Chris Schommer-Pries: The unicity of the homotopy theory of higher categories.
Chris Schommer-Pries, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Abstract: We will describe recent joint work with Clark Barwick in which we provide a
complete axiomatization of the homotopy theory of (infinity,n)-categories. The space of
theories satisfying our axioms is a classifying space of n copies of Z/2 and includes the models of Barwick, Bergner, Joyal, Kan, Lurie, Rezk, and Simpson, among others.
This generalizes a theorem of Toen when n = 1, and it verifies two conjectures of Simpson.
Java OOP: Runtime Polymorphism through Inheritance

With runtime polymorphism, the selection of a method for execution is based on the actual type of object whose reference is stored in a reference variable, and not on the type of the reference […]
Tisha Bender- Discussion-Based Online Teaching To Enhance Student Learning
Bender talks about the 2nd edition of her book, Discussion-Based Online Teaching To Enhance Student Learning: Theory, Practice, and Assessment. The new edition offers new insights and ideas derived from the author's teaching in the eight years since she wrote the first edition, as well as from extensive research in the latest literature.
Learning outcomes By the end of this unit you should be able to: appreciate how chemical processes in the rest of the world affect the Arctic environment and the species inhabiting it; recognise the physical processes that determine atmosphere and oceanic flows in the Arctic; appreciate the scientific research process and the use of scientific evidence; use quantitative scientific evidence to examine the link between atmospheric carbon dioxide levels a

8 Summary
What is ecology and why is it important to our understanding of the world around us? This unit looks at how we can study ecosystems to explore the effect that humans are having on the environment.
Sneaking Up On Sneakers
This activity explores why different types of sneakers are used in a variety of common sports. It connects how engineers analyze design needs in sneakers and everyday items. The goal is for students to understand the basics of engineering associated with the design of different types of athletic shoes. Sneakers are one of the most commonly worn shoes in our American culture. They provide comfortable support for our feet as we go about our active lives as students, athletes, educators, and engine
Possible Locations: Activity
Students will use their knowledge of scales and areas to cut out rectangular paper pieces to represent caverns to scale with the maps. These paper cutouts can then be placed on the maps to help students decide where the best locations
Retouching images with Puppet Warp
Use a visual mesh that keeps key areas in place to perform everything from subtle image retouching to total transformations.
