An Instructional Design Coordinator is a person who is responsible for overseeing the implementation of instructional design techniques, usually in an academic setting or in corporate training. Instructional design became popular in the 1930s, when the United States was developing new instructional techniques, as the need for rapidly training soldiers in a multitude of technical fields rose sharply during World War II. Since then, instructional designers have come up with new and innovative techniques to facilitate learning, using the most advanced technology available to them. Today, instructional design coordinators employ modern technology, such as the Internet, to implement the techniques developed by instructional designers and...

The U.S. military requires the ability to rapidly deploy troops, equipment, and materials anywhere in the world. Recent operations have brought attention to the need to utilize austere, unsurfaced, and sometimes sub-standard airfields within a theater of interest. These airfields may require additional taxiways and aprons. One option for the rapid construction of such is airfield matting systems. The focus of the work for this thesis was commercially available airfield matting systems to support large military transport aircraft, such as the C-17. Several test sections with differing strength soils were built with chosen mats tested in an elimination method, using a load cart that simulates contingency loading of one main gear of the...

Differences in product requirements mean packaging often needs special features like child resistance or vacuum sealing. Often these types of specialist packaging cause problems to those with reduced strength or dexterity. The inability to perform the most basic of tasks needed for daily living is a situation that demands research. A device has been designed to measure the loads involved in the opening of child-resistant closures. By replicating the characteristics of these products and integrating force measurement devices, a device has been designed that can measure the isolated loads from each point of contact that is involved in gripping and opening a child-resistant bottle.

There are a lot of motivations to make research in the automotive field: safety, comfort, performance and other related issues. Vehicle Safety Technology (VST) is a term used by the automotive industry applied to technologies focused on ensuring safety and performance of vehicle. Analyzing the overall driver task we may observe that it is non trivial from a control viewpoint: the driver directly controls only one state variable (or one combination of them) by the front steering angle (the yaw rate when he is negotiating a turn or the lateral deviation, which is directly related to the lateral speed, when he is performing an overtaking); the lateral speed steady state value changes with longitudinal speed; the lateral speed transfer...

Direct pests such as the codling moth and the oriental fruit moth are a severe problem in apple cultivation. Today, these kind of pests are being control with a variety of control methods, including chemical control, mating disruption and the use of natural antagonists. H. palliuds is a parasitic wasp that has the ability to enter the infested fruit and to parasitize the larva inside the apple, thus resulting in a reduction of the pest population level. H. pallidus parasitizes the codling moth and the oriental fruit moth equally well inside an apple and can therefore be applied as to combat both pests species. Furthermore, it can be cold stored for a certain period of time without loosing its parasitism capacity. As a result, H. palliuds...

GPS is being widely used in land vehicles to provide positioning information. However, in urban canyons, rural tree canopies, and tunnels, the GPS satellite signal may be blocked. To obtain positioning solution during GPS outages, GPS can be augmented with an inertial navigation system (INS). However, the utilization of full inertial measurement unit (IMU) containing three gyroscopes and three accelerometers in land vehicles could be quite expensive. This book discusses the new research trend that explores the utilization of the low cost reduced inertial sensor systems (RISS). The case study discussed in this book considers single-axis gyroscope and an odometer to be integrated with GPS to provide full 2D positioning solution. The...

Integrated services digital network is a set of communications standards enabling traditional telephone lines to carry voice, digital network services, and video. Prior to ISDN, the phone system was viewed as a way to transport voice, with some special services available for data. The key feature of the ISDN is that it integrates speech and data on the same lines, adding features that were not available in the classic telephone system. There are several kinds of access interfaces to ISDN defined as basic rate interface, primary rate interface and broadband ISDN. ISDN is a circuit-switched telephone network system, which also provides access to packet switched networks, designed to allow digital transmission of voice and data over...

The integration and test phases that are part of the development and manufacturing of complex manufacturing systems are costly and time consuming. As time-to-market is becoming increasingly important, it is crucial to keep these phases as short as possible, while maintaining system quality. This is especially true for the time-to-market driven semiconductor industry and for companies providing manufacturing systems to this industry such as ASML, a provider of lithographic systems. This book describes three methods that can be used to reduce cost and time during these integration and test phases. These methods are: 1) a method to construct an optimal test plan with respect to time, cost and/or quality, 2) a method to construct an optimal...

Many problems in tracking control have been identified over the years, such as the availability of systems states, the presence of noise and system uncertainties, and speed of response, just to name a few. This research is concerned with developing novel integrated control and estimation algorithms to overcome some of these problems in order to achieve an efficient tracking performance. Since there are some significant advantages associated with Sliding Mode Control (SMC) or Variable Structure Control (VSC), (fast regulation rate and robustness to uncertainties), this research reviews and extends new filtering concepts for state estimation, referred to as the Variable Structure Filter (VSF) and Smooth Variable Structure Filter (SVSF)....

Integrity of petroleum wells requires sealing off the casing/welbore annulus with cement to prevent migration of fluids. Leak-off test (LOT) is an in- situ method for testing casing shoe integrity. A conventional analysis of LOT data assumes elastic wellbore and involves finding the upper limit of linear relationship between the recorded pressure vs. pumped volume. However, LOT data from offshore well sections in shallow marine sediments (SMS) are inherently nonlinear and their analysis is a problem. Presented here is a study into the mechanism and effect of LOT on integrity of the casing shoe in SMS. The study begins with review of available leak- off pressure field data from SMS comparing to data from deep well sections. Then, using...

Based on the idea of self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols on gold, it was the goal of this thesis to develop a versatile model system for an efficient and straightforward characterization of cell - biomaterial interactions on PEG-rich surfaces. The necessary compounds for this model system should allow for mimicking the surface of polymeric poly(ethylene glycol)-rich biomaterials used for the design of cell carriers. By evaluating the adsorption of proteins and the adhesion characteristics of mammalian cells on these artificial surfaces, conclusions can be drawn, on how polymers should be engineered to achieve an optimal adhesion, growth or proliferation of cells. In particular, the consequences of an attachment of peptidic cell...

Simple systems, software or hardware, can be tested easily. Nowadays, simple systems do not exist anymore and testing becomes a real problem. Often, testing is considered in isolation, while the moment that testing can start is defined by the moment that the module is delivered. Delivered modules need to be assembled into the rest of the system, before testing can start. This book starts with the assumption that integration (assembly) and testing cannot be seen apart from each other. Strategies for integration and strategies for the individual test tasks can not be seen apart from each other when integration and test tasks are mixed. A framework is introduced, in this book, that can be applied for integration and testing problems in...
