...Brandi Green EXP 105 Final Reflection When hearing the word “learning”, what comes to mind? The most important aspect of learning is taking in the world around you and connecting it to what you are experiencing. In order to understand what you are experiencing, you have to make sense of it. Learning involves using your critical thinking skills to respond appropriately to any workplace task, online assignment, or opportunity to speak publicly. College is learning how to learn and how your mind works so you can take that understanding with you to a career you desire. Do not forget that the basic steps of learning is a gathering information and storing it in your memory for convenient use. As I look back to my definition of learning, it sort of compares to what learning is. I had a belief that learning was putting your mind and effort into trying to understand life itself, along with everything around us. After taking Exp. 105, I have discovered that there is more to learning. From using your critical thinking skills when responding to your online assignments, how important your learning patterns are, to making sense of what you experience in order to understand what you learn. The Learning Connections Inventory (LCI) is a set of terms used to describe your learning processes accurately and thoroughly. There are four learning patterns which are Sequence, Precision, Technical Reasoning, and Confluence. By using Sequence (31) as my Use First, I strive on clear directions when completing...

...Final Reflection Jessi Benanti EXP 105 Personal Dimensions of Education Cassidy Hawf January 6, 2016 Final Reflection Paragraph 1: What is Learning At the time that I started this course I had a tapered meaning of learning. I thought learning meant acquiring knowledge or a set of skills by experience, by being taught, or by studying. Throughout this class I have acquired a more in-depth understanding of what learning means. According to Jhnston (page 1.2) learning is “taking in world around you and connecting to way you are experiencing.” This is just the tip of the ice burg when it comes to learning, as you gain the knowledge from the world around you, learning requires that as you start to understand what you are making sense of the knowledge that you will finally come to understand what you are experiencing. As Johnston stated “learning involves using your critical thinking skills and sound judgment to respond appropriately to any workplace task, online assignment, or opportunity to speak publicly” (page 1.2). Not only is learning understanding knowledge, but also understanding how you come to understand that knowledge. There are four types of learning patterns, Sequence, Precision, Technical Reasoning, and Confluence. As a learner you should try to understand what type of learner you are. Once you figure out your unique pattern, you will be able to learn more intentionally. Paragraph 2: Describing yourself as a Learner When it comes to my learning patterns...

...EXP 105 Final paper The concept of learning is no longer thought of as a curriculum of study. At that time learning was thought of as "the ability to read and recite, primarily on recall, and was limited to how much a person could memorize." (Dr. Johnston, Intentional Learning for College Success). Knowing now that learning is both personal and universal, the way we intentionally learn is a very different notion indeed." We are engaged in learning at all times every moment of our day. The actions of taking in the world around us, understanding and making sense of it, and finally being able to respond in a appropriate way, accounts for making up the aspects needed to learn. Pursuit of learning with purpose and intention requires time, and we must have this opportunity to consider our thoughts." (Dr. Johnston). When first beginning my journey in EXP 105 my notions of learning were very different and quite basic in thought. Although I truly believe, as I did at the begining of the course, that learning is personal, and we all learn in different ways. The difference being then I had no clue what the LCI was. These learning patterns that were taught to us were a complete mystery, and quite frankly I never knew they existed at all. I now see learning in a much broader perspective and after being given the tools to understand myself as a intentional learner, this reinforces my first thoughts of individuals learning in different ways. My views of learning have greatly changed in regards...

...Exp:105 Final Assignment Final Reflection Dameon Martin Learning is your life experiences. Learning is retaining retaining knowledege you did not have before. Critical thinking is also apart of learning. Learning have changed a lot since the internet because you have access to infomation that wasn't assessible before. My views of learnig have changed because,before I thought learning was gaining new knowledge. Now I know its much more than that. Critical thinking is a big part of learing the way you interpt what you read helps you retain knowledge. Learning envolves your life experiences that build your social skills and how to take direction. I am a strong-willed learner. I sometimes make my own rules than follow them. I use all my learning patterns i don't avoid any. My Learning Pattern scores are Sequence 32 Percision 32 Technical 27 Confluence 21. I use sequence first as I always do things in order and I dont like clutter. I use percision first as I always ask alot of questions and need an explanation for everything. I use technical reasoning first as I like to work alone and build anything. I use confluence as needed as I brainstorm before starting a task and to create things from the top of my head. All four of my patterns interact like before starting a task I brainstorm ideas then I get the information I need. That I put everything in order then draft what I have to do. The benefits of using my learning patterns.Is using sequence on assignments is have everything in order...

