This course covers the fundamental concepts of structural mechanics with applications to marine, civil, and mechanical structures. Topics include analysis of small deflections of beams, moderately large deflections of beams, columns, cables, and shafts; elastic and plastic buckling of columns, thin walled sections and plates; exact and approximate methods; energy methods; principle of virtual work; introduction to failure analysis of structures. We will include examples from civil, mechanical, offshore, and ship structures such as the collision and grounding of ships.

Rating
0.0 stars

In this activity, students learn about creating a design directly from a CAD (computer-aided design) program. They will design a tower in CAD and manufacture the parts with a laser cutter. A competition determines the tower design with the best strength:weight ratio. Students also investigate basic structural truss concepts and stress concentrations. Partnership with a local college or manufacturing center is necessary for the completion of this project.

Trauma-Informed School Practices: Building Expertise To Transform Schools
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This textbook represents the combined insight and experience of Morton, a k12 educator, and Berardi, a psychotherapist, both of whom are also university educators with extensive work experience serving districts and their teachers seeking to incorporate trauma-informed principles into their school culture and classroom. The authors identify that the field of education is now ready to deepen its level of response to the paradigm shift created by advances in neuroscience and traumatology. Hence, the primary focus is on identifying and applying trauma-informed educator competencies needed to transform districts, schools, educators, classrooms, and the field of education itself, while also including community members such as parents and board members in these processes - a total system makeover. At the conclusion of this text, the student, educator, or mental health professional will have a deeper understanding of what trauma-informed practice requires of them. This includes practical strategies on how to transform our learning communities in response to the devastating effect of unmitigated stress and trauma on our student's ability to learn and thrive throughout the lifespan.

Two possible ways to prevent hepatitis C infection from causing chronic liver disease
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus is a major cause of chronic liver disease, even after the virus has been eradicated by antiviral treatment. The problem appears to lie in the lingering activation of harmful Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which active viruses exploit for replication. A new study suggests the enzyme PKA could play a role. PKA is part of a signaling cascade that is activated during hepatitis C infection. To determine its role, researchers prevented PKA activation by treating cells with a PKA inhibitor. Inhibition was found to be beneficial. Inhibiting PKA reduced cells’ capacity to support both the hepatitis C virus and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, as mediated by another enzyme, GSK-3β. Interestingly, similar benefits were observed when another harmful effect of viral infection was repressed, namely, endoplasmic reticulum stress..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

The basic objective of Unified Engineering is to give a solid understanding of the fundamental disciplines of aerospace engineering, as well as their interrelationships and applications. These disciplines are Materials and Structures (M); Computers and Programming (C); Fluid Mechanics (F); Thermodynamics (T); Propulsion (P); and Signals and Systems (S). In choosing to teach these subjects in a unified manner, the instructors seek to explain the common intellectual threads in these disciplines, as well as their combined application to solve engineering Systems Problems (SP). Throughout the year, the instructors emphasize the connections among the disciplines.
