Three members of the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics presented at and attended the ISMA-USD Noise and Vibration Engineering conference at KU Leuven in Leuven Belgium. The 28th International Conference on Noise and Vibration engineering (ISMA2018) was organized in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Uncertainty in Structural Dynamics (USD2018) on September 17-19, 2018. Approximately 700 people (50% from industry, 50% from universities) attended the conference.
Jon Furlich, PhD student presented "Application of STFT and Wavelet analysis to MT clunk data: a case study." Andrew Barnard (ME-EM) presented "Active noise control in pipes and ducts using carbon nanotube thermophones" and "Top 10 mechanical experiments for the teaching of sound and vibration in mechanical engineering". Barnard also taught a seminar on acoustics in London Sept. 20.

Jason Blough (ME-EM) chaired a session, attended the conference and met with peers to discuss future research topics.
Craig Friedrich (ME-EM) presented two podium papers, "Enhanced Bone Fixation of TKA Tibial Tray Implants with TiO2 Nanotubes" and "In Vivo Anti-Bacterial Effectiveness of Nanotextured Titanium Implant Surfaces" at the 31st International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA) Conference in London, England.
The conference, which addressed innovative solutions for arthroplasty, took place Oct. 10-13, 2018 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. Established in 1988, ISTA is dedicated to advancing the art and science of technology in joint replacement by connecting the leading clinicians, engineers, researchers, and industry members from around the globe.
Recent clinical data suggest improvement in the fixation of tibia trays for total knee arthroplasty when the trays are additive manufactured with highly porous bone ingrowth structures.

Periprosthetic infection remains a clinical challenge that may lead to revision surgeries, increased spending, disability, and mortality.
Trisha Sain (ME-EM) and Muhammed Imam authored the paper "Effects of cohesive interfaces and polymer viscoelasticity on improving mechanical properties in an architectured composite," in the International Journal of Solids and Structures.
Improving the functionality of composite materials is a key requirement for various aerospace, auto-motive, sports and defense applications. The trend is to identify mechanisms, design, constituents, and, preferably, the combination of all of them that can result into better mechanical properties in the conflicting domain of interest (e.g. high stiffness and high damping or high stiffness and high toughness) without adding much complexity in the analysis and design.
The present work considered an "interconnected" geometry inspired by biological materials in a composite material made of very different material properties. Our computational study showed that the interconnection was effective in improving the load transfer between two dissimilar materials by the virtue of contact-friction mechanism, compared to layered materials.
Jeremy Worm (MEEM/APSRC) is the principal investigator on a project that has received a $47,000 contract from the U.S. Department of Defense-Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).
Kishan Bellur, a postdoctoral scholar (ME-EM), recently attended the annual meeting of the American Society of Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) in Bethesda, Maryland. This is now the primary microgravity conference for NASA.
At the conference, Bellur received the award for "Best Poster Presentation." His poster presentation was based on his dissertation research, which will be extended with the new NASA Physical Sciences Informatics System (PSI) grant.
The meeting took place October 31st, 2018 through November 3rd, 2018.
The members of ASGSR represent academia, government, and industry interests bonded by a common issue – how living organisms and physical systems respond to gravity.
NASA offers the PSI data repository for physical science experiments performed on the International Space Station (ISS). The PSI system is now accessible and open to the public.
Mo Rastgaar (ME-EM) along with PhD students Guilherme Ribeiro and Lauren Knop, presented "Correlation between Ankle Impedance and EMG Signals," at the Fourth International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation (ICNR), Pisa, Italy, Oct. 16-20, 2018.
This is a seven-month project.
Andrew Barnard (MEEM) was referenced in the article "Beaver Stadium can get as loud as a rock concert. How to cheer and protect your ears," in Centre Daily Times. The story referenced research Barnard conducted as a graduate student at Penn State on noise levels at the university's Beaver Stadium.
In the late 2000s, Andrew Barnard, former Penn State graduate student and current Michigan Technological University professor, measured the sound levels in Beaver stadium during games with sold-out crowds of well over 107,000 people. He measured sound intensity that occasionally reached levels louder than jack hammers. Think about that!

