Group dynamics

communication among project members” (Frame, chapter 3 pg. 91). There is no team leader, decisions are made by the team, and the project product reflexes inputs from all the team members. This is the ideal of an egoless team structure. In the case of Dogs Group, although the structure was egoless, certain members of the team could not agree on what roles the members should have and this led to conflicts between those members who followed the egoless team structure (exhibit designers and…

Our group has had a rough start and a rough finish for project 1. The group consisted of eight people and one would think with eight people the work would not have been so tough. However, we did work well together when we did work, we collaborated and agreed on ideas, and we worked together to achieve some sort of product. Unfortunately along the way there were communication issues, and confusion. In the beginning, it was bright and people seemed to want to do great work for the project. That…

class group four, that consisted of myself, and three other people spent the last five weeks on our presentation. This process involved weekly group meetings, establishing rules, planning and implementing duties, researching topics, presentation, and ending the group. This process over the last few weeks proved to be challenging and rewarding for the team. One of the most complicated factors that the group experienced started at week three where member B could not attend the weekly group…

What Group Did You Attend and Describe It. The purpose of our worker’s group is to provide support and solution-based strategies to help deal with stress in the workplace. Overall the goal of our group is to build a safe zone for workers to verbalize frustration that arises because of the unrealistic expectations that are place on workers. It is also a place where self-care and coping skills for the workers are discussed to ensure that workers are healthy. The total number of people in the…

The viscoelastic behavior of bucky paper reinforced epoxy laminar composite materials for structural application has been evaluated through Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. The effects of heating rate, sinusoidal forces on glass transition temperature Tgwere studied. In DMA LVDT controlled sinusoidal force is applied and measures the response of the input as shown in the figure 3. It measures parameters which are the signature properties of the material under supervision like storage modulus, loss…

closer the axis of the tube and slower when farther from it. 3.1.1 Dimensionless Parameters In analysis of convection heat transfer, it is convenient to convert to non-dimensional the governing equations and combine the variables, which makes the group of dimensionless numbers in order to reduce the number of total variables. 3.1.1.1 Prandtl Number The Prandtl number is the ratio of the momentum diffusivity or viscous diffusuion rate and thermal diffusivity or thermal diffusion rate expressed as…

between adsorbate and adsorbent, while a higher value for Kf indicates higher rate of adsorption. 2.5.5.2. Adsorption kinetics Most of the adsorption/desorption transformation processes of various solid phases are time dependent. To understand the dynamic interactions of pollutants with solid phases and to predict their fate with time, knowledge of the kinetics of these processes is important. Various kinetic models have been used, whereas in this study the pseudo-first-order and…

This rib is also suitable for a variety of loading conditions. Forged ribs are manufactured using heavy press-machinery, and are used for sections where very high loads apply. Milled ribs are solid structures, manufactured by milling away excess material from a solid block of metal, and are also used where very high loads apply. The stringers on the skin panels run in the length of the wing, and so usually need to bridge the ribs. There are several methods for dealing with this problem. The…

1024 Chickens Europe has turned to Skynet for farming advice. European Union agriculture commissioner Phil Hogan announced last Friday a multi-billion dollar plan to integrate digital sensors in every aspect of crop production to “produce more with less.” For instance, data from satellites could determine how best to apply fertilizers and pesticides, thus improving efficiency and crop yields. This undertaking would have been unthinkable a decade ago. But a new advance - parallel…

Particle Deformation and Fragmentation: As compaction force increases, contact area between particles increases, particle deformation starts to occur. Elastic deformation: granules attempt to return to their original shape or form after stress is released. Plastic deformation: granules do not totally recover after stress is released. Fragmentation occurs when compaction force continues to increase Particles fracture, create multiple new surface sites, additional contact points and potential…
