Our idea is to integrate as many real data sources as possible to build real time models of urban traffic environments to improve safety and efficiency of traffic, and to provide urban and emergency response planners with a simulation framework from which to evaluate and compare policy and procedures.
The RT-SOFC is a room temperature fuel cell in which nano-structured oxides such as YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia) or SDC (samaria doped ceria) are used as electrolytes. Due to the configuration as concentration cell only water is used and produced during operation of the fuel cell.
CraftStickBending.com is the very first web site designed to teach the new art, science & fun of creating new crafts with craft stick bending. The craft will not only teach the fun, but will also teach the science, technology, engineering and math (S.T.E.M) of the bending with craft sticks.
