2011 Garage Science Fair Last week I got a chance to attend The Garage Science Fair at the 2011 Hardware Summit. The Garage at Microsoft is a place for employees to collaborate on interesting side-projects and share knowledge. A few times a year they put on Science Fairs where employees can show their creations to the rest of us 'Softies. Volunteer judges review the projects and Author(s):
Image Processing
The importance of computer-based image processing is growing more and more as digital cameras proliferate and use of the World Wide Web expands. Also, many people use image processing computer software such as Photoshop.
In this course, we will consider basic elements of computer-based image processing and aim to understand their principles. Through understanding the construction of functions implemented in commercial image processing software, we will work to learn practical basic knowledge so
On Modern University & University Students A
Issues regarding modern university and university students are issues close to home, which you students cannot ignore as mere knowledge or general issues. In this course, we expect you to consider these issues with historical knowledge.
Information Society
"Information and the Society" is an essential subject in order to acquire a teaching certificate of high school. This lecture is going to interpret the connection between technology of information and society. ï¼´he whole lecture is divided into three parts. The first part is about the social communication of information contents (data, web information and image, etc.). The second part is about the development of electronic organizations (team, market and community) which enable using informatio
Environmental Studies
This course is consisted of correspondence between students and the professor by E-mail.This course is aiming at bringing society closer to the students and fostering the ability to think of it.
Mathematical Description of Natural Phenomena
This lecture is going to let students learn mathematics literacy applied to realistic problems according to the differentiation and integration which play an important role not only in the explanation of physical phenomenon, but also in the explanation of natural phenomenon, social phenomenon, and so on. In other words, after learning various forms of differential equations applied to realistic problems, we can say that the fundamental or more complicated phenomena will become universal after de
7.2.1 Labelling behaviour Signalling that you are about to suggest a solution to a problem or to ask an important question is one way of drawing attention to this and puts pressure on the person or persons at whom your signal is directed to respond.

5.2 Using political skills In particular, a project manager needs to employ good political skills in order to maintain the support of senior management, without allowing them to undermine or take over the project. However, this can raise questions about the ethics of their behaviour. Read the following account that was given by a member of an external consulting team working on a project for a local authority in Scotland. The project's objective was to revamp the structure of the council which had operated in much the
2.1 What makes a good project manager? The performance of the project manager is crucial to the success of any project, since he or she is the person responsible for ensuring that it reaches a successful conclusion. Although criteria for project success are likely to be expressed in terms of meeting deadlines, budgets and standards, much of the project manager's work will involve achieving these benchmarks through people involved in the project. While the role of the project manager has traditionally been powerful in professions s
8.1 Key terms
How does the computer's peculiar binary world of digital entities differ from our analogue world of colour, sound, taste and touch? This unit explores the way in which information, in the form of text, still and moving images, and sound can cross the boundary from the analogue universe into a digital world.
6.5.2 AlphaWorld
How does the computer's peculiar binary world of digital entities differ from our analogue world of colour, sound, taste and touch? This unit explores the way in which information, in the form of text, still and moving images, and sound can cross the boundary from the analogue universe into a digital world.

Informatique répartie
Le but de ce cours de la plateforme e-learning de l'INSA de Rouen est d'acquérir les compétences essentielles au développement d'applications réparties. L'informatique répartie vise à proposer des méthodes, concepts et outils permettant de simplifier le développement d'application réseau client/serveur, en essayant de s'abstraire de l'aspect distant.

Introduction The media play a huge part in sport; we find out what's happening, how our team is doing and it creates great sporting moments and sports celebrities and stars. This unit looks at the role played by the media in sport and how this has changed with the development of internet and satellite TV. Who calls the shots – athletes, teams or the media moguls? How do social scientists explain this relationship between sport and the media? This material is from our archive and is an adapted extr

Preparation of Mammalian Meiotic Chromosomes and Spermatozoa/Obtaining Early Mammalian Embryos and P
This resource is a detailed manual of protocols and instructional information for carrying out an undergraduate laboratory exercise in reproductive and developmental biology, including student outlines, instructors notes, and suggested questions for laboratory reports.
Two Reliable and Inexpensive Lysozyme Assays for Teaching Enzymology and Microbiology
This exercise will allow students to actively learn about enzyme assays by performing two types that have relevance to the students interests, radial diffusion assay and spectrophotometry, and by using an enzyme, lysozyme, that is easily understandable and is applicable to their studies outside of this lab.
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
Labwrite: Extensive web-based instruction for helping college students write lab reports and learn s
LabWrite, funded by the National Science Foundation (award #: DUE-9950405 and DUE-0231086), is a structured set of online materials developed as an alternative to typical lab report instruction. LabWrite provides extensive resources designed to lead college students through the entire lab experience, beginning with questions that help students comprehend the essential elements of the lab before they start the procedure and ending with advice for improving their performance on the next lab report
