  • Student Thoughts on Derivatives of Vector Fields

    Creator:
    Walker, Mesa E.
    Abstract:
    Junior level physics students are familiar with a few types of vector field derivatives, such as divergence and curl, but are typically unfamiliar with how to take a general derivative of a vector field. Three junior-level physics students were interviewed with the open-ended prompt, “How would you think about taking...

  • Division algebra representations of SO(4,2)

    Creator:
    Kincaid, Joshua James
    Abstract:
    Representations of SO(4,2;R) are constructed using 4 x 4 and 2 x 2 matrices with elements in H' ⊗ C . Using 2 x 2 matrix representations of C and H', the 4 x 4 representation is interpreted in terms of 16 x 16 real matrices. Finally, the known isomorphism...

  • Coordinatization Activated: How Students Understand and Apply Coordinate-Independent Integral Equations to Physics Situations

    Creator:
    Mulder, Gregory S.
    Abstract:
    Physics problems that require integration, such as finding the center of mass of an object or finding the electric field from a continuous distribution of charge, are one type of problem that is difficult for introductory physics students to solve. These problems require students to define a coordinate system in...

  • Small group discussions in large lecture : connections between teacher facilitation and student participation

    Creator:
    Roth, Jennifer A. (Jennifer Albretsen)
    Abstract:
    An investigation was made to determine teacher facilitation techniques in large lecture physics classrooms that foster small group discussion. Video recordings of an introductory calculus-based physics class were taken for the 2008-2009 academic year at Oregon State University. These videos were analyzed to determine student participation in small group discussion...

  • Killing spinors and affine symmetry tensors in Gödel's Universe

    Creator:
    Cook, Samuel A.
    Abstract:
    The existence of generalized symmetries of Maxwell's equations in Gödel's Universe is investigated. It is shown that their existence is in turn tied to the existence of certain spinorial objects called Killing spinors. The conformal algebra, corresponding to valence (1; 1) Killing spinors, for Gödel's Universe is discussed in detail....

  • The structure of E6

    Creator:
    Wangberg, Aaron D.
    Abstract:
    A fundamental question related to any Lie algebra is to know its subalgebras. This is particularly true in the case of E6, an algebra which seems just large enough to contain the algebras which describe the fundamental forces in the Standard Model of particle physics. In this situation, the question...

  • Training needs of school counseling site supervisors in the Pacific Northwest : An exploration via the construct of self-efficacy

    Creator:
    DeKruyf, Lorraine
    Abstract:
    School counseling site supervisors provide a critical contribution to the professional development of master's program school counseling interns; however, their training needs remain unidentified in the literature. To that end, the purpose of this quantitative study was to explore the training needs of site supervisors of master's program school counseling...
