7/31/2019: Course Change Form BUSN 779
No full textThe addition of MGMT-510: Foundations of Business as an alternative to satisfy pre-requisites
8/28/2019: Course Change Form MECH 582
No full textKettering University is eliminating 500 course numbers due to HLC concerns about our 500 level courses. Since our 500 level courses are defined as mezzanine they are not considered to be graduate courses by HLC. This puts a limit on how many 500 level courses a graduate student can take in the graduate program. According to HLC they cannot take more than five 500 courses. The Course Number is being changed to MECH-482 and an advanced version of the course MECH682 will be offered for graduate students
5,7,3′,4′-Hydroxy substituted flavonoids reduce the heme of cytochrome c with a range of rate constants
No full textFlavonoids are antioxidants known to be abundant in edible plants. Seven 5,7,3′,4′-tetrahydroxy substituted flavonoids representing each major flavonoid class were used as cytochrome c reductants to systematically investigate the redox role of their C-rings. Additional examples of flavonoids and benzenediols were investigated to better understand the role of the B-ring. Pseudo-first order rate constants (k obs )and apparent bimolecular rate constants (k app )values were calculated from spectroscopic measurements. Of the seven flavonoids tested, five yielded measurable observed reduction rate constants. Butein (a chalcone)had the highest apparent bimolecular rate constant (k app ), followed by taxifolin (a flavanonol), catechin (a flavanol), eriodictyol (a flavanone), and luteolin (a flavone). Quercetin (a flavonol)and cyanidin (an anthocyanidin), however, reduced cytochrome c but k app rate constants were unable to be calculated. Neither this trend nor trends in observed rate constants correlated with flavonoid pK a , solvent accessible surface area, polar surface area, reduction potential, antioxidant ability, resonance, or radical scavenging efficiency. Weak correlation, however, was found with degrees of freedom and the number of redox involved electrons. While some cytochrome c reduction rates have been reported, this study is the first to systematically investigate the role of the structure of the flavonoid C-ring across a full set of flavonoids with identical B-rings
Structural Health Monitoring of Wind Turbines Using a Digital Image Correlation System on a UAV
No full textUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently emerged as a robust tool for remote inspection and data acquisition at places that are either inaccessible or riskier to perform measurements. To quantify the level of strain/stress and loading conditions that the rotating structures such as wind turbine experience during operation, an approach is proposed that can perform a nondestructive evaluation of these rotating structures using non-contact, three-dimensional (3D) digital image correlation (DIC). This technique addresses the benefit of non-interference with structure functionality and can be used for rotating or non-rotating structures. In this project, a synchronized set of a stereo camera system is used to acquire the images of a rotating turbine. These images are processed to obtain displacement, geometry, and strain over the wind turbine blades during deformation
