Encuestas a ciclistas, peatones y conductores de vehículos encontraron que la mayoría no siempre cumplen con las normas de tránsito y seguridad. Por ejemplo, muchos ciclistas no usan cascos, los conductores de vehículos rara vez respetan las reglas de tránsito, y los peatones casi nunca usan ropa clara o brillante cuando caminan de noche. La conclusión es que las personas a veces cumplen con las normas pero no siempre.

OM Concepts for Near and Far Offshore Wind FarmsAshish Dewan
This report analyzes operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for five reference offshore wind farms representing current and future projects. It defines a new O&M accessibility model developed within the Offshore Maintenance Joint Industry Project (OM JIP) that more accurately accounts for meteorological conditions. Case studies are presented applying the new model and traditional models to calculate O&M costs and downtime for each wind farm under different equipment and strategy options. Substantial cost savings are identified through optimized choices. For example, adding an access gangway to crew transfer vessels reduced costs for one wind farm by 3 million euros per year.
1. Amnesty International welcomed some initiatives under the Italian EU Presidency but regretted the lack of concrete progress on key human rights issues.
2. While efforts were made on migration, asylum, and search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean, these failed to result in protection-sensitive border policies or independent human rights monitoring.
3. The Presidency also did not overcome the political deadlock on anti-discrimination legislation or take meaningful action to address discrimination against Roma people.

This poster describes using computer simulations to enhance student learning in a graduate crop modeling course. Students developed their own crop models using software like CSMP, BASIC, and STELLA. This hands-on experience improved students' understanding of crop physiology and the relationship between crops and the environment. Computer simulations allowed students to actively explore "what if" scenarios in a low-risk environment. The poster concludes that computer simulations can enhance student learning through active, hands-on modeling experiences.
Computer simulations were introduced into a graduate crop modeling course to enhance student learning. Students used software like CSMP, BASIC, and STELLA to develop their own crop models through hands-on experience. This allowed students to better understand crop physiology and explore different scenarios. While each software had advantages like simple coding or graphical interfaces, they also had disadvantages such as needing mainframe computers or being expensive. Overall, using simulations actively engaged students and improved their understanding of crop modeling concepts.
This PowerPoint presentation provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations:
1. Keep text on slides concise and use point form to guide discussions and focus audience attention. Too much text makes slides hard to read and present.
2. Be consistent in design elements like fonts, colors, transitions and animations to avoid distracting the audience.
3. Use graphics like tables, charts and images sparingly and in a way that emphasizes key points, but does not overtake the presentation. White space is important for readability.
4. Remember the presentation should enhance the speaker, not replace them. Speak to the audience, not the slides. Proofread for errors.

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

14. Appropriate Use of Tables
and Figures
Emphasize key parts so that your points are
stronger:
• Animate the graph or table elements
• Use drawing tools to highlight a portion of the
table or graph
• Use strong contrasting color for drawing
element
• Use callout box drawing tool

17. 2. The data suggest that the high-level wells tap interconnected, though
bounded, aquifers whose rate of water level decline is inversely proportional
to its volume. Future well drilling for high-level potable sources must include
accurate, well-designed aquifer tests that will aid in the determination of
geologic boundaries to provide information on the geometry of the aquifer.
3. The data suggest that there may be more than geological mechanism that
created the high-level aquifer.
4. The data suggest that there is a water level pattern observed in the high-level
wells with Keopu being the “drain” for the ground-water flow system. The
ground-water flux south of Keopu is to the north, and north of Keopu, the
ground-water flow is to the south.
5. Some high-level wells do exhibit quasi-stable water levels, and show little
variation over time. Use of long-term water level transducers in these wells
should continue in conjunction with long-term water level transducers in those
wells that show water level decline. Real time correlation between water
levels in the wells with climatic conditions measured at Lanihau Rain Gage
will provide better insight into the behavior of the potable high-level aquifers.

