Quick Q
Q methodology is a technique for modelling viewpoints, that was developed by William Stephenson (1902-1989). This animation, intended for a general audience, provides a short non-technical introduction to the methodology, outlining the different stages involved in conducting a Q study. The animation was funded by the UK Higher Education Academy, as part of the National Teaching Fellow 'Assessing Students at Masters level' project, Assimilate.

Analogies and Idioms Analogies; compare two things to show how they relate. The video gives examples and there is also an analogy given as a quiz. This would be helpful for parents to interact with kids or have kids do on their own to see if they understand the concept. The video also offers reviews and there is text provided so that students can follow the fast paced lessons at their own rate. An idiom is an expression that says one thing tha
7.4 Models of active galaxies The standard model of an AGN consists of an accreting supermassive black hole (the engine) surrounded by a broad-line region contained within a torus of infrared emitting dust and a narrow-line region. Unified models attempt to explain the range of AGNs on the assumption that they differ only in luminosity and the angle at which they are viewed. One type of model attempts to unify radio-quiet AGNs. Type 1 Seyferts and type

Plugging the Hole in Hawking's Black Hole Theory
MSU Professor Chris Adami has found the solution to a long-standing problem with Stephen Hawking's black hole theory. In a groundbreaking study recently published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Adami found that various types of information, as specific as matter or particles, or as obscure as the contacts in your mobile phone or the contents of a secret diary, never disappear in the black hole to begin with, effectively solving the black hole information paradox of Hawking's theo
Academic research on student engagement - lost formulae to inspiring students
This paper shows academic tutors take on a multitude of roles in their current positions at university and while teaching is expected, from most, it is often assumed that the tutor will apply appropriate pedagogical tools to convey knowledge to the students. This view is now being challenged as many students are being actively encouraged to voice their views of the teaching and learning experience this paper shows
22.38 Probability And Its Applications To Reliability, Quality Control, And Risk Assessment (MIT)
This course covers interpretations of the concept of probability. Topics include basic probability rules; random variables and distribution functions; functions of random variables; and applications to quality control and the reliability assessment of mechanical/electrical components, as well as simple structures and redundant systems. The course also considers elements of statistics; Bayesian methods in engineering; methods for reliability and risk assessment of complex systems (event-tree and

Tea Parties, Occupiers, and Libertarian Class Analysis 5.3.2 The 5 Ds If you don't use a system at all, then you could suffer from the effects of information overload: losing important information; wasting time on trying to find things; ending up with piles of physical and virtual stuff everywhere. One technique you might like to apply to your files (be they paper or electronic) is the 5 Ds. Try applying these and see if you can reduce your information overload. The 2015 Ursula Hoff Contemporary Lecture 1.5.3 Desktop search tools Finding your paperwork or electronic files can be a problem. You may find that even if you do have some sort of filing system, your structure soon gets quite large with files in multiple locations, which can be hard to navigate. You may find yourself making arbitrary decisions about which folder to place a document in. It may make sense now but in the future, when you look where you think it should be, it's not there. At times like this you may resort to the search command from the Wind How to Read and Write the Past Tense of Regular English Verbs Checklist - Language Assistantship War Memorials in Suffolk Getting Started with Azure Storage | Cloud and Enterprise Premium Being the caretaker for the storage of your enterprise is a critical task.

This is quite a complex area as different types of information are produced in different ways. These are a few suggestions to look out for: Opinions - A lot of information is based on the opinion of individuals. They may or not be experts in their field (see P for Provenance) but the key message is to be clear that it is just an opinion and must be valued as such. Research - You don't have to be an
