In Lecture 1, we explored how “liberty” was interpreted by the Founders of the American Constitution. These Founding Fathers were influenced by political philosophers who argued that liberty is always at risk, and because of that risk, liberty must be protected, not just by the leaders of a nation, but also by the citizens.

While our founding fathers realized government was necessary to protect the citizens from criminals and outsiders (Lecture 2, comments about the King of England), they were concerned with amount of power the government should be given. To ensure that the people maintained power, the first Ten (10) Amendments (also called: The Bill of Rights) were added.

For this week’s assignment, write a 500-750 word essay addressing each of the following questions:

• What is liberty? Provide a definition and at least one example.
• Why does it matter? Explain what you think the citizens of a nation might gain or lose through their liberty.
• What is your personal responsibility to protect it? Provide examples of what you can do, what you should do, and what you must do.
• In modern times, do you think Americans have gained/maintained liberty in the way the Founding Fathers described it in the Constitution? Why or why not?

As in all your weekly written assignments, be sure to tie your writing to the readings for that week. You should strive to demonstrate to your instructor (and to the rest of the university) your full understanding of the course concepts being addressed. Don't just answer the questions; really think them through. How will your ideas fit within Locke's "social contract?"

Increasing the Use of Natural Gas and the Kyoto Protocol
Pedro A. Perez
University of Utep Increasing the Use of Natural Gas and the Kyoto Protocol
Introduction In the midst of the struggle to combat global warming and the resultant climate
change is the unprecedented increase in the amounts of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere. A greenhouse gas denotes a gaseous compound in the atmosphere that has
the capacity to absorb infrared radiation, consequently trapping and holding heat. Hence,
greenhouse gases lead to the greenhouse effect because they increase the atmospheric
heat. Hence, this paper analyzes two different genres concerning their coverage
concerning increasing the use of natural gas to reduce greenhouse gases. Exxon Mobil
will help sustain a better because the Kyoto protocol requires Exxon to reduce
greenhouse gases. The Wall Street Journal falls under the typography genre. The article
by Daniel Gilbert is titled “Exxon, Shell Carbon Emissions Rise Though Pumping
Drops” and implies that Exxon is finding it difficult to tap new energy sources and that it
should be excused for the continued greenhouse emissions. On the other hand, CNN falls
under the iconography genre. Its broadcast titled “'Brazen assault on the EPA' implies that
Exxon and other oil producing companies must strive to weaken the powers of the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because regulating greenhouse emissions is a
costly venture.
Audience and Purpose
There have been concerted efforts to control the emission of greenhouse gases. Essentially, the efforts have included numerous meetings and conferences with stakeholders and the signing of several pacts. Unfortunately, all these efforts are yet to bear fruit as the problem continues to compound. In addition, some states have not been kept their side of the bargain. On the contrary, they have continued to emit gases into the atmosphere with abandon. A critical analysis of the media coverage of the issue shows a certain lack of objectivity. In actual sense, media houses cover news from slightly different angles to ensure the message fits the target audience. Accusations of open bias are common as some people regard the rendition of the message as skewed and calculated
to hoodwink the public. On the other hand, some media houses might harbor ulterior motives for adopting certain stands. They may cover news and events from a certain angle to enable them to achieve predetermined objectives. Hence, the reader must be critical when reading or watching news because what the media presents might not be a true reflection of the situation on the ground. The paper will examine the coverage of the
issue by the Wall Street Journal and Cable News Network (CNN).
The Wall Street Journal contends that Exxon and other major oil producing companies are tapping less oil than they used to do. However, the article argues that the cost of producing oil has gone up tremendously over the last couple of years. In addition, the author asserts that the projects used to produce the oil consume a significant amount of oil. The author cites cooling natural gas to a liquid state and heating heavy oil as one of the projects that consume an enormous amount of oil. For this reason, the article seems
to suggest that Exxon is justified to continue emitting greenhouse emissions because the alternative is costly. In addition, the author wants readers to believe that the company is doing all it can to control greenhouse emissions.
The intended audience appears to be the drafters of the Kyoto Protocol who require Exxon and other companies to limit their greenhouse emissions. The information presented in the article aims to persuade the public to assume a certain standpoint. The article ties with the audience because it tries to persuade readers to accept the author’s viewpoints. The audience is likely want to know efforts made by the company to control greenhouse emissions. The language used by the author is formal and serious because it is intended to persuade the audience to adopt a specific standpoint. On the other hand, the
CNN article is targeted at the government as it seeks the powers of the Congress to strip EPA of its powers. The language is used is formal because it is addressed to the government. The target audience is required or expected to realize EPA’s shortcomings. The main similarity between the two genres is their ability to tailor the message to suit the target audience.
Rhetorical Issues: Ethos, Pathos and Logos
The Wall Street Journal article tries to establish the credibility of the information by citing official company statistics that show a significant rise in the cost of drilling oil. In addition, it tries to elicit an emotional response from the audience by showing that the company could make losses if it had to adhere to the limits for greenhouse emissions. The
article uses established industry analysts to show the trend currently manifesting in the industry. For instance, the article quotes an official of the Tri­State Coalition for Responsible Investment to show that a need exists for curbing carbon emissions but the costs are simply prohibitive (Gilbert, 2014). Similarly, the author uses facts to show that Exxon’s production fell by 6.1% but the emissions increased by 3.7% (Gilbert, 2014). On the contrary, the CNN article tries to highlight the incompetence and incapacity of EPA as a regulatory body. The article claims that EPA lacks the capacity to act as an industry regulator and that another agency is required to carry out the mandate. The article uses plain but persuasive language to pass across this information. It plays with the readers’ minds by emphasizing the need to control carbon and greenhouse emissions. The evidence cited by the article is the rising cases of greenhouse emissions despite the amount of investment in the EPA. In essence, the article achieves this objective because it appeals to the minds of the reader. It also quotes figures that show the rising greenhouse emissions as proof of the failure of the regulatory body. The main similarity between the two genres is the use of figures to reinforce the intended message. They also both use quotes from the industry stakeholders to design and pass the message.
Structure and Delivery
The Wall Street Journal article is more profound in terms of structure and delivery
because of the freedom print media accord the author. In addition, the author has the leeway to design and deliver the message according to the target audience. In essence, the

