Developed using steam properties from the 1967 ASME Steam Tables, it produces results consistent with the ASME 6th Edition Steam Tables. It is a collection of HTML pages with embedded Java Applets that helps users solve thermodynamic problems and perform parametric studies visually without any programming. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=738746 ״The AIM Full-Body-Bike solves the problem of how to build a normal-sized, 26-27 inch two-wheeled bicycle that riders can pedal with their feet alone, their hands alone, or with their feet and hands simultaneously, thus providing both an upper body and lower body workout at the same time.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88139 This URL is for the text, available online, of a bookpublished by the National Research Council--thesame folks who published the National Science Education Standards. The text is available in either HTML or PDF formats. Here is how the authors describe the book: "Each new headline about American students' poor performance in math and science leads to new calls for reform in teaching. Education Teachers of Science, Mathematics, and Technology puts the whole picture together by synthesizing what we know about the quality of math and science teaching, drawing conclusions about why teacher preparation needs reform, and then outlining recommendations for accomplishing the most important goals before us. As a framework for addressing the task, the book advocates partnerships among school districts, colleges, and universities, with contributions from scientists, mathematicians, teacher educators, and teachers. It then looks carefully at the status of the education reform movement and explores the motives for raising the bar for how well teachers teach and how well students learn. Also examined are important issues in teacher professionalism: what teachers should be taught about their subjects, the utility of in-service education, the challenge of program funding, and the merits of credentialing. Professional Development Schools are reviewed and vignettes presented that describe exemplary teacher development practices.

Estas bombas son utilizadas en diversos tipos de maquinaria pesada y de medio tonelaje. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=314308 Don't just convert units, solve the entire problem using any units. DimensionEngine is an online engineering calculator that allows you to define variables with units, use the variables in equations, and output the results in any units. All necessary unit conversions are done automatically. All equations are checked for dimensional consistency. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=552905 This is a course site to support a course in Engineering Dynamics.
