Law, Disorder, and Philadelphia's Police Advisory Board
Dr. Nicole Maurantonio's talk explores the ways in which news discourse surrounding the 1964 riots in Philadelphia ultimately led to the undermining of the city's precedent-setting Police Advisory Board. She argues that the unintentional effect of local print coverage of the riots was to provide a language of police paralysis that provided fodder for law and order advocates throughout the city.

Mr. Ford's Anatomy & Physiology: Lesson 03:03 - Eukaryotes & Prokaryotes
In this video, Anatomy and Physiology teacher, Mr. Ford, briefly defines a Eukaryote and Prokaryote and what distinguishes the two from each other (including which organisms have these sorts of cells). A quick review is included at the end. (3:16)
Job prospects still bleak for 2011
Jobs outlook for 2011 improving, but not good enough. Economists say unemployment will likely hover around a grim 9 percent, twice what it was before the recession started.
Microsoft Campus Tours - Channel 9 Behind The Scenes In this episode of Microsoft Campus Tours we take you behind the scenes of Channel 9. Check out our recording studio in building 20 and the Channel 9 office in building 24. Is this how you imagined it?
A Look at Microsoft's Surface Computer V.2 Microsoft Surface General Manager Panos Panay showed us a preview of the next version of Surface at CES, called the Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface. This matured device runs on Embedded Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and has a new technology in the screen that allows for 2 million sensors (rather than optical cameras) alongside the pixels in the display. This means more touchpoints than you have fingers or friends, no more box under the displ

Tip of the Week: PolyPhen
This week's tip is on PolyPhen, a predictor of nonsynonymous SNP impacts on protein functions. For more information about PolyPhen and SNP functional prediction see the blog post: http://blog.openhelix.eu/?p=6867
Stochastic Evolution Equations
The lectures are at a beginning graduate level and assume only basic familiarity with Functional Analysis and Probability Theory. Topics covered include:
Random variables in Banach spaces: Gaussian random variables, contraction principles, Kahane-Khintchine inequality, Anderson’s inequality.
Stochastic integration in Banach spaces I: γ-Radonifying operators, γ-boundedness, Brownian motion, Wiener stochastic integral.
Stochastic evolution equations I: Linear stochastic evolution equations
University of Richmond Dedication of Weinstein Ellipse at the Carole Weinstein International Center
Madeline, Marcus and Zachary Jecklin, the grandchildren of Marcus Weinstein, present The Weinstein Ellipse in honor of their grandfather at the Carole Weinstein International Center at University of Richmond.
Structural Models
Presents quantitative approaches to theory construction in the context of multiple response variables, with models for both continuous and categorical data. Topics include the statistical basis for causal inference; principles of path analysis; linear structural equation analysis incorporating measurement models; latent class regression; and analysis of panel data with observed and latent variable models. Draws examples from the social sciences, including the status attainment approach to interg
Health Issues for Aging Populations
Introduces the study of aging, its implications for individuals, families, and society, and the background for health policy related to older persons. Presents an overview on aging from different perspectives: demography, biology, epidemiology of diseases, physical and mental disorders, functional capacity and disability, health services, federal and state health policies, social aspects of aging, and ethical issues in the care of older individuals.
Theory of functions of a real variable
I have taught the beginning graduate course in real variables and functional analysis three times in the last five years, and this book is the result. The course assumes that the student has seen the basics of real variable theory and point set topology. The elements of the topology of metrics spaces are presented (in the nature of a rapid review) in Chapter I. The course itself consists of two parts: 1) measure theory and integration, and 2) Hilbert space theory, especially the spectral theorem
China Dust Storm during April 2001 (WMS)
A major dust storm occurred in April 2001 over parts of China and Mongolia. Dust from this storm was transported all the way to the coast of the United States. Although dust from the Sahara Desert is routinely transported across the Atlantic to the east coast of the United States, Asian dust rarely makes the distance across the Pacific to the west coast. These airborne microscopic dust and smoke particles, or aerosols, were measured by the TOMS instrument on the Earth Probe satellite. For govern