Mo Rastgaar (MEEM/MuSTI) is the principal investigator on a project that has recieved a $680,182 research and development grant from the National Science Foundation. The project is titled "NRI: INT: COLLAB: Anthropomorphic Robotic Ankle Prosthesis with Programmable Materials." This is a four-year project.
There are currently 2 million Americans living with an amputation; the majority of those amputations are of the lower limbs. Leg amputation is a significant life-altering event that has an overwhelmingly negative effect on many aspects of life, even years after the injury. Leg amputation can cost in excess of $1.8 million per individual. Most available prostheses are designed to replicate some aspects of normal ankle function during level-ground walking. These prostheses allow many individuals with below-knee amputation to return to basic daily activities. However, these devices are best suited for level-ground walking and many users experience difficulties during other important tasks, such as walking on slopes, stairs, or different terrains. Therefore, the general aim of this project is to address this gap in the design of existing powered ankle-foot prostheses by enabling new prosthetics that adapt to different environmental conditions commonly found in daily life.
In addition to advancing research, undergraduate and graduate students will be involved in research activities and will receive interdisciplinary education/innovation/outreach experiences. Outreach activities will allow the project team to engage diverse middle and high school students, especially those from underrepresented groups and low-income families. The findings from this project will be disseminated through publications, software sharing, and technology commercialization.
The Michigan Tech Mobile Lab is visiting the campus of Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) today, giving GRCC students the chance to gain exposure to an ongoing National Science Foundation (NSF) Project—"CAREER: An Ecologically Inspired Approach to Battery Lifetime Analysis and Testing." The principal investigator on the project is Lucia Gauchia.
Participants range from all over the technical campus, with specialized tours for on-campus classrooms, as well as an open house for students and community members. Inside the Mobile Lab, there is further detail on the project and a real-world demonstration of a battery testing process.
Students in the Mobile Lab will be exposed to battery technology in today's modern world. There will be discussions on battery types, chemistry and applications; including mobile devices, automotive, grid storage and more.
The Mobile Lab will be on the GRCC downtown campus, located in the student commons area. For more information on the Michigan Tech Mobile Lab, contact Chris Morgan.

You can use a PS4 controller with the PS5 console, but only for PS4 games
Sony gave an answer today to the question about PS4 controller compatibility with its next-gen console – the PlayStation 5. News came in its official blog, where Sony says:
"Will the DualShock 4 work with PS5 games?
No, we believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we're bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller."
Further, Sony noted that Dualshock 4 controllers will work with PS4 titles, like other official third-party PS4 controllers. Also, the company said that officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games, though the list of games is under cover. Sony also leaves the ability to play with existing PS Move Motion controllers and the Playstation VR games on the next-gen console.
As a result, the PlayStation 5 will not be the first console to fully support previous generation controllers, that means the DualSense will become a core part to enjoy next-gen games.

This is regarding an integration requirement between SAP PO 7.31 single stack & SAP ATTP system(similar to ECC). Message flow is like PO to ATTP(Request) & then ATTP to PO(Response), Asynchronous interfaces in PO, but the webservice in ATTP is like synchronous way.
PO able to send a webservice message to ATTP, from the ATTP log, request is processing and then response message to PO back using another consumer proxy. In between request & request process flow of the SAP standard webservice, a validation is Caller IP & Destination IP should be same, means both should be PO system IP address. But caller IP is taking as ATTP system IP and destination IP is taking as PO IP(from consumer service).
This function 'RFC_GET_ATTRIBUTES', pulling the caller IP from the actual request came in ATTP.
Any suggestions to get both caller IP & destination IP as same with respective configurations..?
Problem resolved after applying SAP note:2514933 in SAP ATTP 2.0, as these are standard SAP Services.

Who was Aldous Huxley?
Aldous Leonard Huxley was a well-known writer, essayist and screenwriter. He wrote his fist novel at the age of 17, the novel was never published though. His first published novel "Crome Yellow" was a satirical work on social issues. Besides editing the magazine "Oxford Poetry", he also wrote short stories, poetry and created scripts for some Hollywood films. But he could not achieve success in Hollywood. In his later life, parapsychology and philosophical mysticism dominated most of his writings. When he was introduced to meditation, vegetarianism and Vedanta, he became an active member of Vedanta Society of Southern California for a long period. His book "The Doors of Perception" mirrors his experience of psychedelic drug. After the publication of this book, some disagreement occurred between him and Swami Prabhavananda, the head of the Vedanta Society regarding his experience of LSD drug. Still Huxley remained involved in the activities of the society by contributing articles for its journal and delivering lectures at the temple. He represented his personal experience of improvement of his poor eyesight with the help of Bates Method in the book "The Art of Seeing". He loved to mention himself as an agnostic, though he had an interest in spirituality and mysticism.

