Virus Hunters Test New Surveillance Tools
No full textThis 2-page article from Science covers how virology researchers are testing surveillance tools to improve virus detection. The article describes specific methods being tested, including air sampling, "breath biopsy," dust collection, and use of physical objects to sample viral load. These sampling methods are used in viral hot spots such as live animal markets, farms, and bat caves to detect the prevalence of specific viruses, like the H1N1 influenza virus. The article describes the researchers' goal of improving viral surveillance to prevent pandemics. Specific initiatives, such as the Global Virome Project and the Human Breath Atlas, are discussed
UiS Subsea: Technical Report
No full textThis 29-page report, published by the University of Stavanger, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the UiS Subsea team for the Explorer Class of the 2023 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.The report begins with an abstract introducing UiS Subsea and their ROV. Following the abstract is an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, discussing aspects of its mechanical design and electrical system, including the manipulator arm, electronics housing, connectors, cameras, image processing, autonomous docking, and more. Additionally, the report covers safety, project management, cost planning, acknowledgments, and references.Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately
Training for NextGen Building Operators
No full textThis video from the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center features a presentation from Michael Bobker, Founding Director of the CUNY (City University of New York) Building Performance Lab. This presentation was given at the 2023 BAS (Building Automation Systems) Workshop, and focuses on considerations when training "incumbent building operators" in the use of BAS. Drawing on the example of the Building Performance Lab’s work to meet New York City’s workforce training needs, Bobker discusses building re-tuning (BRT), retro-commissioning, and implementing BRT training in virtual learning environments.This video runs 01:20:00 minutes in length.

Air Motors (Part 2 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture that examines pneumatic motors, discussing data interpretation and load induced pressure on air motor data sheets along with the construction of various air motors. This part of the lesson focuses on "how air motor data sheets account for different load induced pressures," followed by an examination of the internal construction of air motors, including vane style motors, turbine style motors, and piston style motors (radial and axial).This video runs 11:55 in length. The first part of the lecture is available to view separately
Dairy Waste to Power Video (5 of 5): Conclusion
No full textThis video, from the WPS Solarwise for Schools, is the fifth in a five-part series titled Dairy Waste to Power. This series discusses using dairy cow waste to make electricity through anaerobic digestion. This video concludes the series by providing a brief summary of anaerobic digestion as discussed in the other four videos. This video also compares cow waste to other biogas producing substances, like bakery waste, and discusses the use of biosolids to make fiberboard. This video slides contain discussion questions on the use of methane and biosolids. This video runs 06:59 minutes in length. The other videos in this series are available to view separately
How to Plan and Deliver Successful Professional Development Events
No full textThis resource, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), features two documents relating to the planning and execution of professional development events. The first document, titled How to Plan and Deliver Successful Professional Development Events, is a 32-page document that offers a best practice guide for the entire process of hosting a professional development event. CTC developed this guide through combining together into one place both internal staff process documents and formal conference presentations, sharing the National CTC's know-how in managing dozens of successful professional development events. This document contains the following sections: Overall Guiding Principles; Planning and Preparing; Hosting; Wrapping It All Up; Online Events. Each section contains a variety of subsections covering different aspects of their respective topics. The second document, How to Plan and Deliver Checklist, is a 5-page checklist mirroring the sections and subsections of the larger document
Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (UWROV): Technical Report
No full textThis 24-page report, provided by the University of Washington, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (UWROV) team for the Explorer Class of the 2023 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.The report begins with an abstract introducing UWROV and their ROV followed by a discussion of project management. Next, the report provides an overview of the construction of the team's ROV, highlighting the engineering design rationale, systems approach, vehicle structures, vehicle systems, control and electrical systems, and more. Also covered is equipment safety, operational safety, safety procedures, testing and troubleshooting, accounting, acknowledgments, and references. A systems integration design (SID) and the following appendices are included: Safety Checklists, Lab Safety Policy, and Cost Accounting.Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately
