The activity has a certaingrade allocation associated with it for class participation. Each student will identify the source andevent (or news), location, how it is tied to the current course and its importance. The student willalso discuss quantification as applicable to the subject matter being taught. Students are alsoexpected to interpret the news or event as they see it and give their opinion (positive or negative).As noted, this is an exercise in critical thinking and data synthesis (students can discuss otherrelated events). The instructor publishes a schedule for all students. The News of the

The criterion for statistical significance was set to alpha = .05. Two low score outlierswere identified in the midterm scores of the simulation group for Instructor A and these outlierswere changed to the nearest higher value within the group, (Outliers were not changed to themean scores to retain the scoring pattern of the students in the group assuming from the scoringpattern that the students were low scorers.)

a function of RERHeat transfer through respiration Energy that is not used to perform external work is ultimately released as heat throughradiation, convection evaporation of sweat, and respiration. In this module, we are concernedwith the rate of heat transfer by respiration.During respiration, inspired air is warmed from ambient temperature to body temperature prior tobeing exhaled. In addition, water evaporates from the wet alveolar membranes to saturate the airin the lungs prior to expiration. The humid exhaled air removes heat from the body in the formof latent heat of vaporization. The rate of cooling (q, kcal/min) achieved through the process ofrespiration is

The non-phase-shifted version of the received signal is called the I (for “in-phase”)component. Note that the analytic signal z(t), defined as z(t) = I(t) + jQ(t) (3)contains only positive frequency components. An important learning step for our studentsis to realize that they must account for the group delay of this FIR filter in order to alignthe I component with the Q component of the AM signal. At this

When C goes low, the data that was present in the latch is retained on the Q outputsregardless of any of the D input. The ALE bus is connected to the C input of the 74HCT573integrated circuit. When the ALE key is pressed, the ALE bus goes high and the LSB of theaddress on the address-data bus is passed through the transparent latches to the address inputsA0-A7 of the 2816. When the ALE button is released, the address is retained at the A0-A7inputs. The address-data bus is then free to pass data to or from the 2816 I/O pins.

One final recommendation was to make the program longer in order tofacilitate the peer building process (four days was too rushed). Finally, a student expressedconcern that the program overlapped with the freshman priority enrollment time. The studentcould never fully relax during the program because he/she was worried about not getting theclasses of his/her choice. Feedback from the participants about the various workshops consistently reported not havingenough question and answer (Q&A) time.

Some of the analysis problems were related to how the input loads andrestraints were determined, rather than the use of the software itself. During the Q/A session,some groups had difficulty justifying the reasons for some of their decisions related to theiranalysis. It should also be noted that the high standard deviation for “Goals/Criteria” was due tothe lack of clarity in the purpose of the analysis (i.e. with respect to their optimization) by two ofthe groups.

Models can also be used for system identification. For example, if you have measured pressure and flow data you may interpret the physiological status of the cardiovascular system in terms of resistance and capacitance. The model that you completed in class calculate the arterial pressure, P a (t), given measured volumetric flow rate, Q i (t) and parameter values R and C. As a first step, adapt the code to create a plot of the measured P a (t) and modeled P a (t) using the measured data from Example1.txt file (Patient 1). After you adapt the code, alter
