of bacteria, i.e., methanotrophs. The laboratory study is conducted as follows:in sterilized serum bottles, methanotrophic bacteria in the exponential growth phase areinoculated in a Milli-Q water-based medium containing nitrate, other key nutrients (P, K, Na,Mg, Ca, etc.), and selected trace metals. The primary substrates, methane and oxygen, are thenintroduced and each bottle is placed on a shaker-table for incubation. Gas samples areperiodically withdrawn from the headspace of each bottle and manually injected into a gaschromatograph to measure the concentrations of methane, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Thisallows students to monitor the amount of substrates consumed and the amount of end productproduced at different time points. Students

with which the physicsand phenomena of the process are identified and engineering science concepts placed into a modelstructure simply by declaration. Such declarations are made through use of our new software thatassembles the phenomena declared, builds the equations, and solves the equations numerically. Thesoftware is novel and unique; ModelLA is its name. With a functioning model, students can examineits characteristics and use such quantitative information to solve the engineering problem posed. Following such an encounter with the cause and effect among variables, students are muchbetter prepared than they were at the outset to write equations for the model. Through Q and A in aworkshop session, the instructor leads the students

coordinate conditions are at y =0 a prescribed heat flux and at y = b a specified temperature condition. The boundary conditionmodifier (B21) on the y-coordinate at y = 0 the prescribed heat flux is a function of time q(t) =ct and the boundary condition at y = a is a non-zero specified temperature. Once a problem iscategorized, one may then select the appropriate Green’s Function solution. There also exists asupplement to Beck’s book that categorizes the solutions in Carslaw and Jeager [3] with thesame system. A Green’s Function may be determined for these problems as well.This paper continues with a description of the Nusselt number correlation classification system.Then two tools to utilize the system are presented, a PC DOS program and a web

Well-known standard analysis techniques areavailable6 for predicting the magnitude and phase angle of the response for a system withthe transfer function in Equation 6, assuming a sinusoidal input.

In addition,water evaporates from the wet alveolar membranes to saturate the air in the lungs prior toexpiration.

A good academic leader should set high values and standards for studentsto aspire to. One leader argued: “Leadership mindset in a group-based task; Excellence, wisdom and inclusiveness.”Lastly, a fundamental quality of a leader is the willingness to listen. This quality translates wellto a classroom. Listening and responding to student questions can open the room up for morediscussions and flow of ideas
