andtechnical human capital (S&T human capital) [15] as a model to study research collaboration [1],[16], [17]. S&T human capital is defined as the sum of individual’s knowledge, skills, resources,and her professional linkages and networks [15]. With such a model, the concept of collaborationmay go beyond the state of individual partnership and include the entire research team or eventhe research field. However, even these approaches are not often concerned with the quality ofcollaboration and relationships between individuals.Indeed the nature of collaboration cannot be explored unless we go beyond the quantitativemeasures of collaboration to examine the process in addition to outcome.

The study found that the population of thestudent body existed that had not experienced a natural disaster and were unaware of its impactseither on a personal or familial basis. Further, the majority of the responding students felt that theirmajor(s) and universities did not prepare them in terms of handling natural disasters and extremeweather events. Finally, a correlation was found between the location students live and a desire forknowledge about extreme weather events at

For example, students maybe asked to collect and simulate data for one insert geometry and to focus on acomparison of the experimental and CFD results, as well as on the performance ofdifferent numerical schemes. Alternatively, the emphasis could be on comparing(experimentally and computationally) the performance of the two inserts. In all cases,experimental and computational pressure and velocity data is collected and analyzed.Table 1 lists sample velocity data collected for the original venturi insert at an inletvelocity of 28.45 ft/s.

There are two SAE standards: J1739 is for automotive, andARP5580 is the aerospace recommended practice.The SAE J1739 standard identifies the intended use of FMEA as a “before-the-event” way toreduce the probability of needing corrective action for failure modes after the process or productis implemented 4.

Furthermore, based on a Pew Hispanic Center report, Friedrich and Cabrera (2012) andCrisp and Nora (2006) state that “Cuban students are the only Hispanic group who areperforming on par with white students, while Mexicans, the largest Latino group in the nation,tend to have lower achievement than other Hispanics” (p. 8).

The Best-First algorithm, described above, is a goal-directed andknowledge-based algorithm, that is, both S and G are defined prior to navigation of the course.The objective being to move from S to G through a series of obstacles without colliding with theobstacles. The algorithm is implemented by having the robot traverse the Y component of itsgoal vector first. Reaching the Y component of its goal the robot then traverses the X componentof it goal vector. 1In order to reset and initiate all systems the Robot is placed at S and is pointed to the east oralong , what has been designated, the positive X axis.
