Wine Modeling
The Wine simulation allows you to model the fermentation process and explore variables and their effects on winemaking. Students can probe the basic fermentation process. Enhancements such increased alcohol tolerance in cultivated yeasts used in modern wine making can be explored as well.
Developmental Signs Testing in Rat Pups
This dataset comes from a study of rats given one of 4 doses of a drug. The resulting pups were tested for developmental signs. Questions from this study refer to the relationship between dosage and developmental response. A text file version of the data is found in the relation link.
Bon Voyage to Bad Boating Habits
Students will learn about common boating-related threats to waterways. They will learn about the problems created in waterways by recreational boaters and discuss ways boaters can change their behaviors to reduce their impact on waterways. Students will also learn about the history of water pollution through a study of the Cuyahoga River. They will create a commercial to raise awareness about boating-related pollution. Exercises will also help students explore the reliability of information on t
Computer - Tool vs. Medium
We have arrived an important juncture in the history of computing in our profession: This history is long
enough to reveal clear trends in the use of computing, but not long to institutionalize them. As computers
peremate every area of architecture - from design and construction documents to project administration
and site supervision - can ?virtual practice? be far behind? In the old days, there were basically two ways
of architects working. Under stress. Or under lots more stress. Over time, s
Hot and Cold
What happens to a racquetball when it gets very cold? What happens to neon gas when it gets very hot? In this experiment, liquid nitrogen and Tesla coils are used to study the effects of extreme temperatures on everyday objects.

Thomas Jefferson, Scientist
Thomas Jefferson's passion for politics is rivaled only by his passion for science. Historic Interpreter Bill Barker shares his study of the third president.
An integrated system for computer-aided design and construction of reinforced concrete buildings usi
The study reported in this paper investigates the feasibility of automating the on-site construction of reinforced concrete residential buildings. The basic construction tasks are identified, analyzed and modified with a view towards potential for automation. Emphasis is placed on developing modular forms that facilitate automation. The majority of work in the field of construction robotics has focused on the adaptation of existing industrial robots to automate traditional construction processes
The Civil Rights Movement
In 1948, President Harry Truman took an early step towards civil rights reform by issuing Executive Order 9981, which eliminated racial segregation in the military. After World War II, African Americans ? then often called Negroes or "coloreds," began to mobilize against discrimination. They demanded an end to segregation and fought for equality in education, housing, and employment opportunities. The images in this topic show that by the 1960s, their struggle ? which began in the segregated Sou
Investigating the evolution of grain scale microstructure during large plastic deformation of polycr
Polycrystalline deformation and its modeling by currently used crystal plasticity
models has been investigated by means of experiments involving direct
measurement of deformation induced orientation changes. The experiments used a
polycrystalline aluminum sample with columnar grains, whose initial lattice
orientations were mapped using the Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIM)
technique. The sample was then deformed under (i) simple compression by 40%
along the axis of the columnar grains and (ii
Learning and using requirements representation notations by information technology professionals
This dissertation describes a unified system modeling approach and notation that accommodates the user view and a pilot study of the ability of information technology (IT) professionals to learn and use requirements notations to represent user interface requirements. The study mapped a non-user view requirements notation into a user-view requirements notation. In so doing, it showed that the issues and concerns of non-technical users could be integrated into the overall requirements for a system
α [Greek small letter alpha]-Nitrosulfones: Synthetic and mechanistic studies
Three-α-substituted nitroethylene derivatives were prepared in situ from phenylsulfonylnitromethane, α-nitroacetophenone, and ethyl nitroacetate and allowed to react with a series of dienes to yield the corresponding Diels-Alder cycloadducts. The same nitroethylene derivatives were also prepared from the corresponding β-sulfoxides via elimination. The β-sulfoxides were prepared from the corresponding β-sulfides which were in turn prepared by trapping the nitroethylene derivatives with thiop
Novel associated PVA/PVP hydrogels for nucleus pulposus replacement
Degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine is marked by a dehydration of theintervertebral disc and loss of biomechanical function of the spinal unit. Since thecurrent surgical procedures are ineffective in restoring natural biomechanical functionback to the diseased disc, researchers have looked to replace the intervertebral disc.These designs are flawed in that they either donâ t restore natural movement back to thespinal unit, require surgeries that are highly invasive, or they further p
Biomechanical evaluation of the intact, injured and surgically reconstructed ulnar collateral ligame
The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the elbow is a major passive stabilizer againstvalgus moments and is a frequent site of injury for the professional throwing athlete. Due to theimportance of the UCL in elbow stabilization, many clinical and biomechanical studies wereconducted in the past to understand its role; however, no study has evaluated the stabilizingfunction of the UCL when subjected to a pure valgus-varus moment at varying degrees of flexion.In addition, few comparative studies ha
