A Note on Building an Internet Laboratory

The Networking Lab class, offered at Columbia University, follows the series of detailed laboratory experiments presented in Mastering Networks: An Internet Lab Manual by Jörg Liebeherr and Magda El Zarki [8]. In order to conduct these experiments, there is a need to construct and maintain an Internet laboratory composed of routers, hubs, and Linux machines. Since the students performing the ex...

Scientific Note Laboratory Colonization of Aedes Japonicus Japonicus

We describe methodology used for the laboratory colonization of Aedes japonicus japonicus, an exotic mosquito species native to eastern Asia and first collected in New Jersey as larvae in 1999. We created a free mating colony in 2000 that readily bloodfed on restrained bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus). A larval diet of finely ground Purina Lab DietE dissolved in dechlorinated water has prov...

Laboratory Note Laboratory Notes on Experiments with the Acm Ight Simulator

Note: Device for underwater laboratory simulation of unconfined blast waves.

Shock tubes simulate blast waves to study their effects in air under laboratory conditions; however, few experimental models exist for simulating underwater blast waves that are needed for facilitating experiments in underwater blast transmission, determining injury thresholds in marine animals, validating numerical models, and exploring mitigation strategies for explosive well removals. This m...