...Final Reflection Monica Ramirez EXP 105 Personal Dimensions of Education Prof. Benjamin Rosenthal May 12, 2014 If I was to explain this course to someone who has not taken it before, I would have to ask the individual to take the LCI assessment. After getting their scores I would be able to explain their learning patterns to them and how they use them in a learning environment and on a day to day basis. I would explain to them that their patterns will help to figure out their past mistakes as a learner. I have learned that finding your patterns will help you find a job that would be a good fit as to how you learn. My views of learning have grown since I last defined it in week one. I know that it is more than just taking in new information and achieving your goals. It’s learning from your past and taking those mistakes and turning them into an achievement, being able to take your patterns and round them into success. Being a strong willed learner I like to take charge and use the information given to me in a productive manner. My LCI score are as follows: use first Sequence (30), use first Precise (26), use first Technical Reasoning (33), use as needed Confluent (21). As I take in the world around me I believe I use Sequence to have order and organization in my life. Asking questions and needing accurate information with day to day events puts Precision in affect. Using my Technical Reasoning pattern helps me with problem solving and seeing my objective to...

...Journal of Electronic Imaging 13(1), 146 – 165 (January 2004). Survey over image thresholding techniques and quantitative performance evaluation Mehmet Sezgin ¨ ˙ Tubıtak Marmara Research Center Information Technologies Research Institute Gebze, Kocaeli Turkey E-mail: sezgin@btae.mam.gov.tr ¨ Bulent Sankur ˇ ¸ Bogazici University Electric-Electronic Engineering Department Bebek, ˙stanbul I Turkey Abstract. We conduct an exhaustive survey of image thresholding methods, categorize them, express their formulas under a uniform notation, and finally carry their performance comparison. The thresholding methods are categorized according to the information they are exploiting, such as histogram shape, measurement space clustering, entropy, object attributes, spatial correlation, and local gray-level surface. 40 selected thresholding methods from various categories are compared in the context of nondestructive testing applications as well as for document images. The comparison is based on the combined performance measures. We identify the thresholding algorithms that perform uniformly better over nondestructive testing and document image applications. © 2004 SPIE and IS&T. [DOI: 10.1117/1.1631316] 1 Introduction In many applications of image processing, the gray levels of pixels belonging to the object are substantially different from the gray levels of the pixels belonging to the background. Thresholding then becomes a simple but effective tool to separate objects from the background...

Some chapters are more finished than others. References and attributions are very preliminary and we apologize in advance for any omissions (but hope you will nevertheless point them out to us). Please send us bugs, typos, missing references or general comments to complexitybook@gmail.com — Thank You!! DRAFT ii DRAFT About this book Computational complexity theory has developed rapidly in the past three decades. The list of surprising and fundamental results proved since 1990 alone could fill a book: these include new probabilistic definitions of classical complexity classes (IP = PSPACE and the PCP Theorems) and their implications for the field of approximation algorithms; Shor’s algorithm to factor integers using a quantum computer; an understanding of why current approaches to the famous P versus NP will not be successful; a theory of derandomization and pseudorandomness based upon computational hardness; and beautiful constructions of pseudorandom objects such as extractors and expanders. This book aims to describe such recent achievements of complexity theory in the context of the classical results. It is intended to both serve as a textbook as a reference for self-study. This means...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of study The primary function of any highway is the transportation of people and goods from its source across to its intended destination. The functional effectiveness of any facility as such should be to ensure it serves its designed capacity with the most of convenience and safety for the users and vehicles plying it. This would help improve the level of service of facility and overall see to it that the socio-economic importance of it is realised. Traffic engineering analysis has to be employed to study the characteristic traffic flow conditions of the highway. The speed, density and flow are the basic traffic stream variables that need to be studied together with their relationship with one another in the traffic stream. These variables are very much linked and their relationship would provide an indication of the level of usage and efficiency of a roadway system and provide transportation planners the basic data in the evaluation of the effectiveness of capacity improvement measures. Information on highway traffic conditions is usually collected by organising and conducting traffic surveys and studies. Traffic studies may be grouped into three main categories as inventories, administrative studies, and dynamic studies. Of these three the dynamic traffic studies involve the collection of data under operational conditions and include studies of speed, traffic volume, travel time and delay, parking and accidents. This study is made...

...Chaotic Growth with the Logistic Model of P.-F. Verhulst Hugo Pastijn Department of Mathematics, Royal Military Academy B-1000 Brussels, Belgium Hugo.Pastijn@rma.ac.be Summary. Pierre-Fran¸ois Verhulst was born 200 years ago. After a short biograc phy of P.-F. Verhulst in which the link with the Royal Military Academy in Brussels is emphasized, the early history of the so-called “Logistic Model” is described. The relationship with older growth models is discussed, and the motivation of Verhulst to introduce different kinds of limited growth models is presented. The (re-)discovery of the chaotic behaviour of the discrete version of this logistic model in the late previous century is reminded. We conclude by referring to some generalizations of the logistic model, which were used to describe growth and diffusion processes in the context of technological innovation, and for which the author studied the chaotic behaviour by means of a series of computer experiments, performed in the eighties of last century by means of the then emerging “micro-computer” technology. 1 P.-F. Verhulst and the Royal Military Academy in Brussels In the year 1844, at the age of 40, when Pierre-Fran¸ois Verhulst on November c 30 presented his contribution to the “M´moires de l’Acad´mie” of the young e e Belgian nation, a paper which was published the next year in “tome XVIII” with the title: “Recherches math´matiques sur la loi d’accroissement de la e population” (mathematical investigations of the law of...
