Semantic Interpretation of Architectural Drawings
The paper reviews the needs and issues of automatically interpreting architectural drawings into building model representations. It distinguishes between recognition and semantic interpretation and reviews the steps involved in developing such a conversion capability, referring to the relevant literature and concepts. It identifies two potentially useful components, neither of which has received attention. One is the development of a syntactically defined drafting language. The other is a strate
The Design of Decision Support Systems in Urban and Regional Planning
Planning methodology over the years, has shifted from situations whereby planners think, plan and design for the people to one whereby both people and planners have become important components of the planning process. Consequently, the important urban planning methodology of the last two decades that utilized mathematical models in the planning process is fast becoming obsolete. The paper argues that model building should move to the creation of urban decision support systems for the planning pr

DNA Profiling by Mutliplex PCR Amplification and Genotype Determination by Reverse Dot-Blot Hybridiz
Human DNA profiling has applications in paternity testing and forensics. This exercise provides students the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with procedures that are currently used to extract DNA from their own cells, quantify the DNA in the extract, perform a multiplex PCR amplification of several loci used in forensic analysis, and determine their own genotype at those loci. In addition, methods for analyzing results relative to existing population databases will be presented. The ex
Post Copenhagen: Where do we go now?

Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,In this segment the interviewer is using questions to help guide the student's thinking about the difference in age between two mountains. He encourages her to look at her own drawing and compare what she has drawn to a representation of two mountains encountered earlier. The student changes her idea about which mountain is older by connecting the explanation she used in her own drawing to the representations use
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,This segment provides an example of the interviewer asking the student to draw and explain her thinking about what happened when India and China collided. The student draws a triangle, indicating that she has a basic idea that the land masses were uplifted. She also mentions the bottom of the ocean as sliding underneath- a basic subduction idea. The interviewer probes to find out what her ideas are about the tim
Essential Science for Teachers: Physical Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,The segment shows the interviewer using phenomena to probe for the student's ideas about whether the mass would change when two solutions are mixed together. The clip is an example of a struggle the student is having using her own intuitive ideas about the size of the substances (smaller means less mass). The interviewer challenges the student's idea by having her make a prediction and then test it by finding the
