Introduction to stress and strain: document transcript
This is a document transcript about Introduction to Stress and Strain HNC in Engineering - Mechanical Science Edexcel Unit: Engineering Science (NQF L4). This section provides an introduction to the concepts of direct and shear stress and strain as encountered in mechanical engineering structures. The standard notation is explained; Young’s modulus is introduced and explained with worked examples. Factors of safety are examined and some sample calculations are included. Some simple examples of

6.005 Elements of Software Construction (MIT)
This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles and techniques of software development that have greatest impact on practice. Topics include capturing the essence of a problem by recognizing and inventing suitable abstractions; key paradigms, including state machines, functional programming, and object-oriented programming; use of design patterns to bridge gap between models and code; the role of interfaces and specification in achieving modularity and decoupling; reasoning ab

18.769 Topics in Lie Theory: Tensor Categories (MIT)
This course will give a detailed introduction to the theory of tensor categories and review some of its connections to other subjects (with a focus on representation-theoretic applications). In particular, we will discuss categorifications of such notions from ring theory as: module, morphism of modules, Morita equivalence of rings, commutative ring, the center of a ring, the centralizer of a subring, the double centralizer property, graded ring, etc.

Algorithmes de transmission et de recherche de l'information dans les réseaux de communication

Dans cet exposé, Philippe Robert, après quelques mots sur son métier, explique les problèmes fondamentaux qui se posent dans un système distribué, en prenant le problème de la transmission de messages. Il montre que l'algorithmique est complètement différent dans ce cas, et que des modèles aléatoires permettent de faire l'analyse de la pertinences de tels mécanismes, et le détaille dans le cas de protocoles en arbre.

Restoring a tooth (Gold Crown) - Part 1
This video shows the first stage of the production of a cast gold crown for a damaged tooth. The crown is made on the model (See Videos 2 and 3) using wax, which will be replaced by molten gold in the lost wax casting process. The technique of making the wax template and adjusting it to fit the model accurately is shown.

Essentials of Medical Microbiology III - Part 1 of 2
This presentation deals with the bacterial identification and provides an introduction into epidemiology. It provides information on the identification of bacteria including identification by physical attributes and the use of classical biochemical and staining techniques. This is concluded with a generalised introduction into epidemiology. A help file is included and should be read first.
