Combien d’objets dans une image ?
Dans cet exposé Jean-Jacques Lévy propose de décortiquer quelques algorithmes d'étiquetage des objets dans une image, c'est à dire de segmentation de cette image en régions homogènes, et de regarder en détail la complexité algorithmique d'un tel mécanisme. Cela permet de montrer dans un cas concret, quels formalismes permettent d'analyser les performances d'un algorithme et de vérifier sa validité. On y croise la fonction d’Ackermann dont le rôle est essentiel en informatique

Orchestrating cell separation in plants: What are the risks and benefits?
In this podcast, Professor Roberts from the School of Biosciences discusses his research into the mechanism responsible for regulating cell separation in plants. In particular how plants ‘shed’ parts of themselves such as leaves or fruit. Professor Roberts explores the potential application of his research, through prevention or encouraging of the ‘shedding’ proces

Immunology, Winter 2008
General Learning Objectives for Immunology
1. To understand the structural and genetic basis of diversity and specificity of immunoglobulins and T cell receptors.
2. To understand the utility of antibodies in many clinical tests for proteins, hormones, etc.
3. To understand the events that hallmark the antigen-independent and antigen-dependent phases of B cell differentiation.
4. To understand the diversity of MHC molecules, and how that diversity differs from immunoglobulin and T cell rece
Inside the Cell
This brochure explores the smallest form of life: the cell. Discover what's happening inside your body. See basic structures that let your cells accomplish their tasks. Learn about functions shared by virtually all cells: making fuel and proteins, transporting materials, and disposing of wastes. Find out how cells specialize to get their unique jobs done -- and how cells reproduce, age, and die.

The Transformative Power of Shakespeare
University of Notre Dame Composition Professor Nicole MacLaughlin recognized how the transformative power of teaching and performing the words of William Shakespeare could impact her first-year writing students. As members of one of Notre Dame's 70 community-based learning courses, MacLaughlin's first-year composition students are paired with participants in the University's Robinson Community Learning Center Shakespeare Program, who range from 8 to18 years old.

This fifteen minute video is about Jame Watt and his life in the 1770s. It slowly shows how a steam engine works with good graphics. It also explains the expansion of the steam engine outside of water pumps and how a random act gave Watt an idea on how to make a more efficient steam engine. Good insights into how Watt felt. There is an advertisement in the middle of the video that should be skipped. A drawing of the steam engine would be of benefit. Of note is his use of horsepower as a measurem
