1.017 Computing and Data Analysis for Environmental Applications (MIT)
This subject is a computer-oriented introduction to probability and data analysis. It is designed to give students the knowledge and practical experience they need to interpret lab and field data. Basic probability concepts are introduced at the outset because they provide a systematic way to describe uncertainty. They form the basis for the analysis of quantitative data in science and engineering. The MATLAB® programming language is used to perform virtual experiments and to analyze real-wo
Funny Speeches: Don't Telegraph Humor
This video teaches you not to preface, or telegraph, your joke. Just tell it. Learn how to give a funny speech from professional speaker and communications instructor Tracy Goodwin in this public speaking video.
1.10 Voice and the speaking subject Discursive practices, as we have seen, order the shape of written and spoken discourse; they order the features which appear and the selection of words and phrases. But these properties are only a small subset of those which govern meaning-making. In this and in the next section we will be more concerned with patterns in the content of discourse and the psychological and sociological implications of those patterns. This will help elaborate further on the notion that language is constru
1: Gravitational force
From the moment that Galileo dropped two cannonballs of different sizes and weights from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa mankind has been fascinated by the impact of gravity. This Unit looks at gravity, its impact on objects and how the energy involved in the movement of objects is dispersed or stored.
The Thought Train Ep. 6 - Dr Felia Allum
On the University of Bath Thought Train we sit down with an academic from the University to talk about their work and current events.
On this week's show Dr Felia Allum is in the studio to talk about the culture of organised crime in Naples, Italy. She also discusses:
- The link between Italian culture and organised crime
- Where fact ends and fiction begins with shows like The Sopranos
- How education is the starting point of the fight back against organised crime.Author(s):

18.06CI Linear Algebra - Communications Intensive (MIT)
This is a communication intensive supplement to Linear Algebra (18.06). The main emphasis is on the methods of creating rigorous and elegant proofs and presenting them clearly in writing. The course starts with the standard linear algebra syllabus and eventually develops the techniques to approach a more advanced topic: abstract root systems in a Euclidean space.
2.4 Examples of layer functions There are several functions that can be performed at one or more of the OSI layers. Some of the more common ones are discussed below.
Connection control
For connection-oriented services, a connection must be established between peer entities. A connection has three phases: connection set-up, data transfer and connection clear. If the peer protocol supports connections, each protocol data unit type corresponds to a primitive type; for instance, a connection request primiti

5.2 Barristers In 2008 there were approximately 12,000 barristers in independent practice known as the Bar. Their governing body is the Bar Council. It acts as their regulatory body and sets the requirements for training, qualification and professional development. The main role of a barrister is advocacy

Uniform convergence and pointwise convergence
The aim of this material is to introduce the student to two notions of convergence for sequences of real-valued functions. The notion of pointwise convergence is relatively straightforward, but the notion of uniform convergence is more subtle. Uniform convergence is explained in terms of closed function balls and the new notion of sets absorbing sequences.
The differences between the two types of convergence are illustrated with several examples. Some standard facts are also discussed: a unif
3.1 Charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors The first digital imagers to be developed were called charge-coupled devices, because of the way in which accumulated charges are passed along rows in order to read the contents of each element of an array. A CCD array has at each pixel an MOS photocapacitor. Potential on a gate electrode holds the accumulating, photo-generated charges in place during the exposure interval. The first thing to appreciate is that the photons that generate the electron–hole pairs have to penetrate the po
Design for dementia care
The impact of disorientating spaces on people with dementia can be profound, and can create serious deterioration in their wellbeing. Case studies of new build and refurbished care homes reveal how dementia-friendly interior and exterior design enable improved working practices for care staff, and lead to greater independence and a better quality of life for residents.

2.7.4 Change notification sites These sites are a variation on link checking sites. Here, the customer is notified not when a web document becomes unavailable, but when the document is changed. For example, the customer might be interested in a particular page which advertises some holiday package offers to a particular destination and wants to keep abreast of any changes to the page which might signal the fact that a new improved offer has been added.
Season 3 – Lesson 16 – Coffee Break Spanish Episode 16 features a conversation between Alba and Mark about what they’ve been doing since they last saw each other. Grammar points covered include possessive pronouns, and uses of the subjunctive. This week’s intermedio features a presentation of Barcelona from Alba, and José looks at some more interesting ways of talking about going out for a drink or for something to eat. Please note that lesson 16 of Season 3 was originally known as lesson

1.2 Expressing ratios To make short crust pastry, one recipe book says ‘use one part of fat to two parts of flour’; another recipe says ‘use fat and flour in the ratio of one to two’; and yet another says ‘use half as much fat as flour’. These are different ways of expressing the same ratio. Ratios are often expressed as fractions.

What do we mean when we say globalisation? Does the growth of globalisation hinder or benefit mankind? It’s a common assumption that countries globalise but in fact it’s not nations themselves but rather the Industries and companies that trade within and outside their borders. As new forms of technology emerge and organisations expand they erode traditional boundaries and in recent times there has been a rise in interconnectedness of markets across the world.
