Water distribution systems are often problematic in terms of quantity, pressure, continuity and quality. The research aimed to analyze water distribution system of PDAM Tirta Kahuripan Kabupaten Bogor in Ciomas Permai Residence. The research was conducted by collecting primary and secondary data. Analysis of clean water distribution system was carried out using the EPANET 2.0. Ciomas Permai Residence was located in zone 6 of PDAM Tirta Kahuripan servive areas. The result showed that the quality of the distributed water was in accordance with the applicable standard and continuous for 24 hours even though there were significant discharge differences during peak hours. Based on the measurement on Sunday and Monday, the minimum discharge were 14.4 l/sec and 13.8 l/sec respectively, higher than customer requirements of 7.34 l/sec, The water distribution pressure ranged from 0.7 - 1.35 bar. The result of clean water distribution simulation using EPANET 2.0 showed that the velocity of water and headloss were not accordance with the applicable standards.

Full textAbstract:
Multi-storey parking structures have potentially high concentrations of benzene (B), toluene (T), ethylbenzene (E) and xylene (X) – known as BTEX which could cause adverse health effects to humans. This study sought to estimate BTEX exposure concentrations among car park workers and to evaluate the extent to which, if at all, changes in urine metabolites are associated with BTEX exposure. Personal BTEX samples were collected from workers. Pre-shift and post-shift urinary metabolites, trans,trans-muconic acid (t,t-MA), hippuric acid (HA) and methyl hippuric acid were assessed using standard procedures. Linear regression models were used to examine associations between BTEX exposure concentrations and changes in urinary metabolites. BTEX concentrations in the car park on Sunday were lower than other days of the week, for instance median concentrations of toluene were 23.3 µg/m3 on Sunday and 48.3 µg/m3 during average weekdays (Tuesday–Friday). Benzene and toluene concentrations adjusted for day of week differences were associated with changes from pre-shift to post-shift in urine t,t-MA and HA, respectively. Car park workers were more likely to be exposed to lower concentrations of BTEX during weekdays compared to weekends. Provision of personal chemical safety protection and rigorous evaluation of its effectiveness in reducing BTEX exposure should be provided to protect workers of car parks.

Full textAbstract:
This article critiques the mediation of the Zimbabwean land reform programme in the period 2000–2010 by both the state-controlled and the privately-owned press. Its thrust is to establish the framing patterns that emerge and relate these to Herman and Chomsky’s Propaganda Model. The bold claim by Herman and Chomsky that the media, particularly in the West, pander to the whims of the powerful political and pro-capital elites is explored. Using a qualitative case study approach, data for this study were collected from four Zimbabwean Weeklies, namely The Sunday News and The Sunday Mail, which are stateowned, and The Independent and The Standard, which are privately-owned. News stories on the land reform programme drawn from these weeklies over the 10 year focus period are analysed with the view to ascertaining the tenability of the Propaganda Model. Using the tenets of the Propaganda Model and critical discourse analysis, the study exposes the polemical representations of the land issue by the press. The emerging polemics are attributed to the overbearing influence of ideology, ownership, corporate pro-capital interests and biased source selection. However, the tripartite alliance which the propaganda model claims as existing among government, capitalists and media owners comes unstuck in the Zimbabwean media-scape. There is evidently a fractious relationship between state media and private media in Zimbabwe. The political and economic contestation of power in the nation manifests in the press. It is quite clear from the findings of this study that there is still need for a model that comprehensively attempts to capture the role of the press and its place in Africa.

Full textAbstract:
This article traces the development of the foreseeability test in the context of the nullum crimen principle. While the European Court of Human Rights has introduced the ‘accessibility and foreseeability’ criteria long ago in the Sunday Times case, the Court has only recently started to apply this standard with respect to international crimes. In the Kononov case, judges of the European Court of Human Rights exhibited strongly divergent opinions on the question whether the punishment of alleged war crimes that had been committed in 1944 violated the nullum crimen principle. According to this author, the dissension of the judges demonstrates the lack of objective foreseeability, which should have served as a starting point for the assessment of the subjective foreseeability and a – potentially exculpating – mistake of law of the perpetrator. The Court should therefore have concluded that the nullum crimen principle had been violated.

