A STEM narrative: 15 years in the making

STEM education

Blackley S, Howell J.
GSID: LWMAgoWJ3EkJ
S Blackley, J Howell - Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2015 - search.informit.org

Since its inception in the late 1990s, STEM has continued to attract attention and sizeable funding in the US, UK and Australia. This paper narrates the development of the STEM movement and analyses both the influences that have progressed...

The next chapter in the STEM education narrative: Using robotics to support programming and coding

STEM education program evaluation

Howell J.
GSID: wut3T86K3V4J
S Blackley, J Howell - Australian Journal of Teacher Education …, 2019 - search.informit.org

In this paper, we use our qualitative research notes and observations to portray a model for integrated STEM education and summarise primary school students' typical and recurring ways in which they engaged with each new robot. The purpose of...

Can Anomalous Amplification be Attained without Postselection?.

Physical review letters

Martínez-Rincón J, Liu WT, Viza GI, Howell JC.
PMID: 27015468
Phys Rev Lett. 2016 Mar 11;116(10):100803. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.100803. Epub 2016 Mar 09.

We present a parameter estimation technique based on performing joint measurements of a weak interaction away from the weak-value-amplification approximation. Two detectors are used to collect full statistics of the correlations between two weakly entangled degrees of freedom. Without...

Fast Hadamard transforms for compressive sensing of joint systems: measurement of a 3.2 million-dimensional bi-photon probability distribution.

Optics express

Lum DJ, Knarr SH, Howell JC.
PMID: 26480426
Opt Express. 2015 Oct 19;23(21):27636-49. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.027636.

We demonstrate how to efficiently implement extremely high-dimensional compressive imaging of a bi-photon probability distribution. Our method uses fast-Hadamard-transform Kronecker-based compressive sensing to acquire the joint space distribution. We list, in detail, the operations necessary to enable fast-transform-based matrix-vector...

Knudsen-number dependence of two-dimensional single-mode Rayleigh-Taylor fluid instabilities.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics

Sagert I, Howell J, Staber A, Strother T, Colbry D, Bauer W.
PMID: 26274271
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2015 Jul;92(1):013009. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.92.013009. Epub 2015 Jul 08.

We present a study of single-mode Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities with a modified direct simulation Monte Carlo (MDSMC) code in two dimensions. The MDSMC code is aimed to capture the dynamics of matter for a large range of Knudsen numbers within...

Paraxial full-field cloaking.

Optics express

Choi JS, Howell JC.
PMID: 26193564
Opt Express. 2015 Jun 15;23(12):15857-62. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.015857.

We complete the 'paraxial' (small-angle) ray optics cloaking formalism presented previously [Opt. Express 22, 29465 (2014)], by extending it to the full-field of light. Omnidirectionality is then the only relaxed parameter of what may be considered an ideal, broadband,...

Fear and Uncertainty Do Not Influence Reported Willingness to Undergo Lumbar Punctures in a U.S. Multi-Cultural Cohort.

Frontiers in aging neuroscience

Tsvetkova DZ, Bergquist SH, Parker MW, Jarrett TL, Howell JC, Watts KD, Kollhoff A, Roberts DL, Hu WT.
PMID: 28239349
Front Aging Neurosci. 2017 Feb 10;9:22. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2017.00022. eCollection 2017.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related disorders can provide early and accurate prediction of underlying neuropathology even when the clinical symptoms are mild, but lumbar punctures (LP) to obtain CSF can be perceived as frightening and...

Simultaneous measurement of complementary observables with compressive sensing.

Physical review letters

Howland GA, Schneeloch J, Lum DJ, Howell JC.
PMID: 25014815
Phys Rev Lett. 2014 Jun 27;112(25):253602. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.253602. Epub 2014 Jun 26.

The more information a measurement provides about a quantum system's position statistics, the less information a subsequent measurement can provide about the system's momentum statistics. This information trade-off is embodied in the entropic formulation of the uncertainty principle. Traditionally,...

The Developmental Dynamics of Joining a Gang in Adolescence: Patterns and Predictors of Gang Membership.

Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence

Gilman AB, Hill KG, Hawkins JD, Howell JC, Kosterman R.
PMID: 24882999
J Res Adolesc. 2014 Jun 01;24(2):204-219. doi: 10.1111/jora.12121.

Researchers have examined the predictors of adolescent gang membership, finding significant factors in the neighborhood, family, school, peers, and individual domains. However, little is known about whether risk and protective factors differ in predictive salience at different developmental periods....

Experimental quantum cloning of single photons.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Lamas-Linares A, Simon C, Howell JC, Bouwmeester D.
PMID: 11923493
Science. 2002 Apr 26;296(5568):712-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1068972. Epub 2002 Mar 28.

Although perfect copying of unknown quantum systems is forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics, approximate cloning is possible. A natural way of realizing quantum cloning of photons is by stimulated emission. In this context, the fundamental quantum limit...

Radiometric calibration of an airborne CO2 pulsed Doppler lidar with a natural earth surface.

Applied optics

Cutten DR, Rothermel J, Jarzembski MA, Hardesty RM, Howell JN, Tratt DM, Srivastava V.
PMID: 12078677
Appl Opt. 2002 Jun 20;41(18):3530-7. doi: 10.1364/ao.41.003530.

Radiometric calibration of an airborne CO2 pulsed Doppler lidar has been accomplished with surface retroreflection signals from the White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Two circular passes were made at altitudes of 6.3 and 9.3 km. The computed calibration...

Nonequilibrium precursor model for the onset of percolation in a two-phase system.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics

Gleiser M, Howell RC, Ramos RO.
PMID: 11909171
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2002 Mar;65(3):036113. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.65.036113. Epub 2002 Feb 12.

Using a Boltzmann-like equation, we investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of nonperturbative fluctuations within the context of Ginzburg-Landau models. As an illustration, we examine how a two-phase system initially prepared in a homogeneous, low-temperature phase becomes populated by precursors of...
