Aleksandra Gryko (chemical engineering) is an intern at Gage Products, a chemical plant in Ferndale.
Brinson Willis,graduate research assistant, Ken Reardon, chemcial engineering professor, and Omon Herigstad, undergraduate research assistant, testing the biosensor system they have developed for on site continuous measurement of agricultural pesticides.
Bamboo fiber ecomat and plant growth medium is made from 100% natural original bamboo fiber. It also be called side slope fixture net, ecomat, ecological growth medium, or soil ameliorant.
The new material is with 6 times water conservation capability than coconut and palm fiber ecomat products, and it is 100% biodegradable in soil during two years without bring any new pollution to the soil.
What is more, it enjoys high compatibility and near the same acid degree with natural soil, so it could be used as a natural soil ameliorant materials in some ecological restoration project.
Because bamboo fiber is full of nutrients so this kind of ecomat need not any extra addition of nourishments. The application of this materials included: urbanization gardening, side slope greening, ecological restoration, water and soil conservation, engergy saving and environmental protection, erosion control and water treatment, as well as emerging argriculture, roofing farming, ect.

The locomotive built to lead a nation at war.
A build long in the making...for well over a year and spanning many life changes that attempted to derail this project, Union Pacific #844 finally emerges from my workshop.
UP #844 has captured my imagination since childhood, appearing in several mini-series, TV shows and ads from the early 1990’s. With a sleek body, brutish flat face, high stepping drivers and enormous smoke deflectors, it embodies every definition of monstrous speed and power.
Manufactured by the American Locomotive Company and delivered to UP in 1944 to accommodate both wartime traffic and the projected increase in passenger service after the war, #835-844 were built upon the nearly perfected FEF-1 and FEF-2 series of locomotives delivered between 1937-1939. The entire FEF-3 series proved to be a masterpiece of design and was continuously called upon to lead top priority freight and passenger service.
#844 was delivered on a cold December day in 1944 as the final steam locomotive ever received by UP. Truly an unsleeping giant, #844 is the only steam locomotive of any American Class 1 railroad that has never been struck from the roster. Throughout her revenue career, she headed express freight, fast mail, and the most prestigious passenger trains of the central high plains and mountainous west – The Overland Limited, Los Angeles Limited, Portland Rose, and Pony Express.
Fitted with 80-inch drivers and a 300 psi operating boiler pressure, #844 generates 63,800 lbs of tractive effort. She was designed to comfortably haul a 1,000-ton train at 100 mph and would regularly run at 120 mph.
Significant research was put into this model. Before even laying out the frame I had compiled an 80-year timeline documenting every minor, and major, upgrade, repainting, and alteration. I had one specific goal in mind: to capture her high-speed passenger service essence. As such, I have modeled her exactly as she would have appeared in April of 1949 – oil burning, with a Sellers exhaust steam injector and painted in the famous two-tone gray of Armour Yellow and Harbor Mist Gray. I am proud to say that this is one of the most accurate representations of a two-tone gray FEF-3 in the modeling world.
This model is 8-wide and precisely 1:48 scale. #844 represents the absolute apex of duel-service steam and I want this model to represent nothing less. It is powered by two L power function motors in a 1:1 gear ratio so that she has both high tractive effort and can travel at high speed. The tender is fitted with a power functions control switch and two V2 IR receivers, one dedicated to each motor, powered by a 20c 7.4V Turnigy battery.
I design all my models with usability in mind. That being said, due to the #844’s unavoidable long legs, the locomotive can technically snake its way through R56 curves but is much happier with R120. I will pride myself in saying that the tender can navigate R40 due to my engineering of a unique design to conquer the flexibility challenges that plagues centipede tenders.
Custom wheels and drivers were sourced from Brick Train Depot and Breckland Bricks while the Walschaerts valve gear is from Trained Bricks. I want to particularly thank Monty’s Trains who designed and printed all stickers you see on this model. Monty also provided the technical experience that allowed me to upgrade from a standard Lego battery pack to the vastly superior LiPo world.
I strive to make my models both detailed and accessible. As such, instructions ARE available for this model in both two-tone gray and black (accurately dated to July 1954). Additionally, both liveries come with simple and complex valve gear instructions.
Today known as The Living Legend, UP #844 is the last of a great breed and represents the absolute apex of duel-service steam as one of the most powerful, prestigious and well-engineered Northern type locomotives of all time.
I feel extremely grateful to the Union Pacific Steam Team for ensuring that, through unquantifiable amounts of continuous labor, #844’s clock is not approaching twilight, but held at dawn. She is poised to travel the high iron for time eternal, forever roaring across the heartland plains and into the rising sun.
Thank you everyone for taking time to read this post, I greatly appreciate your questions, comments and praise. This model represents the end of a personal era, and I appreciate all the encouragement and support that I received from the community along the way. Railroading and Lego modeling are my passions, and I am happy to be part of these growing communities.

The College of Engineering introduced a new volunteer board this year to guide its plans to expand alumni programs and outreach. The goal of the council is to increase the value of a Wayne State engineering and computer science degree. The 24-person board will enable members of the Engineering Alumni Association to network individually as well as at university and college-hosted events, and through social media. The council will also create opportunities for alumni to volunteer their time and expertise to help prepare students for successful careers.

Simon Palanjian is an intern with Fairway Engineering, LLC in Wixom. He is training as an engineering technician, performing concrete and density tests, and working directly on road construction and building foundations. “I work directly under a professional engineer. This is what I would like to be doing myself one day.”
A BCI provides a direct link between the brain and an external device. 20 years ago, BCIs could only spell or move computer cursors. Today, BCIs are being used in many different fields of neuroscience, such as motor rehabilitation for stroke patients, assessment of and communication with coma patients, control of devices for disabled people, cognitive training or neuromarketing. Machine learning, dry electrodes, wireless electrode caps, and other technologies are making BCIs more powerful and practical for a growing number of users. The BR41N.IO Brain-Computer Interface Designers Hackathon Series has been created to show these current and future developments, and the unlimited possibilities of BCIs in creative or scientific fields, and brings together engineers, programmers, designers and artists.
