The authors review the giant screen (GS) film literature to determine if the form has unique attributes that contribute to science learning. They find that four attributes are claimed to contribute to higher learning outcomes: the sense of immersion by reducing peripheral views to a minimum; first person perspective contributing to the sense of presence in the film; narrative structure; and sensory stimulation of mirror neurons that promote kinesthetic learning. They demonstrate that most claims are without support in empirical research but uncover some recent results that give reason to believe these claims may be supportable. The authors conclude with a recommendation for a research agenda to support these claims as necessary, in order to defend the high production cost of GS film over conventional film.
I love museums, and I love the museum family and these yearly family gatherings. I am particularly honored to be invited to address the CARE community gathered here today because I think you are critical to the salvation of our family.Our museum family is in danger. Outside economic forces find us vulnerable because of internal divisions and because we don't have our act together. So, I am here on a mission to save museums and to engage your considerable skills in a family intervention, for we have lost our way. Management has failed our mission by focusing on outputs like attendance numbers, and audience researchers have failed management by not shedding light on the connections between the pleasure of learning and attendance or, if you will, between individual gains and a museum's public value. This research vision for museums looks at how you can make that connection and save museums in their hour of need.We are all museum professionals. We are part of that larger field, with this AAM Big Tent conference hosting our largest family gathering. After the "museum boom" of the Giddy Nineties, there are now more museums than Starbucks (Katz, 2008) -yet many of them are struggling in today's economy and wired lifestyle.I mentioned that I am particularly fond of these annual family gatherings, where I run into friends and colleagues near the registration desks and in the aisles of AAM's Expo Center. This annual conference has always reminded me of a Lewis Thomas quote from his Lives of a Cell, that Jeanie and I used as one of our marriage readings, over 25 years ago. As you listen to Thomas's description, think of our professional family and of this conference:
Objectives/Scope Creeping shale formations has over the last decade actively been used as permanent barriers for plugging & abandonment of wells across the North Sea. This paper gives an insight in how an innovative one trip system has been used to help qualify the Lower Hordaland formation as a barrier for plugging & abandonment of wells on the Gyda Field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The Gyda Field is in the North Sea 280 km southwest of Stavanger in 66 meters of water. The Gyda reservoir is Upper Jurassic shallow marine sandstone at a depth of approx. 4000 meter. The evaluation and integration of data from wells drilled on the Gyda Field has concluded that the following formation groups are potential inflow zones that needs to be isolated in the permanent plugging of the wells Gyda reservoir, Farsund, lower Åsgard, and cretaceous/tertiary Inflow Group Forties/Lista. The permanent plugging & abandonment of the 32 wells on the Gyda Field started in Q-1 2019, and needed an effective approach to qualifying creeping shale as a permanent barrier. Methods, Procedures, Process This approach was based on logging behind the 9 5/8" casing using an ultrasonic logging tool to locate the Lower Hordaland shale creep. The shale was successfully identified on the first wells, and the next phase was to prove, and verify that the creeping shales sealing capability. A one trip tool system consisting of a disconnect tool, by directional cup tool and TCP perforating guns was used to perforated the casing, straddle the perforations and test the hydraulic sealing capability of the Lower Hordaland Shale. Results, Observations, Conclusions The result was 3 successful formation tests qualifying the Lower Hordaland shale as a permanent barrier. This innovative approach has improved the overall efficiency of the permanent plugging and abandonment of the wells on the Gyda Field significantly. This paper describes the extensive work process that has been performed to plan, execute and verify the integrity of the lower Hordaland formation as a permanent barrier for plugging & abandonment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
