Abstract:
A major issue that directly affects the participation of Native Americans in the science and technology workforce is the lack of preparation in science and math. This lack of preparation has many causes, but one of the most strategically important issues is the lack of culturally relevant curricula that engage Native American students in learning science in personal, social and culturally meaningful ways. This essay explores the needs, issues, research, and development of culturally responsive science education for Native American learners. A curriculum model created by the author at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from 1974 to 1994 based on Native American cultural orientations is explored as a case study as one example of how to engage Native American students in science learning and become more prepared to participate in science and technology-related professions. As such, it presents a methodology for how trans-systemic work might be approached in building conceptual bridges between Indigenous and Western views of science.

Abstract China has attached a great significance to bringing science to the public—known as kepu (科普, ‘science popularization’) or kexue chuanbo (科学传播, ‘science dissemination’)—in recent years, partly in response to its unprecedented push for innovation in science and technology. In 2018, it spent 16 billion yuan (US$2.3 billion) on such endeavours, nearly 80% of which was government funding, according to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Science and Technology. With one science-education venue for every million people, approximately 76 million visits were made to the country's 518 general-science museums and 142 million visits were made to 943 museums dedicated to a specific subject matter, such as the Geological Museum of China. In a forum chaired by National Science Review’s executive editor-in-chief, Mu-ming Poo, scientists, journalists and public-information officers discussed the differences in science communication between China and developed nations, the challenges and opportunities of raising scientific literacy in China, how it has played out in a wide range of controversial topics, from stem-cell research to climate change, and the importance of international collaboration.

In the autumn of 1851, on the occasion of the American Institute of New York's annual fair, the Boston chemist and geologist Charles Jackson chose as the subject of his address the ‘Encouragement and Cultivation of the Sciences in the United States’. Playing on popular enthusiasm for science and technology, Jackson rehearsed the wondrous progress of the arts and the role of science in that progress. Science was the ‘Hand-maiden of the Arts’, and most assuredly the ‘maid of honor’, he declared, for science was the ‘progressive power’ which inspired new inventions. These were commonplace assumptions of the time, and surely no one in his audience would have disputed them.

Abstract:
ArgumentThis essay aims to broaden our understanding of relationships between art, science, and technology during the 1960s by juxtaposing two of the most important, and under-examined, figures of this period, the artist Gyorgy Kepes and the engineer Billy Klüver. While these two are generally linked due to their similarities, a closer examination demonstrates significant differences in their outlook. Comparing the organizations they nurtured, Kepes, the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Klüver, Experiments in Art and Technology, provides unique insight into the distinct origins of such organized collaborations between art, science, and technology. It reveals both how the cultural conditions of the 1960s contributed to the perceived need for such agencies and how interactions between art, science, and technology reflected, at once, the culmination of aspirations reaching back to the opening decades of the twentieth century, and a perceived break with the past.

Abstract:
An innovative process for fission based99Mo production has been developed under Isotope Technologies Dresden (ITD) GmbH (former Hans Wälischmiller GmbH (HWM), Branch Office Dresden), and its functionality has been tested and proved at the Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH), Islamabad. Targets made from uranium aluminum alloy clad with aluminum were irradiated in the core of Pakistan Research Reactor-1 (PARR-1). In the mean time more than 50 batches of fission molybdenum-99 (99Mo) have been produced meeting the international purity/pharmacopoeia specifications using this ROMOL-99 process. The process is based on alkaline dissolution of the neutron irradiated targets in presence of NaNO3, chemically extracting the99Mo from various fission products and purifying the product by column chromatography. This ROMOL-99 process will be described in some detail.

