MEMS Accelerometers as Acoustic Pickups
No full textMEMS sensors are in our cars, phones, PCs, cameras, and a variety of other applications but until now, they've never been attached to a guitar. The authors seek to answer the question: Can you use a MEMS accelerometer as an acoustic transducer? This article is a great overview of the principals of how a MEMS Accelerometer functions and monitors g-forces. The article describes some of the key technologies deployed in MEMS accelerometer products and discusses how this technology can bring a new dimension to acoustic transducers
Saturn
No full textThis site solely discusses Saturn and the topics related to it. Some of the issues touched on include: the atmosphere, interior, and surface of Saturn, its magnetosphere, myths, its moons and rings, missions made, and the latest news. There are also many pictures and links to additional websites to find more information. The site is also available in Spanish
Stellar Evolution
No full textThis site discusses hydrostatic balance, radiation pressure, and gravity and how these things affect the evolution of a star based on its mass. There are three sections that talk about the mass criteria, lifetime, and evolution on the H-R diagram of red dwarfs, mid mass stars, and high mass stars. This site ends with a short quiz
USDA: The Census of Agriculture
No full textThe United States Department of Agriculture has the results of the 2007 Census of Agriculture now available on its website. Unlike the ten-year census of all people, the census of agriculture occurs every five years. But what exactly is counted in an agriculture census, you might ask? By looking at the USDA website under the Census Highlights section in the middle of the homepage, visitors can get a taste of what data is collected. "Farm Numbers", "Women Farmers", "Demographics", "Watersheds" and a number of farmers of different ethnic groups, such as "Asian Farmers", "Black Farmers" "Hispanic Farmers" and "American Indian Farmers" are all presented. Also, a few special surveys, which are linked at the bottom of the page address organic farming production and the use of irrigation in farming and ranching. Visitors interested in historical agricultural census data can find it on the left side of the page. The "Historical Years" link has data in ten year increments from 1840-1950, the later dates providing a wider range of data. Also on the left side of the page is a drop down box that allows users to search for census information for a particular state
High School Outreach in Biotechnology; Graphics Engineering
No full textThe ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV focuses on recruiting high school students into biotechnology fields and drafting and graphics engineering, a field which combines "artistic skills like drawing with math and science." The video can be viewed whole or in two segments: "Bringing Biotechnology to High Schools" and "Drafting and Graphics Engineering." The running time for the full episode is 8:16
Undergraduate Research Ethics Cases
No full textHow do you help undergraduate students learn about research ethics? Well you might try the three case studies developed by the University of Delaware's Undergraduate Science Education Program and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute designed to help students learn about this important subject. On this site, visitors will find the following studies: "Tripped Up," "Helping Hand," and "Organic Reactions." Each study describes a potentially tricky or nuanced ethical conundrum that an undergraduate student might encounter. For example, "Tripped Up" involves a student whose scientific results are "too hot for public consumption" and is told by his supervisor that he cannot present the findings at a national meeting. Each case study is complemented by a set of discussion questions and additional resources
