All-Female Auto Racing Team Takes Off

All-Female Auto Racing Team Takes Off All-Female Auto Racing Team Takes Off All-Female Auto Racing Team Takes OffIt welchesnt that long ago that finding females on a college team of engineering students entering racing competitions was a rarity. This year, a group of some 40 undergraduates at the Rochester Institute of Technologys Kate Gleason College of Engineering, calling themselves Hot Wheelz, is making history as the first and only all-female race team entering the SAE Formula Hybrid competition at Dartmouth University, to be held in May 2016.The team is co-managed by two fifth-year mechanical engineering students, Maura Chmielowiec, chief engineer and technical leader, and Jennifer Smith, project manager. They konzeptioned and built an electric racecar, doing all of the engineering, welding, and sourcing of components as well as negotiating sponsorship deals, crowdsourcing, and making a project management plan.The competition emphasizes drive train innovation and fuel efficienc y in a high-performance application. Teams compete in driving events acceleration, autocross, and endurance, and also score points for project management, design, and inspection. The team is required to submit some dozen technical reports including updates on the hundreds of components they use prior to the competition. Before being allowed on the track, the cars must reisepass rigorous inspection, complying with numerous rules in a 170-plus page rulebook.The team gets instruction in the machine shop. Image RITThe growth of Hot Wheelz has all taken place since 2011 when RIT sought to put together an all-female racing team to build an electrical vehicle and compete in the universitys first campus-wide e-vehicle drag race in 2012. Chmielowiec was among the first of some 10 women to volunteer, although she was only a freshman mechanical engineering major at the time. She had been working on cars since the age of 12, when she won a contest competing for an all-access NASCAR extravaganza at Watkins Glen, NY. Within two years, she had bought a junky sports car with money she made mowing lawns. Poring over books and tinkering, she got the 1986 Nissan 300ZX running even before she could legally drive.So she was up for the challenge when the RIT call came. With Chmielowiec at the wheel, Hot Wheelz hot pink dragster, converted from a go-cart, won the 100-meter race in just under six seconds.Over the next couple of years, the team added more women and entered other on-campus races until 2014, when members learned that the annual competition was going to feature drones instead of cars.Chmielowiec proposed that the team instead enter the Society of Automotive Engineers Formula Hybrid competition at Dartmouth. It was a much bigger deal. The team needed $100,000, some 10 times more than required for any previous races. Undaunted, team members planned to take two years to get ready. They spent the first year raising money and learning many new skills from welding to 3D printi ng to creating electrical systems. They advocated for and succeeded in getting academic courses created that would teach them everything they needed to know.Designing an all-electric car. Image RITOne thing that was make or break in helping Hot Wheelz get the design done on time was independent study in chassis design, Chemielowiec says. It was really hard because we were starting from scratch, and we didnt know how to get started. None of us had ever built a car from the ground up, she says. I was looking at a white screen on a CAD model, and I had no idea where to start.It was so much more than removing nuts and bolts and replacing them as she had done as a young teenager. It was making my own design, she says. One of the biggest engineering challenges that she felt Hot Wheelz faced as a first-year team in this competition was the integralrechnung of subsystems to make one big system, particularly integration of the mechanical and electrical components. A lot of teams have been ar ound for years, and the older team members can train younger ones, learning what to do, what not to do, she says. Those things are passed along.Mounting the mechanical and electrical components together, while keeping them isolated because of the high voltage can be deadly, she explains, adding they must find space on the frame for everything, keep everything lightweight, make sure the wheels really roll and keep it safe for the driver.By February, 2015, she was ready and began leading the team through the design phase that lasted until December when welding of the chassis began. By the end of March, the team was doing final assembly. They were putting in many hours to be ready for the opportunity of a pre-inspection by the teams Formula Hybrid mentor, an engineer from General Motors, and a competition judge.Pre-inspection went fairly well, Chmielowiec says. There is still a lot to do, and we discovered some minor changes that need to be made to ensure we pass at the actual competit ion. Having our GM mentor there was an incredible boost. Next up is an engineer from Curtis Instruments to help troubleshoot the electrical system.Whatever the outcome of the competition, Chmielowiec says, Its been a blast, a crazy five years for me, something she had always dreamed about but thought would never happen. She is also paving the way for her future and will start her career this summer as a tire, wheel, and fastener performance and test engineer at General Motors.Ultimately I have always wanted to go to NASCAR. Thats been my dream goal. I didnt know if it was going to be achievable, but I think Im on a good track, she says. I am glad to be starting at GM because that will give me a good foundation.Nancy S. Giges is an independent writer.None of us had ever built a car from the ground up. I was looking at a white screen on a CAD model, and I had no idea where to start.Maura Chmielowiec, RIT Hot Wheelz

