1. Your boss has presented the idea of using homeless people in a project similar to what BBH Labs has done, what would you tell him? If your boss is determined to move forward with the project, what would you do? I believe that using homeless people to perform any type of work seems out of place, but homeless people have basic needs that require some form of monetary compensation. When we give homeless people out in the corner of a street money, we are helping because we feel that is the…

Global warming is one of the biggest threats in the future to the planet we live on. We are starting to see the effects of global warming around us today, but it is nothing compared to what is to come if we don’t start taking care of the planet now. According to alternative energy organization, the world produces carbon dioxide that is release to the earth’s atmosphere everyday. The carbon dioxide that is released increases the warmth of our planet which is causing “Global Warming”…

BS generators” that spews startup-speak phrases such as “revolutionize user-centric technologies” or “empower cutting-edge methodologies.” What do these phrases really mean? No one really knows exactly. Many people both inside and outside of the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial bubble would agree that this kind of language is unique and doesn’t necessarily have an effect on the future of technology that will make innovation progress forward and cause the environment to churn out more companies…

Design and Simulation of Microcantilevers for Sensing Applications Abstract- MEMS is the integration of active and passive elements on a single chip, which combine electronics, electrical as well as mechanical elements to use in sensing and actuation. MEMS technology used in sensing applications with use of basic mechanical elements such as microcantilevers, beams, diaphragms, springs, gears and so on. In this research paper, microcantilevers are used as basic elements for design of Sensors.…

Feeling empowered gives people the reassurance of being in control. Opportunities offered by Cornell will allow me to have more control of my life and provide me with the directions I need to further my interests. Sadly, when one is in a state of hopelessness they feel like their life is predetermined by those who take it away. Victims sometimes go as far as to blame themselves or ignorant bystanders push the blame onto them. Rape victims have the misfortune of feeling helpless and sometimes…

were criticized for their personalities—with words like “abrasive”—while only two of the men were.” Post this article very interesting and unique. By these words are excellent, the author wrote and demonstrate real gender discrimination at work in Silicon Valley. I also completely agree with the author of system bias and establish timely intervention to minimize bias condition. “Google, similarly, now requires interviewers to ask every candidate for a given job the same questions, so that bias…

however, has a much earlier history than scribed. In 1984, inventor and owner of Solar Cells, Inc Harold McMaster began manufacturing solar cells from silicon (energyandcapital, para 8). However, as silicon became more expensive, McMaster decided to switch to the use of a material called cadmium telluride. This material was far cheaper than silicon, and eventually allowed the company to thrive. In 1999 the company was purchased by True North Partners, LLC and was named First Solar, Inc…

The main components of a flat-plate collector, as shown in Figure 3, are the following [5]: • Cover. Glass or other radiation-transmitting material. • Heat removal fluid passageways. Tubes, fins, or passages which containing fluid from the inlet to the outlet. • Absorber plate. Flat, corrugated, or grooved plates are attached to tubes, fins, or passages. A special attachment is the embedded fixing shown in the detail of Figure 3.2. The plate is usually coated with a high-absorbent, low-emittance…

1.1 What is a composite material? Composite materials are materials in which a homogenous matrix is reinforced by a stronger and stiffer constituent that is usually fibrous but may have a particulate or other shape (web.mit.edu). They are produced when two or more materials or phases are used together to give a combination of properties that cannot be attained otherwise. For example steel reinforced concrete, plywood and fibre glass. 1.2 What is a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC)? CMCs are a…
