Entertaining physics education: using an astronomy board game to enhance student learning and motivation
(GIREP-MPTL 2018, 2018-07-09)
This study examines the effects of a novel Astronomy Board Game on students science performance, their attitudes towards learning Science through games and their perception of scientists. Post-primary students in Ireland ...
Experimental assessment of MRI-induced temperature change and SAR distributions in phantoms
(NUI Galway, 2017-11-14)
During an MR procedure, most of the transmitted RF power is transformed into
heat within the patients’ tissue resulting from resistive losses, referred to as the specific energy
absorption rate(SAR) (2). The EU standardisation ...
Asteroid Day: a vehicle for raising public awareness of astronomy and space exploration among primary students in Ireland
(NUI Galway, 2018-03-24)
Asteroid Day is a global awareness campaign which takes place annually to learn about asteroids, their impact and to increase awareness on how we can protect the Earth from future asteroid impacts. At the event students ...
The bosonic vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface
(2011-08)
We discuss the partition function for the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface formed by sewing handles to a Riemann sphere. In particular, it is shown how the partition can be computed by means ...
