In the first phase (activity 5), students constructed a macro-level, semi-stable model of the fish tank ecosystem by modeling the fish and duckweed species as two agent types.
This prompted the transition to the second phase (activity 6) where students identified the continuously increasing fish waste as the culprit for the lack of sustainability of the fish tank.
The first phase of activities involved expert review of the rubric and rating the importance of attributes covered in order to ensure that the rubric appropriately measures our targeted construct within the context of extant literature, and as a way of establishing construct validity of the rubric.
In the first phase of activity, thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) tests were performed on plain uniaxial tensile specimens subject to service-like loading conditions characterized by low strain rates, thermal transients to 565 °C and long hold times at the peak temperature.
Professor Gottschalk's first decade at the University of Chicago also brackets the first phase of activity by the Social Sciences Research Council, which was organized by the Rockefeller Foundation in 1923.
In the first phase of activity there was a strong response to contralateral stimuli, with no response or even weak suppression to ipsilateral (early period, contralateral > ipsilateral, P < 0.001 in anova with factors category × cue × hemifield).
Although the international collaborative has limited its efforts to four countries/regions in its first phase of activity, subsequent phases will be gradually enlarged to include additional countries, and assess the feasibility of using the same approach at a larger and more global level.
In the first phase (2012), ACF activities took place in 15 operational districts (ODs), and 15 other ODs were used as controls where routine passive case finding (PCF) continued by using microscopy.
Based on readings taken by scientists during the first phase of Eyjafjallajokull activity last month, the website Information is Beautiful calculated the volcano has emitted about 150,000 tonnes of CO2 each day.
During the second phase of activities, we ensured usage of rubric was consistent across raters to determine inter-rater reliability.
The second phase included activities such as: training of master trainers in production of prototype materials.