Abstract:
In 1950, General Motors chairman Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. approached MIT’s leaders about establishing a business school. The result was the School of Industrial Management (SIM), founded in 1952 and renamed in 1964 the MIT Sloan School of Management. During these early years the SIM’s leaders and faculty sought to create something extraordinary: a business school housed, grounded, and inspired by an institute of engi-neering and technology. They strived to apply new scientific techniques to the nascent field of industrial management and to American industrial firms that increasingly demanded rational, analytical, rigorously trained executives. They struggled to integrate the physical and social sciences into their education and research, helping to blaze a trail that long-established peers would not follow until the 1960s. And they strained to balance relevance with independence, colliding repeatedly with Sloan and other external advisors over a proper understanding of academic research, institutions, and cooperation with industry. By 1964 these efforts had developed a school at the forefront of business education’s “new look.” But as the extensive archival records demonstrate, it was never inevitable that they would succeed. Only by ongoing experimentation and agile diplomacy did the School become (in the words of the 1951 Deed of Gift) “a great center of research and education in the field of industrial management.” And although they helped transform management education through integrated, scientifically based study and teaching, the SIM’s deans, faculty, and leaders never found complete consensus on the extent to which industrial management was, in Alfred Sloan’s words, “a matter of science.”

Abstract:
As a freelance or a staff journalist, you will face at some point dread and insecurity as you wonder if the story ideas you're about to pitch to an editor are any good. We've all been there. There is no formula for coming up with that novel angle or fresh topic. But certain approaches and strategies can help you hone your nose for science news and root out interesting stories editors will want. First, scope out publications, both print and Web. If you've contemplated science journalism, then you have probably read the science and technology sections of major newspapers and leafed through the popular-science magazines on the newsstands. Familiarize yourself with the weeklies, such as New Scientist and Science News, as well as the news section of Science. Gain a greater depth by, for instance, reading review-type articles, such as those that appear in Scientific American, Nature's News and Views section, or the News & Commentary section of Science. Check out clearinghouses for press releases, such as Newswise, Eurekalert!, and PRNewswire. They send periodic e-mail alerts and maintain searchable websites. Some require that you have a published body of work before granting you access to certain privileged information (such as the contact numbers of researchers). Others may require that you obtain a letter from an editor. You can also subscribe to mailing lists of media relations offices at universities, medical centers, and other research institutions and sign up for various industry newsletters. When surfing the Web for science information, don't forget major government websites, such as those of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Institutes of Health, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, and the Department of Energy, which manages the national labs. Besides weapons work, the DOE labs—including Los Alamos, Brookhaven, Oak Ridge, and Lawrence Livermore—conduct research in both physical and biological sciences. Other worthwhile online resources include listservs and Web logs, but keep in mind that the ideas there are not vetted as they are in journals. Plus, you have to have the patience to get past the ranting and raving that can obscure good postings. For beginning science journalists, it may be best to follow blogs of well-respected researchers.

Abstract:
Presently available systems for sustainability assessment do not fully account for aspects related to a product’s manufacturing. In an effort to make more sustainable decisions, today’s industry seeks reliable methods to assess and compare sustainability for manufacturing. As part of the Sustainable Manufacturing program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), one of our objectives is to help develop the needed measurement science, standards and methodologies to evaluate and improve sustainability of manufacturing processes. As a first step towards developing standard reference sustainability characterization methodologies for unit manufacturing processes, in this paper we focus on injection molding with energy as the sustainability indicator. We present a science-based guideline to characterize energy consumption for a part manufactured using the injection molding process. Based on the study, we discuss the selection of process parameters and manufacturing resources, determination of cycle time, theoretical minimum energy computations, and estimated energy computations for characterizing the injection molding process.

Abstract:
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have measured the performance of a residential fuel cell system when subjected to various environmental and load conditions. The system, which uses natural gas as its source fuel, is capable of generating electrical power at three nominal power levels (2.5 kW, 4.0 kW, and 5.0 kW) while providing thermal energy for user-supplied loads. Testing was conducted to determine the influence of ambient temperature, relative humidity, electrical load, and thermal load on system performance. Steady-state and transient tests were conducted. The steady-state tests were performed in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) Fuel Cell Power Systems Performance Test Code (PTC-50) for fuel cell power systems. The results of the investigation are being used to develop a proposed rating procedure for residential fuel cell units.

