1 Children's rights: general issues The audio file in this unit considers the general issues of children's rights, and the possibilities and implications of imagining children as citizens. Within the discussion, ideas about childhood and children's needs are explored. Although the programme focuses specifically on children it is possible to link to the wider issue of social construction of difference and power. Some examples are given in these notes. This audio file was recorded in 1998 and related to a TV programme on ch
Block perimeter applet
This applet is designed to help students understand the meaning of perimeter for regular and irregular shapes. Square boxes can be dragged to the applet's screen to form a shape. The area is determined by the number of boxes in the shape. The perimeter is found by counting the number of unattached sides. Students can check their answer by clicking the Show Perimeter button. Directions explaining how to link the boxes are included. Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse

EMOIS Nancy 2011 - Alimentation d’un registre épidémiologique de pédiatrie (video)
Alimentation d’un registre épidémiologique de pédiatrie. Comparaison d’une recherche plein texte sur le dossier médical versus PMSI.
Résumé : L’alimentation des registres épidémiologiques repose sur un recueil manuel de l’information. Avec le développement des SIH apparaît la possibilité d’alimenter semi automatiquement ces registres à partir des dossiers patients informatisés. Cependant, les données médicales numériques sont encore largement en plein texte. N

Problem Solving
Problem solving is the thought processes involved in solving a problem. It is both a means of developing students' knowledge of mathematics and a critical outcome of a good mathematics education. A mathematical problem, as distinct from an exercise, requires the solver to search for a method for solving the problem rather than following a set procedure. Mathematical problem solving, therefore, requires an understanding of relevant concepts, procedures, and strategies. To become good problem solv

Hot Chips: A Symposium on High Performance Chips
The Hot Chips conference was held in August 2002, and the presentations from the event were recently released online. The symposium was centered on high performance processors and the technologies used to design them. Many presentations are from key industry representatives who described cutting-edge microarchitectures and implementations such as the Itanium 2, GeForce4, and more. Others are from academia, like one that describes the trends and challenges of microlithography. Over 25 presentatio
CSU Engine Web Pages
This resource on internal combustion engines comes from a mechanical engineering professor at Colorado State University. It is essentially an online textbook with three main chapters, which cover the topics of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics involved in engine operation. Users should have an understanding of basic engine components, and a background in calculus would be helpful. Some of the material is fairly conceptual, while other parts involve analytical derivations. Many s
