African American Studies 40A: African American Studies
This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to important historical, cultural, literary, and political issues concerning African Americans. Through critical readings of literary, artistic, and filmic texts, this course provides an overview of African American experiences from the 17th through mid-20th centuries. Emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of the historical and cultural experiences of African Americans from the beginning of the Transatlantic Slave Trade through th
Computer-aided Drug Discovery for Infectious Diseases "Computer-aided Drug Discovery for Infectious Diseases" alternatively titled "Nasty Beasties: Computer-aided Drug Discovery for Infectious Diseases" This lecture will provide a general introduction to some of the ways that modern theoretical and computational chemistry are contributing to the discovery of new pharmaceuticals, with special emphasis on drugs for infectious diseases. The basic sciences and computing technologies involved have advanced to the point that physics-based simu
Do schools today kill creativity? Education guru Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.
Sustainability & Food Security
Bryan McDonald, PhD from CUSA and Planning Policy & Design, UC Irvine and Kelsey Meagher, the Sustainable Agrifood Systems (SAS) Fellow, UC Irvine present on "Sustainability and Food Security" on April 6, 2010. This talk provides an introduction to the major issues impacting global food security as well as linking food security to other pressing security challenges facing people and societies including sustainability and global environmental change. This talk will also discuss results from a rec

Domaine: Chimie, physico-chimie et génie chimique
I - Chimie inorganique : liaisons et propriétés chimiques
Cette partie devrait presque être une révision ou de mise en application des concepts supposés déjà connus (liaisons chimiques, théorie des groupes …)
II - Les éléments de transitions, complexes et propriétés
Il sÂ’agit de passer de la théorie du champ cristallin déjà vue par la plupart des élèves à la théorie du champ de ligand basée sur une approche molÃ
Electronic Instrumentation and Laboratory of Electronic Instrumentation
Firstly, the course begins with an introduction to Instrumentation Systems to solve the problem of measurements of physical systems, how to analyze experimental data and metrological aspects. Secondly, analog signal conditioning is presented along the main electronic circuits used and the influence of noise and interference in order to design such circuits. Thirdly, several sensors and electronic and optoelectronic transducers are described attending their electronic and optical characteristics

Modèles, langage et outils pour la réutilisation de profils d'apprenants
This PhD thesis in computer science belongs to the computer supported learning field. Various information on the learner, or on a group of learner, related to the learning – knowledge, skills, conceptions or behavior – are collected to compose a profile. Existing profiles differ in their intent, content or structure. Moreover, various learning actors are involved and concerned by these profiles.
As of today, there is no technical solution in place for reusing these heterogeneous profiles. This

Conducting a Joint Course on Software Engineering Based on Teamwork of Students
For the previous six years, under the auspices of the ``Stability Pact of South-Eastern Europe'' and DAAD, a joint project for developing a course in ``Software Engineering'' has been conducted. The intention of the project was to enable usage of shared materials for software engineering courses at a wide range of universities in participating countries. During school-year 2004/05, for the first time the same course, with the same case study, and the same assignments has been conducted at the Hu
Future Quality in the Emergent European Higher Education Area Involves the Use of Informatics
In this paper an agreed set of standards, procedures and guidelines on quality assurance for the emergent European Higher Education Area is presented. If this set is implemented, the procedures for the recognition of qualifications will be strengthened. The set has been divided in two groups: there are internal and external standards and guidelines. The internals should be implemented by higher education institutions and under their responsibility. The external standards and guidelines should be
Statistical Reasoning II
Statistical Reasoning in Public Health II provides an introduction to selected important topics in biostatistical concepts and reasoning through lectures, exercises, and bulletin board discussions.
1.3.6.-v1-Multi-hop VANETs Simulation using VanetMobiSim/Ns-2 (Scenario A)

Gemeinsame Wissenskonstruktion in computervermittelter Kommunikation: Welche Kooperationsskripts fö
Goal of this study is the facilitation of participation and knowledge acquisition in cooperative, computer-mediated learning environments. Two cooperative scripts with respect to discourse contents and interaction were developed to pre-structure communication. Both scripts were analyzed with respect to their influence on participation and application-oriented knowledge in computer-mediated learning environments. The factors "content-related cooperative script" and "interaction-related cooperativ
The use of a computerized brain atlas to support knowledge-based training in radiology
Trainers of radiologists face the particular challenges of teaching normal and abnormal appearance for a variety of imaging modalities, providing access to a large appropriately-indexed case library, and teaching a consistent approach to the reporting of cases. The computer has the potential to address these issues, to supplement conventional teaching of radiology by providing case-based tutoring and diagnostic support based on a large library of images of normal and abnormal anatomy, fully desc
