For a simple client like the Arduino there seems to be no way to check the IPaddress assigned by the network, it can only respond to the IP address pre-assigned in its code.To resolve this problem, the team met again with the campus network administrators whothankfully agreed to allocating a static IP address to the Arduino’ s Wi-Fi card.Wi-Fi Connectivity Sequence ChartThe student tasked with wireless connectivity and information logging had no prior knowledgeof wireless
this experiment is shown in Figures 10b and 10c. Analuminum cylinder was used as analogous to the pumping well, while aluminum sheet(s) were Page 22.1392.8used to simulate perennial stream(s) condition. The tank was filled with mildly conducting waterto simulate homogeneous aquifer soil condition. The higher voltage of 20V was applied to thealuminum sheet and the lower voltage of 0V was applied to the aluminum cylinder to simulatethe pumping (or discharging). For two constant head boundaries, a second step-down transformerwas used and a constant voltage of 10V was applied to the second constant head boundary.Constant voltage locations were
isstill active. If this command is not sent, the MP2000 will unlock its keyboard continuously forapproximately 30 seconds.In addition, the Visual Basic program is required to send an update packet every 300milliseconds. This packet is sent in the format: obj1value + obj2value + Sp byte + verify byte +0x0d. The Verify Byte is a result of byte calculation of the bytes before the Verify Byte. In thiscase, these bytes consist of obj1value, obj2value and Sp byte. In order to calculate the value ofthe Verify Byte, the sum of the previous bytes is found. Then, the 2’s Complement Rule isapplied to the sum of the bytes which is then passed through a modulus of 128. The formulacalculates the correct value for the Verify Byte which is used by the MP2000
Engineering from the University of Illinois, and a Doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin. After receiving her PhD, she spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. Her academic career began in 1994 when she became an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1999, she accepted a position in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Virginia Tech where she was promoted to Professor in 2003 and was recognized as the William S. Cross Professor of Mechanical Engineering in 2005. In 2006, she was appointed and continues to hold the position of Head of the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University

Altogether, the students performed six laboratory exercises that weregraded. Four exercises were conventional, and two were inquiry-based.Tank FillingThe objective of the tank filling exercise is to develop in students a solid conceptual Page
overall human capital strategy. The remainderof the paper will focus on the STEP Program itself.A consequence of the end to the cold war was that the Department of Defense (DoD) found itselfwith an excess amount of infrastructure that was no longer required. The excess infrastructureincluded personnel no longer needed to support our post cold war efforts. This lead to congressauthorizing a number of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) rounds to be conducted into themid-1990’s that were intended to right size DoD both in physical plant infrastructure as well asin personnel resources. BRAC rounds were conducted every odd numbered year culminating inthe last, and most extensive, round occurring in 1995. This periodic BRAC process did reducethe size
in the friction factor playing the largest role. On theother hand, the measured mass flow rate when h was about 25 cm yields an uncertainty of Page 11.936.9approximately ± 1%. The bucket-stopwatch is accurate to this level because the bucket wasallowed to fill for a long period of time -- about 200 s -- so that about 7 kg of water wascollected. Thus the relative effect of the uncertainties is reduced. Table 1. Estimated measurement uncertainties. Estimated Quantity Uncertainty
