This article discusses the use of drama activities in teaching German to various groups of students at Cork Institute of Technology in the academic year 2003/2004 The findings are based on action research and reflective practice It describes the outcomes of the use of drama activities in the first-year classroom, and analyses what might have been done differently in order to achieve a more positive result It also describes the more successful outcomes of the enactment of two dramatic activities by a second-year German class, and the use of a third drama activity with both second- and third-year students The latter activity was created in collaboration with a colleague, and the latter’s participation and observations, as well as the students’ observations, formed an integral part of the analysis The concluding part of the article makes suggestions for further research, and offers some advice to third-level teachers or lecturers who are interested in using drama in similar language classroom environments

The use of drama activities in teaching German in a third-level classroom

The effective stiffness of materials that are impregnated with magnetic nanoparticles can be modulated by magnetic fields if the nanoparticle Neel relaxation rates are slower than the characteristic deformation rates. A numerical analysis indicates that the deflection of magnetic dipoles against the applied magnetic field on deformation of the material provides the energy absorption necessary for the enhanced stiffness observed in drop ball impact tests. The penetration depth, fraction of the impact energy that is absorbed by the rotating dipoles, and the effective increase in stiffness are shown to depend uniquely on the ratio of the characteristic magnetic energy density relative to the elastic energy density, and on the shape of the impacting object.

This paper describes the etching effects of Na2SO4 electrolyzed oxidizing water on the surface of pure iron. First, we threw light on the etching characteristic of electrolyzed oxidizing water on the surface of pure iron by comparative immersion experiments with H2SO4 solution. The results show that etching effects of electrolyzed oxidizing water are huge. In addition, the higher the ORP/pH value of the electrolyzed oxidizing water becomes, the quicker the etching effects works. Next, we threw light on the influence of electrolyzed oxidizing water on the surface shape of pure iron, by the observation using the SEM image. The results indicated that electrolyzed oxidizing water did not have a big influence on the surface shape of pure iron. Lastly, by analyzing the surface, we made it clear that electrolyzed oxidizing water had no bad influence on the chemical composition of the pure iron surface. The study indicates that Na2SO4 electrolyzed oxidizing water can be applied to the surface treatment and washing of pure iron. Na2SO4 electrolyzed oxidizing water does not have chloride ion, unlike NaCl electrolyzed oxidizing water. Therefore, Na2SO4 electrolyzed oxidizing water is wide in the application scope, compared with NaCl electrolyzed oxidizing water.

Aseries of previously unreported N-aryl-7-hydroxy-2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carboxamides were synthesized via the reaction of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with cyanoacetic acid arylamides in the presence of a catalyst. The structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. Biological tests showed that some of these compounds exhibited antimicrobial activity.