1. In a processing plant, a chemical tower has a liquid which is vaporized.
However, if the vapor in the tower reaches 150°C, an alarm needs to be
generated so that safe shutdown of that system of the plant may be
initiated. An RTD will be used to measure the temperature of the vapor.
The RTD will generally operate between 80° to 175°C and has a resistance
of 220Ω at 20°C. The fractional change in resistance per 1°C is 0.0040.
The dissipation constant is 25mW/°C. Design a circuit to activate an LED
alarm when the temperature reaches 150 °C. The error should not exceed
+/-1°C. Use a single supply voltage.
a. Draw a block diagram for your design. Explain the function of each
block and why it is needed.
b. Design the circuit showing all calculations. Choose standard resistor
values, and specify the tolerances. Provide a drawing of your circuit
with all resistor values and tolerances and parts. You may do this by
creating it in Multisim and then drawing the values on as
appropriate.
c. Construct the circuit in Multisim using the resistor values you chose
and tolerances. Do a screenshot showing how you have set up the
tolerances for the resistors. For the RTD, you may use a
potentiometer or variable resistor for which you can change the
resistance for different temperatures. If you have a bridge circuit
with a potentiometer for nulling, explain how you decide what
resistance to use for the null.
d. Create a table of temperature, RTD resistance, RTD resistance
adjusted for self-heating, LED Status. Test your circuit, and use the
table to display your results. Find the precise resistance and
temperature at which the LED turns on. Provide several screenshots
showing the resistance which reflects the RTD resistance value
used in the circuit and the LED alarm. Which RTD resistance do you
use in the circuit for testing?
e. Put together all of the above in a well-written report including
introduction, requirements, block diagram, design calculations, final
design (including any potentiometer settings), testing (including
which RTD resistance is used in the circuit for testing), and analysis of results. Be sure to provide a summary at the end, noting at which
temperature the alarm was activated, if this was as designed, and
what accounts for differences. Please note any problems you
encountered. “Week 4 Assignment”
1. A temperature sensor is exposed to a sudden change of 20oC to 80oC. The
sensor outputs 0.02 volts for every oC of temperature and has a 2.3 second
time constant. a. What is the sensor output voltage at 1.5 seconds?
b. At what time, t, does the sensor output become 1.0 volt? 2. A sensor, R, that changes resistance is used in a bridge circuit as shown
below.
a. What sensor resistance, R, will null the bridge?
b. What is the off-null voltage if R changes by 0.5 Ω? 3. A measurement system has noise above 20 kHz and the data signal
frequency is between 100 and 500 Hz. Design an RC filter that reduces the
noise by 95%, i.e., only 5% is left. Show the schematic and the component
values.
4. Given a Type J TC with a 25oC reference.
a. What is the temperature if the TC voltage is 22.87 mV?
b. What voltage would result from a temperature of 225oC?
5. A 10-bit ADC has a 5.00-volt reference.
a. What binary output is produced by an input of 3.04 volts?
b. Suppose the output is found to be 1F4h. What is the possible input
voltage?
6. A 12 bit bipolar DAC has a 10-volt reference.
a. If the hex input is 5D7h what is the DAC output voltage?
b. What input is required to get a zero volt output? Mechanical Sensors Lab
1. A capacitive displacement sensor is used to measure rotating shaft wobble
shown in the figure below. The capacity is 520 pF with no wobble. Find the
change in capacity for a +0.035 to -0.035 mm shaft wobble. Show your
calculations. 2. To measure the displacement, assume that the capacitive pickoff in problem 1 is
used in an AC bridge constructed of only capacitors. Using 520pF for the bridge
capacitors, find the offset bridge voltage for the two extremes of shaft wobble.
Assume a sine wave voltage input having an amplitude of 5 V rms and a frequency
of 5 kHz. Rather than using an equation from the book, you are required to
derive the offset bridge voltage using circuit analysis principles. Show all your
calculations.
3. Using Multisim, construct and simulate the AC bridge of problem 2 for the two
extreme conditions. Be sure to provide screenshots. Also, write a brief
summary, noting if the results matched expected results.

