Introduction to Vacuum Technology - Learning Activity 9: Data for the Rate of Rise Curves with No Leak
No full textIn this video, published by Erie Community College, physics professor Elena Brewer conducts the pump-down process on a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) with an empty chamber and no leaks. Throughout the pump-down process, learners will document how long it takes for the atmospheric pressure in the chamber to reach 50 millitorrs and then collect data on the pressure as it rises again. Data collected from this video will be compared with two other pump-down datasets in activity nine to identify rough vacuum system leaks using rate-of-rise curves.The video corresponds with lessons in a student lab manual and instructor guide that accompanies the Introduction to Vacuum Technology E-book. This textbook provides an introduction to vacuum technology and science, and features topics curated to the needs of technicians in a production environment. The guides include student questions and a data table corresponding to the video.The video runs 7:51 minutes in length. The E-book, and related student and instructor guides, videos, and labs are available to view separately
Multicolor Antibody Staining of T Cells
No full textThis 13-page resource, from Frederick Community College is a standard operating procedure (SOP) for multicolor panel antibody staining of T Lymphocytes. The SOP outlines the purpose, scope, definitions, references, safety measures, responsibilities, materials and equipment involved in the procedure. Step-by-step procedures are provided for assessing the presence of a panel of antibodies on the surface of CD3 Jurkat cells to understand lymphocyte expression profiles accurately.Procedure steps include: confirming the cytometer is on and calibrated, preparing the sample, compensation control preparation, sample staining, setting the acquisition parameters on the cytometer, creating sample gating strategy on the cytometer, sample acquisition, data analysis, and exporting the data. Detailed steps are included
Coffee Break: Creating an Abstract
No full textIn this video, Pamela Silvers from Mentor Connect, provides information about creating an abstract for National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (NSF ATE) grant projects. Silvers covers the following topics: what is an abstract, when do you create an abstract, what are the components of an abstract, and how to find Mentor-Connect resources on abstracts. Silvers explains the purpose of abstracts as public descriptions of NSF awards, which are intended for a broad audience and differ from project summaries. Silvers emphasizes the importance of abstracts being publicly available and their distribution by the Office of Legislative and Public Affairs to various stakeholders, including members of Congress and the media. Silvers also offers guidance on the language, structure, and content of abstracts, providing examples and suggesting specific wording. This presentation equips grant applicants with the necessary tools to effectively communicate the significance and goals of their projects through concise and compelling abstracts.This video runs 5:44 minutes in length
Coffee Break: Facilities and Equipment
No full textIn the video, Pamela Silvers from Mentor-Connect, discusses the Facilities and Equipment document required for the National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education grant proposal submissions. Silvers emphasizes the document's importance, as it describes the physical and human resources provided by the organization and collaborators. The document covers facilities, major equipment, other resources like personnel, and unfunded collaborators. Silvers advises noting "not applicable" where necessary. Facilities details should include square footage and location. Major equipment should list items and their capabilities. Other resources encompass personnel like recruiters or administrative support, detailing their availability. Unfunded collaborators require a commitment letter. Silvers directs viewers to the Mentor-Connect library for more information and closes by inviting questions or suggestions via email.This video runs 02:44 minutes in length
