I'm finishing a Masters in Biomedical Engineering in early '93.  I'm looking
for PHD programs that specialize in prostheses/orthotheses and/or (non)linear
control system applications to biological systems (preferably oculomotor or
hearing)

If you email, I'll summarize and repost.

I am not really familiar with AIPS, MIDAS or IRAF (other than having heard about
them), but I have done work with a company that writes scientific software for
analyzing and visualizing ultrasonic data. They use a package called IDL
(Interactive Data analysis Language) for much of their image processing. I'm not
sure if this is what your looking for, but it is available from Research Systems,
Inc. If you want more information, e-mail me, maybe telling me exactly what you're
looking for, and I'll send you RSI's address/phone number if you want.

The information you need can be found in the book "Biomechanics
of Human Movement" by D.A. Winter.  This book contains an
appendix which tabulates all dimensions and mass distribution
properties of the body segments of an average male person, in two
dimensions.

If you are interested in biomechanical modelling, you can

At the outset, my congratulations to you for doing a program, which is a mix of chem. engg. and comp. sci.. It is a wonderful combination and the opportunities are plenty. Your hybrid background would be very useful in the area of process modeling, simulation, and control. Chemical engineering plants are becoming highly integrated and therefore complex, due to stiff competition, environmental standards, etc. Therefore, there is lot emphasis to study the process systems thoroughly.Computer models of the act


ual process systems would help to achieve this goal. ASPEN PLUS, PRO II, CHEMCAD, DESIGN II, and HYSIM are the commercially available process simulators for chemical industry to do studies on their process systems. But these are just steady-state simulators. In real life the process systems are dynamic in nature. So researchers are working on to come out with dynamic simulators. There does exist a few dynamic simulators, but they are still in the testing stage. Let us look at the problems in this field:
           The more complex the mathematical model to represent the process system, the better it would represent the system, but more difficult to solve it numerically,i.e more computation time. It is some what similar to the concept SPACE VS TIME in ANALYSIS OF ALGORITHMS COURSE.
           In chemical engineering calculations, there is lot of processing on data. I mean the data is to be stored and retrieved in an efficient manner, wherein which your  knowledge of database systems would very useful. Prof. MOTARD, Univ. of Washington has published lot of papers in this area.
           There is lot of work going on in the area of object-oriented representation of process systems, instead of in conventional languages like Fortran, c, etc. Prof. Stephanopolous, MIT has published a paper on this topic. Prof. Motard, infact introduced this concept to the chemical engineering community.
           Further, there is lot of work going on in the area of EXPERT SYSTEMS, as applied to chemical engineering.You should contact Prof. J. F. Davis, Ohio State Univ., Prof. Stephanopolous, MIT, and the following schools:
Purdue, Virginia Tech., Univ. Of Maryland.
           Finally, I would say that you are in the right track and wish you the best in all your endeavors.

We may need to redesign the drive sstem due to several drive bearing

(subsequent bearing corrosion and failure) or fearing failure first
(subsequent seal breakage).

  The evaporation rate doesn't have anything to do with it.  Try
putting saran wrap tightly over both trays.  The tray with the hot
water still freezes much more quickly.

  Sure, this can all be shown using some mathematics.  Just write
an energy balance equating the rate of heat loss at the surface of
an ice cube with the rate of change of internal energy of an ice cube,
vis a vis (assuming the lumped capacitance method, see any heat transfer
text):

   -h * A * (T - Tsur) = rho * cp * V * dT/dt

This equation can be integrated to give 
                      
                       |Tx
        ln (T/Tsur - 1)| =    h * A * (tf - to) / (rho * cp * V)
                       |Tsur 

where Tx is either Th (T-hot) or Tc (T-cold).

Continuing the evaluation, it can be shown that the time ratio is
inversely proportional to the temperature ratio.

Is the above analysis valid?  Notice that it is independent of material,
and initial and final temperatures.

Subject: question about 'apparent' temperature
Date: 11 Dec 92 18:18:55 GMT
Organization: University of Pittsburgh

All this talk about the ice cubes and classrooms has me wondering about 
a related problem.  I'm only a 1st term junior, and haven't had
any heat transfer classes, so I'm not sure if I have this right.  
My question concerns wind chill and relative humidity as they relate 
to the apparent temperature.  When the weather report gives the temp with 
wind chill factor (ex 40, 20 with wind chill), are they saying that the heat 
transfer rate from your body is the same as if the air was 20 degrees but
still?  Similarly when it very humid, say 70 degrees but feels like 80, does 
this mean that the heat transfer rate is the same as if it were a lower 
humidty at 80 degrees?


Thanks for any help.
