Syria's war: Who is fighting and why

Image
After four-plus years of fighting, Syria's war has killed at least hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions. And, though it started as a civil war, it's become much more than that. It's a proxy war that has divided much of the Middle East, and has drawn in both Russia and the United States. To understand how Syria got to this place, it helps to start at the beginning and watch it unfold:

CLEAN ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Powering modern-day devices  In the quest for high-energy storage devices, stretchable supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries will likely emerge as the primary power source for modern-day portable electronic devices, satellites and even electric vehicles. At UD, faculty members in mechanical engineering are prompting new technologies to meet this growing demand.  Deformable energy storage devices   Advances in flexible electronic technology are inspiring UD researchers to create novel electronic devices that can bend, stretch and deform for a broad range of applications, impeded only by the lack of available flexible power sources. Supercapacitors are attracting attention for their ability to generate energy and power densities higher than conventional dielectric capacitors and lithium ion batteries, respectively. Lightweight and flexible carbon nanotubes, in the form of free-standing thin films, are favored for their high surface area, efficient charge storage and excell

What can I do with a major in Mechanical engineering ?

ACTIVITIES MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MAJORS DO: Mechanical engineers design and develop power-producing machines, such as internal combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, and jet and rocket engines. They use computers not only to form preliminary designs for systems or devices, but also to perform calculations that will predict the behavior of the design and to collect and analyze performance data. Mechanical engineers also design and develop power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, robots, machine tools, material handling systems, and industrial production equipment. Mechanical engineers design tools needed by other engineers to do their work. They combine practical and technical skills with analytical and intellectual pursuits, while valuing work that requires research and a high level of creativity. In addition, mechanical engineers may work in production operations in manufacturing or agriculture, maintenance, or technical sales. Many mecha

Student Organizations

ASME The ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) at Texas A&M University is the second largest ASME student chapter in the world. ASME hosts weekly meetings where industry representatives come and present information about their companies and provide career advice to the student engineers. MEEN Girls was established as part of ASME to foster a community among females interested in the field of mechanical engineering while educating participants on the benefits of a degree in mechanical engineering.  For more information :  maroonlink.tamu.edu/organization/asme ASHRAE ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) was established in 1959. The Texas A&M Branch of the Houston Chapter of ASHRAE aids in the continuing education of students in the Colleges of Engineering and Architecture in Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC).   For more information :  ashrae.tamu.edu Materials Advantage The Material Advantage Studen

How to find and contact/mail a Supervisor/Professor

How to find and contact/mail a Supervisor/Professor WAQAR BAIG Students who need to contact supervisors for grants/scholarships for MS and PhD especially in South Korea, Australia, New Zealand etc. They have to find supervisors first and then contacting them. How to find Supervisors/Professors 1) Find the list of universities, you want to apply for by writing in google.com. e.g., “Universities in Australia”, “Universities in South Korea”. You will get whole list of universities there. 2) Finalize your area of interest; you can finalize your area of interest by looking at your final year project, subject in which you are best, some already done research or some tool in your filed you are best for example programmers in Computer science field. So find as many keywords as you can from them, for example programmers and CS people can use keyword, image processing or computer vision or data analysis etc. 3) Open google.com and write the research area of inte

Scholarship Guide for South Korea

SYED MOHSIN RAZA JAFRI Scholarship Guide for South Korea NAIKI KA BDLA NAIKI K ELAVA AUR KIA HO SKTA HA (AL-QURAN) Note: Please also use these videos for guidance: South Korea is one of the countries offering a lot of scholarships in every field. Please read below, with much attention, you will understand every thing Dear All, Let me explain to you that in Korea the easiest way to get admission and scholarship (both fee and living expenses) is first of all, you should search relevant professors of your choice and research interest. Then you should make a good CV according to the interest of those relevant professors and send him/her that CV along with a short email stating your introduction and show your interest that you want to do master/Ph.D under his/her supervision.If a professor shows interest it means almost you have 99% chances that your admission is confirmed. To increase your chance of acceptance, you can include, cover letter and research

Brake A brake is a device by means of which artificial friction resistance is applied to a moving machine member, in order to retard or stop the motion of machine. Clutch A clutch is a device which use to keep the driving and driven member moving together. Torque or Turning Force Torque  is the twisting force that tends to cause rotation. The point where the object rotates is known as the axis of rotation. Mathematically,  torque  can be written as T = F * r * sin(theta), and it has units of Newton-meters. Couple Two forces those acts on equally, parallel & oppositely on two separate points of same material. Moment It is the amount of moving effect which is gained for action of turning force. Stress: It is the force that can prevent equal & opposite force. That means, it is the preventing force. If one force acts on outside of a material, then a reactive force automatically acts to protest that force. The amount of reactive force pe