In 1918, he worked at the Air Ministry for a brief period. He also worked as a farm laborer at Garsington Manor during World War I. At that time, he met with personalities like Bertrand Russell and Clive Bell.
During the 1920s, he served at Brunner and Mond chemical plant in Billingham, Teesside. In 1921, his first novel, "Crome Yellow" appeared. Through this novel, he caricatured the lifestyle at Garsington.
After the death of his friend D.H. Lawrence, he edited Lawrence's letters in 1933. During this period, he authored several famous novels like "Brave New World" and "Eyeless in Gaza".
He also started writing and editing non-fiction works on pacifist issues. The names of books like "Ends and Means", "Pacifism and Philosophy" and "An Encyclopedia of Pacifism" deserve special mention in this context.

CoWork Breathes New Life into Greenville Space
by Steph Hay
I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing designer Matthew Smith, Principal at SquaredEye, on his role in spearheading CoWork Greenville (SC). Below are the images of CoWork Greenville ( CoWork Greenville is now Atlas Local) and Matthew's answers to my questions — all so we could get a peek into their modern cowork environment *and* understand the context, dynamic, and goals behind its existence.
CoWork Greenville is now Atlas Local.
Why did you think Greenville needed a dedicated CoWorking space?
Matthew Smith
That's not the first thing I thought of. My first thought was that I didn't want to work alone at home anymore where I had a hard time staying focused. I found other people who were in the same boat, and we launched this thing a few years ago — as six people in a closet of a space.
We only came to the conclusion that we are a "CoWorking" space after I heard a talk on CoWorking at SXSW in 2009.
From that point on, a group of us that assembled as the CoWork Greenville LLC has forged ground as a for-profit CoWork group looking to provide the absolute best environment in all of Greenville for great work to happen. I'm pretty sure we have accomplished that, but I'm biased.
What were a few of the concerns and/or challenges you experienced in getting it started?
What will people pay? Why would competitive freelancers want to work in the same building together? What do we do if a potential client comes in the door and wants to hire someone for a project? What if someone is an ass and we have to kick him or her out? The list goes on.
The biggest challenge now is how to keep growing in a way that honors the quality we get from an office with fewer than 30 people in it. We're working on that now.
What fuels its sustainability? For example, the group dynamic, influx of creative types to Greenville, or regular outreach conducted?
Once a month, on what we call "ZeroDay," we practice thinking. We take half a day off and just try to process ideas, challenges, and things we're stumped about in general. It's a great way to get our group to gel.
Architecturally there's a lot of hangout space, too. We value relationship and work equally. We want people to enjoy where they work, and the space provides for that.
What benefits do you think coworking inherently provides coworkers that formal office cultures typically don't?
More versatile thinking. CoWorking challenges the status quo. We're always spurring each other on to do better work. It's a more diverse crowd, and we are all responsible for the success or failure of our own businesses. And something is working, because we're all incredibly busy and growing our businesses.
What benefits does CoWork Greenville provide to members of the greater community outside its walls?
We're working on this now. We currently welcome people from the community to participate in our ZeroDays by inviting them to bring their own challenges and ideas to the table. In addition, we're very interested in supporting the low-income community around our space by providing labor and ideas. It's high on our priority list.
We also have eight, day-rate spaces. These cost $20 per day or $10 per half-day. Both include complimentary espresso drinks from our prized Gaggia. This encourages the community to come in and experience the CoWorking environment where we can we practice 100 percent independent collaboration. And on the first Monday of each month, we also offer the day-rate spaces for free on a first-come, first-served basis.
Any advice for corporate developers who want to sublet/dedicate space for CoWorking in their properties?
You're wasting your money by leaving your spaces empty. There are a huge number of independent workers who would gladly take up your space temporarily or long term. Stop living in the past and wake up. There's money to be made — a LOT of money to be made — serving a more flexible class of workers.
Any advice for folks interested in starting their own CoWork spaces within their communities?
Don't try to be a cowboy. It was tough to trail-blaze this whole thing. I'm thankful for the bits of advice we got, but I wish I had sought more as we went along. Get advice from those that have gone before you.
Don't go it alone. Find like-minded people to help you build something amazing.
Start small, see if your city will sustain a small group first. Regardless, get something off the ground before you try to get people invested in the idea. People need to see this working before they'll commit.
And on this topic, we offer consulting for CoWorking startups and can even share our contracts and papers as a part of the deal. It's proved helpful for a number of groups.

