Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool‚ mechanical device or machine system. Ideally‚ the device preserves the input power and simply trades off forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever. Machine components designed to manage forces and movement in this way are called mechanisms. An ideal mechanism transmits power without adding to or subtracting from it. This means the ideal

Daniel Maloney‚ an AOL executive‚ recently turned to crowdsourcing for help inventorying AOL’s vast video library. (Note: This definition of crowdsourcing differs from the one used in Chapter 5 to describe crowdsourcing as a way to spur innovation). He broke the large job into micro-tasks and described the tasks that he needed to be done on Mechanical Turk. In particular‚ each worker was asked

some type of personal meaning to the artist. One of the most important figures in modern art is Pablo Picasso. Not only was Pablo Picasso a genius in the field of abstract art‚ but he also experimented with sculpting and ceramics. Pablo Picasso has taken the world to many places with his unique style of work which is why I believe he is considered to be a genius of the 20th century. Background Pablo Picasso‚ born Pablo Ruiz‚ was destined to become an artist at a very young age. Born in Malaga‚ Spain

Impact of Undergraduate Research Experience in Engineering ANDREW L. ZYDNEY Department of Chemical Engineering University of Delaware encouraged the development of a number of programs to involve students in research at predominantly undergraduate institutions. Faculty mentors generally agree that there are significant educational benefits to the undergraduate research experience [5‚ 7]. Students are thought to develop expertise in a specific area of specialization‚ gain a better understanding

F40 BMA Tutorial 4 1. A man is driving at 120 km/h along a straight road and he looks to the side for 2.0 s‚ how far does he travel during this inattentive period? [66.7 m] 2. A horse canters away from its trainer in a straight line‚ moving 160 m away in 17.0 s. It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 6.8 s. Calculate (a) its average speed and (b) its average velocity for the entire trip‚ using “away from the trainer” as the positive direction. [10.1 m/s; 3.36 m/s]

natural that we tend to look to the “genius” of each student. The use of the term "genius" in this context redefines the usual perspectives and asks us to stretch our understanding to include the potential capabilities of every learner and what it is that they bring with them to make a unique individual worth developing. In his book Awakening Genius in the Classroom‚ Thomas Armstrong coaxes each reader to examine his or her own belief system and to see "genius" as a conceptualization of the best that
