Transmission line construction projects may face resistance from multiple sources. Much of the opposition can be attributed to specific features of the terrain, such as rivers, forests, railroads, and gas lines. Other features, however, are not in specific locations, but follow and vary along the entire length of the line. These non-point impacts include the line's visual impact, magnetic and electric fields, and radio and audible noise. This paper explores these features and their effects on routing decisions. A method of incorporating them into a Geographic Information System (GIS) has been developed to analyze their effects in and around the proposed right of way. An example is provided using data from the El Segundo Power Redevelopment project.

In Fall 2000, the Clark School of engineering at the University of Maryland, in cooperation with the Smith School of Business, created a unique residential entrepreneurship educational model - the Hinman Campus Entrepreneurship Opportunities (CEOs) program. The program.is based on an input/output model in which the input is undergraduate students with a strong entrepreneurial drive;the system is an incubator-like entrepreneurial community environment and a variety of resources including education, networking, teaming and mentoring;and the output is students with substantial entrepreneurial knowledge and experience in operating real companies. This paper profiles four venture models operated by current Hinman CEOs students including students who are creating both high-tech and low-tech for-profit businesses.

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is an urban, regional university that serves a primarily Hispanic student population. UTEP has developed an academic model that includes curricular and co-curricular activities. A major component of the project, the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. is a centralized effort providing funding for selected science and engineering undergraduates to participate in research projects under the guidance of a faculty mentor. program.assessment includes qualitative and quantitative assessment and the longitudinal tracking of student participants. The results from this comprehensive study demonstrate that the large majority of students who have participated in this program.persist and graduate in Science, Technology, engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. To date, 88 percent of the 303 participants have graduated, 6 percent are still enrolled in either the College of Science or College of engineering (undergraduate), and only 5 percent have stopped out. More than a third (37%) have either earned an advanced degree or are currently pursuing a graduate degree.
In this paper, we discuss edge detection by first using a clustering algorithm followed by a known edge detection filter such as Canny or Generalized Edge Detector (GED). We developed a new clustering method called Se...