1. Insert a Picture by choosing
Insert>Picture>From File
2. Resize it to completely fill the frame
3. Keeping the picture selected, choose
Format>Picture>Image Control
4. Under Color, choose Washout
20. What makes the design of
a .ppt presentation
ineffective?
• Slides read word for word (60%)
• Text too small (51%)
• Full sentences used (48%)

21. Tip #7
Do use some graphics in your slideshow.
Nothing is more boring than an all-text
slideshow. Choose them carefully, though.
22. JPG or JPEG
This stands for “Joint Photographic
Experts Group”
This is the best file type to use if your
image is a photo or a scan
This file type allows for a full range of
colors in a small file
23. Appropriate Use of ImagesResponsibilities of the Specialist
Synthesis
Leadership
Scholarship
24. GIF
This stands for “Graphical Interface
Format”
This is the best file type to use for
logos, line art, or other images with
limited colors
GIF files only store colors that are
actually used in the image
26. TIF or TIFF
This stands for “Tagged Image File
Format.”
This is the best file type to use if you
need transparency in the image
It is the most widely used file format in
desktop publishing
28. What About Resolution?
“Resolution” = number of pixels per inch in a bitmap
image
The more dots per inch (dpi), the higher the resolution
Higher resolution (“high res”) means a better quality
image
one
pixel
HOWEVER…
PowerPoint only displays at 92 dpi onscreen
29. What Resolution Should I Use?
Can you tell the difference on screen?
How about if you print it?
300 dpi 72 dpi
30. What Resolution Should I Use?
So what’s the difference?
300 dpi 72 dpi
This image is 1.4 MB This image is 240 K
31. Tip #8 On Screen vs. Print
ON SCREEN 92 dpi
PRINTING 300 dpi
If showing PowerPoint presentation on screen only,
use images at 92 dpi
If printing PowerPoint presentation, use images at
300 dpi
High res images look better when printed but make
presentation file big
Never start with a low res image and try to increase
it’s res. Result will be a fuzzy picture
32. Tip#9 Make it Interactive
•Be able to jump to any slide
•Blank the screen
•Draw on the screen
•Screen Shots
34. Tip #10 Package for CD
Package your
presentations and
all of the
supporting files
and run them from
the CD.
35. Tip #1 Poster Presentations
Construct the poster to include the title,
the author(s), affiliation(s), and a
description of the research, highlighting
the major elements that are covered in
the abstract.
36. Using computer simulation software to enhance student learning

Introduction
Methods
Results
Conclusions
How can the student-learning experience be enhanced using computer
simulations?
This paper describes the use of several simulation programs to promote
active, hands-on learning in a graduate course on crop modeling.
TPSS 601 Crop Modeling covers modeling crop growth and development. In
the laboratory session, students discuss scientific papers.
Software to do crop simulations—CSMP, BASIC, and STELLA—were
introduced into the lab session. Using these software, students developed
their own crop models for homework and lab assignments, and a term
project.
Use of computer simulation software in a crop modeling course enabled
students to develop crop models, thereby enhancing active learning
through hands-on experience.
Enhanced understanding of crop physiology and relationship between
crop and environment.
Students had hands-on experience developing their own crop models.
Enabled exploring "what if" scenarios.
Software Advantages Disadvantages
CSMP
Simple coding.
Models already available.
Crude graphs.
Need to run on mainframe computer.
BASIC
Simple coding.
Models already available.
Students would have to learn language.
Many lines of code needed.
STELLA
Graphical icon based.
Relational diagram approach.
Logistics—only Mac version used.
Software is expensive.

43. Tip #5
Make sure your fonts are consistent and
are large enough to be read from a
distance, i.e., do not simply pin up a set
of typed pages--reserve these for your
handout.
44. Tip #6
Consider using a flow chart or some
other method of providing the viewer with
a guide to inspecting your display.

