Lecture 16
Did You Know Most of the World's Ecosystems Exist in Darkness?
"Did You Know Most of the World's Ecosystems Exist in Darkness?" is a presentation by Katrina Edwards, a professor of biological sciences and earth sciences at the USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, and a pioneer in the field of geo-microbiology. In 2010, the National Science Foundation awarded her USC team $25 million to create and direct the Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations. The members of Edwards' team, together with colleagues at several other major research institutio
Asian Security Seminar: Strategic Shortfall - The Somali Syndrome
Contrary to conventional wisdom, this presentation argues that it was not the 9/11 attacks that transformed the international security environment. Instead, it was "Somali Syndrome," an aversion to intervening in failed states that began in the wake of the1993 U.S./UN action in Somalia. The botched raid precipitated America's strategic retreat from its post-Cold War experiment at partnership with the UN in nation-building and peace enforcement and engendered U.S. paralysis in the face of genocid
First Snowfall of Fall Semester At WSU Pullman
PULLMAN, Wash.— Students at Washington State University got a pre-Thanksgiving surprise this morning. A few inches of snow fell in Pullman overnight, forcing students to dig through boxes and closets to find their winter gear. While students were making their way to class, crews from WSU Facility Operations had already been busy for several hours, cleaning roads and pedestrian paths of snow.
More information about WSU Pullman's snow removal plan, including maps of priority areas, can be foun
La domination de l'espace et les réseaux de satellite (video)
La technologie de ce siècle évolue désormais en suivant la loi de Moore, selon laquelle les performances des composants électroniques évoluent exponentiellement avec une constante de temps de deux ans. De là découlent d'abord la percée des micro-ordinateurs puis, plus inattendue, la croissance également exponentielle des réseaux de communication. Quels sont les facteurs de cette expansion qui crée la société de l'information ? L'espace est le moyen global de transfert et distrib

John Law: Proto-Keynesian [Excerpted from An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought, vol. 1, Economic Thought Before Adam Smith. An MP3 audio file of this article, read by Jeff Riggenbach, is available for download.] Quantitative Easing: It's Sinking the Fed's Status Uh oh, Mr. Bernanke, the natives are getting restless. Now it's not just Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, or foreign central bankers, but more and more American economists who are starting to openly challenge the second round of "quantitative easing." It's tough to rule the world, and sometimes the benighted m I processi di apprendimento nei contesti dello sviluppo e del cambiamento segnati dalla globalizzaz China's Ascent: New Superpower or New Global System?

La qualità dell'apprendimento è il vero segreto del successo di un sistema educativo, e non avrebbe senso fare battaglie globali per mandare tutti in una scuola o in una università dove si insegnano nozioni inutili, con metodologie sorpassate o repressive. Al di là delle ovvie considerazioni sulla dotazione minima di attrezzature didattiche e infrastrutture necessarie affinché una scuola o una università funzioni decentemente, vi sono almeno cinque elementi non materiali che caratteriz

How do we learn? Understanding ‘how’ is the key to learning more effectively. This unit looks at the three main categories of theories: the acquisitive, constructivist and experiential models of learning. There is no right way to learn but developing an active approach will ensure that you are open to new ideas.
Sunset Song was written in the early 1930s and is still one of the best-known and most-debated Scottish novels. In this unit, we discuss whether Sunset Song succeeds as critique of capitalism and whether it has value as a work of literature separate from its propagandistic ambitions.

This seminar will provide an introductory overview for non-experts of the emerging field of nanometer scale science and technology. The following topics will be emphasized: (1) Historical background and motivation for the study of nanometer scale phenomena; (2) Strategies for controlling the structure of matter with nanometer scale precision; (3) Size-dependent properties (e.g., electrical, optical, and magnetic) that emerge at the nanometer scale; (4) Real-world applications that utilize nanome
