Save, Export, and Delete in Audacity part 4
When you first save your file it saves the raw data as an AUP file which only can be played in Audacity. It has to be converted to be played through Quicktime or Media player. This video discusses how to save the file so it can be uploaded as well as adding music to your file. (5:41)
Transformations - Rotation - A Virtual Manipulative
With this virtual manipulative you can create objects with pattern block pieces and explore Rotations ("Turns") as transformations of the plane. There are more instructions to the right of the manipulative.
Publishing your Site to the Web (#16)
Once you have your web space ready, you need to actually publish your web site - get it there for the world to see. This video examines FTP or File Transfer Protocol and related tools to help you publish your web site. You need a place to host your site-some are free but have limited features. Others you can pay a monthly fee. Either way, you will use an FTP to publish your site. [06:43]
Inductive Patterns
In this video, Sal Khan uses toothpicks and houses to solve this logic problem. Mr. Khan uses the Paint Program (with different colors) to illustrate his points. The viewer may wish to open the video to 'full screen' as there is a lot of writing on a small black screen. Sal Khan was the recipient of the 2009 Microsoft Tech Award in Education.
Reading comprehension, integration: language facilities
You practice your reading skills by means of texts concerning language facilities and regions in Belgium. You will be given information about the Belgian administrative system.
The PDZ Domain as a Complex Adaptive System
Specific protein associations define the wiring of protein interaction networks and thus control the organization and functioning of the cell as a whole. Peptide recognition by PDZ and other protein interaction domains represents one of the best-studied classes of specific protein associations. However, a mechanistic understanding of the relationship between selectivity and promiscuity commonly observed in the interactions mediated by peptide recognition modules as well as its functional meaning
Digestion Simulation
To reinforce students' understanding of the human digestion process, the functions of several stomach and small intestine fluids are analyzed, and the concept of simulation is introduced through a short, introductory demonstration of how these fluids work. Students learn what simulation means and how it relates to the engineering process, particularly in biomedical engineering. The teacher demo requires vinegar, baking soda, water and aspirin.

La société du risque ?
Ce programme est le troisième chapitre d’un cours de sociologie sur « La société à l’aube du XXIème siècle ».
Sous le mode de la conversation, Jean-Yves Trépos, Christelle Stupka et Sabrina Sinigaglia-Amadio nous proposent d’aborder notre société et le passage du XXème au XXIème siècle par le biais de la question de « la société du risque ? » A travers les travaux de d’Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens, Peter Knight ou Robert Castel, entre autres auteurs, ils abord
2 Schemes run by Swansea Cyrenians in 1999
The majority of people who sleep on the streets, and in hostels and night shelters are men. However, the number of women, particularly younger women, in these circumstances has increased (Anderson et al., 1993). They are often people with complex care and support needs, which go way beyond the provision of accommodation. But, as you will learn in this unit, complex needs are both a cause and a product of homelessness.
"Music Perception and Cognition, Spring 2009"
"This course is a survey of perceptual and cognitive aspects of the psychology of music, with special emphasis on underlying neuronal and neurocomputational representations and mechanisms. Basic perceptual dimensions of hearing (pitch, timbre, consonance/roughness, loudness, auditory grouping) form salient qualities, contrasts, patterns and streams that are used in music to convey melody, harmony, rhythm and separate voices. Perceptual, cognitive, and neurophysiological aspects of the temporal d
Oklahoma wildfire forces 1,500 residents from homes
June 24 - About 1,500 residents flee their homes near Medicine Park, Oklahoma after a wildfire breaks out. The fire started the day before on the Fort Sill Army post. Firefighters from at least 25 departments were called in to battle the blaze covering about 5,000 acres. It has destroyed at least four homes. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
Transitioning from the Space Shuttle to the Constellation System
William Gerstenmaier knows the U.S. space program inside out -- both literally and figuratively. As a 30-plus year veteran of NASA, Gerstenmaier has managed the operational dimensions of the space shuttle, international space station, and other space flight missions. For this AeroAstro talk, he dissects a problem that
The Fallacy of Scientism as a Worldview

ART 265-01, Introduction to Sub-Saharan African Art, Fall 2006
This course will explore the art of Sub-Saharan Africa from ancient sculpture to modern textile techniques. It will emphasize late 19th and early 20th century arts from four main regions: West Africa, Central Africa, Eastern Africa, and South Africa. We will spend more time in West and Central Africa because this is where the majority of research on African art has been done. By the end of this course, you will have a solid base of the art of several renown peoples, a working knowledge of the co
