"Introduction to Design Inquiry, Fall 2001"
" Introduction to Design Inquiry explores the nature and exercise of design intelligence. It aims to open avenues for further research and, along them, to open vistas on the teaching of design and on more mindful professional design practices. We see design as processes located in individuals and groups, shaped by the formation and experience of each individual and by the characteristics of the groups that play a role in the design process. People construct the worlds they inhabit out of what th

Refining technology for handheld diagnostic devices
When lives are on the line, every minute counts. Getting a quick and accurate diagnosis can mean the difference between life and death; however, in the developing world, doctors often lack the medical equipment necessary to determine the cause of a patient's illness.
Hsueh-Chia Chang is leading a Notre Dame research team that is refining technology for a handheld diagnostic device that identifies the DNA of bacteria and viruses that cause specific diseases. With this type of tool, medical profe

Solving Logarithmic Equations - Problem 2 of 3
This video is a continuation and works through an example problem that demonstrates how to solve logarithmic equations with a single log on one or both sides. (2:22)
Solving Logarithmic Equations
Just as logarithms are used to access exponents in exponential equations, exponentiation can be used to access the insides of a logarithm. This video explains how solving logarithmic equations often involves exponentiation of logarithms in order to get rid of the log and access its insides. Sometimes the product, quotient, or power rules of logarithms are used when solving logarithmic equations. (1:20)

Numerical formulation and algorithms include: variational formulation and variational constitutive updates, finite element discretiz
How Humpbacks Hunt With Bubbles
Humpback whales blow bubbles around schools of fish to concentrate them for easier capture. It's called a bubble net, says David Wiley, research coordinator for Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and it's visible as a ring of bubbles at the surface. Now, with underwater digital tracking tags and custom visualization software, whale researchers can see what the whales are doing underwater when they're bubble-netting. (3:51)
Israeli bird radar technology promises clear skies for pilots
Dec. 28 - The Israeli airforce is using bird tracking radar technology to ensure safe aviation over Israeli skies, one of the busiest junctions of avian migration routes world-wide. In the past 25 years, 10 airforce planes have crashed in collisions with migrating birds, but the new system, developed at Tel Aviv University can now tell pilots where the birds will be in real time. Joanne Nicholson reports.