The sound of people chewing can actually stop you from getting work done

The sound of people chewing can actually stop you from getting work doneThe sound of people chewing can actually stop you from getting work doneIf the sound of people chewing gum in your office drives you crazy, theres a medical term for your frustration - misophonia, also known as selective sound sensitivity syndrome.For people who suffer from it, seemingly innocuous noises like sneezing, coughing, or the sound of eating bananas can trigger a visceral fight-or-flight response. When you have misophonia, your coworkers lip-smacking, apple crunching is not just a distracting pet peeve, but an enemy to be fought or avoided at all costs. As one employee with misophonia put it, When someone does a very loud sneeze, I literally want to punch them for a second. Neuroscientists have found that people afflicted with misophonia have the emotion-processing part of their brains overwhelmed by these noises.In fact, new research has found that it can even affect your ability to learn.Study People sensitive to sounds have a harder time learningIn thejournalApplied Cognitive Psychology, researchers outlined how misophonia can hurt your academic performance.They recruited 72 college students to read through information about migraines for six minutes before testing them on the material. While one control group got to study for the test in silence, the other group had to put up with a decoy student loudly chewing gum during the allotted time for studying. Students who said they were sensitive to sound and heard the chewing ended up doing worse on the test, showing more trouble mastering and retaining the information.So, if you find yourself having trouble concentrating at work, it may not be you but your coworkers noises thats the culprit. But theres hope. For employees suffering from misophonia, there are individual fixes you can do when background noises are out of your control. Researchers recommend using earplugs, focusing on ones own sounds, orusing positive internal dialo gue to drown out the offending noise.But in open office spaces filled with chatty coworkers and crunchy snacks, it can be hard to escape background noise. So, the next time a coworker asks you to stop chewing gum near them, try and sympathize with their plight and go chew the wad of gum elsewhere.

The 7 deadly sins leaders commit that hold them back

The 7 deadly sins leaders commit that hold them backThe 7 deadly sins leaders commit that hold them backThis Seven Deadly Sins is a group of vices within religious teachings that are known as excessive versions of ones natural aptitudes. Though identified by desert fatherbeis in the third century as passions one needed to overcome, these shortcomings have relevance in todays work environment.1. Pride that you are more capable than your employeesHow gratifying is it to be dubbed King Know-It-All when everybody hates your guts? When you make all the decisions and give continual directives it cuts off their independence and desire to take risks. Innovation suffers and disengagement grows. Hire good people and get out of their way.2. Sloth in your dedication to develop your personal growth and that of your teamYou develop projects but how often do you develop your emotional intelligence? When was the last time you asked an employee, Where do you see yourself three years from now? What pr oject would you like to develop? What mindful routines do you practice daily that keep you calm and confident?3. Gluttony in your desire for perfection so that you look good, managing the perfect employees who develop flawless quality and sternbezogen productivity metrics for your own kudosBe vulnerable. Stop looking in the mirror and look your team members the eye. Are they worn out? Discouraged? Can you relate to them? Do they know you have been where they are? Do you care about them?4. Lust after all the other managers who have superior people, more resources and better jobsAnd fairies fly and prince charming is in everyone elses house. Stop dreaming about other pastures. The grass is green right under your own feet. Own it.5. Envy of leaders who have more power than youTrue power comes from searching inside yourself to play to your own signature strengths. Dont play to weaknesses or youll only be mediocre. We envy things we admire. What can you learn from the people you envy? Be a mindful observer without judgment. There is always a lesson in discord. Treat envy with curiosity.6. Wrath to those who make mistakesGetting even with someone who has hurt you is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. We forgive not for the other person but to free ourselves from oppression that develops into angry behavior and negative thoughts. Next time you see a child being scolded ask her how much she wants to help that parent do a chore.7. Greed to have it all which leads to unrealistic expectations of yourself and your teamWe live in a society that constantly reminds us we need to have more. More time, money, thin, young. That expectation is insatiable. Nothing is ever enough. When do you celebrate your successes? The shorter the distance between what you want and where you are, the happier you will be.Mary Lee Gannon, ACC, CAE is an executive coach and corporate CEO who helps busy leaders get off the treadmill to nowhere to be more effective, earn mor e, be more calm and enjoy connected relationships with the people who matter while it still matters.

