OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The Title V Cooperative Project between the University of Puerto Rico- Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC) and Universidad Central del Caribe (UCC) has trained US, GS and F (participants) of HSPs to engage them in CTR. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: First stage of the training sessions (TS) dealt with the theory of CTR. After TS and responding to their research interests, as answered in a questionnaire, the participants formed a CTMT, under the mentorship of a well-established CT researcher. This, as a prelude to their hands-on experiences in Intensive Development and Experiences in Advancement of Research and Increased Opportunities (IDEARIO), for which a research proposal is needed. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Five (5) CTMTs were formed in different research areas – cardio, neuro, liver, renal, Zika–, as submitted in their research concept papers.Eight (8) CT researchers are currently mentoring 2 US, 7 GS and 6 F of HSPs through the CTMTs. They have submitted a research proposal, as a bridge between the theory in the TS and the practice in IDEARIO. Five (5) proposals were received and 2 of them approved, while the other 3 are in the evaluation process. We will present the composition, research topics, development of research and the feedback of participants in IDEARIO and CTMTs. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The CTMTs and their respective proposals are effective strategies for the mentoring of US, GS and F in CTR.

The number of Arabic documents and manuscripts of historical significance found in the Sudan is constantly growing. The national repository for such material is the National Records Office (NRO) in Khartoum, but a substantial collection of photographed, photocopied, and microfilmed documents has also been built up at the Department of History, University of Bergen, Norway. Most of this material has been brought together as a result of fieldwork in various parts of the Sudan in connection with historical research. However, at the end of the 1970s the NRO launched a campaign to collect private documents in the rural areas, with good results. Another step in the same direction was taken in 1986, when a four years' cooperative project between the Department of History, University of Bergen, Norway, and the NRO in Khartoum, was started. Organized joint field expeditions were planned and carried out from 1987 onwards for the purpose of locating and photographing private documents. This project is financed by the Norwegian Aid Agency (NORAD) and the University of Bergen, and is part of a larger program of cooperation with the University of Khartoum. Bjørkelo is the project leader on the Bergen side and Dr. Ali S. Karrar is the local coordinator in the NRO. The 1987 expedition went to al-Matamma, al-Dāmar, Berber, Ghubush, and Kadabās in the north and photographed 196 documents. The following year various religious centres of the Gezira were visited and another 96 documents were photographed. Research on these acquisitions is planned or in progress.

Academia has always sought to ride the line between established thought and new developments. No much more so than in the terms of technology. Universities seek to teach using known and proven methods and resources but also stay relevant with new technologies to provide students the knowledge they will need to be competitive in the work place or graduate field. In this work we will present how the University of Nevada approaches this problem with its Real Time Operating system course. Namely on how using the established Micro C/OS II Real time Operating System with the new builder phenomena the Raspberry Pi we can overcome the challenge of updating a tried and true lesson plan in order to use technology relevant and interesting to the students of today.

This document addresses tillage associated with vegetable production on reclaimed phosphatic clays and summarizes the research findings from the Mined Lands Research/Demonstration Project (MLRDP), a cooperative project involving the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS), Florida Institute of Phosphate Research (FIPR), the Polk County Board of Commissioners, and the phosphate industry. This project functioned from 1985 through 1994. This document is intended for growers, land managers, and mining industry land-use planners and assumes a familiarity with basic soil tillage and vegetable horticultural processes. This document is SL223, a fact sheet of the Soil and Water Science Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Originally published as SS-MLR-4 in June 1993. Revised March 2005 as SL223.

Chair Design

This research aims to develop design solutions for all the obstacles that workers face during the sewing process, and these solutions are focused on the following: chair design, sewing table design and sewing machine pedal. The design of the workplace includes the order of the components of the work according to the ability of the human body to handle lighting, ventilation and noise. Both the university and research centre consider that the purpose of the research is to examine these obstacles and propose appropriate solutions that could eliminate these occupational diseases that result from the process of sewing, and increase the production rates and quality which will consequently stimulate the Egyptian economy. The research originates from the work of an integrated regulatory framework of design tools and equipment used for the sewing process and the related work place in accordance with design ergonomic objectives that when achieved, will accelerate the performance and quality of production, and prevent occupational diseases resultant from poor design. The research has also developed a set of recommendations that deal with the deficiencies in the performance of the sewing process, in order to raise the competitiveness of the garment industry in Egypt.

Practice Period

Students who are enrolled in vocationally oriented construction degree programmes can immensely benefit from work practice arrangements. Traditionally such work practice arrangements are organised as a “placement year” during or immediately after the degree programme. Further, these arrangements are often “work place based” practice arrangements requiring students to be based at the work place during the practice period. This system has some significant issues, especially when considering how and when the “learning” takes place. “Multi-disciplinary project” is a module designed to be a part of a vocationally oriented, combined construction undergraduate programme at the University of Salford, United Kingdom, aiming to overcome the issues of work place based work practice arrangements. As a part of this paper, pedagogical principles behind the module design are evaluated based on current literature, examining how previous research have informed the design of this module. Issues encountered during the delivery of the module are also discussed within this paper, based on the unstructured data collected while responding to student inquires and through observations. Nature of those issues are analysed by revisiting current literature, and possible solutions are discussed based on the findings of some of the previous research projects.

A research project in freshwater ecology is described whose main intentions are: 1) to increase the contact between the University of Oslo and a local community; 2) to solve actual problems for the local community by prosecuting applied research without interfering with the researchers' demand for free choice of research items; and 3) to allow for a larger student population without increasing the supervisory staff (compatible with steadily falling grants).The Voss Project is a cooperative project between the Zoological Institute of the University of Oslo and the Voss District Council, western Norway. It was initiated to analyse the Voss River system, which is threatened by eutrophication and water-power development.The research is mainly carried out by Cand.Real. students, who live for 1–2 years in the local community. During the work, an intensive exchange of information about biological and social items, and about municipal politics, naturally takes place.
