The document outlines an interdisciplinary project scenario where students take on roles to help a fictional island transition to renewable energy sources after being cut off from fossil fuel supplies. Students would learn about renewable energy types, conduct experiments, and work together across subjects like science, technology, geography to evaluate options and come up with solutions. Key skills developed include problem solving, practical activities, interpreting evidence, and working on an interdisciplinary project.

E2S2 2011 Renewable Energy Lessons LearnedJeffrey Riegle
With the latest executive orders, legislation, and public pressure, the military has turned to renewable energy as a way to use old ideas, and utilize new technologies to meet their goals. The Department of Defense (DoD) has funded several projects that have advanced the knowledge of renewable energy, such as solar, waste to energy, and ground source heat pumps, and how it can be applied in many locations.
This presentation will talk about how Tucson Air National Guard Base in Arizona, was able to determine not only how to produce as much energy as they used, but also to produce enough solar energy to become an energy island. The presentation will also discuss the challenges and lessons inherent in constructing these solar energy generation systems, much like the ones currently installed at Buckley AFB, CO and Colorado State University.
Also, the presentation will discuss the ongoing feasibility study at Kadena AB in Japan, for a waste to energy plant. This case study will talk about the needed materials, information, and demands that make such an endeavor attractive. The presentation will also discuss some of the helpful by-products that come with this technology. The feasibility study looked at digestion, incineration, and plasma arc technologies to determine which was the best for the location. Lessons learned from the Hurlburt Waste to Energy plant were used, and will be discussed, as well.
Finally, the DoD has seen an explosion in Ground Source Heat Pump Installations over the past few years. The presentation will discuss where this technology is best suited, lessons learned from construction, and talk about specific challenges for case studies at Cannon AFB, NM; Minot AFB, ND; Altus AFB, TX; Sheppard AFB, TX; and Vance AFB, OK.
This presentation is a “must-see" for anyone interested in cost-effective renewable energy at their location.

BUILDING AN EFFICIENT SOLAR CHARGER AND COMPARING ITS CHARGING SPEEDS WITH A ...SukhpreetSingh164
Abstract of the Research Paper
Energy sources using exhaustible energy at its input are being discouraged because they cause significant damage to the environment and human beings. Solar energy is considered one among the clean and green energy sources because it takes sunlight as its input which is a renewable energy source. There are many places in the world where electricity is not constant or not available. There are also cases where solar energy is neglected by people simply because of a lack of knowledge of its efficiency, and it is basically considered non-efficient. The purpose of this research is to build a solar charger, test its workability, and compare its efficiency with a regular wall charger to provide information for it to be used by both rural and urban people. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used appropriately, and most efficient circuit parts and appropriate testers were used in this research study to achieve the objectives. It was found that the solar charger was almost as efficient as a regular wall charger. There were some factors which decrease the efficiency of the solar charger which may be analyzed by future researchers on this concept. In conclusion, after being found that a solar charger is as efficient as a regular wall charger, its use must be encouraged by both rural and urban people.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
