X-ray computed tomography is a noninvasive imaging modality capable of reconstructing exact density values of 3D objects. Computed tomography machines are deployed across the world to provide doctors with an image that reveals more detail than a standard x-ray image. We investigate algorithms based on exact computed tomography reconstruction formulas...
The goal of this research project is to determine the fractal nature, if any, which
surface water waves exhibit when viewed on a microscopic scale. Due to the
relatively recent development of this area of mathematics, a brief introduction to the
study of fractal geometry, as well as several examples...
This investigation was designed to measure certain visually
perceived nonverbal behaviors of teachers in an effort to learn the
relationships between these behaviors and the affective responses of
students to the teachers, To this end, teachers were videotaped, and
the tapes were shown to students for their affective responses.

Data visualizations designed for academic scientists are not immediately meaningful to everyday scientists. Communicating between a specialized, expert audience and a general, novice public is non-trivial; it requires careful translation. However, more widely available visualization technologies and platforms, including new three-dimensional spherical display systems in schools and informal science education...
A concept image is that collection of all images, pictures, symbols, definitions
and properties associated with any given mathematical concept. One of the
most important components in the mental representation of concepts in the concept
image of advanced mathematical thinkers is visualization. This component, in
turn, is indispensable in the...
Considerable evidence exists to suggest the notion that selected
personality traits may be related to specific aspects of academic
achievement. This study was directed toward the investigation of this
relationship in the case of non-science majors enrolled in a college
course in physical science.
Personality was assessed with the California...
Currently there is a lack of documentation on the
types of teaching methods being used to teach elementary
mathematics in Saudi Arabia, To help meet this need, this
research project studied the verbal behavior of Saudi
Arabian elementary mathematics teachers. A two-fold
problem was addressed.
1. To obtain a description...