Salt-Heat-Transfer-Fluids-in-CSP

Salt-Heat-Transfer-Fluids-in-CSP Salt-Heat-Transfer-Fluids-in-CSP With photovoltaic energy prices dropping and concentrated solar power (CSP) towers operating at higher temperatures, the use of salts in CSP trough plants is being investigated to lower operating costs, improve plant efficiencies, and enable operation at higher temperatures. Most trough plants with synthetic or organic oil heat transfer fluids (HTFs) are limited to less than 400 C. Using salts can raise that temperature up to 550 C, allowing steam turbines to operate at greater efficiency, among other advantages. Even though there are no commercial trough CSP plants using salt yet, new industrial-sized plants designed to incorporate their many advantages are currently entering the demonstration phase. Favorable ComparisonsMolten salts are solids at standard temperature and pressure. Liquid salts used for heat transfer in power plants are called molten salts because normally they are solids at standard temperature and p ressure. Conventional mixtures of sodium nitrates and potassium nitrates are already proven as energy storage media in trough and tower configurations. The new concept is to use those nitrate salts as the HTF as well as for storage, which can lead to a more efficient trough plant design. Salts are cheaper, denser, and can retain more energy per volume than oil-based HTFs. They can be directly stored and accessed at near-ambient pressure, elend at oil-based HTFs considerably higher vapor pressure. A larger tank can be used for both expansion and short-term storage when the fluid is hot, minimizing the need for additional tanks and heat exchangers, and making it easier to incorporate heat storage. In addition to offering favorable storage conditions, as an HTF, molten salts also pollute less are nonflammable are more abundant have lower vapor pressures offer cost savings due to smaller thermal tanks and piping. Where leaking synthetic oil HTFs pose spill and fire hazards, leaking molten salt will solidify and can be cleaned by scooping with a shovel. Salts do not degrade over time, do not need to be replaced, and do not exhibit the hydrogen permeation problem that oil-based HTFs exhibited. Craig Turchi from the National Renewable Energy Laboratorys Concentrating Solar Power Program, Washington, DC, believes the lifetime of molten salts will easily match the lifetime of the trough plant. CSP Salt Challenges Freeze Protection Both oil and salt trough plants are designed to continuously circulate HTF through loops, even at night. If molten salt cools below its melting point for a few days or weeks due to loss of circulation, pipe insulation, or a power blackout to the plant, the salts can freeze and contract. Turchi explains that contraction itself is not a problem, but when the salts melt, they expand. If a pipe containing frozen salt is filled solid, it may rupture upon melting, but it is possible to re-melt the salts over the course of days or weeks. The use of salts in CSP trough plants is being investigated to lower operating costs. Image Siemens. Recent freeze-thaw tests at Sandia National Laboratory, Albuquerque, NM, showed heat collection elements (absorber or receiver tubes) could also be permanently damaged if they were completely filled with salt when it froze. They noticed that in a sloping solar field, only the receivers at the low ends of the collector assembly were completely full, implying there could be opportunities to minimize damage risk with the solar field design. Trough salt plants contain electric heat tracing to keep the circulating system thermisch during cold nights, and reduce risk of freezing. Operating these heaters uses power and adds significant cost, but some oil-based CSP plants already have these heat tracers installed in their loops, Turchi explains. Most research efforts have been focused on creating or locating compatible salts with lower melting points so they dont freeze. By adding additiona l ingredients such as lithium nitrate, some researchers have been able to reduce melting points to as low as 80 C by creating more complex ternary, quaternary, or higher salt blends. This is still higher than ambient temperature in CSP trough power plants, but far lower than the melting point of conventional nitrate salt mixtures at 220 C. Despite this finding, lithium nitrate is a costly additive, so the search continues. Approaching Industrial-Scale Use Solar Millennium, Erlangen, Germany, and Abengoa Solar, Seville, Spain, are exploring salt HTF options under funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, and testing and development is continuing several experimental CSP test facilities such as Sandias Sunlab. New CSP test facilities are being designed and built to test more sophisticated salt blends with lower melting points, such as the ENEAs industrial scale salt trough test plant Archimede in Sicily, Italy, and Siemens Portuguese plant being built in the second quarter of 2011. At this point, the switch to salt is considered an operational risk, but is beyond fruchtwein of the technological barriers to implementation. It is hoped that the tradeoffs made at these new plants will enable cost savings and improved efficiency due to salts favorable thermal properties. Debbie Sniderman is CEO of VI Ventures LLC.Even though there are no commercial trough CSP plants using salt yet, new industrial-sized plants designed to incorporate their many advantages are currently entering the demonstration phase.

