Students
Adam Johnson,
Kevin Bryant, Case Hassak, and Jason Schwarzwalder, from Engr 107,
show off
their completed hydraulics project. The idea is to fill “vessels”
(i.e., cups)
on various “planes” with a set quantity of water in a set
sequence. There are also
more complex events - including injecting some food coloring,
mixing it with
the water, and dumping the mixture into a third container.
Synopsis:Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) invites
applications
from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade
a single item
of expensive, specialized, commercially available instruments or
integrated
systems that cost at least $600,001. The maximum award is
$2,000,000. Types of
instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray
diffraction
systems, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometers,
DNA and
protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and confocal microscopes,
cell-sorters, and biomedical imagers. This FOA will use the NIH
S10 Biomedical
Research Support Shared Instrumentation Grants award mechanism.

Opportunity Title:Airport Cooperative Research
Program (ACRP) -
Improving AEDT Modeling for Aircraft Noise Reflection and
Diffraction from
Terrain and Manmade Structures Sponsor:Transportation Research Board Sponsor Number:ACRP 02-79 [RFP] Deadline Date:03-Feb-2017 Program URL: http://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=4237
Synopsis:The Transportation Research Board's Airport Cooperative
Research Program
(ACRP) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to develop,
evaluate, and
recommend method(s) to account for aircraft noise reflection and
diffraction
due to terrain and manmade structures for incorporation in AEDT.The method(s) should account
for ground and
airborne aircraft operations. Recommended method(s) must be
non-proprietary and
based on open-source software.
