In this activity, students work in groups, plotting carbon dioxide concentrations over time on overheads and estimating the rate of change over five years. Stacked together, the overheads for the whole class show an increase on carbon dioxide over five years and annual variation driven by photosynthesis. This exercise enables students to practice basic quantitative skills and understand how important sampling intervals can be when studying changes over time. A goal is to see how small sample size may give incomplete picture of data.

Introduction to selecting the proper punch and die for air bending or bottoming when forming on a press brake. Includes charts and methods for selection.

Being able to step voltages to a higher value and step voltages down to a lower value is one of the benefits of alternating current. This book will explain how this is possible through transformers with a focus on single phase.

This team-taught multidisciplinary course provides information relevant to the conduct and interpretation of human brain mapping studies. It begins with in-depth coverage of the physics of image formation, mechanisms of image contrast, and the physiological basis for image signals. Parenchymal and cerebrovascular neuroanatomy and application of sophisticated structural analysis algorithms for segmentation and registration of functional data are discussed. Additional topics include: fMRI experimental design including block design, event related and exploratory data analysis methods, and building and applying statistical models for fMRI data; and human subject issues including informed consent, institutional review board requirements and safety in the high field environment.

Lesson covers collinear points, coplanar points, opposite rays and intersection of two lines, two planes or a line and plane.

Objective: The student will list 2 short term goals and two long term goals using the SMARTER method.Teacher Lecture:Key Terms:Short term goals: A short-term goal is something you want to do in the near future. The near future can mean today, this week, this month, or even this year.Long term Goals: Goals that take a long time to achieve are called long-term goals.SMARTER goal setting method: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely, Evaluation and Readjustmant.Video: Accomplish Your Dreams in 2017Video provided by Heather. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVzgz47HsbyUA1S9pp79VUg/aboutCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported— CC BY-SA 3.0    Students will watch the 8 minute video to reinforce the instructors lecture.   

In this activity, students learn about sea ice extent in both polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic). They start out by forming a hypothesis on the variability of sea ice, testing the hypothesis by graphing real data from a recent 3-year period to learn about seasonal variations and over a 25-year period to learn about longer-term trends, and finish with a discussion of their results and predictions.

In conjunction with Connected Educator Month throughout October, 2014 ISKME and KQED are launching the Connected Educator Challenge, an opportunity for Connected Educators to share what they are currently doing in their work and envision the future of what being a Connected Educator will look like. Connected Educators are invited to make and share media in response to the prompt below:

Show us your vision for your future as a Connected Educator. Where do you hope to be in the future as a Connected Educator? What will your learning environment look like? How will your students be connected? What kinds of activity will you and your students be engaged in? How will you and your students meet the challenge of an increasingly interconnected world?
Show us your vision for the future as a Connected Educator. Where do you hope to be in the future as a Connected Educator?

To provide our students with a uniform and more cohesive online experience, this short course was created to help you design an effective and engaging learning scaffold on which your content can be built. Though not an exhaustive list, this twelve point inspection of instructional design focuses on key elements that you, as an online instructor, should include in your course framework. 

This is an introductory course to MATLAB, the high-performance interactive software. Topics include MATLAB Basics, Plotting, Scripts & Functions and Programming. Additional resources are also provided.

Short Description:
This book explores theoretical perspectives and core issues in the relationship between the media and society, including the production and reception of both news and entertainment. Evaluates the historical, cultural, political and economic contexts of media industries, representations, and audiences.

We present the case of a 61-year-old male with a longstanding history of pituitary macro-prolactinoma medically treated with high dose cabergoline without significant reduction in tumor size. The pituitary lesion was first discovered more than 11 years prior to presentation and had been routinely monitored since that time with serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and hormone profile testing. Pre-operative MRI in July 2014 revealed an enlarged, remodeled sella and a pituitary macroadenoma measuring approximately 2 cm in greatest dimension (Figure 1). Pre-operative laboratory values from March 2015 showed no evidence for an active neuroendocrine tumor. Detailed serology included a prolactin level of 7.6 ng/mL (reference range, 2.1 - 17.7 ng/mL) and a growth hormone level of 0.07 ng/mL (reference range, 0.01 - 0.97 ng/mL). Cortisol, adrenocorticotropic, luteinizing, and follicle stimulating hormones were also within normal serologic range. The patient underwent endoscopic endonasal resection of the pituitary mass, and a gross total resection was achieved. Intraoperatively, the lesion was described as extremely gritty and nodular. Post-operatively, the patient remained asymptomatic for several months despite a slight increase in his prolactin level to 8.9 ng/mL and remains asymptomatic to date almost one year post surgery. His postoperative endocrinologic pituitary hormonal profile is unchanged from his preoperative levels.

A woman in her 20s presented with a one-year history of bifrontal headaches that had recently worsened. After admission to the hospital, the patient displayed no other symptoms and no acute worsening of the headaches.

This is a teaching activity in which students learn about the connection between CO2 emissions, CO2 concentration, and average global temperatures. Through a simple online model, students learn about the relationship between these and learn about climate modeling while predicting temperature change over the 21st century.
