latitudes and altitudes being one of the most common responses to climate warming. Bioclimatic envelope modelling provides a useful method for predicting a …

Managing change: an investigation into readiness for change within the public sector in the UAE - the case of the Ministry of Interior (MOI)
… contributions to knowledge by examining how change is managed and to what extent employees at the Ministry of Interior in the UAE are ready to lead and implement change initiatives. The UAE has nowadays become synonymous with change. The fast growing pace of change is transforming the UAE …

Exploration of climate mediated decline in a critically endangered southern hemisphere conifer over the last 40 years / Annabelle J. Rogers
… aimed to assess whether contemporary climate change could be a driver in the recently documented tenfold decline of W. cedarbergensis in the last 40 years. By building distribution models using Maxent bioclimatic modelling for pre- and post- 1970’s point occurrence data, the distribution of …

An analysis of the implementation of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service's Performance Planning, Counseling, and Evaluation program using the Probability of Adoption of Change model
… to the nine Probability of Adoption of Change (PAC) model constructs. Level of implementation was operationally defined as the degree to which county directors implemented the many elements of the PPC&E program. The nine PAC model constructs included: advantage probability, championship, …

Organizational Change in Action: A Qualitative Case Study of USAir's Acquisition of Pacific Southwest Airlines
Five dominant theories of organizational change have emerged from the literature. Each of these models expressly expand on a singular and specific paradigm of how change can be viewed within organizations. The models of change are the micro-personal-therapeutic, meso-rational-managerial, …

Simulating Urban Landscape Transformation: Implications for Urban Wetlands at Multiple Scales
Urban landscape change simulation has received increasing attention in recent times. As a result, many studies have focused on various aspects of land change simulation, ranging from uncertainty of input data to model accuracy. While efforts have been put into improving many of the existing urban …

Detecting the influence of stakeholders' mental models on emergent collective awareness in instrumented teamwork workshops
The use of models to represent, investigate, and explain the world extends across disciplines, professions, and walks of life. From supporting learning in the classroom, to aiding organizational decision making, to influencing people’s daily lives by informing them about the weather, patterns of …

A model-based alarm processor for the assessment of protection systems performance
… of dynamically configurable protection device models for reuse on a multitude of different network connections and the modification of the GDE (General Diagnostic Engine) to identify the occurrence of missing alarms, previously not having been applied to data of this form. The approach taken …

Micro-Scale Simulation of Evaporation, Condensation and Transport in Porous Media
… of porous media is consideration of phase change phenomena. Mass and heat transfer equations have to be considered simultaneously to capture complexities involved in the evaporation and condensation processes. Therefore, a numerical scheme based on the Volume-of-Fluid method was implemented …