Homework 5
Math 456/556 Question 1 Consider the boundary value problem
uxx = f (x), u(0) = A, ux (1) = B, (a) Find a solution in terms of the Green’s function (see previous homework!), using the Green’s formula
1 uv − vu dx = [uv − vu ]1 .
0
0 Write your answer in terms of known functions rather than just the generic G(x; x0 ) notation.
(b) Check your result with u(x) = 1 − x so that f ≡ 0. Question 2 Find a solution to
uxx − u = f (x), u (0) = A, lim u(x) = 0, x→∞ in terms of the appropriate Green’s function, using the Green’s formula
∞ u(v − v) − v(u − u) dx = [uv − vu ]∞ .
0 0 Recall that the free-space Green’s function was G∞ = − 1 exp(−|x − x0 |).
2 Question 3 (The vortex patch) The so-called streamfunction ψ : R2 → R in fluid mechanics solves ∆ψ =
ω where ω is a measure of the fluid rotation (the velocity field is perpendicular to the gradient of ψ, by the
way). A simple model of a hurricane of radius R has
ω= 1
0 |x| < R,
.
|x| ≥ R. Use the Green’s function appropriate for two dimensions to express the solution ψ as an integral in polar
coordinates. You will want to use the law of cosines
|x − x0 | = |x0 |2 + |x|2 − 2|x||x0 | cos(ϕ)
where ϕ is the angle between vectors x and x0 . Finally, evaluate ψ(0) (you can actually evaluate the integral
in general, but it’s a lot more complicated!). Question 4 (The Helmholtz equation in 3D) We want the Green’s function G(x; x0 ) for the equation
∆u − k 2 u = f (x) in R3 and far field condition limx→∞ u(x) = 0, where k > 0 is some constant.
(a) Like the Laplace equation, we suppose that G only depends on the distance from x to x0 , that is
G(x; x0 ) = g(r) where r = |x − x0 |. Going to spherical coordinates, we find g satisfies the ordinary
differential equation
1 2
(r gr )r − k 2 g = 0, r > 0.
r2
The trick to solving this is the change of variables g(r) = h(r)/r. The equation for h(r) will have exponential solutions.
(b) The constant of integration in part (a) is found just like the Laplacian Green’s function in R3 , using the
normalization condition
ˆ
lim
x G(x; 0) · n dx = 1,
r→0 Sr (0) where Sr (0) is a spherical surface of radius r centered at the origin. (Recall this comes from integrating the
equation for G on the interior of Sr (0) and applying the divergence theorem).
(c) Finally, write down the solution to ∆u − k 2 u = f (x) assuming u → 0 as |x| → ∞. Write the answer
explicitly as iterated integrals in Cartesian coordinates.
Question 5 Find the Green’s function for ∆u = f (x, y) in the first quadrant x > 0, y > 0 where the
boundary/far-field conditions are
u(x, 0) = 0, u(0, y) = 0, lim | u| = 0. |x|→∞ (Hint: locate image sources in each quadrant, choosing their signs appropriately)
Question 6 Consider Laplace’s equation ∆u = 0 in the upper half-plane.
(a) Find the appropriate Green’s function which is subject to boundary conditions
G(x, 0; x0 , y0 ) = 0, lim G(x, y; x0 , y0 ) = 0 y→∞ (b) Use part (a) to write (in Cartesian coordinates) the solution to Laplace’s equation subject to u(x, 0) =
h(x).
(c) Use part (b) to find an explicit solution (not just an integral) if h(x) = H(x), the step function. (Hint:
you may want to use arctan(u) = 1/(1 + u2 )du where the chosen branch of arctan(u) is such that
arctan(±∞) = ±π/2). Check your answer!
Question 7 Consider the problem
∆u = f (r, θ) inside a disk of radius a,
with mixed boundary conditions
u(a, θ) = h1 (θ) for 0 < θ < π, ur (a, θ) = h2 (θ) for π < θ < 2π, (a) What formal problem (equation and boundary conditions) does the Green’s function satisfy? (actually
finding such a Green’s function is not trivial!)
(b) Suppose that the Green’s function, written in polar coordinates as G(r, θ; r0 , θ0 ) is known. Express the
solution u(r, θ) in terms of G. Write integrals and functions explicitly in terms of polar coordinates.
