IEEEXtreme is a worldwide contest held annually where teams of students compete over 24 hours to solve programming problems. The top prize is a trip for the winning team. It started in 2006 with 47 teams and has grown significantly. In 2009 there were 146 teams from around the world. The contest aims to expand the scope of benefits for IEEE students and have a global, fun and innovative activity.
Alligator serum and the battle against HIVPKaragiannis
The document discusses using alligator serum to battle HIV/AIDS. It hypothesizes that alligator serum demonstrates antiviral activity against HIV through an active serum complement system and cationic peptides expressed by alligator leukocytes. A series of experiments are proposed to test this, including a cell-based assay to test antiviral activity and assays to analyze complement system function and cationic peptide expression. The expected results are that alligator serum will show powerful anti-HIV activity mediated by complement and cationic peptides. Limitations include the serum potentially losing effectiveness if alligators regularly encounter HIV.
Blogging, Pod Casting And Creative Commonsjlmickel
The document discusses emerging communication technologies like blogging and podcasting that can be used to engage students. It provides benefits to students like fostering discussion, sharing information, and giving an insider's view of campus. However, it also notes potential downsides like a lack of organization or relevance turning students away. Creative Commons is presented as a way to share educational materials but clarity is needed on copyright issues.
This document discusses video conferencing (VC) as a communication technology that allows for real-time visual and audio connections between remote users. It can be used for collaborations, virtual field trips, guest lectures, and more. VC saves time and money by allowing visits to distant locations. It also addresses different learning styles and enhances skills like presentation, research, and technology. Guidelines are provided for planning and conducting a successful VC session, including testing equipment, having backups, and giving students evaluations. Potential VC content providers are listed that cover topics in math, science, history, language arts, and more.
This document provides an outline for introducing a new product. It recommends stating the long-term goal, describing customer needs and wishes to understand requirements, explaining how the product attributes fulfill those needs, analyzing costs and comparing quality/price to competition, summarizing strengths/advantages, and explaining next steps.
Behind the Scenes of Reach to Grasp ResearchPKaragiannis
This document summarizes the tasks and procedures involved in conducting research on reach and grasp movements using non-human primates. It describes repairing and calibrating objects used in experiments, developing a MATLAB program to randomize experimental conditions, and fabricating EMG electrodes to record muscle activity. The goal is to understand the daily challenges of conducting this research and ensure accurate and reliable data collection.
