Dissect Your Dinner; Student Text
Ellen Johnston McHenry
Ellen McHenry's Basement Workshop
2022
nidottu
This is the student text portion of the curriculum "Dissect Your Dinner" for ages 10 to 16. This student text is included in the full curricula book, "Dissect Your Dinner." The student text is offered separately for teachers and parents who are teaching multiple students and would like each student to have their own copy of the text. The text has six chapters that correspond to the progress of a meal: beverages and condiments, appetizers, salad, main course, dessert. In each chapter we find out what is in each food, right down to the molecular level. All standard food chemistry topics are covered at some point in the book, but perhaps not in the order that other food chemistry texts do. The topics are covered as we come to them in the imaginary meal presented in the text.
This is a complete curriculum about food chemistry for ages 10 to 16. The first half of the book (130 pages) is the student text which gives all the information needed. The text is lively and includes some cartoons and whimsical humor while still providing a high level of content that is suitable even for high school students. The text is organized around the theme of dissecting a meal down to its molecular components. We learn about all the standard topics of food chemistry as we look in depth at each food: water, salt, sugar, milk, butter, cheese, bread, meat, beans, potatoes, plant-based meat, eggs, gelatins, meringue, chocolate, sweeteners. There is also a short history of the discovery of vitamins, plus explanations of saturated and unsaturated fats, trans and cis fats, omega-3s, triglycerides, saccharides, enzymes, and more. The second half of the book is the teacher's section which provides suggestions for labs, experiments, cooking activities, crafts, and games.
Directed Motivational Currents and Language Education

Directed motivational currents (DMCs) are goal-directed motivational surges in pursuit of a much-desired personal outcome. This book introduces the reader to cutting-edge theory and research in second language learner motivation and presents empirical research which investigates DMCs in the context of language learning. The studies explore the wider relevance of DMC theory from participants recruited worldwide, answering questions such as how many (and which) participants reported having experienced DMCs and what emerged as common triggers initiating such experiences. The studies also discuss the pedagogical implications of DMC theory, investigating whether it is possible to design and implement a project (specifically, a project ‘with DMC potential’) in such a way that it may be able to purposefully facilitate a group-DMC with learners in a second language classroom. The book’s accessible writing style makes it suitable for researchers and students who are interested in second language learning as well as for teachers and trainee teachers who are looking for classroom inspiration.

Esteemed Irish film maker McCardle O'Hanlon turns his back on gritty films dealing with dysfunctional families, the drug culture, gun violence, and urban crime to accept an offer to direct a big budget period costume drama. The working title for this period film is 'The Prince' and deals with the truncated life of Prince Henry Frederick Stuart the eldest son and heir of James I of England.Casting Director Susie Posey is assembling an international cast, but the key role of Prince Henry is proving problematical. Acting on the advice of long-time friend David Anderson, O'Hanlon watches Jayden Harnett play Richard II in a College production and is convinced he has found the young man to fill the part of Prince. The rest of the production team takes convincing.Eighteen-year-old Jayden Harnett tries to balance his personal and family life against the prospects of a film career that are dangled before him. A casting anomaly causes Jayden to be reunited with his school friend, Robert Rousseau who is recruited to join the film production. Jayden's wide reading and research draws him closer to the long dead Prince and his friend, Robert.When principal photography concludes, O'Hanlon does a first cut and despairs at the outcome. He calls upon his old friend David Anderson for advice and suggestions. Anderson is frank and forthright in his assessment and suggests the director make significant changes to the film. McCardle O'Hanlon and screenwriter, Sherwin Wood, rewrite aspects of the script and reshoot some vital scenes with a completely different focus. Anderson suggests one whole sequence, a requirement of the film's Producers, be dumped.The film is prepared for a gala charity premiere two weeks prior to Christmas before a world-wide cinema release on Boxing Day. Unpredictable events change everything, and Jayden Harnett stuns his family, and his former drama master with a life changing decision.
Drew Montgomery is a trust-fund baby who decides to launch a food magazine in the age of online publications. Hank is a gifted chef who has taken over San Francisco's cooking scene, but who struggles with a serious addiction problem. The suspicious death of Hank's father demands that these two rivals look beyond their initial mutual antipathy. This is a story of fathers and sons. Part romance, part mystery, this is a paean to foodies everywhere.
Directed Motivational Currents in L2

The book presents theoretical considerations as well as the results of empirical research on the existence of “directed motivational current” (DMC) experiences among Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in order to provide insights into how a DMC is triggered and launched, and to explore whether the key characteristics of DMCs could be detected in language learners' experiences in Iran. Although Dörnyei et al. (2016) claimed that language learners who experience a DMC may have an amalgamation of several positive emotions, they did not present any evidence of whether these feelings exert any impact on learners' willingness to take part in language learning situations (willingness to communicate (WTC)), their confidence to use their L2, their self-perceptions, and the extent to which they independently try to learn English inside and outside the classroom context (language learner autonomy). This book extensively studies DMCs in an EFL setting and examines how such experiences affect language learners' WTC, self-concept, language learner autonomy, and self-confidence.
Directed Quantities in Electrodynamics