Hagströmerbibliotekets skriftserie (The Series of Publications issued by the Hagströmer Library) consists of 21 items at the time of writing. It was initiated by Ove Hagelin and the first book was called Om botanikens grunder (On the Foundations of Botany), Atlantis, 2007. This is an edition and translation into Swedish of notes made by one of Carl Linnaeus' pupils during the scientist's lectures on botany in 1748. The work was compiled and issued by Lars Bergquist and is a handsome volume of 504 pages. Carl Linnaeus, Lars Bergquist, and Ove Hagelin are names that appear repeatedly in the series and in due course we intend to describe – in no particular order – every item in the series. Another name that is found time and time again is that of the eminent scholar Nils Uddenberg. His latest contribution is number 19, Lidande och läkedom (Suffering and Healing), Fri tanke, 2015.
In Lidande och läkedom I and II Nils Uddenberg paints a broad-brush picture of the growth of Western medicine from ancient times to around 1950, and reveals how people have tried to handle disease and death over the millennia. He describes developments in the theory and techniques of medicine, and leading us through the plagues that claimed millions of lives chronicles how people have tried, more or less successfully, to overcome such devastating epidemics. Presenting a cast of influential physicians, often with detailed biographies, Uddenberg surveys the global stage, albeit with a fond focus on his native Sweden. Accounts of individual suffering over the ages and the treatments offered add substance to his history, while the abundant illustrations, many of which were taken from the Hagströmer Library collection and with many objects exclusively photographed for this work, lavishly complement the text.
Nils Uddenberg was awarded the Letterstedtska författarpriset (The Letterstedt Prize) 2016 for the books. This award is issued by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for an outstanding original publication in science, literature or art the previous year.

Lancaster Auto Title Loans Serves The Community Of Lancaster!
The City of Lancaster is located in Antelope Valley in the northern Los Angeles region. Lancaster, unlike other cities, is a charter city. This is when the governing system is ruled by the city's charter rather than by general law. Historically, Lancaster was part of the Southern Pacific Railroad's route. The railway was built in 1876 going from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The name of the city is of unknown origins but many guess that its influence came from the many settlers who migrated from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. By the late 19th century, Lancaster was an expanding city growing acres of barley and wheat.
Present-day Lancaster is home to many large companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. Lancaster's Aerospace Walk of Honor is sponsored by many of these companies. The center honors test pilots contributing to space research and aviation. The city is also known for a whimsical attraction called the Civic Musical Road. This road is a strip of highway that plays a portion of the William Tell Overture as you drive. Another attraction the city is known for is its annual California Poppy Festival, which occurs annually each spring. The festival attracts up to 60,000 guests every year.
Lancaster Auto Title Loans is proud to serve the city of Lancaster! Call us today at 855-303-CASH (2274) to speak to one of our loan agents! You can also visit us in person at one of our local offices, or start your online application process!

Rockers was merely a fad of a subculture, same with Teddy Boys and although mod lost it's popularity towards the early 70's, it deeply influenced many styles. In my opinion hipsters are like a reformed mod and that's a huge trend right now, with just one of the many subcultures it influenced.
Subcultures often, but not always, form as a result of disillusion with wider society. Many are also formed in response to popular culture, with subcultures developing from musical, literary and film movements. Subcultures have become more of a global phenomenon since the introduction of the internet, with some being exclusively based online.
5. Millennial: 2010's. Part generation/part subculture for the kids born in the late 80's into the 2000's, Millennial is the blanket label thrown out for the youth of right now.

