This document provides an overview of key concepts for an 8th grade web quest on turning the invisible visible. It defines tragic and tragedy, discusses symbolism in art and literature, and profiles author Edgar Allan Poe. It instructs students to read one of Poe's short stories, then write a 200-word tragic story and accompanying illustration about an unfortunate event of the year. Students must use at least two techniques studied in class and present their work on the deadline to be evaluated based on composition, illustration skills, explanation of ideas, and punctuality.
This document discusses four different food pyramids - the vegan food pyramid, healing food pyramid, Mediterranean food pyramid, and Asian food pyramid. It provides sources and recommendations for each, including that the healing foods pyramid emphasizes a whole foods, plant-based diet and that tea is recommended to be consumed 2-4 cups per day as part of this pyramid. It also notes rice as a component of the Asian food pyramid.
Un approccio scalabile e robusto per il mail filtering. - Simone MarzonaDaniele Albrizio
Questo intervento presenta un approccio al problema del filtraggio dei contenuti delle email che consente di poter scalare verso alti volumi di traffico, di avere una soluzione altamente affidabile sulla quale puntare per poter sgravare i mailserver da tutte le funzionalità relative al filtraggio delle email, rendendo disponibili tutte le risorse per la gestione vera e propria delle mail.
People are constantly distracted by a large amount of digital information from various sources. It is important to have personalized and prioritized information through aggregators, filters, and personalized websites. Most information is now conveyed through images, videos, and icons as pictures replace text. Language online is direct and conversational. The internet continues to expand to mobile devices and most services are accessed online, making the phone a tool for everyday tasks. People's attention is commoditized as an exchange for personalized services through the attention economy, with relevance being the key factor for keeping people engaged. Human services may become a new valuable asset for online experiences.

The document summarizes a day-long journey around various neighborhoods in California, featuring stops at stores like Bed Bath & Beyond, attempts to find a chameleon at Pet Smart, pizza, an old parking lot, boats on water, Greek food, a man rocking out with a sign, going to the park, photogenic moments, and dress up before returning home. The journey involved following a neon green cup around and included sights of a cheese bus, fish, dog food, and random people and places.
This document provides instructional strategies for incorporating more technology in the classroom. It introduces multi-media scrapbooks where students collect online text and graphics on a topic and explain their choices. Virtual field trips allow students to explore real-life locations online. Topic hotlists are collections of websites on a topic to broaden student exposure. Online simulations duplicate demonstrations of concepts that are difficult to show students, like physics simulations. The strategies were presented to teachers looking for new technology ideas but were not well received due to additional workload. Keeping the number of strategies small helped prevent overwhelming teachers.
La Agencia Boliviana Espacial está ofreciendo becas para que profesionales bolivianos se capaciten en ingeniería y operación de telepuertos en academias e institutos de China. El programa ofrece becas para 10 profesionales, que cubrirán los gastos de viaje, alojamiento y alimentación. Los candidatos deben tener título universitario en ciencias o ingeniería, dominio del inglés y cumplir otros requisitos como la edad y experiencia laboral. El proceso de selección consta de 5 etapas incluyendo prue
Neal Lathia presented on using recommender systems for health applications. His research focuses on developing personalized health recommendations without diagnosing users by analyzing user ratings, tags, and text in health apps. He is also researching using sensed context like location and activity to recommend mood-improving activities. Additionally, his work includes developing a public transport recommender system that provides aggregated recent ratings to users.

The document discusses the different types of questions specified in the IMS Question and Test Interoperability specification. It notes that there are 16 different question types defined in IMS QTI version 2.1, including multiple choice, multiple response, ordering, matching, gaps, text entry, hotspots and sliders. The question types are described in the IMS Question and Test Interoperability Implementation Guide.
Petter Neksa - Sintef Energy Research - ULTIMI RISULTATI NELLA REFRIGERAZIONE...Centro Studi Galileo
SINTEF is a large research organization in Europe based in Norway that works to create value for society through sustainable development. They sell research and services to clients. CO2 applications are discussed including those already commercialized like heat pumps, refrigeration systems, and transport refrigeration as well as those still in development like mobile air conditioning, residential heat pumps, and combined heating/cooling systems. CO2 is seen as ideal for heat recovery concepts in moderate climates and research is being done to develop more efficient CO2 components and systems to improve performance even in hot climates.
Link and Energy Adaptive Design of Sustainable IR-UWB Communications and SensingDong Zhao
The presentation introduces the research on IR-UWB that jointly exploited realtime link analysis with non-deterministic renewable energy characteristics and developed adaptive schemes that can dynamically operate the sensing or communications with better time coverage, energy efficiency, and resistance to battery aging effects, etc.
The document summarizes the past, present, and future of information visualization. It discusses (1) how visual representations can make complex data and systems easier for humans to understand, (2) the importance of using the right representation so visualizations are correct, complete, and effective, and (3) how current and future visualization systems will integrate interaction, visual analytics, coordination of multiple views, and integration with everyday devices and automated analysis.
1) Producing digital recordings of conferences and events can be done cheaply and easily using a voice recorder and publishing the audio files online.
2) Adding some basic video is also possible using a camera, but requires more equipment, setup time, and processing to produce and publish.
3) Any recordings should include metadata like descriptions, tags, and links to maximize discoverability on platforms like search engines and blogs.