This paper addresses a little piece of a lot more extensive undertaking looking at the connections between working class and migrant writing which will frame a piece of my thesis. I will discuss the employments of lingo, class struggle and interesting differences in these books from the 1950s – John Braine’s Room At the Top (1957), Alan Sillitoe’s Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958) and Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners (1956). I’ll begin with reference to a novel from the very period that maintains a strategic distance from broad utilization of tongue, prior to going to how these creators use vernacular and standard English alongside one another, just as set against one another, prior to getting done with an endeavor to historicize their employments of lingo. English the most prevalent language of the world has evolved with times influenced by German about 30%, Latin 30%, French 25%, Greek 5% and other languages about 10%. Surprisingly London alone has 300 other different languages spoken and they all influence add to the further development of Lingo and communication.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess alcoholic beverage intake among Australian adults and its contribution to dietary energy intake.DesignSecondary analysis of a national dietary survey using 24 h dietary recall.SettingAustralian National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) conducted from May 2011 to June 2012.SubjectsAdults (n9341) aged 19 years and over.ResultsOn the day preceding the survey, 32·8% of Australian adults consumed one or more alcoholic drinks. The median contribution to total energy intake for consumers did not differ significantly between males and females (13·7% and 12·9%, respectively;P=0·10). The prevalence of consumption of alcoholic drinks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday was 38·8 (95% CI 37·1, 40·5)%, higher than the other days (28·6 (95% CI 27·5, 29·8)%). Consumers had a median daily intake of 4·0 standard drinks on the weekend compared with 3·0 standard drinks during the week (P<0·001). Beer was the most commonly consumed alcoholic beverage for men and white wine for women. The highest prevalence of alcoholic beverage intake occurred in the highest quintile of adjusted household income (42·7 (95% CI 40·4, 45·0)%) and the ‘overweight’ BMI category (40·3 (95% CI 38·5, 42·0)%). Alcoholic beverage intake among consumers was significantly different by household income quintile (median 3·84 (highest)v. 3·05 standard drinks (lowest);P<0·05) and by waist circumference category (median 4·09 standard drinks (highest)).ConclusionsAlcoholic drinks contribute substantially to the dietary energy intake of Australian adults. The type and pattern of consumption of alcoholic beverage intake should be considered in the development of strategies to improve dietary intake.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Transgender women often take estrogen with or without an antiandrogen to achieve the physical and physiological changes of estrogen. Estradiol may be administered through intramuscular (IM) injection weekly or every other week (1). It is thought that weekly IM estradiol may be more stable than every other week administration. The objective of this case was to evaluate the levels of IM estradiol cypionate when administered weekly. Clinical Case: A 38-year-old transgender woman with a past medical history of gender dysphoria, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea compliant with continuous positive airway pressure, class 3 severe obesity, anxiety, depression and a non-smoker, presented for evaluation for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The patient wished to begin IM estradiol because she heard it was most effective. She was started on estradiol cypionate 0.5 mL (2.5 mg) IM every Sunday along with spironolactone 100 mg daily. Approximately one month later, her estradiol was 65.8 pg/mL on a Saturday, total testosterone by LC-MS/MS was suppressed to 7 ng/dL (male: 300-1080 ng/dL, female: 9 - 55 ng/dL), FSH <0.3 mIU/mL (1.5-12.4), LH <0.3 mIU/mL (1.7-8.6). We increased her estradiol cypionate to 0.8 mL (4 mg) IM every Sunday to achieve goal estradiol levels up to 100-200 pg/mL. Approximately 2 months later, estradiol was up to 160 pg/mL on a Thursday. FSH and LH remained suppressed. Spironolactone was stopped. Patient gave her estradiol dose every Sunday between 4:15-7 PM. She injected on the lateral thigh switching sides every week. At the patient’s request, blood was drawn on distinct days of the week going further from the day of injection as data collection progressed. The data we received: Monday: 153 pg/mL, Tuesday: 164 pg/mL, Wednesday: 147 pg/mL, Thursday: 122 pg/mL, Friday: 134 pg/mL, Saturday: 167 pg/mL. All labs were drawn between approximately 9:30-10:15 AM. Conclusion: Our patient wanted to see just how stable weekly IM estradiol cypionate was. We found she was able to stay within target physiologic estrogen levels, 100-200 pg/mL, throughout the week. Overall mean +/- standard deviation levels for the six samples taken between injections were 148 +/- 17 pg/mL (range: 122-167). This case provides reassurance to clinicians concerned IM estradiol may cause supraphysiologic estradiol levels. References: 1. Wylie C Hembree et al.

