CASE STUDY 1Thirty six year old Johnson was in his last semester of his graduate program in Civil engineering. Father of two small children, he was anxious to get his degree so that he could spend more time with his family. Going to school and holding down a full-time job not only kept him from his family but also shifted more parental responsibility to his wife Julie but also the end was in sight, and he could look forward both to a better job and to being a better father and husband.Johnson was following in the footsteps of his father, who received a graduate degree in chemical engineering just months before his 60th birthday! Julie understood how important getting a graduate degree was to Johnson, and she never complained about the long hours he spent studying. But she, too, was anxious for this chapter in their lives to end.As part of his requirement to complete his graduate research and obtain his advanced degree, Johnson was required to develop a research report. Most of the data strongly supported Johnson's conclusions as well as prior conclusions developed by others. However, a few aspects of the data were at variance and not fully consistent with the conclusions contained in his report. Convinced of the soundness of his report and concerned that inclusions of the ambiguous data would detract from and distort the essential thrust of the report, Johnson wondered if it would be all right to omit references to the ambiguous data.In this case, it seems clear why Johnson is tempted to omit references to the ambiguous data. He is understandably anxious to graduate and move on to other challenges in his professional life. He is worried that full disclosure of his findings could slow down this process that has imposed a heavy burden on his family.Questions:
a. Is it right for Johnson to omit reference to the data? Can the omission of the data be deceptive even when there is no intention to deceive?
b. Will Johnson's actions have any implications for future researchers?
c. What are the relevant kinds of ethical considerations (Code of ethics) that should be brought to bear on the situation?
a round steel rod, 25 mm in diameter, subjected to a bending moment of 160 Nxm. calculate the maximum bending stress.
For a .15 micrometer diameter spherical particle (density of particle = 2500 kg/cubic meter) determine the Cunningham correction factor at standard conditions.
Water enters the pump of a steam power plant as saturated liquid at 20 kPa at a rate of 45 kg/s and exits at 6 MPa. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies and assuming the process to be reversible
A hollow rectangular steel beam is 18 cm deep by 10 cm wide, outside dimensions. The walls are 2 cm in thickness. From the shear and moment diagram, the maximum vertical shear on the section is 180 kN.
Determine whether municipal wastewater containing 5 mg/L of selenium is a RCRA hazardous waste
A Fe-.25 w/o Carbon alloy is sloly cooled to 700 degrees C. What is the composition of the Ferrite(alfa) phase and what is the compositon of the cementite(Fe3C) phase. Whate are the relative fractions of ferrite and cementite
Stripping overburden in the Illinois coal belt, the Dusty Coal Company uses 270-horsepower, track-type tractors (with direct-drive transmissions) and drawn scrapers.
The program should use both the maximum shearing-strength criterion and the maximum-distortion-energy criterion. It should also print the values of the principal stresses and, if the material does not yield, calculate the factor of safety.
The zebra mussels have a net growth rate of 0.09 yr-1. At the current time there are 176 zebra mussels in the stream. What is the predicted number of zebra mussels 5, 10, and 20 years from now
The shovel's production at a 100% efficiency is estimated to be 300 BCY/h. and efficiency is 0.80. Truck travel time is estimated to be 8.0 minutes, and truck fixed cycle time (excluding loading ) is estimated to be 2 minutes.
The longitudinal slope of the swale is to be 1.5% with side slopes of 5:1 (H:V). If the grassed swale has a Manning's n of 0.030 and a minimum infiltration rate of 200 mm/hr, determine the length of the swale required.
Given that the average power plant produces 667 MW of electricity per year, there are 492 coal plants in the US, and a solar constant of 1.361 KW/m^2, how large of an area would one need to cover with solar cells to replace our dependence on coal ..
