The TI-86 Scientific Calculator: Using the Reciprocal Function for Complex Numbers
This primer introduces the student to the correct method of using complex reciprocals in a TI-86 calculator. The solution of total impedance of a parallel circuit in rectangular form is shown.
Dietary Manager Training: Hydration, Dehydration, and Elderly Clients
Learners read about the role of water, the basic physiology of water balance, and the effects of dehydration particularly on elderly clients. Tips for maintaining proper hydration are presented. In an interactive exercise, students calculate how much fluid a client needs based on his/her age, health, and weight.
Learners study the mathematical calculations used to determine the proper PID values to be entered into a controller using the Ziegler-Nichols Reaction Curve.
In this animated activity, learners view the seven steps that are used to calculate voltage and current values throughout a common-emitter transistor amplifier.
In this interactive object, learners solve additional problems involving total resistance and current, the current through each resistor, the voltage across each resistor, and the power dissipated.
In this learning activity you'll observe how computers operate in a client-server network operating system and consider the advantages and disadvantages of such a system.
Material condition modifiers may be applied to tolerances for geometric characteristics of features of size. A feature of size is one that can be measured across two opposing points, either internally or externally.
Dietary Manager Training: Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates (Screencast)
Learners follow the path of a carbohydrate food from consumption through digestion to absorption into the bloodstream. In a matching exercise, students identify the main type of carbohydrate found in four different foods.
Distinguishing Leadership and Management Activities (Screencast)
In this screencast, students read about the key differences between management and leadership activities. They will review typical supervisory activities as either management or leadership.
The Time Proportioning Operational Amplifier (Screencast)
In this animated object, learners see how a time proportioning operational amplifier varies an average DC voltage. A brief quiz completes the activity.
