Overview of the Implementing Innovation Course
Leading high tech companies (such as Amazon and Google) are achieving a new standard of performance, combining operational excellence and innovation simultaneously. Established companies (such as GE and IBM) are introducing innovation into their traditional management approaches to similarly achieve growth and cost reduction. We apply the lens of process management to examine the operating model which makes this possible, and introduce a number of topics covered in our course:
What is continuous innovation?
How to structure experiments?
How to create an environment for innovation?
Eu unawe evaluation
The document provides guidance for evaluating the EU-UNAWE astronomy awareness programme. It outlines domains of learning including motivation, scientific skills, knowledge, and intercultural attitudes. Evaluation methods are suggested to gather evidence from children and teachers. For children, options include pre-and post-activity drawings, observations during games or activities, and optional surveys. For teachers, a survey is provided. The goal is to demonstrate the programme's impacts in a way that combines data from different locations and activities.
Injectable Bone’1
Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a toothpaste-like substance that can replace bone grafts for most cases. The substance hardens when it reaches body temperature, allowing it to be easily injected into the body without incisions. While it eliminates the need for bone grafts and their associated surgeries, the joint where the substance fuses with existing bone may still be weak and require pins for support.

CoExistence: Today’s Performance Engine and Tomorrow’s Innovation Energy
There are four powerful and competing forces operating in all organizations today: (1) the turbulence of daily work, (2) incremental process improvement, (3) sustaining innovations, and (4) disruptive innovations. All are essential but truly different in most respects. In a perfect environment, with finite resources, an organization would have all operating together in harmony, with the right proportion of resources devoted to each. How do you get the balance right in your organization?
Stop Making Sucky Presentations!
This document discusses poor presentation slide design. It notes that slides are often filled with too much unimportant text that presenters just read, lack organization and proper formatting. Specific poor design elements called out include typos, lack of alignment, repetition, unrelated stock images, and small or hard to read text and fonts. The document suggests improving slides by unifying design, having a clear purpose on each slide, using proximity, alignment and your own effective images instead of stock ones. It advises preparing well, being respectful of the audience, taking ownership of the presentation, and knowing when design rules can be broken for effectiveness.

TEDxHongkong
TEDx events in Hong Kong brought together speakers and performers to discuss creativity and innovation. The first event in 2010 had 19 speakers, 250 attendees, and a budget of around $80,000 Hong Kong dollars. Subsequent events included TEDx Hong Kong 2011 with over 20 speakers in December 2011 and Empower events, a speaker series, and workshops to continue the discussion. Organizing TEDx provided benefits like networking, project development, and building a sponsor and speaker network for future events.
Cambios en acls guias 2010
The document summarizes changes to resuscitation guidelines between 2010 and 2005, including new recommendations for capnography, ACLS algorithms, medication protocols, post-cardiac arrest care, and prognostic indicators for patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia. Key changes include emphasizing high-quality CPR, removing atropine for PEA/asystole, adding capnography to confirm endotracheal tube placement, and implementing targeted temperature management for comatose post-cardiac arrest patients.
Grote Ijsplaat Valt Uit Elkaar
Deze powerpointpresentatie hebben wij gemaakt naar aanleiding van de Wilkinsonijsplaat die aan het smelten is.
Je kan hem gebruiken voor een les rond "het broeikaseffect".
Er zullen misschien wel enkele aanpassingen aan moeten gebeuren als je hem echt up - to - date wil.

Computingtransformations Spring2005
This document discusses various data transformations that can be used to satisfy assumptions of normality, homogeneity of variance, and linearity. It describes how to compute logarithmic, square root, inverse, and square transformations in SPSS. For each transformation, it provides details on specifying the target variable name, selecting the appropriate function or formula, and adding any necessary constants to the values. The purpose of these transformations is to modify non-normal, non-linear, or heteroscedastic data to better meet the assumptions of parametric statistical tests.
Guida Uso V Teng
This document provides instructions for using the Virtual Telescope Project, which allows remote control of a robotic telescope. It describes how to connect via software, control the telescope to point at objects, take test and final images using camera software, and receive saved images. The system is designed for amateur astronomers and requires registration for paid access, but offers the first hour for free to become familiar with the process.
Large Renovations And What You Need To Know
Planning is essential for large renovations. It is important to set goals and understand financial limitations. The design process requires choosing designers and understanding permits. Setting a realistic budget and choosing a qualified contractor are crucial. Renovations can be stressful but reducing stress and having good project management are important. Grants may be available to help finance renovations. Large renovations transform homes and require many steps.
Astronomy curricula for different ages and cultural backgrounds
This document outlines astronomy curricula for different age groups and cultural backgrounds developed by EUNAWE Germany. It provides guidelines for teaching astronomy concepts to children ages 4-10 in a developmentally appropriate way that links both mythical and scientific thinking. Younger children ages 4-6 focus on observational skills and classification through stories and pretend play. Children ages 6-8 learn about the earth, sun, moon and planets through models and explanations while inspiring curiosity in astronomy. For ages 8-10, the curriculum emphasizes abstract thinking through hands-on observations, models, explanations and biographies of astronomers while introducing more advanced topics like other solar systems. The overall approach aims to foster interest in science, global citizenship and intercultural understanding.
Uniwerse in a Box - Podręcznik
EU-Universe Awareness uses astronomy to encourage children's interest in science and technology and foster global citizenship. Its Universe in a Box program provides hands-on activities and materials to teach difficult astronomy concepts simply to children ages 4-10. The program aims to help children understand their place in the greater universe through activities on the moon, earth, sun, planets, and constellations while promoting respect for other cultures and environmental stewardship. Universe in a Box uses a modular approach with inquiry-based learning to gradually expand children's worldview.

Przegląd misji Mars Science Laboratory
Curiosity is a car-sized Mars rover launching in 2011 to explore Gale Crater using a variety of scientific instruments. It will characterize the planet's geology and climate, assess biological potential, and prepare for future human exploration. Curiosity will use a sky crane maneuver for the first precise landing on Mars and employ a nuclear power source to investigate rocks and soil with tools including cameras, a laser, spectrometers, and a drill. The rover is expected to operate for one Martian year, relaying data to Earth via orbiters to further understand if Mars could have supported microbial life.
21 Century Skills w pigułce
The document describes a 21st Century Skills Map created by The Partnership in cooperation with the National Science Teachers Association to illustrate the intersection between 21st Century Skills and the core subject of Science. The map was developed through extensive research and feedback from educators and business leaders. It provides examples of how skills like critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication can be integrated into Science learning at various grade levels. The goal is to help students advance their learning in core subjects and prepare for the future.
