Multiple Regression
This site provides an introduction to the use of multiple regression, beginning with a glossary of important terms before taking the reader through a review of bivariate regression and the implementation and interpretation of multiple regression. One limitation to the site is its reliance on Minitab for calculations. Users, however, can reproduce the calculations using other software packages, such as SPSS or Excel. Prior knowledge of the basics of bivariate regression is assumed; thus, the site
primer on microscopes
This website is sponsored by Olympus company. It is similar to two other sites (one by Florida State University, the other by Nikon) already in asdlib whereby a common group of authors contributed to the development of all three sites. Thus, these sites are similar in content although differences exist. This Olympus site has a \"virtual microscopy\" that contains links to interacdtive tutorials that demonstrate the operation of different types of microscopes. Thus, one can compare how various
Concepts, Instrumentation and Techniques in Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry
This pdf file contains a well written and thorough introduction to atomic absorption suitable for use by undergraduates and faculty teaching instrumental analysis courses. Topics covered in the document include theoretical concepts and definitions, flame atomic absorption, instrumentation, analytical interferences, sampling techniques, graphite furnace atomic absorption, and plasma techniques.
Virtual Crime Scene-Autopsy of a Murder
This site is designed to explore the interaction of crime scene investigation and forensic science Visitors are taken to a crime site where a murder took place. Relevant items of physical evidence are identified and the viewer is allowed to transport each item into a virtual crime. In the laboratory the viewer is allowed to select the appropriate technology to examine the selected item of evidence. Explanations are provided to educate the viewer on the theory and applications of a variety of for
Handbook of Basic Atomic Spectroscopic Data
This National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) site containing atomic spectroscopic reference data. Information can be accessed through a variety of means, such as an interactive periodic table and dropdown lists of elements organized by name or atomic number. Data available include isotope abundance, electron configuration, nuclear spin, magnetic moment, ionization energies, spectral line wavelengths and intensities, and energy level information. References are also given.
NIST Engineering Statistics Handbook
This site provides a comprehensive electronic handbook on statistics for scientists and engineers. Topics include graphical approaches for exploratory data analysis, the characterization of measurement processes, the construction of statistical models for predicting and/or optimizing process, experimental design, process control monitoring, significance testing and the evaluation of product reliability. Although the site may be too detailed and complex for an undergraduate student to navigate wi
The Geometer's Sketchpad - Least Squares
This site provides a java-based demonstration of how a least-squares analysis works. The applet opens with a set of data points with a superimposed line. By clicking and dragging, the user can move the data points and change the slope and/or the y-intercept of the line. The residual error for each data point is shown as a square whose area increases the greater the vertical distance between the point and the line. A total sum-of-squares also is shown. By adjusting the slope and y-intercept, the
Cooperative Learning, Values, and Culturally Plural Classrooms
This webpage provides an introduction to cooperative learning by David and Roger Johnson who developed the technique. The article provides an overview of the cooperative learning method, discusses its educational benefits, and provides assessment data for its efficacy. The article also provides archival references to their work and others. As such the article is an invaluable resource for faculty interested in developing and implementing cooperative learning activities in their own classrooms
RCSB Protein Data Base
This website is an "Information Portal To Biological Macromolecular Structure". It is a protein data bank that contains a very large structural database in addition to providing a variety of tools and resources for studying the structure of biological macromolecules and their relationships to sequence, function and disease. A good starting point is to take the tutorial which explains how to use the site and its contents. This site contains meritorious information on biological macromolecules an
Fourier Transform
An overview of the Fourier theorem as applied to analytical measurements is given. The Discrete Fourier Transform and the Fast Fourier Transform algorithms are mentioned, and sampling requirements are discussed. Links are provided to descriptions of Fourier transform based mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy and NMR techniques.
Fundamental measurement PowerPoint
This site contains good images of basic general chemistry lab equipment and how to use them to make measurements (graduated cylinders, burets, thermometers, and balances). It could be useful for introducing students to laboratory work and measurements.

DRC Plenary: Joan Snyder, 2010-11 Estelle Lebowitz Visiting Artist-in-Residence
Wednesday, February 28, 2011
Joan Snyder received the MacArthur Fellowship Award (popularly known as the "Genius Award") in 2007, and her paintings have been exhibited widely throughout the United States. She founded the Women Artist Series at Douglass College in 1971 (which has since then been renamed the Mary H. Dana Women Artist Series). A concurrent survey exhibition of her small paintings from 1965-2010, Joan Snyder/Intimate Works, is on view at the Mabel Smith Douglass Library Galleries t
HIV and AIDS Prevention Education
This is a collection of resource packages suggesting how education systems can change their analysis and conduct in relation to HIV and AIDS. The site also contains manuals and booklets offering basic facts and information needed for the acquisition of knowledge and development of attitudes, values, skills and practices (KAVSP) related to the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS.