Full textAbstract:
Although much effort has been expended on studying many sites of social memory, little attention has been directed at the media’s work of memory, especially in post-colonial Africa. The media’s work of memory is important because of its social standing as a communicative and cultural institution, and because social memory is imbricated in processes of both collective identity formation and nation-building which partly shape patterns of economic distribution, recognition, and representation in society. It is in this context that this study shows how Zimbabwe’s The Sunday Mail and The Standard newspapers used social memory to construct the country’s national identity between 1999 and 2013 in the context of a socio-economic and political crisis for the country’s poly-racial, and poly-ethno-linguistic communities. The study also explores how these newspapers worked as memory sites through their construction of Zimbabwe’s national identity during the period under study. It achieves these tasks by analysing how these newspapers reported on such issues as Zimbabwe’s colonial history, the country’s narrative of decolonisation, the Gukurahundi narrative, the land reform process, elections and independence celebrations. The study takes a critical realist approach to qualitative research, and uses Fairclough and Fairclough’s (2012) method of political discourse analysis as well as Aristotle’s approach to rhetoric for a close reading of the sampled newspaper articles. It is informed by Nancy Fraser’s Theory of Justice, Chantal Mouffe’s Model of Agonistic Pluralism, and Jurgen Habermas’s Discourse Ethics Theory. The study concludes that these two newspapers actively use social memory to construct versions of national identity for specific socio-political and economic ends. Editorials and opinions from The Sunday Mail, which construct Zimbabwean-ness in nativist terms represent the hegemonic appropriation of social memory to construct a sense of Zimbabwean nationhood. In contrast, The Standard uses social memory to construct Zimbabwean-ness in modernist terms with citizenship as the core organising principle of belonging. The political discourse analysis of The Sunday Mail’s and The Standard’s evocation of social memory shows that the two newspapers reflect the tension between indigenist and universalist imaginaries of belonging in Zimbabwe. But the newspapers’ construction of belonging in Zimbabwe is informed by justice claims as seen from each of their political standpoints. As such, their respective definitions of Zimbabweans’ justice claims in terms of their political standpoints, also propose how those justice claims should be addressed and who stands to benefit from them.

Full textAbstract:
On May 16 2006 the government of Zimbabwe embarked on a clean-up programme of urban centres, destroying informal human settlements and informal businesses. This operation, which the government called operation "Restore Order", resulted in the displacement of nearly one million people and left thousands of families homeless. This study is a discussion and an analysis of the coverage of the clean-up operation by two of Zimbabwe's leading Sunday newspapers, The Sunday Mail and The Standard. The Sunday Mail is owned by the Zimbabwe government and The Standard is privately owned and perceived to be oppositional to the current Zimbabwe government. The two newspapers, therefore, covered the clean-up operation from different perspectives and often presented conflicting reports explaining why the clean-up operation was carried out and the extent of its impact on the lives of millions of Zimbabweans. The chosen research approach is the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework as developed by Fairclough (1995). Using CDA, this study seeks to find out and expose the underlying ideological struggles for hegemony between different social and political groups in Zimbabwe and how the newspapers became actors in this process. This process is made possible by looking at how news reporting is organised in the two newspapers, issues of language use, sourcing and external factors that influenced the coverage of the operation.

