The document outlines a design project for a School for Digital Design that explores the use of Voronoi diagrams to generate the spatial organization and relations between functions in the building design. It describes initial experiments using Voronoi tools in Maya to model 3D spatial relations and the potential of this approach. The project then examines how to develop the Voronoi concept further through physical modeling and defining the rooms, functions, and network connections between spaces.
In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a partitioning of a plane into regions based on 'closeness' to points in a specific subset of the plane.
In this presentation you will seen definitions of Voronoi Diagrams and also computing Voronoi Diagrams ways.
Proofs are explained in details and easiest way.
Attention!: This presentation has animation effects to describe problems better and visually, so you should download it and then view it with Microsoft PowerPoint, or you can't see parts of some pages. Also this file has first two parts of subjects: "Definition and Basic Properties" &"Computing the Voronoi Diagram".

Let's go to the whiteboard: how and why software developers use drawingsMauro Cherubini
Software developers are rooted in the written form of their code, yet they often draw diagrams representing their code. Unfortunately, we still know little about how and why they create these diagrams, and so there is little research to inform the design of visual tools to support developers' work. This paper presents findings from semi-structured interviews that have been validated with a structured survey. Results show that most of the diagrams had a transient nature because of the high cost of changing whiteboard sketches to electronic renderings. Diagrams that documented design decisions were often externalized in these temporary drawings and then subsequently lost. Current visualization tools and the software development practices that we observed do not solve these issues, but these results suggest several directions for future research.
Maebh Costello, Director of UX Design Labs, McKesson
Building the first UX team in a global business is very exciting. But handling the resultant demand for the team's multidisciplinary skill set is challenging. I quickly realised that you cannot scale a team by hiring only. I needed to think differently. I needed to use Design Thinking to explore how might we share my team's resources with our primary users, software developers. We re-envisioned how we share our design resources. This innovation leads to the creation of cutting edge technical solutions, enabling developers to access and use the design resources in their development environments. Learn how we at McKesson's global UX design labs team used this strategy to invigorate our workflow and scale.
Key Takes:
Design Thinking works, don't be afraid to use it on yourself and your team.
Make the most of your design resources such as Design Systems and UX Writing Style guides.
Bring design resource to the users environment.
Scale your UX Design team with design thinking.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. Interaction between the Designer, his tools Develop tools to help the designer in the act of
and the design exploring alternatives
What is the emerging relationship between the designer
and the tool with Design Space Exploration?
Research
This research is done from two different points of view. The first being
the use of digital tools to create a novel approach to a number of
design task situated in the design of a building. The second that of
the development of new tools and techniques and the conditions in
which they should function within the design project.

5. Design Space Exploration
Design Space Exploration embraces a number of design
methods which all focus on the use of alternatives as act
of designing. The computer’s role is to help the designer to
explore the alternatives.

6. Explorating alternatives
Although the term Design Space Exploration sounds very
contemporary the idea is actually quite old. Design Space
Exploration is basically the exploration of alternatives in a
design process. And that is exactly what architects and other
designers have been doing for over centuries.

9. General
Using scripting the designer (or the toolbuilder) can close the
gap between the more general software available and the
specific tools needed without writing new software.
Useful
A tool designed to perform multiple tasks and fit multiple
processes or designers can be considered general and more
likely less useful in a specific design problem. Whereas a more
specific tool can be much more useful but less general.

digital tools support the designer in the early stages of
the design project?

float $maxDistance = `arclen $maxDistanceCurve`;
To be able to have a designer who is also a toolbuilder, delete $maxDistanceCurve;
the designer needs to have a better understanding
of toolbuilding. How can we achieve this and can // For each point create the voronoi volume by substracting all other volumes
toolbuilding be made more accessible for a designer? $k = 0;
