Oncethe muscles are compromised, the creature is challenging to control. As an example, the syringes had to bereset frequently on leaking muscles because the air volume in the system would slowly decrease.Furthermore, actuating the syringes rapidly can be fairly exhausting for the operator after a while due to theamount of friction caused by this. The silicone tubing also can cause issues, specifically withmaneuverability, because the weight and elastic force caused by the tubes can affect the movement of thecreature.(b) Prototype ActuationBefore production of the McKibben creature, each team must first

However, the population that gained the highest boost in“confidence” was not the extremes in terms of GPA and course grade, but instead students closerto the median. In terms of student GPA, students with a GPA between 3.0 and 4.0 saw thelargest increase in confidence following interaction with the power demonstrator board.Similarly, students who earned a B or B+ in the course had the largest change in confidence;27% and 25% respectively.

Keeping in mind that lower altitudesare more ideal for planetary exploration, an altitude of 5km was chosen for further analysis. Figure1(b) presents the constraint analysis and solution space of the system at an altitude of 5 km. Thesolution space in Figure 1(b) provides the wing loading necessary for flight to be 30N/m2.

instructional technique. Another motivation was toprovide students with an "evaluation scale" they readily understood: the "A-B-C-D-F" grading scale. To clearlydelineate the "course" and "instructor" criteria, as well as to help focus students’ responses through the use ofsubsidiary questions, were additional factors motivating the design. Last, but certainly not least, was themotivation to clearly show how each calculation was performed, and to illustrate — in a graphical fashion —how a given course "stacked up" against other courses in its comparison group (and to clearly define the consti-tuents of each comparison group). A key challenge in the design of the new course & instructor evaluation instrument was not only thechoice of criteria

We found the system sensitivity of 6.4429 V/Degree, which meansevery 10 millidegree of rotation gives about 64.429 mV VDC output.

mixture contains two components: a solute (A) and a liquid solvent (B). The mixture is contacted in an agitated vessel with a second liquid solvent (C) that has two key properties: A dissolves in it, and B is immiscible or nearly immiscible with it. (For example, B may be water, C a hydrocarbon oil, and A a species that dissolves in both water and oil.) Some of the A transfers from B to C and then the B-rich phase (raffinate) and the C-rich phase (the extract) separate from each other in a settling tank. If the raffinate is then contacted with fresh C in another stage, more A will be transferred from it. This process can be repeated until essentially all of the A has been extracted from
