Whatzzzup-Stream?
In this set of exercises, students will study rivers and waterways around them by using the Internet, maps, and their knowledge of local landscapes. The students will use an EPA Web site to investigate what is upstream and downstream of them. They will also look at graphs of flow in familiar river locations on a live U.S. Geological Survey Web site. Using small rocks and a washbasin, students will build a model that leads to extending their understanding of streams in different geographic locati
Calisphere Themed Collection - 1939-1945: World War II: California and the Postwar Suburban Home
These images by Los Angeles–based photographer Maynard L. Parker show suburban homes in California in the two decades following World War II. Many appeared in popular house and design magazines of the era. They offered middle–class consumers a new way of living that emphasized a relaxed, low–maintenance, private, indoor–outdoor experience.
Phylogenetic analysis
This exercise introduces students to analysis of evolutionary relationships both by analysis of molecular similarity and by cladistic techniques. The molecular analysis uses both paper-and-pencil and bioinformatics comparison of the amino acid sequence of the hemoglobin beta chain of eight vertebrates. The cladistic exercises introduce students to cladistic principles, and then allow students to solve hypothetical problems both with and without homoplasy. Students then test their cladistic abili
Plant Hormones: Bioassay for Gibberellin
This simple assay makes use of the ability of the plant hormone GA3 to induce starch breakdown in the endosperm of a barley seed from which the embryo has been removed. The effect of the hormone is clear and repeatable. This exercise can be used in introductory biology courses to demonstrate a basic plant process, or can be modified and used to investigate more sophisticated questions in a developmental biology course.
Principles of Autonomy and Decision Making, Fall 2003
This course surveys a variety of reasoning, optimization, and decision-making methodologies for creating highly autonomous systems and decision support aids. The focus is on principles, algorithms, and their applications, taken from the disciplines of artificial intelligence and operations research. Reasoning paradigms include logic and deduction, heuristic and constraint-based search, model-based reasoning, planning and execution, reasoning under uncertainty, and machine learning. Optimization
Communication Systems Engineering, Spring 2003
Introduces the fundamentals of digital communications and networking. Topics covered include elements of information theory, sampling and quantization, coding, modulation, signal detection and system performance in the presence of noise. Study of data networking includes multiple access, reliable packet transmission, routing and protocols of the internet. Concepts discussed in the context of aerospace communication systems: aircraft communications, satellite communications, and deep space commun
Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: understand and use correctly terms introduced in this course in relation to communication networks understand general principles involved in data exchange between IT devices work with numbers expressed in scientific notation, and use the Windows calculator to perform calculations on these numbers.

Ontevreden passagiers
De student bekijkt een videofragment over het reilen en zeilen op een luchthaven. In dit fragment is een conflict te zien tussen een passagier en het personeel omdat een vlucht heel wat vertraging heeft opgelopen. Na het bekijken van het fragment moet de student een aantal uitspraken beoordelen en vragen beantwoorden over het fragment.

Carotid Stenosis Part 1
In this module, you will learn about cerebral vascular occlusive disease and its relation to symptoms. Clinical history: WISE-MD is a required, case-based, multidisciplinary, self-study online resource within the surgery clerkship. It is employed 1) as a model that provides core surgical knowledge, decision-making, intellectual aspects of skills, and professional competency, and 2) a primer for operating room experiences. In actual use it consists of 2 parts: Part 1 is an enactment of the patien
Why Do Languages Die? The history of the world's languages is largely a story of loss and decline. At around 8000 BC, linguists estimate that upwards of 20,000 languages may have been in existence.[1] Today the number stands at 6,909 and is declining rapidly.[2] By 2100, it is quite realistic to expect that half