Full textAbstract:
Text in EnglishThis thesis explores the representation of political conflict in the Zimbabwean press with a specific focus on the The Herald, The Sunday Mail, Daily News and The Standard. The thesis sought to unpack the representation of political conflict in the four selected newspapers and to compare and contrast state-owned and privately-owned press representation of power, succession struggles and factionalism in ZANU PF and opposition MDC. The theory is undergirded by the framing theory and data was analysed using Critical Discourse Analysis. The thesis contends that the representation of political conflict in Zimbabwe was sensational and polarized. With clearly separate agendas, the government controlled press, The Herald and The Sunday Mail; and the privately owned Daily News and The Standard, have drawn upon different framing practices to represent political conflict in Zimbabwe. By selecting to report on a particular issue and silencing another, through choice of certain headlines, and vocabulary employed, they have produced a construction of events in political parties that satisfy their political agendas in an increasingly polarized political environment. The newspapers became associated with diverging political opinions, showing political parties they support. On the one hand, the state-funded media represented ZANU PF in positive light while the opposition, particularly the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) was represented negatively, mainly depicting the party as harbouring a regime change agenda. On the other hand, the privately-owned press was critical of the ruling party, ZANU PF and blamed the party for economic problems, corruption, mis-rule, and abuse of human rights. As a result of this partisan representation of political reality by the two press camps, they became directly implicated in the conflicts thereby ceasing to be credible sources of information. This clearly illustrates the enormity of challenges faced by the press in political conflicts in politically polarised environments such as Zimbabwe. The thesis argues that when reporting political conflicts ideological considerations of the press take precedents at the expense of the informational and educational mandate of the press as ethics and professional interests of the press are pushed to the back stage. Contrary to the view that the press is a neutral and impersonal purveyor of information, it is an active participant in the framing of political conflicts and its framing is ideological. The study has broadened the body of knowledge on the framing of political conflicts in polarised political environments.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 traces the logic American missionaries employed in advocating Sunday schools as a suitable answer to their problem of finding audiences for their message. Bazaar-preaching did not produce many converts. Missionaries tried to expand the notion of itinerant preaching: rather than merely present Christianity as a personal path to a secure afterlife, they attempted holding out prospects for a better standard of living for all in this world if they accepted Christianity. The responses usually were those of admiration for the material facts they presented about “Christian countries,” but accompanied by an assertive rejection of any notion of Christian causality. The recalcitrance of their ill-educated adult interlocutors frustrated missionaries and their attention thence turned to children. However, thanks to the availability of government grants-in-aid after 1854, there was increased competition in education from non-Christian groups wanting to set up government-approved secular schools. It was in this context that missionaries felt that Sunday schools, being independent of government funds, could teach Christian doctrine without fear of interference. Further, they expected thousands of non-Christians, eager for any education in English, to attend Sunday Schools, disregarding the evangelical intent of the schools’ sponsors. The India Sunday School Union was formed in 1876 following extensive pan-denominational missionary discussions on the need for a formal organization patterned after “modern” Western bureaucracies, educational systems, armies, and so forth. The chapter details the methods, including the use of advertising, small bribes, and favor-seeking with influential, Christian-minded colonial officials, by which missionaries assembled students. The chapter ends with a statistical review of Sunday school attendance in the last two decades of the nineteenth century.

This brief chapter is based upon daily weather statistics for the Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford, over the standard 30-year period 1981–2010. The warmest (i.e. most reliably warm) week of the year in Oxford is the final week of July; this also is one of the least rainy periods of the year, although the frequency of thunder is often at its greatest in the year around the same time. Mid-July and mid-August are the sunniest (i.e. most reliably sunny) times of the year, and amongst the driest too. Early to mid-February tends to be the coldest time of the year, and the most likely to see snowfall, while late December is the least sunny.

‘Penal law’ reviews Islamic penal law, the most controversial aspect of Islamic law that often prompts heated debate about its applicability in contemporary times. Classical Islamic law classifies crimes and their punishments into three main categories: hudūd, qisās, and ta’zīr. Substantively, the hudūd and qisās offences are specifically prescribed in the Qur’an and/or the Sunnah, while the ta’zīr offences are left to the discretion of the ruling authority or judges. There are a number of evidential requirements and standard of proving criminal offences under Islamic law. The classical Islamic penal rules are now codified into the current penal codes of a few Muslim-majority states, with necessary modifications.

