Example, a lab dealingwith the competition for resources between different species has this question: “A new FFRchain opens a restaurant one block from an established restaurant B. If the new one offersexactly the same menu and services as B, what do you think will happen and why? What doesthis suggest to you about the chances of a particular group of fish that swim up a river into a lakeand attempts to establish itself?” Labs leave open the possibility for further investigationsthrough redesign to incorporate different hypotheses with changes in variables. The populationexperiment with yeast is one such example. “Further Investigations” asks for a change in avariable such as temperature. Problems at the end of the chapters require students to

health and safety are in jeopardy. As many international visitors have indicated, they can immediately spot a foreigner, especially an American, walking down a street. If the exchange is visiting a country that is economically struggling, the American visitor may be an inviting target for foul play. If sickness or injury does occur, are facilities available for treatment? Does the university, or the community, have adequate health services for treating most common problems? This is a very important consideration. Parents, who often bear the cost of exchange trips, want to be assured that it will be a safe trip. Careful planning and prudent faculty leaders can provide this assurance. B. Cost One of the goals in the establishment of an

The constraining effect in the present type of microstructureincreases with the increase in the volume fraction of martensite having a continuous networkenclosing ferrite phase.Typical fatigue fracture surface features for the microalloy steel at near threshold regions aregiven in Figure 2(b), 2(c), 2(e) and 2(f). At near thresholds, they are characterized bytransgranular/intergranular cleavage resulting from the coexistence of main crack and thebranched cracks. At the near threshold region, wherein the size of the crack becomes equal to orless than that of the grains, the fracture features are governed by

Using MATLABor MathCAD provides some advantages in teaching the Kalman algorithm since in thoselanguages the algorithm can fit on two pages even with extensive commenting, and the syntax ofthese languages does not obscure the structure of the algorithm.I. IntroductionKalman filtering1 is a widely used technique for process control and evaluation of mechanical,electrical, chemical, and medical systems2-12, but this technique is not often taught at anundergraduate level. This is unfortunate because issues such as instrument noise, system noise,and systems models are very important to working engineers, and Kalman filters provide

The organization of the school and the courses to beoffered are described. Each of the campuses of the UMass system (Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth,and Lowell) brings individual strengths to the program.

The challenges to creating meaningful on-line learningexperiences can be divided into two steps: (a) selecting meaningful activities to enrich learningand (b) managing those experiences effectively. The instructor always has to keep in mind theimplications of being separated from the learner in space and time.On-line instruction requires a great deal of thought, planning, and effort up-front. Thus, thefollowing systematic approach to development was followed.First, the instructors planned their instruction in a manner similar to a storyboard.
