Week 12: Ethical Use of Information

Original Text: Thomas Jefferson was many things, but mostly he was a creature of paradox: the wealthy Virgina aristocrat who wrote the most famous statement of equality in American history; the sincere advocate of agrarian simplicity who worshipped at the art and architecture of Paris; above all, the fervent believer in human freedom who lived his entire life as a slave owner. The last paradox has always seemed the most poignant, is part because Jefferson himself acknowledged the massive gap between is principled ideal and his personal reality, and in part because the paradox Jefferson lived was emblematic of the larger disjunction in American society- now generally regarded as the central dilemma of American history- between the promise of liberty and the fact of racial discrimination.

Week 11: Annotated Bibliography

Week Eleven Assignment List your research question What is the efficiency of energy storage from PV solar cells, and how is it measured? Provide your citation in APA style Schindler, F., Michl, B., Kleiber, A., Steinkemper, H., Schon, J., Kwapil, W., . . . Schubert, M. C. (2015). Potential Gain in Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency by n-Type Doping. IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, 5(2), 499-506. Descriptive Theme : the central focus of this article is taking two types of multicrystalline solar cells and testing them under the same conditions in order to determine their efficiencies by a process called ELBA, or efficiency limiting bulk recombination analysis. The two types are either n-type, or p-type—meaning they are silicon based solar cells doped with more positive electrons, or electron holes. Although this compares two types of PV cells, it actually answers a larger question of whether or not solar cells can be efficient

Week 9 Assignment: Citation Mining

Week Nine Assignment Part One 1. Anderson, T.D. (2006), “Uncertainty in action: observing information seeking within the creative processes of scholarly research”, Information Research , Vol. 12 No. 1, available at: http://InformationR.net/ir/12-1/paper283.html (accessed 24 December 2006). ·       This is a website paper ·       I would copy and paste the html link and look for it that way, or I could use the title to look for it in Search It. ·       I only need to copy and paste the web link referenced in the citation itself. 2. Belkin, N.J. (1980), “Anomalous states of knowledge as a basis for information retrieval”, Canadian Journal of Information Science , Vol. 5, pp. 133-43. ·       This is an article in a journal, or periodical. ·       Using the Journal title, I will look in Search It, limited to Vancouver, to see if WSU has a subscription to this journal. ·       WSU does have a subscription. 3.

Week 8 Assignment: Three Sources

Week Eight Lesson and Assignment In Your Research Journal You will have a total of three articles—one each from three different subject specific databases. Article 1 1.      Name of database, and subject it covers : IEEE Xplore. The subject it covers is electrical and electronics engineering. 2.      APA Citation : Schindler, F., Michl, B., Kleiber, A., Steinkemper, H., Schon, J., Kwapil, W., . . . Schubert, M. C. (2015). Potential Gain in Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency by n-Type Doping. IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, 5(2), 499-506. 3.      Perspective of discipline on solar cells : the article is simply a quantitative investigation on photovoltaic materials. Rather than giving a certain individual perspective on the topic, it focuses on giving a specific series of instructions on n-Type doping and how to measure potential gain. Article 2 1.      Name of database, and subject it covers : CiteSeer and it’s a search database that is specific to com
