Teaching Matters Most

Teaching Matters Most

McCann Thomas M.; Jones Alan C.; Aronoff Gail A.

Corwin Press Inc
2012
nidottu
In Teaching Matters Most, Thomas McCann, Alan C. Jones, and Gail Aronoff make the case that the single most important factor in continuous school improvement is the quality of instruction in schools. Unlike other books that stop at evaluating teachers and instruction, these authors argue that school leaders must work to grow the instructional capacities within their schools. To meet this goal, they offer school leaders a three-step process that involves:(1) envisioning what good teaching looks like (2) measuring the quality of current instruction against this standard, and (3) working relentlessly to move the quality of instruction closer and closer to the ideal.

Modern Image Quality Assessment

Modern Image Quality Assessment

Zhou Wang; Alan C. Bovik

Springer International Publishing AG
2007
nidottu
This Lecture book is about objective image quality assessment—where the aim is to provide computational models that can automatically predict perceptual image quality. The early years of the 21st century have witnessed a tremendous growth in the use of digital images as a means for representing and communicating information. A considerable percentage of this literature is devoted to methods for improving the appearance of images, or for maintaining the appearance of images that are processed. Nevertheless, the quality of digital images, processed or otherwise, is rarely perfect. Images are subject to distortions during acquisition, compression, transmission, processing, and reproduction. To maintain, control, and enhance the quality of images, it is important for image acquisition, management, communication, and processing systems to be able to identify and quantify image quality degradations. The goals of this book are as follows; a) to introduce the fundamentals of image quality assessment, and to explain the relevant engineering problems, b) to give a broad treatment of the current state-of-the-art in image quality assessment, by describing leading algorithms that address these engineering problems, and c) to provide new directions for future research, by introducing recent models and paradigms that significantly differ from those used in the past. The book is written to be accessible to university students curious about the state-of-the-art of image quality assessment, expert industrial R&D engineers seeking to implement image/video quality assessment systems for specific applications, and academic theorists interested in developing new algorithms for image quality assessment or using existing algorithms to design or optimize other image processing applications.

Disease in Populations in Transition

Disease in Populations in Transition

George J. Armelagos; Alan C. Swedlund

Praeger Publishers Inc
1990
sidottu
Societies in transition are often faced with new settings and/or new diseases that require a response in order for the affected group to thrive or survive. A lack of effective response by a transitional population to a new pathogen can lead to the group's disintegration. A stark example of this, historically, is the decline of Native American civilizations with the arrival of European colonists in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The transitional response mechanism has been a neglected topic in anthropology until the publication of this book. In a broad selection of nineteen essays by distinguished researchers, the epidemiology and health status of prehistoric, historical, and present day populations in transition are thoroughly explored.Different models--biomedical, ethnomedical, ecological, and politicoeconomic--are used to illustrate the effects of transition on the health of human populations throughout the world. Swedlund and Armelagos have compiled and arranged these essays into three parts: genetic and evolutionary perspectives; infectious disease and nutrition in temporal perspective; and social epidemiology. Some of the topics studied in the essays include: disease and evolution in Amerindian populations; health and disease in prehistoric transitional peoples; mortality and morbidity consequences of nutritional variation in early child growth; and social support and mortality in post-transition populations. This insightful book will provide a vital perspective for medical anthropologists, development specialists, epidemiologists, and health professionals, as well as for graduate students in related course areas.

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
nidottu
The ninth edition of Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education and Exercise Science offers students in the various fields of kinesiology a clear and practical guide to best practice for measurement and evaluation in school- and nonschool-based physical activity programs. Understanding and applying measurement and evaluation are critical to any activity-based program. This textbook emphasizes the link between theory and practice of measurement and evaluation in activity settings. This textbook offers a full range of measurement and evaluation topics, such as current trends in measurement and evaluation, program development, basic statistics, alternative assessments, assessment strategies of the three learning domains and health-related fitness, grading, and self-evaluation. This book emphasizes that measurement and evaluation activities should be clearly connected with school and nonschool program goals. The assessment strategies in this textbook provide the foundation for evaluating and improving activity-based programs. Without these strategies, no program can achieve and maintain excellence. Thus, measurement and evaluation activities are integral to the development and delivery of quality, effective programs. This textbook is a complete resource for instructors. It is also an essential textbook for any student in a measurement and evaluation class as part of a degree program in physical education, exercise science, or kinesiology. This textbook is also a valuable resource for current practitioners seeking to inform their professional practice. Each chapter features learning aids, such as objectives, key terms, practical applications, and review questions, while an appendix offers in-depth Excel assignments. An instructor manual, lecture slides, and a test bank are included in the supplemental materials.

Mechatronics and Intelligent Systems for Off-road Vehicles

Mechatronics and Intelligent Systems for Off-road Vehicles

Francisco Rovira Más; Qin Zhang; Alan C. Hansen

Springer London Ltd
2014
nidottu
Rapid developments in electronics over the past two decades have induced a move from purely mechanical vehicles to mechatronics design. Recent advances in computing, sensors, and information technology are pushing mobile equipment design to incorporate higher levels of automation under the novel concept of intelligent vehicles. Mechatronics and Intelligent Systems for Off-road Vehicles introduces this concept, and provides an overview of recent applications and future approaches within this field. Several case studies present real examples of vehicles designed to navigate in off-road environments typically encountered by agriculture, forestry, and construction machines. The examples analyzed describe and illustrate key features for agricultural robotics, such as automatic steering, safeguarding, mapping, and precision agriculture applications. The eight chapters include numerous figures, each designed to improve the reader’s comprehension of subjects such as: • automatic steering systems; • navigation systems; • vehicle architecture; • image processing and vision; and • three-dimensional perception and localization. Mechatronics and Intelligent Systems for Off-road Vehicles will be of great interest to professional engineers and researchers in vehicle automation, robotics, and the application of artificial intelligence to mobile equipment; as well as to graduate students of mechanical, electrical, and agricultural engineering.