At the outset, one must distinguish the Islam of the Qur’an and definitive hadith reports of the Prophet and the Ahl al-Bayt from the Islam of the “shari‘a” (i.e., the opinions of past jurists derived from the Qur’an and Sunna). The former enshrines the freedoms of religion and expression, whereas the latter places many restrictions upon these freedoms. This chapter discusses these issues: Restrictions on Freedom in the Shari‘a, Standard for the Freedom of Expression in Islam, and Insulting (Blaspheming) as a Standard for Hate Speech. The three principles cited below are essential to accommodating the “respect of the believer, not the belief ”, on the one hand, and, on the other, to protect belief in Islam and also the freedom of expression: The freedom to criticise aspects of religious beliefs; A prohibition on insulting and denigrating the belief system(s) of the believers and the apostates under “hate speech”; The nullification of all punishments related to apostasy (e.g., execution).

Chapter 2 explores the portrait studio, which defined many Irish people’s experience of family photography for much of the twentieth century. Familial milestones were commemorated by photographs of people in their Sunday best posing stiltedly in front of painted backdrops depicting domestic anywhere-spaces. In particular, it examines two studio portraitists in Waterford in the mid-twentieth century, run by the Poole family and Annie Brophy. Poole catered to the wealthier rural elite, while Brophy’s clientele were predominantly the shop owners of Waterford and small farmers of the district. These photographers were united in how they recorded the rhythms of town and country in a way which remained markedly consistent, through these portraits creating an image of a respectability—that profoundly visual quality—in rural Ireland. The repeated patterned similarities between images, in particular, the recurrence of objects and clothes, shows how portraitists kept props, and how those within the frame participated in the restaging of their lives in front of the lens for display both within the home and to circulate amongst extended family. Moreover, close examination of the marks on the negative reveals how blemishes were removed, hair was thickened, and skin was smoothed, and shows how the photography was manipulated in order to create appropriate families for display and viewing. An exploration of the construction of the studio portrait provides a way to explore how social norms were understood, and how the families sitting for these photographs aspired to reach these standards.

This chapter describes an alternative teacher certification program to achieve two objectives. The first is to highlight the connection to experiential learning. This connection to experiential learning that underscores the strength of a program in which “work” is essential to gaining true knowledge. The second objective is to refute the negative perception that alternative teacher certification programs may carry due to the negative connotations associated with such programs. These objectives will be accomplished by describing the State University of New York (SUNY) Empire State College's Master of Arts in Teaching Program and demonstrating that it meets the high standards expected from any teacher preparation program. It is the author's hope that stakeholders with an investment in education and in teacher preparation, in particular, will not make unfounded assumptions about alternative preparations and instead understand that there are high quality alternative teacher certification programs that support the profession of teaching.

Full textAbstract:
On 26 May 2012, Kadivar in his colleagues published an open letter to six Shi’ite authorities criticizing their Judgements (fatwa) on Apostasy of an Iranian singer. The main subjects of this letter are: Instead of Targeting the Effect, Target the Cause, Two Strands of Extremism, The Compassionate Islam, The Distinction between Critique and Insult, Rejection of the Fatwa on Executing an Apostate and Blasphemer, Resorting to Qur’anic and Hadith Standards when Confronted with Nonsensical and Absurd Talk, and Unwholesome Fallout from the Judgement to Assassinate. Condemning to death an accused apostate or blasphemer is void of any reliable religious evidence from the Qur’an, Sunna, consensus and reason. Rather, it is contrary to the Qur’an and reason. Moreover, due to the many perversions resulting from this decree, it would certainly be a cause of weakening and impairing Islam. Only a competent court is entitled to issue such a judicial ruling, and its implementation is restricted to court functionaries alone. The decree of a qualified jurist alone does not suffice. Killing an apostate or blasphemer of the Prophet is absolutely void of any reliable Qur’anic proof.

