If an externalload is not present at the point of interest, then a dummy load can be applied there for thepurpose of deflection determination. After the partial derivative is calculated with respect to thedummy load, that dummy is set to zero in the moment equation.

SimulationsThe algorithm for microgrid optimization using the Q-learning [8] reinforcement learningtechnique was developed in MATLAB for the purpose of simulating the electrical microgridoptimal performance. The goal is to optimize the power flow in the network using the Q-learningtechnique. The microgrid configuration includes an islanded mode of operation, with aphotovoltaic array as a renewable power source and a diesel generator as the conventional powersupplier. The battery storage is available as well as a dumping load. Cost per kW, batterycapacity, size of diesel generator, learning rate, among others can be mentioned as theparameters that might be modified to test the algorithm. Real datasets associated with solarradiation [9] and electrical

tolengthen the mask and a carriage return before and after to increase the height of the mask.Example 1 also used “explicit,ALL” for several calculations. In this case, the definingequation was used as a mask for the “explicit,ALL” words. Several problems can be seen inthe hf calculation. The numerical value for V was not substituted into the equation. Instead,the previous equation defining V in terms of Q and d was inserted and the numerical valuesfor Q and d displayed. In addition, the Darcy friction value previously calculated is notrounded in the “explicit,ALL” equation. Attempts to resolve these problems were notsuccessful.Solving Equations Analytically.

. Block diagram of the PXI communication system configured for wireless use.3 Educational Uses of the PXI SystemWhile inexpensive audio-band signal analyzer systems are useful at showing concepts of signalspectrum and I/Q modulation, the benefits of using a professional grade tool for displaying theproperties of real-world signals captured in real-time are difficult to understate. In the followingsections we provide a few examples of the many ways the PXI system can be used to enhanceclassroom teaching. We use the PXI system primarily as a classroom demonstrator as it’s cost(about $39K including educational discount) usually precludes purchasing one for every studentworkbench. However, the system can be used for some student lab exercises with
that is known to have properties such as being symmetrical (no skew) and kurtosis (clustering near the tails of the distribution) of zero. Examining normal Q-Q plots gives an indication of normality. Freidman’s ANOVA is a non-parametric test of whether more than two related groups differ that could compensate for non-normality. However, there are only two treatment groups in this study, so it cannot be performed if the assumption of normality is violated. Page 23.731.9INCORPORATING ENGINEERING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE 9 3.

For survey question # 1, senior-level ME 440 students were asked: “Of all the engineering classes that you have taken at thisuniversity, which do you feel was best at helping you with your technical writing skills? Brieflydescribe why you selected this course.” Survey question # 2 followed up by asking students tothen specify their choice of second best course which fit this criteria. Table 1 summarizes theanswers to Question # 1 (Q#1) and Question # 2 (Q#2), by tallying all of the courses mentioned,whether by course code, explicit course title or some combination of each.Table 1: Student responses to 5 point Likert-scale

Dr. Ralph Flori that introduced the concepts of shear flow and transverse and longitudinal shear stress. Dr. Flori was chosen to present the video lecture because he was not the Mechanics of Materials instructor for any of these students; therefore, a possible source of experimental bias was eliminated. In addition to the presentation of the pertinent theory, Dr. Flori also worked a simple example illustrating how to calculate the first moment of area Q. (4) Example Problems: After the 10-minute lecture, two additional example problems were presented to each student, in one of three possible formats: (a) One-third of the students viewed a video lecture showing a professor (again, Dr. Ralph Flori
the polarities of the Potential and under what condition work is done on the charges as against by the charges. Q. Potential difference from point C to F is 1.65 V. It takes 2.56 nJ to move 6x109 protons from A to C. How much work needs to be done to move 3x108 electrons from F to A?2) concept: Polarity of voltage sources In this example the conventional polarity notation scheme in voltage sources is clarified. In a circuit diagram, terminals of voltage sources denoted by + or – does not necessarily indicate that it is at positive or negative potential, rather the terminal denoted by + is at a higher potential than that denoted by – . Both terminals can be in reality at positive, negative or a combination

Now, we can easily reinforce the intuitive understanding of aseries’ convergence by having students use the calculator to explore the quality ofapproximations numerically and graphically by comparing partial sums.Variable Resistor.3 The charge q (t ) on the capacitor in a simple RLC circuit is governed by theequation Lq ''(t ) + Rq '(t ) + C1 q (t ) = E (t ) , where L is the inductance, R the resistance, C thecapacitance, and E the electromotive force. Since the resistance of a resistor increases withtemperature, let’s assume that the resistor is heated so the resistance at time t is R (t ) = 1 + t 10ohms. Let’s also assume that L = 0,1 henrys, C = 2
another. One defining characteristic of an ODE is thatits derivatives are a function of one independent variable. The order of a differential equationis defined as the order of the highest derivative appearing in the equation and ODE can be ofany order. A general form of a first-order ODE can be written in the formdy/dx + p(x)y + q(x) + r = 0where p(x) and q(x) are functions of x. This equation can be rewritten as shown belowd/dx(y) +y p(x) = - q(x) - rwhere r is zero. A classical integrating factor method can be used for solving this lineardifferential equation of first order. The integrating factor is (exp)^∫p dx.Euler MethodGraphical methods produce plots of solutions to first order differential equations of the form y’ = f(x,y), where the
