CHORIOCENTESES ET PLACENTOCENTESES DES 2EME ET 3EME TRIMESTRE
Les choriocentèses et les placentocentèses sont d'excellentes techniques de diagnostic prénatal pour obtenir un résultat cytogénétique rapide et fiable. Cependant, les cytogénéticiens sont le plus souvent réticents à établir le caryotype foetal à partir des biopsies de trophoblaste. En effet, le résultat rapide après examen "direct" des villosités choriales (peu fiable) est généralement souhaité par l'obstétricien et le résultat après culture des villosités c
Les volcans (video)
Les volcans sont responsables de la formation de notre atmosphère et des continents, qui sont en quelque sorte l'écume magmatique de la Terre. Ils sont aussi un précieux outil d'échantillonnage de l'intérieur de la Terre, et leurs laves portent des informations précieuses sur la composition des roches profondes et inaccessibles dont elles sont issues. Il faut enfin voir chaque volcan comme le résultat superficiel des mouvements internes de grande ampleur qui affectent notre planète d

Estimating Square Roots
When a radical is not a perfect square (1, 4, 9, 16, …), estimating square roots is a valuable tool. This video describes how to estimate the value of a radical between two consecutive integers by finding the two perfect squares that are slightly less and slightly more than the radicand. Also, remember that negative numbers do not have a real number square root. (2:28
Number of Handshakes
This video explains how mathematical modeling is used to generate a formula for the number of handshakes possible. The situation essentially asks how many sides and diagonals are in a given polygon and generates the triangle numbers: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, … (2:43)
How Do People Respond to Being Touched by a Robot?
How might people react if they were touched by a robot? Would they recoil, or would they take it in stride? In an initial study, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology found people generally had a positive response toward being touched by a robotic nurse, but that their perception of the robot's intent made a significant difference.

5.3 Problems with international rights The international human rights discourse claims that the value of its conception of rights lies in it being universal, empowering and human-centred. The idea of universality asserts the relevance of human rights to anyone, anywhere. Empowerment is the concept of human rights as a defence against inequality and the domination of the powerful over the weak. The human-centred feature of international rights seeks to provide a perspective on global questions, ‘putting the value of human di

Throw and Catch Challenge
This teacher-created selection features two clips of students participating in a throw and catch challenge. Using their hands, students must throw and catch an object with a partner thirty times in a row from a distance of twenty-five feet. ( 4:00)
Economic History & History of Thought
The factories that changed the world, 1.) the mule-powered spinning mill (Britain in the 1820s), 2.) from the American system to the Ford system (1900s), and 3.) Toyota Production System (Lean manufacturing), are contrasted and the progression of production systems of the 19th and 20th centuries are arranged in order.
