Tech Ed North America: Kate Gregory - Modern Native C++ Development for Maximum Productivity Kate Gregory presents Modern Native C++ Development for Maximum Productivity at Tech Ed North America 2011. Go Kate! This session clarifies what features are in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and what is yet to come. It illustrates how new constructs such as lambda expressions enable better use of existing libraries and how your code can be simpler, safer and faster all at the same time. Also, s
Visual Studio Toolbox: Creating and Using Code Snippets In this episode, we explore code snippets, an underappreciated feature of Visual Studio. Code snippets are existing pieces of code. All you have to do is type the snippets shortcut and Visual Studio writes the code for you. Watch as we first use a couple of snippets that ship with Visual Studio. Then, see how to use the Snippet Designer extension and create your own snippets. With this extension, you can highlight code, right-click, and Export as Snippet. Very cool!!

Introduction This unit provides an introduction to the evolution of mammals. We will be considering Darwin's observations on a great many mammals, and how he noticed that species fell into natural groups. We take as an example the evolution of one particularly interesting mammal, the whale, and look at evidence both from fossils and from DNA to see which other mammals are most closely related to whales. We see how the evidence from these two very different sources points to the same relationship and
Pierce Biotechnology
The pedagogical value lies in its concise description of the various analytical derivatization reactions and reagents used for gas chromatography. This site gives a nice description of the various derivatization reagents and what type of analyte they are used for. One of the few, if not the only, ASDL sites dealing with derivatization.
Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography, HILIC/SEC, HILIC/SXC
This site provides good background and operational parameters for the use of a specific type of chromatography, hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Pedagogical value, however, is probably only directed toward a graduate/advanced course in separations. This document provides a very clear explanation of operational parameters and mode of operation for HILIC. Very readable!
