PediNeuroLogic Exam: Newborn: Normal: Cranial Nerves
Examination of the baby's cranial nerve function is often accomplished by observing spontaneous activity. During crying, facial movement (Cranial Nerve 7) is observed for fullness or asymmetry. The quality and strength of the cry is a way of looking at Cranial Nerves 9 and 10 function. Sucking and swallowing assesses Cranial Nerves 5, 7, 9, 10, and 12 because all of these cranial nerves are involved in this complex act. Eye movements (Cranial Nerves 3, 4 and 6) can be assessed by using the vesti
3.2 Business operations: function or process?
The management of processes or operations is the very essence of any kind of business enterprise, and it is critically important that they are designed and managed well. This course taster uses case studies and models to illustrate the importance of effective operations management and outlines the steps to preparing your own operations proposal.

The human eye is a fascinating and complicated device, but how do digital cameras capture images? This unit examines one of the human–machine interfaces that link optical information to the electronic world. You will learn how the components within a digital camera capture images for electronic manipulation.
1.2.10 Key points Diagrams can be helpful in: understanding a situation; analysing a situation; communicating with others about that analysis; planning to deal with a situation, both logically and creatively; and implementing, monitoring and evaluating those plans. They are therefore used at different times and in different ways within the same investigation and many investigative meth
Auburn researcher using dogs in battle against pine tree disease
The mystery surrounding a disease that is killing Southern pine trees could possibly be solved by Auburn University detector dogs.
Lori Eckhardt, associate research professor in Auburn's School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, is using dogs from the school's EcoDogs (http://ecodogs.auburn.edu) program to detect deadly fungus in pine tree roots.

"Microeconomic Theory III, Spring 2009"
" This half-semester course discusses decision theory and topics in game theory. We present models of individual decision-making under certainty and uncertainty. Topics include preference orderings, expected utility, risk, stochastic dominance, supermodularity, monotone comparative statics, background risk, game theory, rationalizability, iterated strict dominance multi-stage games, sequential equilibrium, trembling-hand perfection, stability, signaling games, theory of auctions, global games, r
PediNeuroLogic Exam: Developmental Anatomy - Brain Growth
The newborn brain weighs 400 grams. At one year of age the brain weighs 1,000 grams. By 2 years of age the brain has reached 80 percent of its adult size. By 18 years of age the brain has reached its adult weight of 1400 grams. A neuroscience tutorial focusing on those aspects of the pediatric neurological examination that are unique to the child's nervous system, with an emphasis on important neurodevelopmental milestones.
5.11 Vibrating air column: standing waves in a conical tube
How do different instruments produce the sounds we classify as music? How do we decide whether something – a piano, a vacuum cleaner – is actually a musical instrument? In this unit we investigate the way vibrations and sound waves are harnessed to create music.

Dr. Alan Kapuler on Understanding Nature and Food Growth
(NOTE: This video may be preceded by a short ad.) Dr. Alan Kapuler is a man who thinks on big time scales, and across wide geographic spheres of reality. A molecular biologist by training, as a young adult, Kapuler experienced an almost spiritual connection from working in the garden. He became a public domain organic plant breeder, and an impassioned advocate for the protection of the natural world. Kapuler believes, the interconnectedness of all living things, biodiversity itself, is the true
10 User research techniques: observing users
Designed products surround us all and range from bus tickets to buildings. This unit focuses firmly on usability and the increasingly important phenomenon of people-centred design. It aims to inform consumers of design (i.e., all of us) about this crucial characteristic of design. The unit is derived from the Open University course T211 on Design and Designing, but as well as stimulating interest in areas of concern for producers of design it might also provide an introduction to engineering, ma
