Cs 1000: Technology And Society, John A. Reisner

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

What impact does technology have on society? As technology plays a greater role in our everyday lives, this becomes an increasingly important question. We have seen unprecedented advances over the past few decades, but sometimes benefits can be offset by unforeseen consequences and repercussions (such as privacy concerns, identity theft, or safety). The goal of this course is to evaluate the consequences of technological advances on individuals, organizations, and society, and identify potential benefits and limitations, by examining and discussing and how social, ethical, legal and philosophical repercussion impact society.

Transient Turbine Engine Modeling With Hardware-In-The-Loop Power Extraction, Michael W. Corbett, Peter T. Lamm, Philip R. Owen, S. Danny Phillips, Mark J. Blackwelder, J. Timothy Alt, John M. Mcnichols, Michael A. Boyd, Mitch Wolff

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

Increasingly high aircraft power demands require that the interactions between an aircraft’s electrical subsystem and the engine subsystem be considered in dynamic, systemlevel tests. Traditionally, system-level dynamics have only been captured in completely assembled aircraft systems. Component-level or subsystem-level optimization is no longer appropriate because highly interdependent dynamics between subsystems only become apparent during system-level analysis. In an effort to reduce the high cost of testing integrated power and propulsion systems in an altitude-simulating wind tunnel, alternatives such as modeling and simulation are considered. Synchronizing and coupling simulations of vastly different time scales is possible, but the resulting system simulation …

Novel Platform Development Using Assembly Of Carbon Nanotube, Nanogold And Immobilized Rna Capture Element For Rapid, Selective Sensing Of Bacteria, Elizabeth I. Maurer, Kristen K. Comfort, Saber M. Hussain, John J. Schlager, Sharmila M. Mukhopadhyay

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

This study examines the creation of a nano-featured biosensor platform designed for the rapid and selective detection of the bacterium Escherichia coli. The foundation of this sensor is carbon nanotubes decorated with gold nanoparticles that are modified with a specific, surface adherent ribonucleiuc acid (RNA) sequence element. The multi-step sensor assembly was accomplished by growing carbon nanotubes on a graphite substrate, the direct synthesis of gold nanoparticles on the nanotube surface, and the attachment of thiolated RNA to the bound nanoparticles. The application of the compounded nano-materials for sensor development has the distinct advantage of retaining the electrical behavior …

Interfacial Friction Between Semiflexible Polymers And Crystalline Surfaces, Nikolai V. Priezjev

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

The results obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of the friction at an interface between polymer melts and weakly attractive crystalline surfaces are reported. We consider a coarse-grained bead-spring model of linear chains with adjustable intrinsic stiffness. The structure and relaxation dynamics of polymer chains near interfaces are quantified by the radius of gyration and decay of the time autocorrelation function of the first normal mode. We found that the friction coefficient at small slip velocities exhibits a distinct maximum which appears due to shear-induced alignment of semiflexible chain segments in contact with solid walls. At large slip velocities, the friction …

Current Trends Of Fmri In Vision Science: A Review, Nasser H. Kashou

Studying brain functional activities is an area that is experiencing rapid interest in the field of neuroimaging. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has provided vision science researchers a powerful and noninvasive tool to understand eye function and correlate it with brain activities. In this chapter, we focus on the physiological aspects followed by a literature review. More specifically, to motivate and appreciate the complexity of the visual system, we will begin with a description of specific stages the visual pathway, beginning from the distal stimulus and ending in the visual cortex. More importantly, the development of ascending visual pathway will …

This course is concerned with the techniques of designing and constructing large programs. Some of the required basic concepts necessarily have to be developed using small programs as examples. To this extent, we also study programming-in-the-small. The overall objectives are to present an overview of issues in the development of software, to discuss terminology, to illustrate via example case studies, and to give sufficiently detailed advice on how to develop quality software and present a way of communication via UML. Hands-on experience is emphasized through the use of homework and a class project.
