In previous projects funded by the DOE, Proportional Technologies, Inc. developed the basic design of a neutron imaging detector, based on the boron-coated straw technology, aimed to replace 3He tubes in large-scale neutron science instruments. Recent efforts have focused on automated production methods, including a critical 10B4C high volume sputter coating system, and automated in-line straw tube...
This paper discusses a new technology for making electric and electronic circuit experiments remotely. Virtual Instrument System in Reality (VISIR) has been implemented at the Spanish University for Distance Education (UNED) for new engineering grade's distance laboratories. It gives a brief update of the project and its implementation, on the other hand, discusses its role at the Electrical and Computer...
Technology-enhanced learning is not just interacting with learning objects. Physical labs are another useful resource in education, especially for engineering and science education. They are confined to the physical location they are bound to. It is obviously interesting for any learning process to be able to open up this access from remote locations in the same effective way as learning objects are...
Our understanding of physical and biogeochemical processes in the Arctic, especially related to marine ecosystems, is rudimentary yet it is precisely here where we are witnessing the most rapid and profound impacts of global environmental change. Many national and international organizations have stressed the need for long term monitoring of Arctic ecosystems to understand better how they function...
Data have been collected from two dolphins engaged in free-swimming, bottom-object searches in conjuction with the deployment of both the BMT and IMS systems. Preliminary results demonstrate distinctive search strategies between the animals. The instrumentation described herein has been designed to provide quantitative data for free-swimming dolphins conducting mine-hunting tasks. The data allow researchers...