Editor's Notes
One of the best reasons to use PowerPoint is the ability it gives you to present content in a qualitatively different way through the use of graphics, charts, animation, and even video or audio.
We all learn differently and a presentation using PowerPoint can help those who are Visual as well as Auditory learners
Too much text distracts your audience and can be difficult to read.
Say you were discussing the Declaration of Independence and wanted your audience to follow along with you.
Wouldn’t it be easier for them if you broke down the text to the most basic points?
A simple rule of thumb to follow is writing by the number 6
6 words per bullet item
6 bullets per slide
6 word slides in a row
Have each bullet point start with a verb or noun, if verbs use all the same tense, use capitalization
The rule of thumb is one method of transition and one type of animation for the whole slideshow.
Do not have some text flying in, some spiraling, etc.
Move from slide to slide with one transition, rather than trying out several.
I can tell that you all aren’t focusing on me but are totally fixed on what is on the screen.
If you want to use an effect to add a little animation to your text but keep it simple, use the APPEAR effect, which just makes the text appear and is the easiest for your audience to read.
This is from a presentation at a conference I went to. The entire PowerPoint was like this and made it difficult to read.
FONTS: The larger, the better. Remember, you want your points to be readable even at the back of the venue.
As with print documents, using a combination of serif and sans serif fonts--one for headings, the other for body text because it provides contrast and interest to your slides.
Sans serif fonts are Verdana, Arial and Helvetica. They have even lines and no appendages
Serif fonts are Times and Times New Roman.
My own pet peeve is the always used blue background. It’s the one I see most used at conferences. Try something different. That’s why PowerPoint comes with templates.
Choose your background based on a room's lighting: While what is most common is to design with a dark background when you plan to project your slideshow onto a screen, in reality, the best background has to do with the presentation location. Although light text on a dark background looks best in a dark or slightly darkened room, in a light room the dark background may look so faded that light text may not show up as well. For this kind of situation, it doesn't hurt to try dark text on a lighter background
A bad table, too much information in an unreadable format.
Appropriate use of graphs and tables is one way to enhance the message you are delivering.
Draw the audience’s attention
Too many elements on one slide will simply distract your audience.
Never allow the slides to draw attention away from you for long periods of time. Take charge. Be engaging yourself.
DO NOT SIMPLY READ WHAT IS ON THE SLIDES. This is the same as passing out handouts and then just reading all of it back to your audience. You should have much more to say than what appears on the slides. If you want your audience to have copies of all that you say, pass out note pages after your presentation.
Reveal the KEY IDEA only….a bullet point is a short summation of all you know about the idea
Use consistent style: each point start with a verb or noun, if verbs use all the same tense, use capitalization
“Resolution” refers to the number of pixels, or dots, per inch in a bitmap image. An image with 1 bit of color information per pixel. (all photos or scans are bitmap images)
PowerPoint only displays at 72 dpi onscreen, so a 300 dpi image will look exactly the same as a 72 dpi image while taking up a lot more memory
NOTE: Since PowerPoint embeds images into the file, using smaller images will help prevent the PowerPoint file from getting too big and possibly crashing.
Recent conference, PPP was 60 MB. Caused computer to crash and the conference to be delayed by 20 minutes.
Fuzzy photo. Common error is to enlarge an image that has low resolution. I don’t have a high resolution image of this logo.
It looked good when it was smaller and at its proper size but I wanted it bigger for this presentation.
I enlarged it but you can see that it is pixelated.
Jump: set up links within your presentation so that your PP is non-linear and you can improvise last minute according to your audience’s needs or interests
Blank: when you want your audience’s focus hit the “B” key
DRAW: Right click, point to Pointer Options, and then click Pen. If you make a mistake just hit the “E” key
Use screen shots when you don’t have internet connection and you want to show a web site or when you don’t have the original image but need to use it in your presentation.
Be sure to follow all copyright rules.
Press the Shift and Print Screen keys at the same time on a Mac or the Print Screen button on a PC keyboard
You can now package your presentations and all of the supporting files (including linked files), and automatically run them from a CD.
The updated PowerPoint Viewer is included on the CD when you package your presentations, which lets you to show your presentation on a computer that does not have PowerPoint installed.
A poster is like a snapshot of your research
Rehearse your show several times before presenting it to a live audience. Know when you will move on and have some sense of the time required. Know how to use the computer. Don't be fumbling about trying to figure out how to move from slide to slide.
Avoid standing or sitting right behind your computer when you present. If necessary, have an assistant run the computer while you speak.
PowerPoint slideshows are intended to accompany and illustrate your own verbal presentation
Check equipment: Turn on all equipment and make sure it all works, especially the hand controller. Batteries good?
Equipment: What equipment will be used? Computer? Overhead projector? What are its features? Who is responsible for getting it all to the site and set up?
Software: What software (and its version number!) will run the presentation? Does it match what you used to create it? If not, does it matter?
Media: How will you transport the presentation to the site? Will your presentation fit on the media you plan to use to transport it? Can the computer that will run the presentation use that type of media? (floppy disk, zip disk, USB drive, CD, DVD?)
Handouts: Who is bringing? How to distribute and when and by whom?
