Application of bicubic splines in the boundary element method
Abstract In this paper, we proposed the method for improving the accuracy of BEM, which is based on application of bicubic splines for interpolation functions. Application of bicubic splines ensures continuity of class C 1 at the boundaries of element. Such an interpolation results in smooth approximation of the surface sources leading to high accuracy of computation. Set of integral equations is solved by implementation of Galerkin method for determination of unknown coefficients.The accuracy of the proposed approach is illustrated by comparison of the solution of electric field in thin-plate capacitor by BEM using bicubic splines, second-order polynomial, linear and piecewise-constant interpolation.
Exploring interculturally competent teaching in social sciences classrooms
Abstract This paper explores a grounded research-based framework for intercultural competence and discusses the implications of interculturally competent teaching in the classroom and beyond. Given the importance of teachers being interculturally competent in today’s diverse classrooms, a number of questions, based on the framework, are presented, which guide teachers in reflecting upon their own teaching practice and the ways in which they integrate aspects of intercultural competence into their classrooms. The paper also provides some examples from the USA of ways in which intercultural competence development is being addressed in teacher training.
