Therapy Dogs Visit Georgia Tech Library
Java, a labradoodle, Bogee, a standard poodle, and Brutus, a mastiff helped relieve a little stress by visiting Georgia Tech students during dead week at Price Gilbert Memorial Library. Lots of "awws" and cuddles. Learn more about all Georgia Tech's library and all they offer at http://www.library.gatech.edu/
How to make a Hoverboard Part 2 In this video Jason tries to improve on the design from part 1, showing you how to design a hoverboard that hovers on water.
Market Pulse: BoE on hold, set to ease again...but no more QE
Dec. 6 - The BoE keeps policy steady, but QE is finished and instead it will ease via its funding for lending scheme, says BNP Paribas' David Tinsley. Plus, French yields at record lows and EADS shares fly.
4 Subtracting on paper If the numbers you want to subtract are too large for you to do the calculation in your head, you can use a calculator. Alternatively, you can do the calculation on paper. Write your starting number at the top with the number you want to subtract from it underneath. Because the order in which you subtract one number from another matters, it is important to put the correct numbers on top and bottom. Then draw a line underneath. Write the numbers so the digits form columns and they
8 Dealing with remainders How do you deal with divisions where there is a remainder and there are no more digits you can carry to? In most cases you will need to express your answer as a decimal number rather than as a whole number plus a remainder. Take the example of 518 divided by 8.

Dec. 26 - Horizon Technology Finance's Rob Pomeroy finds opportunity to invest in early-stage companies involved in cloud computing, medical devices and clean technology.
This hour-long video clip documents the growth of education during the Renaissance.
In these activities designed to introduce sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem, students generate several small samples and note patterns in the distributions of the means and proportions that they themselves calculate from these samples.
The Plymouth State Weather Center offers the latest observations and forecasts for the United States and Southern Canada. By simply selecting a state, individuals can find data on the temperature, wind direction and speed, cloud cover, and other weather information for stations throughout the selected region. The website provides a state forecast as well. The map on the homepage allows users to observe the overall weather patterns throughout the continental United States and Southern Canada.
This scene provides a view of the terrace where the station sits (red diamond). DEM-generation from Aster images is not perfect, and due to error caused by reflectance patterns, some portions of the river appear to be waterfalls. There are no waterfalls along this portion of the Madre de Dios. Note the high banks between Madre de Dios and the Los Amigos River. The Aguaje palm swamp sits between the high terrace and the floodplain. Just below the Aguaje palm swamp in this scene you can see light
Students in grades 9-12 analyze characteristics that indicate human life cycles, and then apply these observational principles to various NASA pictures of stars to synthesize patterns of stellar life cycles.
This site provides a Java-based simulation that uses a random number generator to demonstrate the principles of probability.
This paper proposes a framework for an integrated computational design system. This design system builds on the strengths inherent in both generative synthesis models and multi-performance analysis and optimization. Four main design mechanisms and their mathematical models are discussed and their integration proposed. The process of building the design system begins by a top-down decomposition of a design concept. The different disciplines involved are decomposed into modules that simulate the r
This site features Flash and QuickTime animations that illustrate diurnal changes in wind patterns along coasts due to unequal heating of the land and water, the Coriolis Effect on the Earth's surface and in the context of everyday weather patterns, and global circulation, temperature, and wind patterns. The animations can be paused and rewound to stress important points. These resources are suitable for use in lectures, labs, or other teaching activities.
This site looks at European and Chinese immigration to the U.S., early 20th century immigration documents, 350 years of Jewish life in America, America as a religious refuge (17th century), Irish words, the Tenement Museum in New York City, and the first Yiddish cookbook in America. The website includes images of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, stories of immigrants, and interactive timelines and maps showing immigration patterns.
Two musical games for use with children at all levels. One game is based on rhythm patterns while the other is based on responding with movement.
The proposed goal oriented knowledge acquisition and assessment are based on the flexible educational model and allows to implement an adaptive control of the enhanced learning process according to the requirements of student's knowledge level, his state of cognition and subject learning history.
The enhanced learner knowledge model specifies how the cognition state of the user will be achieved step by step. The use case actions definition is a starting point of the specification that depends o
This contribution deals with the work of TELMA, a European Research Team of the Kaleidoscope Network of Excellence. In particular the "cross-experimentation" project is presented. Such project was developed by TELMA to understand the role played by theoretical frameworks in setting up experiments using Interactive Learning Environments (ILE) for mathematics. The paper focuses on the methodological dimension of this project.
This lecture forms part of the "Building GUI in Java & Design Patterns" topic in the Object-Oriented Software Design module.
Genetics Construction Kit is a simulation of a classic Mendelian genetics laboratory. It provides students with a set of organisms with unknown patterns of inheritance, and gives them the tools to design and perform a series of experiments to discover these inheritance patterns.
Students will be able to cross the unknown organisms and analyze their crosses in ways much like those used by practicing scientists.
GCK provides several tools for analyzing and organizing data:
