Le plan d’évaluation en 16 facteurs des bibliothécaires à l’UdeM
Présenté au 34e congrès de la Corporation des bibliothécaires professionnels du Québec (CBPQ).,Le plan d'évaluation en seize facteurs qui sert de référentiel à la fonction de bibliothécaire à l'UdeM est-il adapté aux nouvelles exigences de la profession? Pour le bénéfice de l'institution, il y aura peut-être avantage à moderniser et actualiser la structure d'emploi de cette catégorie de personnel pour une meilleure adéquation entre le type de compétences requises et les niveau
La véritable nature de la recherche d’information
Il existe une méthodologie de la recherche de l'information spécialisée au même titre que des méthodologies de recherche des différentes disciplines. Cette méthodologie implique d'identifier clairement son objet de recherche et le vocabulaire qui le caractérise, d'utiliser les sources adéquates de recherche dans un ordre logique, de connaître les critères d'évaluation critique de la qualité de l'information et de confronter ses résultats à l'expérience de la vie de tous les jours
La roue de la vie dans les temples bouddhiques (video)
One of the first sights encountered by visitors to Buddhist temples is a large painting of the wheel of rebirth, depicting in horrific detail the pains (less often the pleasures) that await people after death. In this illustrated talk, Stephen F. Teiser explains how these representations of the Buddhist worldview have been imagined in Buddhist art over the centuries. The lecture offers an introduction to Buddhist cosmology, Buddhist art, and the spatial and ritual organization of Buddhist te

Le métier de sociologue (video)
Pour la plupart des étudiants de premier cycle, la sociologie s'apparente davantage à une propédeutique aux concours administratifs qu'à un débouché vers le métier de sociologue. Une enquête menée par Odile Piriou auprès d'étudiants en sociologie a montré qu'ils ne s'identifient guère à des "sociologues". Ce n'est pas le cas pour leurs confrères de "philo", de "psycho" ou encore "d'éco". Et si l'identification s'opère, c'est en référ
Studies in robust estimation and control
Effective monitoring and tight control of chemical, petrochemical and biochemical processes are often hindered by the absence of frequent measurements of important process variables that are related to product quality, the presence of process-model mismatch, unmeasureable disturbances, measurement noise, and highly nonlinear process dynamics. This dissertation presents new methods of nonlinear estimation and control in the presence of such practical problems. Simulation and real-time implementat

Mathematics for Computer Science
A basic introduction to Calculus and Linear Algebra. The goal is to make students mathematically literate in preparation for studying a scientific/engineering discipline. The first week covers differential calculus: graphing functions, limits, derivatives, and applying differentiation to real-world problems, such as maximization and rates of change. The second week covers integral calculus: sums, integration, areas under curves and computing volumes. This is not meant to be a comprehensive calcu
RobertNiles.com: Statistics Every Writer Should Know
Robert Niles, a journalist and producer for the LA Times, created this site to help other writers learn the basics of statistics. He explains many key concepts that are essential to report accurate, meaningful numbers and facts. After starting with the fundamentals of mean, median, and percent, Niles goes on to describe more advanced topics like normal distribution, margin of error, and data analysis. For each section, an example or two are provided to demonstrate proper usage of the techniques.
