During steel making processes, such as continuous casting, the impurity in the cast steel is influenced by the interplay between the molten steel and molten slags.  Understanding the interfacial phenomena could help produce higher purity steels. Success could increase the space station's commercial utilization and improve oxide melt manufacturing and application on Earth.Co-Principal Investigator: Dr. Robert Hyers, Professor and Head, Mechanical & Materials Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MAWorcester Polytechnic InstituteFlow Boiling Condensation Module Power Filter Module (support hardware)During the initial checkouts following launch of the Condensation Module Power Filter  hardware on NG-19 in August 2023, an anomaly was observed in the test section thermocouple readings. The team investigated the issue and recommended replacement of the power filter module to fix the anomalous thermocouple readings. The PFM filters out undesirable electromagnetic emissions noise for the payload electronics.Top view of the FBCE-CM-HT hardware.

  Walking

Most of the Empire State Trail route follows “rail-trails,” which are repurposed historic railroad beds, and “canalway trails” built adjacent to sections of the Erie and Champlain Canals. These trails are generally flat, with little change in elevation.

Off-road Empire State Trail sections are 10-12 feet wide with a paved asphalt or stonedust surface (stonedust is compacted, finely-ground material that provides a stable trail surface).

The Empire State Trail is accessible to walkers of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels – children to seniors, families and friends out for a slow stroll, parents pushing strollers, longer-distance hikers, and joggers and runners. The trail is accessible to people with mobility challenges and meets Americans with Disabilities (ADA) standards.

Note: Although most of the Empire State Trail route is off-road trail, some sections are designated on the shoulders of public roadways. The on-road sections, which are identified on the trail maps on this website, are intended for visitors comfortable walking or bicycling adjacent to motor vehicle traffic.

The Regional Parks include a variety of multi-use trails open to equestrians. Here are some of the more popular parks for riders. Most parks with equestrian trails offer trailer parking, manure bins, hitching posts, and water troughs. For a full list, visit our Find a Park page and search for equestrian trails. 
Foothill Regional Park
This park in northeast Windsor offers nearly 7 miles of trails through oaks and over hills with views of vineyards and valleys. 
Spring Lake Regional Park
Horse trails ring the lake and cross wooded hillsides and connect with Trione-Annadel State Park. Trailer parking is through the Newanga Avenue entrance.
Shiloh Ranch Regional Park
This wooded park on the southeast edge of Windsor is one of the most popular with equestrians. Many trails are former ranch roads ideal for group rides. 
Doran Regional Park
Equestrians are welcome on the east side of this Bodega Bay beach. Riders should be comfortable encountering picnickers, fishermen, leashed dogs, and people flying kites.

Russian River Patrol

The award-winning Russian River safety patrol is a roving team of lifeguards who visit Del Rio Woods, Forestville River Access, Steelhead and Sunset beaches Fridays through Mondays from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. They share information about staying safe on the water and help swimmers avoid dangerous situations.
In addition, life jackets are available seasonally at these beaches for free self-checkout for the day. Using a life vest is highly recommended; there are unseen hazards and changing conditions on the river.