Full textAbstract:
Arizona Public Service (APS) is currently installing and operating new power facilities to generate a portion of its electricity from solar resources that will satisfy its obligation under the Arizona Environmental Portfolio Standard. During FY04, APS began construction on a 1-MWe parabolic trough concentrating solar power plant. Site preparation and construction activities continued throughout FY05 and early FY06. Construction was completed and initial startup occurred by the end of December 2005. Full power production and initial performance monitoring and evaluation will occur early in 2006. This project is the first commercial deployment of parabolic trough collector technology developed by Solargenix Energy, Inc. of Raleigh, North Carolina. The plant, located near Red Rock, Arizona, uses an organic Rankine cycle power plant by Ormat, which is much simpler than conventional steam Rankine cycles and allows unattended operation of the facility. APS has teamed with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories (collectively called SunLab), along with Nexant, Inc. to support design and startup activities and performance assessment. SunLab has developed TRNSYS models of the plant and will utilize initial performance baseline data to validate the models. Eventually, those models will be used to determine whether a proposed thermocline energy storage system designed by Nexant, Inc. is technically and economically feasible for this plant. SunLab has also assisted APS with development of an O&M database using the Maximo system to track solar plant costs and component failure modes.

Full textAbstract:
In summer, the temperature of a parked automobile compartment increases extremely high under a sunny condition. Investigation of this fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics is very important for controlling the effect of major design parameters. This paper address the behavior of fluid flow through convection and air temperature inside a car parked in the sun. The numerical solution was done by a new and operation friendly CFD code – SC/Tetra with a full scale model of a SM3 car and turbulence was modeled by the standard k-ε equation. It can be seen that solar radiation is an important parameter to raise the compartment temperature above the ambient temperature during summer. Numerical analysis of the three-dimensional model predicts a detailed description of fluid flow and temperature distribution driven by the incoming solar radiation (insoaltion) in the passenger compartment.

Abstract Cadaveric testing is a common approach for verifying mathematical models used in computational modeling work. In the case of a knee joint model for calculating ligament tension during total knee replacement (TKR) motion, model inputs include rigid body motions defined using the Grood-Suntay coordinate system as a spatial linkage between the tibial component orientation relative to the femoral component. Using this approach requires the definition of coordinate systems for each rigid TKR component (i.e. tibial and femoral) based on fiducial points, manual digitization of a point cloud within the experimental setup, and registration of the orientation relative to the relevant bone marker array. The purpose of this study was to compare the variability between two different manual point digitization methods (a hand-held stylus and pivot tool each calibrated in the optical tracking system), using a TKR femoral component in a simulated cadaver limb experimental setup as an example. This was accomplished by verifying the mathematical algorithm used to calculate the coordinate system from the digitized points, quantifying the variability of the manual digitization methods, and discussing how any error could affect the computational model. For the hand-held stylus method, the standard deviation of the origin and, x-, y-, and z-axis calculations were 0.50mm, 1.31 degrees, 0.51 degrees, and 0.62 degrees, respectively. It is important to note that there is an additional error created using the hand-held stylus from required manual digitization of each rigid marker array. This average additional error was 0.54mm for the origin and 1.70, 1.66, and 0.98 degrees for the x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively. For the pivot tool method, the standard deviation was 0.35mm, 0.37 degrees, 1.27 degrees, and 1.24 degrees for the origin, x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively. It is essential to minimize experimental error, as small errors in alignment can substantially alter model outputs. In this study of cadaver simulation of limb motion, the pivot tool is the better option for minimizing error. Careful definition of fiducial points and repeatable manual digitization of the point cloud is critical for meaningful computational models of TKR motion based on cadaver experimental work.

Full textAbstract:
Earthships are houses that use walls of recycled automobile tires packed with soil to retain a berm on three sides of the home while glazing on the sunny side (south in the Northern Hemisphere, north in the Southern Hemisphere) allows solar heat into the home’s interior. This paper discusses the design and application of earthships and assesses the feasibility of earthships as sustainable and healthy places of residence. The paper begins by describing the aspects of earthship design which contribute to sustainability, including the construction of the thermal envelope and its effect on the thermal comfort of the occupants; the building’s ability to harness renewable energy; and the catchwater and water reuse system. Each of these aspects is analyzed with computer models that simulate homes in four distinct climate zones to determine (a) whether the design meets the comfort, electrical, and water demand for each location, and (b) the financial implications for construction and operation of an earthship in each location in comparison with a standard wood-frame house. The study shows that earthships are a financially feasible design alternative for dry/arid, humid continental, and continental sub-arctic climates; but are not feasible for tropical wet/dry climates.

