The case provides a useful example that illustrates the inaccuracies oftextbook estimating techniques, in some circumstances.Introduction:Algae is an alternative and advantageous source of biomass for biodiesel production, with arealistic potential per-acre yield of perhaps 200 barrels per acre per year, well beyond that ofcompeting crops. The same algae crop can produce carotenoids as a by-product, enhancing itsfinancial attractiveness. Because inputs include carbon dioxide and farm waste, algaeproduction can mitigate pollution. Algae can be produced in open ponds or in continuous flowclosed systems. Closed

A multipurposebioinformatics laboratory will be established to support the described curriculum, research, andout-reach activities.The successful implementation of this program could serve as a stepping stone to establish aminor/major program in bioinformatics at FVSU in the near future.

Social Network Structure and Co-Authored Papers Between Men and Women EngineersAbstract The interactions between humans have been described in a variety of ways, one of whichis using network analysis. It is known that men and women interact differently and, as such, thedynamics between men and women may have an impact on their work. This paper examines thedifferences between how men and women engineers interact by performing a social networkanalysis of the co-authorship of conference papers. Understanding these interactions will giveinsight to how professionals network and how these networks form.

Project and time management: Prior to the capstone course, many students have not developed adequate time management skills to handle a year-long project. In typical classes, students are kept on track through the regular submission of coursework and scheduled exams. Except for the initial research phase of design, regularly scheduled coursework is not conducive to the iterative design process that occurs in real life and in the capstone course. For this reason, many students have a hard time staying on track, and find themselves scrambling during the last half of the second
