Two methods, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, for controlling emissions have become widely used, either independently or together, meeting increasingly stringent regulations worldwide. Each of these systems is designed the primary pollutant including matter (PM) DPF nitrogen oxides (NOx) SCR. However, there been growing concerns regarding secondary reactions that aftertreatment may promote, involving unregulated species emissions. This study...
In the field of biomechanics, optical motion tracking systems are commonly used to record human and assist in surgical navigation. Recently, have been track implant bone on a micron-level. The present study evaluated four different Optotrak® determine precision, repeatability accuracy under static testing conditions. distance between camera rigid body, as well tilt angle did affect resulting systems. precision repeatability, calculated within-trial between-trial standard deviations,...

Abstract Traditional engineering education often falls short when it comes to the inclusion of issues related social justice, ethics, and globalization. While programs are required include ethics content for accreditation, most seem rely primarily on general electives, providing only a high-level overview including bare minimum in program core. This can lead an inconsistent student experience minimal exposure topics which critically important achieving worldwide equity operating responsibly...
Diesel particulate filters are designed to reduce the mass emissions of diesel matter and have been proven be effective in this respect. Not much is known, however, about their effects on other unregulated chemical species. This study utilized source dilution sampling techniques evaluate a catalyzed filter wide spectrum from heavy-duty engine. The species analyzed included both criteria compounds such as (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), inorganic ions, trace metallic compounds,...
The effects of a zeolite urea-selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system on comprehensive spectrum chemical species from diesel engine emissions were investigated in this study. Representative samples collected with newly developed source dilution sampling after an aging process designed to simulate atmospheric and cooling conditions. Samples analyzed established procedures compared between the measurements taken baseline heavy-duty also same equipped exhaust system. results...
Abstract In this paper several projects that integrate globalization issues into undergraduate engineering and technology coursework are discussed. The Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders brings entrepreneurs to United States campuses six weeks every summer, providing an excellent opportunity identify potential clients global class projects. university’s faculty partnered with fellows on in freshman Impacts of Engineering, junior Lean Manufacturing, senior Capstone Design...
<ns4:p>In the 21st Century, research is increasingly data- and computation-driven. Researchers, funders, larger community today emphasize traits of openness reproducibility. In March 2017, 13 mostly early-career leaders who are building their careers around these came together with ten university (presidents, vice presidents, provosts), representatives from four funding agencies, eleven organizers other stakeholders in an NIH- NSF-funded one-day, invitation-only workshop titled "Imagining...

Through the use of a cadaveric porcine model, forces necessary for manipulation abdominal organs were evaluated using an instrumented probe. Additionally, tissue puncture, knot tightening, and suture breakage have been measured in order to determine requirements placed upon design novel robotic surgical tools. The break variety sizes types including 3-0 through 7-0 polypropylene, size 1 polybutestor, 4-0 chromic gut, 6-0 braided polyester. Tests puncture force tightening carried out same...
A comparative analysis was made on the emissions from a 2004 and 2007 heavy-duty diesel engine to determine how new technologies have affected chemical compounds found in exhaust gases. Representative samples were collected source dilution sampling system analyzed for both criteria unregulated gaseous particulate emissions. Results shown that regulations compliant technology not only reduced specifically regulated pollutants, but also significantly majority of species. It is believed these...
<ns4:p>In this article, we describe our views on the benefits, and possible downsides, of openness in engineering research. We attempt to examine issue from multiple perspectives, including reasons motivations for introducing open practices into an researcher's workflow challenges faced by scholars looking do so. Further, present thoughts reflections role that research can play defining purpose activities university. have made some specific recommendations how public university recommit push...
Background: The application of continuum manipulators as assistive robots is discussed and tested through the use Bendy ARM, a simple manually teleoperated tendon driven manipulator prototype.