A linkage synthesis and analysis project from a 3rd year mechanical engineering Kinematics of Machines course at SUNY New Paltz was used by the ASME student section to develop a Lego based middle school activity to teach engineering design as a part of the new 6th grade New York State Science Learning Standards. This activity was brought to a local middle school, where mechanical engineering students from the ASME student section led the learning activity in four 6th grade science classes. The activity involved the building and testing of a mechanized soccer goalie, which included several design parameters selected by the 6th grade students based on the results of experimental measurements, using an engineering decision making process. The development and refinement of this activity is presented along with guidance for its implementation elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
The challenge of meeting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards of 2025 has resulted in the development of systems that utilize alternative energy propulsion technologies. To date, the use of solar energy as an auxiliary energy source of on-board fuel has not been extensively investigated, however. The authors investigated the design parameters and techno-economic impacts within a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for use as an on-board auxiliary power source for the internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). The objective is to optimize, by hybridizing, the conventional energy propulsion systems via solar energy based electric propulsion system by means of the on-board PVs system. This study is novel in that the authors investigated the design parameters of the on-board PV system for optimum well-to-tank energy efficiency. The following design parameters were analyzed: the PV device, the geographical solar location, thermal and electrical performances, energy storage, angling on the vehicle surface, mounting configuration and the effect on aerodynamics. A general well-to-tank form was derived for use in any other PV type, PV efficiency value, or installation location. The authors also analyzed the techno-economic value of adding the on-board PVs for ICE vehicles and for plug-in EVs considering the entire Powertrain component lifetime of the current and the projected price scenarios per vehicle lifetime, and driving by solar energy cost ($ per mile). Different driving scenarios were used to represent the driving conditions in all the U.S states at any time, with different vehicles analyzed using different cost scenarios to derive a greater understanding of the usefulness and the challenges inherent in using on-board PV solar technologies. The addition of on-board PVs to cover only 1.0 m2 of vehicle surfaces was found to extend the daily driving range to up to 2 miles for typical 2016 model vehicles, depending upon on vehicle specifications and destination, however over 7.0 miles with the use of extremely lightweight and aerodynamically efficient vehicles in a sunny location. The authors also estimated the maximum possible PV installation area via a unique relationship between the vehicle footprint and the projected horizontal vehicle surface area for different vehicles of varying sizes. It was determined that up to 50% of total daily miles traveled by an average U.S. person could be driven by solar energy, with the simple addition of on-board PVs to cover less than 50% (3.25 m2) of the projected horizontal surface area of a typical mid-size vehicle (e.g., Nissan Leaf or Mitsubishi i-MiEV). Specifically, the addition of the proposed PV module to a 2016 Tesla Model S AWD-70D vehicle in San Diego, CA extended the average daily range to 5.2 miles in that city. Similarly, for the 2016 BMW i3 BEV in Texas, Phoenix, and North Carolina, the range was extended to more than 7.0 miles in those states. The cost of hybridizing a solar technology into a vehicle was also estimated for current and projected prices. The results show for current price scenario, the expense of powering an ICE vehicle within a certain range with only solar energy was between 4 to 23 cents per mile depending upon the vehicle specification and driving location. Future price scenarios determined the driving cost is an optimum of 17 cents per mile. However, the addition of a PV system to an EV improved the economics of the system because of the presence of the standard battery and electric motor components. For any vehicle in any assumed location, the driving cost was found to be less than 6.0 cents per mile even in the current price scenario. The results of this dynamic model are applicable for determining the on-board PV contribution for any vehicle size with different powertrain configurations. Specifically, the proposed work provides a method that designers may use during the conceptual design stage to facilitate the deployment of an alternative energy propulsion system toward future mobility.