Abstract A workshop on Challenges in Representing Manufacturing Processes for Systematic Sustainability Assessments, jointly sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, ASTM International, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, was held in College Station, Texas on June 21, 2018. The goals of the workshop were to identify research needs supporting manufacturing process characterization, define limitations in associated education practices, and emphasize on challenges to be pursued by the advanced manufacturing research community. An important aspect surrounded the introduction and development of reusable abstractions of manufacturing processes (RAMP), which are standard representations of unit manufacturing processes to support the development of metrics, methods, and tools for the analysis of manufacturing processes and systems. This paper reports on the workshop activities and findings, which span the improvement of engineering education, the understanding of process physics and the influence of novel materials and manufacturing processes on energy and environmental impacts, and approaches for optimization and decision-making in the design of manufacturing systems. A nominal group technique was used to identify metrics, methods, and tools critical to advanced manufacturing industry as well as highlight the associated research challenges and barriers. Workshop outcomes provide a number of research directions that can be pursued to address the identified challenges and barriers.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The use of aerial robotic systems that physically contact oil and gas structural assets to obtain measurement data in offshore and marine environments carries unique challenges and operational variables. The objectives of this paper are to demonstrate, with examples, how these aerial robotic systems afford safer, cheaper, and better nondestructive testing (NDT) measurement collection methodology and allow more robust insight into assets conditions than the slower, less safe, and more expensive manual method. To take NDT measurements such as Ultrasonic Wall Thickness (UT) Measurements at height, currently one needs to utilize a lift, ladders or other solutions to reach areas on certain assets. This can be both dangerous, due to the possibility of falls, and time consuming. Utilizing an aerial robotics platform for contact based (not visual) NDT measurements such as Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) allows workers to remain safely on the ground. Drones, with robotic arms, have the potential to improve inspection, testing and data collection. This paper explores an aerial robotic system that flies up to a structure with a metal sub-straight, then under full autonomous software control, touches a UT measurement probe to the target and records the measurement data compliant with American Petrolium Institute (API) and other standards. The use of aerial robotics systems for NDT is still a new and novel application utilizing existing technologies such as electronic measurement readers, drones, etc. with a system of complex integrations that allows for a better application of science. Aerial Robotic NDT systems have the potential to improve the inspection, testing and data collection aspects of coated and uncoated assets, in part, by making the NDT measurement process easier and safer thus allowing for more frequent measurements and/or a larger quantity of measurement samples. When possible, working at heights should be eliminated as part the hierarchy of fall protection stipulated by both OSHA and ANSI. For this reason alone, the use of aerial robotic systems is important now and in the immediate future Oil & Gas infrastructure, including Offshore. This paper intends to provide readers an awareness of this new technology as well as provide information about its efficacy, limitations and operational requirements.

Also in consideration of increasing emission limits for these combustion engines, investigations regarding alternative technologies for the efficient manufacturing of performance-optimized cylinder running surfaces were carried out by the Institute of Manufacturing Technology and Quality Management. The microstructure of these surfaces and the subsequent surface integrity are in the focus of considerations. Using tribological analysis of the mechanical running-in behavior of cylinder running surfaces, conclusions will be drawn on the impact of the last honing step of the engine production. These investigations are carried out in terms of a possible conditioning of tribotechnical systems in their production and the concomitant reduction of friction and wear-intensive running-in processes. In this regard alternative finishing operations like burnishing are investigated.

