On 25 February 2011, a group of eminent researchers who work in arts and humanities disciplines in universities around the UK gathered in Cambridge for a conference called "The Arts and Humanities: Endangered Species?" In light of the present funding reforms to Higher Education, each was asked to give a seven minute talk about why the arts and humanities matter and what cultural and social benefits these subjects bring. Some stressed their contribution to self-knowledge and the ability and freed
How Can Robots Get Our Attention?
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have found that they can program a robot to understand when it gains a human's attention and when it falls short.
Aaron Bobick, professor and chair of the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech's College of Computing, discusses why it's important for robots to understand social convention, if they are going to successfully interact with humans.
The research was performed using the robot Simon, from the Socially Intelligent Machines la

This website effectively uses animated movies combined with text explanations to describe the processes in FT-IR interferometry, TLC, GC and magnetic sector mass spec. It is effective in illustrating processes that are otherwise difficult to visualize. These materials are excellent visualization tools that can be incorporated into lectures readily.
This site is a PowerPoint presentation describing the problem with lead in Washington, DC, drinking water. The presentation is interesting and well illustrated. It contains a discussion of the basic chemistry involved with this problem. It is potentially useful for a broad range of interests from high school through university level courses in environmental chemistry. It does not contain any significant amount of material on chemical analysis (lead determinations in water are well covered i

This is a course for Dutch (Bachelor) students who need or want to pay some extra attention to their English language skills. In this course you will find four modules with theory and exercises on Listening, Grammar, Vocabulary and Writing. We will also give you links to useful websites. We strongly recommend that you do not try to do this course in as short a time as possible: learning skills takes time, so you will benefit optimally from the course if you spend weeks, rather than days on it.
