Why dread a bump on the head? The neuroscience of traumatic brain injury | Project NEURON | University of Illinois This lesson serves as the introduction to the “Why dread a bump on the head?” unit. Students are introduced to traumatic brain injury (TBI) through pictures and discussions that help students break down prior assumptions and begin to think about TBI from a scientific perspective. Students learn about and discuss the three classifications of TBI, mild, moderate, and severe. These categories are presented through the reading and discussion of news articles. Students then examine a hypothetical situation where they are the doctors on a brain injury case. In the first scene of The Golden Hour, as the player, students go out with an emergency services medical team to respond to a bike accident in which the biker hit his head.
Milankovitch Orbital Data Viewer Global and Seasonal Distribution of Incoming Solar Radiation Compare distribution of daily mean radiation at two different times: Global/Seasonal Distribution of Differences Difference: Perturbed Orbit - Reference Time: These changes can be predicted (and hindcast) by numerical integration of the multibody equations of celestial mechanics. The daily mean top-of-the atmosphere incoming solar radiation (insolation) by latitude and season is determined from the orbital parameters using well-known formulae based on spherical trigonometry (see derivation on wikipedia).

Juegos para niños para prevenir el abuso de drogas Quizá no pasa por tu mente la posibilidad de los niños abusando de drogas en una edad temprana, pero muchos niños están expuestos a las drogas o el alcohol en algún punto durante sus años escolares. Es importante educarlos acerca de los peligros de las drogas cuando son pequeños. Haz que los niños participen en un par de actividades que les ayudarán a pensar porque deben decir "no". Juegos de rol Organiza algunos juegos de roles. Crucigramas Hazlos jugar crucigramas como los que están disponibles en el sitio web de PBS Kids (ver Recursos). Juegos en línea Si los niños tienen acceso a una computadora, déjalos jugar juegos en línea que los eduquen sobre los efectos de la droga. por ejemplo, NIDA para Adolescentes tiene un juego de prueba llamado el Reto del Dr. Juego del globo inflado/desinflado

axioms Contents Contents | rgb Home | Philosophy Home | Axioms | Other Books by rgb: | The Book of Lilith | Axioms is a work that explores the true nature of human knowledge, in particular the fundamental nature of deductive and inductive reasoning. It begins by embracing Hume's Skepticism and Descartes' one ``certain'' thing, and then looking for a way out of the solipsistic hell this leaves one in in terms of ``certain'' knowledge. Indeed, to the extent that philosophy in the past has sought to provide certain answers to virtually any question at all, philosophy itself proves to be bullshit - all philosophical arguments ultimately come back to at least one unprovable premise, usually unstated, and can be refuted by simply asserting ``I don't agree with your premises.'' The way out is to give up the idea of certain knowledge. Axioms by Robert G. Dedication No book is written in a vacuum. Notice Copyright Notice Copyright Robert G. Lulu Press www.lulu.com

Surprises in steel: The mystery behind Detroit entrepreneur's revolutionary Flash Bainite A Detroit entrepreneur surprised academics when he invented a heat-treatment that makes steel 7 percent stronger than any steel on record – in less than 10 seconds. That steel, now trademarked as Flash Bainite, has tested stronger and more shock-absorbing than the most common titanium alloys used by industry. Now Gary Cola is helping researchers at Ohio State University to better understand the science behind the new treatment, called flash processing. What they've discovered may hold the key to making cars and military vehicles lighter, stronger, and more fuel-efficient. In the current issue of Materials Science and Technology, the inventor and his Ohio State partners describe how rapidly heating and cooling steel sheets changes the microstructure inside the alloy to make it stronger and less brittle. "Steel is what we would call a 'mature technology.' Yet, when inventor Gary Cola initially approached him, Babu didn't know what to think. Cola's entire process took less than 10 seconds.
