constant for compartment “i” from Jorgensen and Svirezhev [15]. The Beta coefficients were calculated based on the size of the typical genome of the organism representing the compartment. Equation 1 simulates the forgetting of new information within each compartment. Equation 2 Page 23.925.11simulates the forgetting of initial and new information. Equation 3 represents a control where noinformation is forgotten. The time constant (tc%i) at compartment “i” corresponds to effectiveness oflearning. The residence time (t%ij) corresponds to level of learning. The Beta coefficients (when not setequal to one) associated

fundamental instrumentation electronics. Instructional modules andexamples are also available at various web-sites for demonstrating and simulating electroniccircuits and responses. Many instrumentation textbooks cover analog and digital principles forinstrumentation but in different orders and formats (e.g. Johnson, 2006, Northrop, 1997).Reinforcement of principles and introduction to practical instrumentation and control examplesare offered through hands-on laboratory exercises, demonstrations, and preparation of a final teamproject. Laboratory exercises include experiments with temperature sensing, fluid flow,stress-strain, displacement, load-cell, ultra sound, and optical sensors. Computer interfacing withinstrumentation is presented and includes

AC 2007-1345: AN EVOLVING COURSE IN ECOLOGICAL THERMODYNAMICSErnest Tollner, University of Georgia-Athens Dr. Ernest W. Tollner is a native of Maysville, KY and received his BS and MS degrees in agricultural and biological engineering at the University of Kentucky. He did his doctorate in Biosystems engineering at Auburn. His graduate work was concerned with computer modeling erosion control, water resource development and animal waste management. This work provided the foundation for extension into composting, bioconversion and imaging research. Dr. Tollner was among the first to use tomographic scanning for charactering soils, food products and logs. Research over the past 25 years
