In this introductory lesson, coders create a silly dance for Scratch Cat using motion blocks. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce young coders to creating algorithmic sequences in ScratchJr.
Now we attach our particle to a spring.
First let's think about how to rotate some really simple points such as (0,0) and (1,0)
Chemistry is the study of matter and the ways in which different forms of matter combine with each other
First we'll use the slope intercept form of a line to define each frame along a straight line.
Os painéis elaborados e disponibilizados para implantação no geossítio Vila Pedra, são produtos geodidáticos de geoeducação a serem utilizados por professores e alunos de ensino básico do município de Irituia e visitantes do local. Eles contêm informações e interpretações geocientíficas e de curiosidades presentes na formação geológica do geossítio, em uma linguagem acessível, dando suporte a sua utilização como espaço de ensino não formal e à visitação turística mais interessante e de forma sustentável, contribuindo para a divulgação e valorização do geossítio.
First let's look at ray tracing in 2D using a simple example.
First you'll connect shapes together using joints that rotate.
First we need to make sure we understand exactly what happens in the split & average steps.
Let's start by drawing every frame, one by one...
Find out how we can make curved lines using straight ones using the string art construction.
What happens if the director changes their mind and asks for two headed robots?
First we'll review weighted averages of two points and extend the idea to three points. Practice weighted averages of two points in Environment Modeling if you haven't seen it before.
How can we calculate a weighted average between two points? (pssst. This video is super important).
Introduction to the basics of ray tracing.
This exercise uses the example of the March 28, 2014 M5.1 La Habra earthquake to teach about earthquake risk and resilience in southern California. Students will examine seismic waveforms recording during the earthquake, as well as read reports from scientific agencies and news outlets to answer basic questions regarding earthquake risk and resilience.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Since 1991, the international Banff Classification has been revisited every 2 years to integrate advances in clinical research into best-treatment practices for organ transplantation. At the 2017 Banff conference, 479 delegates from 23 countries reviewed two seminal concerns in the kidney-transplant field: how T cell-mediated rejection is related to inflammation in areas of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, and the evolution of molecular diagnostics, particularly for identifying antibody-mediated rejection. These discussions prompted significant updates to the Banff scheme. The relationship between i-IFTA severity and graft survival has been well established. Despite this, i-IFTA has previously been excluded as a diagnostic criterion of TCMR. Recent findings, however, suggest that inflammation in IFTA can be a manifestation of chronic active TCMR, particularly when other features of T cell-mediated alloimmunity, such as tubulitis, are present..."

"The Materials Research Society is proud to announce the 2020 MRS Communications Lecture honorees, Drs. Chun-Teh Chen and Grace Gu from the University of California, Berkeley. The honor recognizes excellence in the field of materials research through work published in MRS Communications. Drs. Chen and Gu are recognized this year for their prospective paper on how researchers are harnessing artificial intelligence to accelerate the design and discovery of composite materials. Their work is featured in volume nine, issue two of MRS Communications. Composites are combinations of two or more base materials, whose collective properties exceed those possessed by either material alone. Composites are widely used as structural materials in the automotive and aerospace industries and can also be easily found in nature. Limitations in manufacturing methods have generally restricted the architecture these materials take on in real-world applications. Most commonly, they’re processed into multilayer sheets..."

In this activity, students determine their own eyesight and calculate what a good average eyesight value for the class would be. Students learn about technologies to enhance eyesight and how engineers play an important role in the development of these technologies.
In 2016 the LIS-Bibliometrics Forum commissioned the development of a set of bibliometric competencies (2017 Model), available at https://thebibliomagician.wordpress.com/2017-competencies-archived/. The work, sponsored by a small research grant from Elsevier Research Intelligence Division, was led by Dr. Andrew Cox at the University of Sheffield, and Dr. Sabrina Petersohn of the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany. The aim of the competency statements was to ensure that bibliometric practitioners were equipped to do their work responsibly and well.
The Competency Model was updated in July 2021 and includes a colour gradient to reflect the Levels and how they build upon one another. In particular, the 2021 competencies can help:
To identify skills gaps
To support progression through career stages for practitioners in the field of bibliometrics
To prepare job descriptions
The work underpinning the paper is available here: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0961000617728111. It is intended that the competencies are a living document and will be reviewed over time.
