 | The scientific and technical objectives of Pulse!! The Virtual Clinical Learning Lab are consistent with the original proposal; viz., to test whether game-based technologies provide learning environments for the acquisition of clinical knowledge and critical thinking leading to differential diagnostic skills for the practice of medicine. Selected patient physiological traits have been created and complex object functions have been scripted. A further technical objective was creation of case-authoring capabilities for ... |

 | Our goal is an extensive tank validation of the Optical Turbulence Sensor (OTS). This sensor uses a Hartman optical wavefront sensor to determine turbulence characteristics and to characterize the particulate field. In our configuration the wavefront sensor has been able to quantify simultaneously turbulent and particulate scattering for particles larger is larger than 50 microns. |

 | In Jul 2005, Packery Channel was opened by Hurricane Emily during the second year of its construction. This inlet connects Corpus Christi Bay and Upper Laguna Madre to the Gulf of Mexico, and it is the first artificially cut inlet in Texas in 17 years. The inlet has remained open and navigable for shallow-draft recreational boats despite construction delays, and its parallel dual jetties were completed in Sep 2006. A ... |