An Overview of Major U.S. Brick-and-Mortar Bookstores

An Overview of Major U.S. Brick-and-Mortar BookstoresAn Overview of Major U.S. Brick-and-Mortar BookstoresBrick-and-mortar bookstores are booksellers that have a physical retail presence, whether a freestanding building or a store in a shopping mall. Brick-and-MortarBookstores AreImportant to Book Marketing For centuries, bookstoreswere the main centers of commerce for the bookselling industry and book-buying public. Now, while some consumer dollars have shifted away from print books to e-books, bookstores remain hubs for those who like the feel of holding a book in their hands and browsing the stacks to see before they buy. Therefore, despite Amazon.coms domination of ansprechbar retail bookselling and digital book sales, bookstores remain a critical player in the book publishing industry. Below are the major bookstores in the United States. Brick-and-mortar stores promote books in numerous ways, including Author readings and signingsPromotional signagePoint-of-purchase promotio n, such as newsletters, bookmarks and bagsOn-table promotion - these featureseasonal, holiday or category-specific books.Endcap promotions - these are the books displayed thematically at the end of a row of books.Handselling - that is, when the staff at a bookseller personally recommends a book to a customer. Note that many of these promotions are funded by the publisher by way of cooperative advertising funds. Major Bookstore Chains The major bookstore chains are especially important to publishers and authors for their potential ability to buy and sell large quantities of new books and to stock backlist sellers, as well as their ability to promote books to the book-buying public through chain-wide bookstore promotions. Barnes Noble The chain, started by Len Riggio when he was still a college bookstore manager, is arguably the largest and most forward-thinking chain bookseller in the nation. Early in its history, Barnes Noble differentiated itself with a number of booksell ing innovations including television advertising, value pricing, publishing proprietary books and deep discounting of bestsellers. It has remained on the forefront of bookselling in all its iterations, including online and with e-books thanks to the Nook e-reader. The Barnes Noble Bookseller chain operates approximately 630 brick-and-mortar retail bookstores in regional shopping malls, major strip centers and freestanding locations. Starting in 2016, BN began to further leverage the power of its brick-and-mortar stores by offering promotional inclusion for self-published books that hit a certain threshold of BNebook sales. Books-A-Million Books-A-Million (or BAM, as it is often referred to) is based in Birmingham, Ala., and operates approximately 260 stores in 32 states. The chain was founded in 1917 as a street corner newsstand in Florence, Ala., Since the closing of the Borders Group bookstore chain, it has been the second largest brick-and-mortar book retailer in the United States. Borders Group The acknowledged originator of the book superstore concept and once the second-largest bookstore chain in the U.S., the Borders Group was a publicly held bookstore chain that operated Borders superstores and Waldenbooks Specialty Retail segment stores. This includes Waldenbooks, Borders Express and Borders airport stores. Lagging behind on the digital revolution, the brde Borders store closed in Sept. 2011. Major Independent Bookstores Major brick-and-mortar booksellers arent limited to bookstore chains. Throughout the United States, there are a number of major independent booksellers, most with one or a few outlets, too few or too localized to be considered chain bookstores. These independents booksellers are influential in the publishing industry not only because of their ability to move quantities of books relative to many other independent bookstores, but because of their great reputations in their respective communities, the loyalty of their custom er base and the business savvy of their ownership, who have continued to be committed to bookselling through a tough and volatile business landscape. Some major independents in the United States include Book Soup in West Hollywood, Calif.Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle, Wash.Square Books in Oxford, Miss.Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Kentucky and OhioNorthshire Bookstore in Sarasota Springs, N.Y.Powells Books in Portland, Ore.R.

Sabrina Gabriela - Registered Midwife

Sabrina Gabriela - Registered Midwife Sabrina Gabriela Registered MidwifePosted March 6, 2018, by Jenny Sakr Sabrina is a Registered Midwife committed to the pursuit of excellence in midwifery and all the areas between maternity including antenatal care, birthing unit, operating theatres, postnatalcare, general nursery, NICU, caseload, etc. Being a midwife is more than just delivering babies. A midwife is usually the first and main point of contact for a woman during her pregnancy, throughout labour and the early postnatal period in their transition to parenthood. Sabrinas daily endeavour is to empower women by providing them with more choices, maintaining and increasing the continuity of care models, promoting and providing women-centred care, and advocating and supporting women to make informed choices about their care regardless of their background, ethnicity or financial status.Tell us about what your role as a midwife involvesMidwives are relied upon by women to provide top le vel advice and assistance during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. The role of the midwife is very diverse. I carry out clinical examinations, provide health and parents education, and support the mother and her family throughout the childbearing process to help them adjust to their transition to parenthood. I also work in partnership with other health professionals and social care services to meet individual mothers needs, for example, teenage mothers, mothers who are socially disadvantaged or excluded, mothers with incapacities and mothers from diverse ethnic backgrounds.What did you study to get into midwifery?I did follow a long pathway by personal choice. I began my Nursing studies as an Assistant in Nursing (AIN), then I become an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse (EEN), then I completed my Bachelors of Nursing, and finally, I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Midwifery to become a Registered Midwife.I have also completed other university postgraduate courses across the M idwifery field to enhance my career progression in Primary Maternity Care Provision. I have completed Screening, Diagnostics, Pharmacology and Prescribing for Midwives, and initiated my Masters in Midwifery, which allows meto be accredited with Medicare to become an Eligible Midwife Prescriber.Name a career highlightBeing a midwife is a daily highlight, a privilege and rewarding in so many ways. A joyful journey, empowering women through their own journey to motherhood. No mother, baby, family or birth is the same and we get the gift to be part of it and witness the arrival of a precious new life to this world.Name a career lowA workplace culture reform is well overdue. Real improvements need to take place to enaya a safe and thriving environment. Unfortunately, the current workplace culture has a dramatic impact on the workforce and its patients, as it is a challenging workplace drumherum socially, economically and culturally. As a maternity workforce, we should be focusing on bui lding a strong resilient midwifery workforce with a particular emphasis on workplace culture and the emotional wellbeing of the midwives.What inspired you to get into nursing and midwifery?I did study Medicine overseas for a while, always aspiring to work between in a maternity or obstetrics setting with women and babies, so when I became aware of the possibility of becoming a Midwife I didnt give it a second thought. I knew it was for me, is my passion and despite the difficulties we may encounter while providing care, I always find it rewarding above all.What qualities and skills should people have if they want to be a midwife?Being accountable and a competent professional with the ability to practice safely is a given. My experience working with women and their families brings to mind some basic but very powerful and meaningful qualities which are important, these include being a good listener being empathetic to their feelings and needs, and to be understanding and patient. Its important to let patients know that with the right support there is no challenge they cannot overcome - its important they are supported and understood, regardless of their situation we are qualified and equipped to be at their service.What are the steps people have to take to become a midwife and what is the standard salary?It is recommended to become a Registered Nurse first as it will provide the experience and skills to become a competent professional in various areas, and then specialise in Midwifery. Nursing and midwifery intertwine across different areas, so is important to have the nursing skills as well, however, these days some universities offer direct entry to midwifery students. Sometimes there is a requirement to work rotating shifts including day and night duty, to be on-call and travel between the hospital and the mothers home. The majority of midwives pay and working conditions are determined by the Department of Health, Nurses Midwives Union, or private agreeme nts. Salaries vary between the public and private sector, also different wages are available for midwives working in the community, birth centres and Drs rooms. Nursing and midwifery hourly pay is based on years of experience and roles.If a career as a midwife or nurse is your calling then be sure to get the right skills and accreditation with our range of Courses in Nursing.
