This paper focuses on mining the strategies of problem solving software users by observing their actions. Our application domain is an HCI study aimed at discovering general strategies employed by software users and understanding how such strategies relate to gender and success. We cast this problem as a sequential pattern...
Although there has been significant research into gender regarding educational and workplace
practices, there has been little awareness of gender differences as they pertain to software tools,
such as spreadsheet applications, that try to support end users in problem-solving tasks. Although
such software tools are intended to be gender agnostic,...
The purpose of this study was to address the implementation fidelity of one part
of a professional development model developed by the Northwest Regional Educational
Laboratory (NWREL). Specifically, this research investigates middle school teachers’
use of a formative feedback guide developed by NWREL staff, examining the reliability
with which teachers...
Natural resource educators are beginning to appreciate that formal critical thinking and ethical reasoning skills are not only important but absolutely necessary tools for the 21st century natural resource professional (both scientist and manager). However, given a historic lack of formal ethical reasoning within natural resource curricula combined with the...
These three case studies of local fishery policy in Japan examine common causes of a successful fishery policy. This study tries to seek answer on "How did successful cases on Japanese local fishery policy succeed?" To find answer to this question, this study analyzed the relationship and the role of...
We explore the limitations of the CRRA utility speci cation as applied
to cake-eating problems. We construct a set of conditions under which cake-
eating problems have no optimal solution. Furthermore, we explore how agents
choose their consumption path when an optimization problem has no solution,
and suggest a method...

In this work, we revisit the upscaling process of diffusive mass transfer of a solute
undergoing a homogeneous reaction in porous media using the method of volume averaging.
For linear reaction rate kinetics, the upscaled model exhibits a vis-à-vis correspondence
with the mass transfer governing equation at the microscale. When...
