The Big Bang and the Creation of Earth
This 1:17 long video does a short review of what happened to create the Big Bang and the events that followed. Good graphics and narration.
4.18.2 Information visualisation We read increasingly of the problem of information overload. Earlier, we emphasised the importance of designing appropriate information representations to assist human interpretation in order to create actionable knowledge. Information visualisation is concerned explicitly with designing representations using intuitive visual metaphors and graphics to highlight the most important aspects of information structures and processes. Information visualisation is a rapidly emerg
1.2 Pressing questions In the late 1990s, when this unit was first prepared, if you surveyed the field of knowledge management technology you were assailed by technology vendors offering Knowledge Management Solutions. As we write in 2005 , an internet search on ‘knowledge management ICT’ will still return thousands of hits, but the ‘knowledge’ buzzword has faded in potency, the hype bandwagon has trundled on, and vendors now market the same products under business process banners which reflect gr

In the beginning the meditator is asked to dwell on deaths of people who have led a pleasant life. Then the mind of the meditator can be turned to the inevitability of his or her own death, so as to develop ‘one-pointed’ concentration on this.

Others will be quite new to psychology as a formal research-based discipline. Some will have been stimulated to study a unit in psychology by the well-publicised examples of research findings or psychologists at work that are presented in the media. Some will be coming to this course because of experiences in their own personal lives. This may be because they have been touched by Effective Literacy Practices - Making It Easy to Learn Effective Literacy Practices - Selecting Texts That Are Just Right The Ancient Olympics: Bridging past and present Productive Aging: Examining Trends in Health and Employment Status by Age 2012 Orientation Slideshow Session 7 Green Chemistry Yields New Type of Polyurethane Foam Surfactant -- Undergraduate Research at CofC Working with the new bristle brush tips Using the Mixer Brush GS-08: Making a ho-hum RAW image great

Teachers build on a child's strengths to create situations where the child will experience success in early literacy learning. In this video, teachers model encouraging students to use prior knowledge and building background knowledge to encourage optimal learning. ( 7:32)
In this book, educators describe the importance of choosing the correct books for students and methods of doing so. Book introductions are also an important element for student success. Topics to be included in book introductions are also discussed. ( 7:47)
This unit highlights the similarities and differences between our modern Games and the Ancient Olympics and explores why today, as we prepare for London's 2012 Olympics, we still look back at the Classical world for meaning and inspiration.
Census data and data from the American Community Survey are used to examine older adults' employment patterns over four decades, the percentage of older adults who have no health problems limiting their ability to work, and trends in employment status for both younger and older adults. Students must prepare a written report interpreting and integrating their results, and then apply the quantitative information by making recommendations to a business and a non-profit agency.

Our research group is working in partnership with a small industrial firm, Carolina Specialty Chemicals LLC (CSC), along with the manufacturing firms Ele'/ Pelron, and Emery Oleochemicals to develop a new class of chemicals for use in the polyurethane industry. A major push in industrial and academic research these days is developing alternative materials based on renewable biological sources. The use of renewable materials from readily cultivated bio-based sources is one of the key tenets of th
