Common questions about developing educational apps

Submitted by Julian J. Rimoli on

This afternoon, I had an extremely pleasant Google hangout with Daniel Suo, and Professors Zhigang Suo and Teng Li . Our main focus was on brainstorming ideas on how to improve the user experience on iMechanica. After an hour or so our conversation drifted towards educational topics including novel ways of incorporating technology in STEM education.



Navier-Stokes model with viscous strength

Submitted by Konstantin Volokh on

In the laminar mode interactions
among molecules generate friction between layers of water that slide with
respect to each other. This friction triggers the shear stress, which is
traditionally presumed to be linearly proportional to the velocity gradient.
The proportionality coefficient characterizes the viscosity of water. Remarkably,
the standard Navier-Stokes model surmises that materials never fail – the transition
to turbulence can only be triggered by some kinematic instability of the flow. This
premise is probably the reason why the Navier-Stokes theory fails to explain

Multiple Positions in Interactive Computing at RPI

Submitted by Suvranu De on

The Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites
applications for multiple positions (Research Assistant Professor,
Research Scientist/Research Associate, postdc) to work on projects
funded by the NIH on developing interactive computational technology.  Desirable background for this position
includes:
