The effect of the modules was assessed in an introductory biology course at the University of Maryland.
The study of a double stage membrane module with a permeate recycle, which was proposed to be the optimal configuration in previous studies, was extended to consider the effects of the module characteristics (such as the fiber length, radius of the fiber bundle, diameter of the fibers, and porosity) on the process performance and economics.
A generalised non-dimensional multi-parametric model for involute spur gear design is presented, considering manufacturability and geometrical compatibility, where the latter considers various modes of interference and accounts for the combined effects of the module, pressure angle, tooth addendum, dedendum, cutter tip radius, and the numbers of teeth of a pair of mating gears.
We evaluated the long-term effects of the module by comparing paper quiz performance between "first-time" students (students taking one of the labs included in the study for the first time) and "returner" students (students who have previously taken one of the labs included in the study).
The effect of cooling the module by incorporating a heat exchanger (cooling panel) at its rear surface is also investigated experimentally.
According to the inner-product property of a biplot (Yan and Kang 2002), the projection of a module vector on a condition vector represents the magnitude of the effect of the gene module on the condition, or vice versa.
The effect of the Ferrets module on student learning was substantial for a short intervention (average Cohen's d within module courses = 0.63).
This result indicates a strong positive effect of the Ferrets module on student performance relative to control course students.
In general, the effect of the force module on the maxillary base was small with a mean increase of 0.8 mm, but the variation was wide, ranging from −1.4 to 4.5 mm.
