| lecture tutorials for earth science answers: Pre-histories and Afterlives Anna Holland, Richard Scholar, 2009 If the past is indeed a foreign country, then how can we make sense of its richness and difference without approaching it on our terms alone? 'Pre-histories' and 'afterlives', critical methods that have emerged in recent work by Terence Cave, offer new ways of shaping the stories we tell of the past and the analyses we offer. In this volume, distinguished contributors engage in a dialogue with these two new critical methods, exploring their uses in a range of contexts, disciplines, languages and periods, ranging from medieval mysticism, through Montaigne and Diderot, to the present day. --Book Jacket. |

| lecture tutorials for earth science answers: Tutorial Distance Learning Alfred Bork, Sigrun Gunnarsdottir, 2012-12-06 Learning is a critical worldwide problem for humans, essential to create a peaceful and happy world. We have serious problems in learning in both wealthy and poor areas. New approaches to learning are needed, as the current system may not rise to the new challenges. This book proposes a new strategy for learning, worldwide and for all ages of students. Computer-based distance learning would be the major delivery mechanism, with very large numbers of students. The very frequent interactions between the student and the computer would be like that with a skilled human teacher. These interactions would take place in the student's native language, in both directions. A typical interaction would be a question to a student, and a free-form student response. Both voice and keyboard student input would be possible. The learning programs would work with each student until mastery is achieved, adapting to the needs of each. Students would be active learners. The book begins with the problems and goals of learning. It considers possible forms of distance learning, looking at the variables involved, current examples of distance learning, and possible future forms including examples from science fiction. It then investigates student interactions, considering both frequency of interactions and the quality of each interaction. Programs developed in the Educational Technology Center at the University of California, Irvine, illustrate the critical idea of tutorial learning with computers. Production of tutorial learning material and costs for a student hour of learning is discussed. The book ends with suggestions for future progress. Current hardware and software is fully adequate for the tasks described. Development of all required learning units is a major activity. After this development, both better quality of learning and lower costs are very likely. Further experimental work is essential to understand the possibilities. |

| lecture tutorials for earth science answers: The Joy of Search Daniel M. Russell, 2023-06-06 How to be a great online searcher, demonstrated with step-by-step searches for answers to a series of intriguing questions (for example, “Is that plant poisonous?”). We all know how to look up something online by typing words into a search engine. We do this so often that we have made the most famous search engine a verb: we Google it—“Japan population” or “Nobel Peace Prize” or “poison ivy” or whatever we want to know. But knowing how to Google something doesn't make us search experts; there's much more we can do to access the massive collective knowledge available online. In The Joy of Search, Daniel Russell shows us how to be great online researchers. We don't have to be computer geeks or a scholar searching out obscure facts; we just need to know some basic methods. Russell demonstrates these methods with step-by-step searches for answers to a series of intriguing questions—from “what is the wrong side of a towel?” to “what is the most likely way you will die?” Along the way, readers will discover essential tools for effective online searches—and learn some fascinating facts and interesting stories. Russell explains how to frame search queries so they will yield information and describes the best ways to use such resources as Google Earth, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia. He shows when to put search terms in double quotes, how to use the operator (*), why metadata is important, and how to triangulate information from multiple sources. By the end of this engaging journey of discovering, readers will have the definitive answer to why the best online searches involve more than typing a few words into Google. |
| lecture tutorials for earth science answers: Foundations of Astronomy Michael A. Seeds, 1999-07-13 Organizationally, the text takes a stars-first approach. Mike Seeds teaches astronomy not just by presenting facts, but by building a conceptual framework and then letting the facts fit into that framework. Seeds uses astronomy to show how science works and how physics prescribes the universe. In learning these concepts, students will see physics not as a set of laws to be memorized, but as a set of powerful tools that help them understand the universe in which they live. |

Towfiqul Islam, Alban Kuriqi, Shakeel Ahmad Bhat, Ahmed Elbeltagi, 2025-09-17 Erosion control is a priority in the agriculture, construction, and conservation industries, as well as in land development applications. The everyday processes involved in these industries can often result in erosion and have a significant adverse impact on the surrounding ecology. These harmful impacts can be minimized by erosion control. This new book explores the erosion concerns and solutions for dealing with them. It addresses the impact and effects of changing land use and land cover on soil erosion and methods of assessing erosion, as well as ways to control different types of erosion. The use of models such as the WEPP model for estimating runoff and sediment yield, along with models to estimate runoff production patterns and soil erosion hazards are detailed. The book also discusses artificial neural networks and machine learning techniques (random forest), remote sensing data, and GIS for mapping soil erosion. |
