This unit covers the correct procedures for harvesting
stock in the aquaculture industry. Activity 1 focuses on what needs to be done to
prepare for harvesting. Includes checking the harvesting schedule, weather
forecasts, pond conditions and conditions that affect harvesting. Also includes
choosing appropriate harvesting equipment and protective clothing for harvesting.
Activity 2 covers monitoring stock behaviour and reporting non-standard behaviour to
the supervisor. U
Monitor Stock and Environmental Conditions
This unit covers the knowledge and processes involved in
monitoring stock health in the aquaculture industry. Activity 1 gives an
introduction to water quality factors such as dissolved oxygen levels, pH, hardness,
alkalinity, water temperature and salinity, and how these affect stock and other
water quality factors. Activity 2 covers the location to take a water sample,
methods of taking a water sample, sending it for analysis and interpreting results
of water analysis.

Discuss the characteristics and practices of customer focussed organisations. Identify and discuss various quality improvement models and apply quality improvement tools. Iden
11.947 Race, Immigration, and Planning (MIT)
This course provides an introduction to the issues of immigrants, planning, and race. It identifies the complexities and identities of immigrant populations emerging in the United States context and how different community groups negotiate that complexity. It explores the critical differences and commonalities between immigrant and non-immigrant communities, as well as how the planning profession does and should respond to those differences. Finally, the course explores the intersection of immig
4.463 Building Technology III: Building Structural Systems (MIT)
This course addresses advanced structures, exterior envelopes and contemporary production technologies. It continues the exploration of structural elements and systems, and expands to include more complex determinate, indeterminate, long-span and high-rise systems. It covers topics such as reinforced concrete, steel and engineered wood design, and provides an introduction to tensile systems. Lectures also address the contemporary exterior envelope with an emphasis on their performance attributes
15.316 Building and Leading Effective Teams (MIT)
This course is an intensive one-week introduction to leadership, teams, and learning communities. The class meets daily for five days. The class serves as an introduction of concepts and uses a variety of experiential exercises to develop individual and team skills, as well as supportive relationships within the Leaders for Manufacturing class. As part of the focus on leadership, it discusses the idea of the "Universe Within", the images, thoughts, and experiences that are internal to
MAS.961 Ambient Intelligence (MIT)
This course will provide an overview of a new vision for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in which people are surrounded by intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in the everyday objects around them. It will focus on understanding enabling technologies and studying applications and experiments, and, to a lesser extent, it will address the socio-cultural impact. Students will read and discuss the most relevant articles in related areas: smart environments, smart networked objects, augmente
Fabrication of a KNO3 capacitor
The construction of a KNO3 capacitor, and the hysteresis loop it displays. The circuit used is the standard Sawyer-Tower circuit. From TLP: Ferroelectric materials, http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/doitpoms/tlplib/ferroelectrics/fabrication.php
21F.107 Chinese I (Streamlined) (MIT)
This course, along with 21F.108/158 offered in the spring, form the elementary level of the streamlined sequence, which is for students who have some basic conversational skills gained, typically, from growing up in a Chinese speaking environment, but lack a corresponding level of literacy. The focus of the course is on learning standard everyday usage, on reading in both traditional and simplified characters, and on writing.

17.523 Ethnicity and Race in World Politics (MIT)
Discerning the ethnic and racial dimensions of politics is considered by some indispensable to understanding contemporary world politics. This course seeks to answer fundamental questions about racial and ethnic politics. To begin, what are the bases of ethnic and racial identities? What accounts for political mobilization based upon such identities? What are the political claims and goals of such mobilization and is conflict between groups and/or with government forces inevitable? How do ethnic

Fundamentals of Materials Science: Diffusion
This set of animations provides an introduction to the mechanisms and driving forces of diffusion. It demonstartes some of the processes in which it is observed. From TLP: Diffusion
2.003 Modeling Dynamics and Control I (MIT)
This course is the first of a two term sequence in modeling, analysis and control of dynamic systems. The various topics covered are as follows: mechanical translation, uniaxial rotation, electrical circuits and their coupling via levers, gears and electro-mechanical devices, analytical and computational solution of linear differential equations, state-determined systems, Laplace transforms, transfer functions, frequency response, Bode plots, vibrations, modal analysis, open- and closed-loop con
21H.931 Seminar in Historical Methods (MIT)
This subject is designed to give 21H majors and minors an introduction to the methods that historians use to interpret the past. We will focus on two areas: archives and interpretation. In our work on archives, we will ask what constitutes an archive. We will visit one or two local archives, speak with archivists, and assemble our own archive related to life at MIT in 2003. Once we have a better understanding of the possibilities and limitations of historical archives, we will turn to the task o
Selecting columns and beams : presentation transcript
This is a presentation about selecting columns and beams (HNC In Engineering – Mechanical Science Edexcel HN Unit: Engineering Science (NQF L4)). The key terminology and calculations are explored by use of a simple example. Extracts of column tables are used to extract key variables. The tables used are extracted from standard construction engineering data sheets.

Macaulay’s method and poisson’s ratio : document transcript
This is a document transcript for Macaulay’s Method & Poisson’s Ratio (Edexcel HN unit – Mechanical Principles (NQF L4)). It examines a method of analysing the bending moment and shear force distribution along a uniformly loaded, simply supported beam. The method used is Macaulay’s and the stages involved in this method are described in detail. The method also determines the position of the maximum bending moment, the slope and deflection at this point. Poisson’s ratio is the ratio bet
