The goal of this assignment is to select websites that provide information on the topic and then evaluate (critically evaluate) the information presented. A webliography is an annotated bibliography that pertains to websites only not books or specific articles. 1. Search the Internet and find eight (8) websites focused on the topic you selected. These websites should be what you feel are high quality Internet resources. Do not use resource databases that are online. Do not refer to research articles. Find websites that provide information on the topic you selected. Do not use any wikis either. 2. The depth of the webliography is more important than its breadth. Do not simply create a hotlist. Rather, organize a useful, annotated list that showcases the eight (8) websites you feel are the most important on the Internet related to the topic you selected. 3.

Written Assignment - Webliography
Points Possible: 100
Due Date: July 15, 2016 by 11:59 p.m. Late assignments will
not be accepted. Please do not
ask for an exception; the answer will be no. (Be sure you
upload the correct file to the course
and that the file is saved as either a .doc, .docx or PDF file.
For this assignment, you are required to prepare a
"webliography," (i.e. an online, annotated
bibliography of websites). This assignment will give you an
opportunity to research one single
topic from Chapter 3. Chapter 15, Chapter 7, or Chapter 9. A
topic is VERY SPECIFIC not
general. For example, you can select PTSD but not Anxiety
Disorders because it is too general.
Use the Internet to do the research. There are many single
topics to choose from in the permitted
chapters. The goal of this assignment is to select websites that
provide information on the topic

2. and then evaluate (critically evaluate) the information
presented.
A webliography is an annotated bibliography that pertains to
websites only not books or specific
articles.
1. Search the Internet and find eight (8) websites focused on the
topic you selected.
These websites should be what you feel are high quality Internet
resources. Do not
use resource databases that are online. Do not refer to research
articles. Find
websites that provide information on the topic you selected.
Do not use any wikis
either.
2. The depth of the webliography is more important than its
breadth. Do not simply
create a hotlist. Rather, organize a useful, annotated list that
showcases the eight
(8) websites you feel are the most important on the Internet
related to the topic
you selected.
3. Evaluate the information on each of the websites you
selected. For example, does

3. the information coincide with information presented in the
textbook? If so, provide
an example. Does the information on the website provide
scholarly references to
support the information shared on the website? Was the
information specific
enough to be useful to the reader?
4. Below the evaluation information, include the URL, a brief
description of the
website, date the website was last updated, and the author (or
owner) of the
information you evaluated.
5. Each entry should be about 10 to 14 sentences in length. List
the entries in
alphabetical order based on the last name of the website owner
or the author of the
information. If you cannot find this information, then reference
it as “No Author”
in the list.

Topic: Reliability of Eyewitness Testimony
(This is an example of one webliography entry. However,
because this is an example only, I
selected a topic that is NOT relevant to the chapters assigned
for this assignment. )

Article Title: Eyewitness Testimony Can Be Tragically
Mistaken
Authors: Stephanie Pappas and Jeanna Bryner
Date: September 22, 2011
Date Website Last Updated: Missing
This is a website that seems to be the home of an online
magazine. The article was

7. written by two journalists that work for the magazine. The
main focus of the article is the
unreliability of eyewitness testimony. While the authors quote
two psychologists as
experts to also provide empirical evidence as well. They
present evidence of the
unreliability using both historical and empirical evidence from
several psychological
experiments. The references are available on the site. This
information coincides with
the information in our textbook and seems valid. For example,
both the website and
textbook stated that the emotion a person experiences during a
traumatic event and the
ways the human memory system combines other memories can
easily distort recall and,
at the same time, help people feel certain about what they think
they saw.

Computing Project 2
Properties of Areas
The computing project Properties of Areas concerns the
computation of various properties
of cross sectional areas. In each of our theories (i.e., axial bar,
torsion, and beams) we arrive
at a point where we need certain properties of the cross section
to advance the analysis. For
the axial bar we needed only the area; for torsion we needed the
polar moment of inertia;
for the beam we will need moment of inertia of the cross section
about the centroid of the
cross section.
We can develop an algorithm that allows the computation of all
of the properties of a cross
section if the cross section can be described as a polygon. The
algorithm is built on formu-
las for the properties of a triangle. What that program will do is

9. create a triangle from the
origin and the two vertex nodes associated with a side of the
polygon. Whether this polygon
adds or subtracts from the accumulating properties will be
determined from the vectors
defining the sides of the polygon (see the CP Notes for further
clarification). If you loop
over all of the sides, the end result will be the properties of the
entire cross section.
The general steps are as follows:
1. Develop a routine that allows you to describe the cross
section with a sequence of
points numbered in a clockwise fashion starting with 1. The last
point should be a
repeat of the first one in order to close the polygon. Some
suggestions:
a. Store the (x,y) coordinates of each point in a single array
x(N,2), where N
is the number of points required to describe the cross section
(including
the repeat of the first point as the last point) and the first
column contains
the x values of the coordinate and the second column contains
the values

10. of the coordinate and the second column contains the y value.
b. It will eventually be a good idea to put the input into a
MATLAB function
and call the function from your main program. That way you
can build up
a library of cross sectional shapes without changing your main
program.
c. If you need a negative area region (for a cutout section like in
an open
tube) then number the points in that region in a counter-
clockwise fashion.
Just keep numbering the vertices in order (no need to start over
for the
negative areas).
2. Develop a routine to loop over all of the edges of the polygon
and compute (and
accumulate) the contributions of the triangle defined by the
vectors from the origin
to the two vertices of the current side of the triangle (that gives
two sides) and the

vector that points from the first to the second vertex (in
numerical order). Calculate
the area, centroid, and outer-product contributions to the
properties (see the CP
Notes for clarification of this issue).
3. Compute the orientation of the principal axes of the cross
section using the eigen-
value solver in MATLAB (eig) on the moment of inertia matrix
J. See the CP
Notes for more information on this task.
4. Create an output table (print into the Command Window)
giving the relevant cross
sectional properties. Develop a routine to plot the cross section.
Include the loca-
tion of the centroid of the cross section in the graphic along
with lines defining the
principal axes.
5. Generate a library of cross sections, including some simple
ones (e.g., a rectangular
cross sections) to verify the code. Include in your library as

12. many of the following
cross sections as you can get done:
a. Solid rectangle with width b and height h.
b. Solid circle of radius R.
c. Rectangular tube with different wall thickness on top and
bottom.
d. I-beam with flange width b, web depth d, flange thickness tf,
and web
thickness tw.
e. Angle section with different leg lengths and leg thicknesses.
f. Circular tube with outside radius R and wall thickness t.
g. T-beam.
6. Use the program to explore aspects of the problem. For
example,
a. Why is it more efficient to use an open circular tube for
torsion rather than
a solid cylinder?
b. For beam bending we can control deflections and reduce
stresses with a
large moment of inertia about the axis of bending. Show the
trade-offs

13. available in an I-beam when you can select different web and
flange depths
and thicknesses.
c. Explore any other feature of the problem that you find
interesting.
Write a report documenting your work and the results (in accord
with the specification
given in the document Guidelines for Doing Computing
Projects). Post it to the Critviz
website prior to the deadline. Note that there is only one
submission for this problem (the
final submission).