One urban subculture heavily related to Mexico, and parts of the U.S. which have high levels of Mexican immigration, is that of the cholo. Popular culture regularly depicts the cholo/chola as either a baggy pant and XL shirt wearing man with a penchant for bandanas, or as a hoop-earring wearing, overly lip-lined woman, and many would agree that that's their 'look'.


NOTE: Matthew Loftus and Susannah Black assisted with the creation of this quiz.
Given the popularity of last week's post indexing the various political theologies Christians might adopt today, we have created a quiz to help you figure out where you fit with the various options discussed last week.
One note: If you get "Liberal Protestant," keep in mind that we don't mean "theological liberal." This is not a quiz about creedal orthodoxy, but about social order and how you understand Christian political theology. So you can be an entirely orthodox Christian and get "Liberal Protestant" on this quiz because you are on board with classical liberalism. If you're more "Daniel Option" than "Benedict Option," you probably are a Liberal Protestant as we're defining our terms here.
I am a man of surprises.
No fair! There are no options for us Reformed Anarcho-Capitalists.
2- Protect the lives and property of the people.
3- Partly good and partly bad. It depends on how you define the classic liberal order. Do we mean principles like individual liberty, free markets, freedom from coercion? Great. Do we mean nationalism, economic protectionism, the welfare state? Bad.
6- Should be made truly liberal (in the sense of free).
8- Having nothing to do with it. The state should not issue marriage licenses at all. Since there should be no such thing as income taxes the federal government, it shouldn't concern the state to determine who is or isn't married. Divorce cases can be handled by private courts.
11- Part of our calling to fulfill Genesis 1.
Is there a quiz here? Where is the link?
Liberal Revanchism although being a market anarchist makes some of these options somewhat problematic.
Radical Anabaptist, at least in terms of political theology. Even so, I'm not all that negative concerning neoliberalism's ability to provide a sufficient basis upon which to build an orderly society.
I took it again and, on questions where I was on the fence, I answered the opposite way. I came out as a Liberal Protestant this time. That's probably about right. I believe in a healthy pluralism, where people largely stick to their own tribe and access social capital within the tribe. I believe in a rather thin common culture that is purely secular and operates on the harm principle. I have no interest in culture-wide normative institutions, as they tend to create inefficiencies and get in the way of creative destruction.
Where is the link? Where is the quiz?
Your browser is probably out of date, or has its options set to block the link to the quiz.
OK, I'll check that out.
Can't find the quiz link?
Yeah. THIS was inclusive. I got radical Anabaptist. I'M A FREAKING DRUID.
I see no quiz. I disabled ad blocker but still don't see the module. Hmm…?
How are there six answers but not six options for each question? That just guarantees some people will have to click stuff they don't agree with. Also where's liberation theology and do you really think the only Catholic politics is one that wants to burn heterics? waaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I got radical anabaptist but im pretty sure i clicked Calvinist or Catholic answers to some of them.
For this Methodist to end up a "Radical Anabaptist" seems a bit strange. But then, the questions were a bit strange. Usually I could not agree with any question in the particular set.
To me, the process was not the least bit helpful.
It's too limited. I was willing to play, but the first two questions immediately offered me no answers that fit. It's very tightly assumed that the quiz taker goes to Church and has one of three beliefs about an existant God. It eliminates vast swathes of religiosity and atheism.

OROVILLE — The Butte County Sheriff's Office is investigating the robbery and shooting of an unidentified man early Tuesday morning at an area south of Oroville.
The Sheriff's Office first learned of the incident at approximately 3:30 a.m. Tuesday in a 9-1-1 call from a man who said he'd been robbed and shot. The man said he was arriving at Oroville Hospital for treatment, according to a press release.
Sgt. Jason Hail said deputies responding to the call confirmed the victim had been shot. The man's wounds were not life-threatening and he was treated and released.
The incident occurred near the intersection of Rose Street and Baggett-Marysville Road.
The victim reportedly had some items stolen from inside his vehicle after being confronted by two suspects at the intersection.
During the confrontation, one suspect shot the victim several times.
The victim was able to get away from the scene and seek medical treatment.
Hail said the victim was unable to provide any information about the suspects other than that they were males.
Butte County Felony Investigations Unit is investigating the case. Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call detective Chris Nicodemus at 538-7671.
