Besides the addition of individual x- and y-axis labels for each plot, extra tick marks were added in the published version to show scale. This is unnecessary because only a luminance contrast value of 1 (green line) is meaningful; how much smaller or larger the gray bars are than this value does not offer any insight or clarification. /V132/N60/graphics/productengineering-2.html Priya Garg—The Tech The Blue Team presents their product, StormShield, which provides environmental protection for cyclists. /V132/N60/graphics/productengineering-3.html Priya Garg—The Tech The Red Team presents Heatware, a flameless outdoor cooker. /V132/N60/graphics/productengineering-1.html Tiffany Ira Huang—The Tech Kresge Auditorium’s facade shines with various colored banners corresponding to the different teams presenting in the 2.009 Product Engineering Processes final project milestone Monday night. /V132/N60/graphics/idt.html By Tiffany Ira Huang Staff Photographer A barred owl was spotted in the East Campus courtyard last week.

According to MIT Police Sergeant Amoroso, the individual was transported to Cambridge Hospital and no charges were filed, with further disciplinary action up to the administration. A trail of blood led from Baker, to a bathroom in the Student Center, to the corner of Ames and Amherst through the basement of the Infinite. /V132/N60/graphics/wang.html /V132/N60/graphics/dancetroupe.html Jessica L.

The sale featured ceramic sculptures and vessels by MIT students, faculty, and staff. The MIT Glass Lab also held a sale in Lobby 10. Both sales continue today. /V132/N60/graphics/fire.html John A. Hawkinson—The Tech The Cambridge Fire Department responded to MIT five times on Sunday night to vandalism by a Boston University student. Within a few minutes of each other, fire pull stations in the Student Center (W20) and Kresge Auditorium (W16) were pulled shortly before 10 p.m., evacuating both buildings. Within the next hour, the same happened in Building 13, where power was also lost throughout much of the building, presumably from the perpetrator flipping circuit breakers. In the next hour, the Fire Department returned another time in response to an alarm in Building 31 (the Sloan Automobile Lab). MIT Police apprehended the suspected vandal — apparently with the assistance of MIT people who chased and caught him — and said he was a BU student. The Fire Department returned to Bldg. 31 for the fifth and last time just after 11 p.m. in response to a water flow alarm. An emergency eyewash on the third floor had been activated, causing flooding on the third and second floors, and requiring Facilities electricians to come in and assess damage. Cambridge Fire finally left MIT around 11:55 p.m., and MIT Facilities restored power to Bldg. 31 an hour later. /V132/N60/graphics/holidaysale.html Emily Kellison-Linn—The Tech Amita Gupta ’15 checks out the cacti sold by local artisan Dave Holmstead at the Holiday Vendor Fair last Tuesday. The annual event, sponsored by the Campus Activities Complex, featured several local vendors. Soaps, necklace charms, and scarves among other items were sold in the Student Center throughout the day.