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2022
sidottu
This monograph explores classical electrodynamics from a geometrical perspective with a clear visual presentation throughout. Featuring over 200 figures, readers will delve into the definitions, properties, and uses of directed quantities in classical field theory. With an emphasis on both mathematical and electrodynamic concepts, the author’s illustrative approach will help readers understand the critical role directed quantities play in physics and mathematics. Chapters are organized so that they gradually scale in complexity, and carefully guide readers through important topics. The first three chapters introduce directed quantities in three dimensions with and without the metric, as well as the development of the algebra and analysis of directed quantities. Chapters four through seven then focus on electrodynamics without the metric, such as the premetric case, waves, and fully covariant four-dimensional electrodynamics. Complementing the book’s careful structure, exercises are included throughout for readers seeking further opportunities to practice the material. Directed Quantities in Electrodynamics will appeal to students, lecturers, and researchers of electromagnetism. It is particularly suitable as a supplement to standard textbooks on electrodynamics.

Directed Algebraic Topology and Concurrency

This monograph presents an application of concepts and methods from algebraic topology to models of concurrent processes in computer science and their analysis.Taking well-known discrete models for concurrent processes in resource management as a point of departure, the book goes on to refine combinatorial and topological models. In the process, it develops tools and invariants for the new discipline directed algebraic topology, which is driven by fundamental research interests as well as by applications, primarily in the static analysis of concurrent programs.The state space of a concurrent program is described as a higher-dimensional space, the topology of which encodes the essential properties of the system. In order to analyse all possible executions in the state space, more than “just” the topological properties have to be considered: Execution paths need to respect a partial order given by the time flow. As a result, tools and concepts from topologyhave to be extended to take privileged directions into account.The target audience for this book consists of graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the field, mathematicians and computer scientists alike.
This book delves deeply into the real-world technologies behind the ‘directed energy weapons’ that many believe exist only within the confines of science fiction. On the contrary, directed energy weapons such as high energy lasers are very real, and this book provides a crash course in all the physical and mathematical concepts that make these weapons a reality. Written to serve both scientists researching the physical phenomena of laser effects, as well as engineers focusing on practical applications, the author provides worked examples demonstrating issues such as how to solve for heat diffusion equation for different boundary and initial conditions. Several sections are devoted to reviewing and dealing with solutions of diffusion equations utilizing the aid of the integral transform techniques. Ultimately this book examines the state-of-the-art in currently available high energy laser technologies, and suggests future directions for accelerating practical applications in the field.
Directed Enzyme Evolution: Advances and Applications

This book focuses on some of the most significant advances in enzyme engineering that have been achieved through directed evolution and hybrid approaches. On the 25th anniversary of the discovery of directed evolution, this volume is a tribute to the pioneers of this thrilling research field, and at the same time provides a comprehensive overview of current research and the state of the art.Directed molecular evolution has become the most reliable and robust method to tailor enzymes, metabolic pathways or even whole microorganisms with improved traits. By mirroring the Darwinian algorithm of natural selection on a laboratory scale, new biomolecules of invaluable biotechnological interest can now be engineered in a manner that surpasses the boundaries of nature.The volume is divided into two sections, the first of which provides an update on recent successful cases of enzyme ensembles from different areas of the biotechnological spectrum, including tryptophan synthases, unspecific peroxygenases, phytases, therapeutic enzymes, stereoselective enzymes and CO2-fixing enzymes. This section also provides information on the directed evolution of whole cells. The second section of the book summarizes a variety of the most applicable methods for library creation, together with the future trends aimed at bringing together directed evolution and in silico/computational enzyme design and ancestral resurrection.
Directed Polymers in Random Environments

Analyzing the phase transition from diffusive to localized behavior in a model of directed polymers in a random environment, this volume places particular emphasis on the localization phenomenon. The main questionis: What does the path of a random walk look like if rewards and penalties are spatially randomly distributed?This model, which provides a simplified version of stretched elastic chains pinned by random impurities, has attracted much research activity, but it (and its relatives) still holds many secrets, especially in high dimensions. It has non-gaussian scaling limits and it belongs to the so-called KPZ universality class when the space is one-dimensional. Adopting a Gibbsian approach, using general and powerful tools from probability theory, the discrete model is studied in full generality. Presenting the state-of-the art from different perspectives, and written in the form of a first course on the subject, this monographis aimed at researchers in probability or statistical physics, but is also accessible to masters and Ph.D. students.