Abstract:
In the mid-1990’s, SARA developed and patented (Patent Number 6,200,697) a Direct Carbon-Air Fuel Cell (DCFC) which uses a molten hydroxide electrolyte in a cell design that is characteristic of what are commonly known as metal-air fuel cells. This technology forms the basis of the Direct Coal to Electricity Conversion system that is being developed at SARA with support from American Electric Power and the Electric Power Research Institute. The main feature of the cell which uses molten hydroxide electrolyte is the design simplicity in which the cathode is a simple iron container sparged with air. The drawback of this design however is chemical instability of the electrolyte due to its reaction with anode product CO2 resulting in hydroxide to carbonate conversion that lessens the cell performance and shorts the cell operation duration. Researchers at SARA are exploring various means to prevent or reduce the carbonate formation. One of the means is based on the use of high water content in the electrolyte that will shift the equilibrium of hydroxide to carbonate conversion to the left resulting in low CO32− ion concentration. Another means to prevent conversion of hydroxide melt into carbonate according to the literature [1–2] is based on the use of oxide additives such as SiO2, As2O3, and MgO as well as oxyanions such as pyrophosphate and persulfate that decompose carbonate and therefore these compounds together with water might help in preventing conversion of hydroxides into carbonates. Unfortunately neither water content nor oxide additives exerted substantial reduction of carbonate formation at temperatures up to 650° C. Much higher temperatures are needed for these effects to be significant. Since the beginning of 2004, SARA has been performing experiments with a new generation of DCFC. The results of those experiments have permitted much longer term operation of the DCFC than was possible in earlier experiments. This has led SARA to a new cell configuration with a porous separator that separates electrolyte in the anode compartment (anolyte) from the electrolyte in the cathode compartment (catholyte) and prevents hydroxide to carbonate conversion in the catholyte. In this cell design the anolyte is carbonate melt whereas the catholyte is hydroxide melt. Consequently the electrochemical activity of carbon anodic dissolution is not as high as in hydroxide electrolyte, whereas the high activity of oxygen cathode and subsequently its simple design is retained. This new configuration has several advantages over the older cell configuration: (1) we can use particulate carbon directly in the cell, (2) the CO2 that is produced by the cell comes out in a form that can be easily sequestered, and (3) the electrolyte is stable for long term operation. The starting electrolyte in both cell compartments is a mixture of NaOH and LiOH (1:1 by mol). During the cell operation the anolyte is being converted to carbonate, the anode potential is getting less negative and at certain point it reaches the plateau. At this point gaseous CO2 starts leaving the cell and the electrolyte is stabilized showing no further changes during cell operation. No effects of CO32− ions on O2 cathode performance was observed over 500 h of operation indicating little or no CO32− transport through the separator. Time required converting hydroxide anolyte into carbonate one depends on the cell current, but the cell operation can also start with carbonate anolyte. In any case the amount of CO2 determined in anode off gas is proportional to the cell current indicating that CO2 is formed as a result of electrochemical reactions at the carbon anode.

Abstract:
A 2007 WTERT survey (1) showed that the global waste-to-energy capacity (WTE) increased in the period 2001–2007 by about 4 million metric tons per annum. By far, the principal technology used globally for energy recovery from municipal solid wastes is combustion of “as received” MSW on moving grates (“mass burn” or stocker technology). The three dominant grate technologies, by Martin, Von Roll, and Keppel-Seghers, represent about 75% of the total growth in capacity. In the same period, Japan and China built several plants that were based either on the direct smelting or on fluid bed combustion of solid wastes. In China, there have been some mass-burn new plants and also over forty circulating fluid bed WTEs, using technologies developed by the Institute of Thermal Power Engineering of Zhejiang University and by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. WTE technologies in China are actively supported by the national and local governments and many more plants are projected as sprawling cities are running out of landfill space. Japan is the largest user of thermal treatment of MSW in the world (40 million tonnes) and some of the newest plants use stoker technology, such as the Hiroshima WTE designed by the famous architect Taniguchi and the Sendai WTE that uses advanced oxygen enrichment technology. However, there are also over 100 thermal treatment plants based on relatively novel processes. The Direct Smelting and the Ebara fluid bed technologies developed in Japan require pre-processing of the MSW, combust the resulting syngas to generate steam, and produce a vitrified residue. The Thermoselect Gasification and Melting technology, originally developed in Europe, has been adopted successfully in seven Japanese facilities by JFE, a company with extensive experience both in high temperature metal processing and with various MSW thermal treatment technologies, including mass burn. This paper also includes a brief report on the results of a study by WTERT on ways to increase beneficial uses of WTE ash in the U.S.
