Comparing Three Approaches To Preparing Teachers To Teach For Deep Understanding In Earth Science: Short-Term Impacts On Teachers And Teaching Practice
This study used an experimental design to compare the efficacy of three different approaches to professional development for preparing teachers to implement curriculum units aimed at teaching for deep conceptual understanding.

Enhanced Ion Acoustic Lines Due to Strong Ion Cyclotron Wave Fields
The Fast Auroral Snapshot Explorer (FAST) satellite detected intense and coherent 5–20 m electric field structures in the high-latitude topside auroral ionosphere between the altitudes of 350 km and 650 km.

Preparing Teachers To Teach For Deep Understanding: A Curriculum-Based Approach
A central goal of most professional development in Earth science is to help teachers prepare their students to develop a deep understanding of subject matter. We describe an approach that accomplishes this goal by preparing teachers to use a principled approach to adapting high-quality curriculum materials for middle-school Earth science units.

Threshold Collision-Induced Dissociation of Hydrogen-Bonded Dimers of Carboxylic Acids
Energy-resolved competitive collision-induced dissociation is used to investigate the proton-bound heterodimer anions of a series of carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, and benzoic acid) and nitrous acid with their conjugate bases.

Automatic Labeling Inconsistencies Detection and Correction for Sentence Unit Segmentation in Conversational Speech
In this work, we present various methods to detect labeling inconsistencies in the ICSI meeting corpus. We show that by automatically detecting and removing the inconsistent examples from the training data, we significantly improve the sentence segmentation accuracy.

Detecting nonnative speech using speaker recognition approaches
Detecting whether a talker is speaking his native language is useful for speaker recognition, speech recognition, and intelligence applications. We study the problem of detecting nonnative speakers of American English, using two standard speech corpora. We apply approaches effective in speaker verification to this task, including systems based on MLLR, phone N-gram, prosodic, and word…

First Estimates of Volume Distribution of HF-Pump Enhanced Emissions at 6300 and 5577 Angstrom: a Comparison Between Observations and Theory
We present bi-static observations of radio-wave induced optical emissions at 6300 and 5577 Å from a night-time radio-induced optical emission ionospheric pumping experiment at the HIPAS (Fairbanks) facility in Alaska.
