Check out makershed.com for a complete line of Arduino products. This is the 3rd installment of my Aduino How-To Tuesdays. This week I am going to cover using another basic part, the potentiometer. I will also cover connecting a servo to the Arduino. Servos can be hard to control, but not with the Arduino! That’s just another reason why I love this little micro-controller.

Jay Lund [Professor of Environmental Engineering, UC Davis] Abstract: Most water in the West is used for economic purposes and managed using a wide range of facilities and activities, but must obey physical laws. In California, these aspects of water management have been integrated in a hydro-economic model (CALVIN) to explore the capabilities of these water systems to respond economically to changes. Changed conditions include combinations of institutional conditions, population growth, climate change, failure of facilities, new technologies, and environmental restoration. Even simple hydro-economic models, despite their limitations, can produce an integrated understanding and significant policy insights. Biography: Jay Lund has research and teaching interests in the application of systems analysis, economic, and management methods to infrastructure and public works problems. His recent work is primarily in water resources and environmental system engineering, but with substantial work in solid and hazardous waste management, dredging and coastal zone management, and some dabbling in urban, regional, and transportation planning. While most of this work involves the application of economics, optimization, and simulation modeling, his interests also include more qualitative policy, planning, and management studies.

Mental phenomena are nothing but phenomena of the physical brain, says Patricia Churchland. It’s “an illusion of the brain” to think that we have a “nonphysical soul that does our feeling.” But how the brain creates constructs of itself and things in the world remains a major puzzle. For instance, how does a brain “habitually represent goals, plans and projects — things that don’t yet exist?” And what about the huge amount of spontaneous activity in the brain that occurs while we’re resting? We don’t understand how the “organization of a motor response is achieved,” nor how these responses are integrated across sensory systems together with memory. Churchland anticipates a fundamental shift in looking at the brain that will merge philosophical and neurobiological issues.

This video was created for our ENDS 101 class at Texas A&M University. We were asked to speculate on how our lives might change by 2030 due to “singularity,” or the idea that knowledge growth will continue to accelerate due to technology improvements.
