First Steps with NetLogo First Steps with NetLogo Lets take a few first steps with our modeling frameworks. We will be fairly brief , limiting ourselves to simple "kicking the tires" and writing a hello world in each ABM system (here is the RePast First Steps). Our goal is to gain a feel for what each system is capable of so that we can make intelligent decisions on which one to use for a given task. Note: most images below can be clicked on for a full size image. Introducing NetLogo Note the surprising result with the initial settings: wanting 30% similar neighbors generally results in over 70% similar! Now lets try a few simple commands. Kicking The Tires: The Command Center The command center accepts commands in three contexts: commands for the global Observer, or for commands sent to all of the individual Turtles or Patches as a group. Buttons: A "Hello World" Model We will build our model in four phases, in order to make learning a simple, step-by-step process. From the File menu chose "New". Whew! On to RePast
How Orgasms Work" When gynecologist William H. Masters received official approval for his research project from Washington University in 1954, it was one of academia's closest-kept secrets at the time [source: Kolodny]. Masters even recruited a group of influential community leaders to help ward off any negative public reaction should his scholarly pursuits leak out. Sure, Alfred Kinsey had published "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female" the previous year, but the more hands-on tack Masters intended to take would've certainly ruffled moralistic feathers in that "Leave It to Beaver" era. Over the next 12 years, Masters and his research assistant Virginia Johnson would analyze the sexual arousal patterns among 694 men and women. Compiling more than a decade's-worth of clinical research, Masters and Johnson outlined how men and women achieve sexual orgasms in their 1966 best-seller "Human Sexual Response."

How Kai Fu Lee Talked Me Out of Making a Million Dollars Altucher Confidential Posted by James Altucher The other day on Twitter someone asked me how to make a billion dollars. My response: first make a million. [As an aside: follow and ask me any question on Twitter]. I wanted to make what I thought would be a quick and easy milion dollars at the age of 20. (Lee Chang Ho in the Chun Lan Cup championship, 2005) I was obsessed with the game while I was in grad school. So I visited Kai Fu Lee. (Kai-Fu Lee) I had first met Kai Fu Lee when I was trying to decide what grad school to go to. But later, when I visited Kai-Fu, it had nothing to do with speech recognition. The basic idea was this (very basic): take 10,000 othello positions that are either totally winning or totally losing. Make the move that most closely matches a winning position. So I wanted to win a million dollars by using his same technique for Go and I went to him asked him if he would work on it with me. I gave up.

Innovation without Age Limits Plugged in: A programmer shows his style at a New York area hackathon. Young people entering the workforce today have never known a world without the Web. Venture capitalists in Silicon Valley prefer to fund the young, the next Mark Zuckerberg. Why? The common mantra is that if you are over 35, you are too old to innovate. To a degree, the cult Silicon Valley has built around young people makes sense—particularly in the Internet and mobile technology. These graduates grew up in an era when the whole world was becoming connected. The young understand the limits of the Web world, but they don’t know their own limits. But great ideas by themselves don’t lead to breakthrough technologies or successful companies. Indeed, research by my team revealed that the average and median age of the founders of successful U.S. technology businesses (with real revenues) is 39.
This Is Generation Flux: Meet The Pioneers Of The New (And Chaotic) Frontier Of Business Structural Biology/ Biochemistry 241: Biological Macromolecules 3 credits MWF 1:00 – 2:30 Room M112 Course Description To truly understand biological processes we must understand the macromolecules that carry out biological function. Regardless of one's particular areas of research, this knowledge allows better design and evaluation of experiments and deeper appreciation of the essence of biology. This course provides a rigorous background that will allow students to glean information from protein structures and to use and evaluate thermodynamic and kinetic concepts to understand biological function. Concepts of thermodynamics, molecular forces, and kinetics of enzymatic and diffusional processes will be introduced and related to their practical application in experimental design and interpretation.

EPIC Systems - Trend Compass Trend Compass is a data visualization software using the latest and most powerful ideas in data visualization which is the Animated Motion Chart. Presenting our outstanding motion charts software - Trend Compass; we shall know more about motion charts, and as motion charts are a trend of data visualization; we shall also know what data visualization term means theoretically and practically. Data Visualization is the study of the visual representation of data, defined as information which has been abstracted in some schematic form, including attributes or variables for the units of information. Practically; the aim of data visualization is to purge the burden of analyzing blocks of data by converting these blocks into user-friendly figures which can easily tell what this data means, thus minimizing effort, time, and money consumed in analyzing raw blocks of data. The chart below represents the data of 3 rate plans (“Starâ€, “Primo†and “Aloâ€) of a GSM mobile company. N.B.
From laughing to judging in fifty years: The evolution of televised emotion A new study from NBC reveals how emotions generated from TV shows have mirrored American society. And 'judgment' is the current king of the charts. Glee's Sue Sylvester, played by Jane Lynch By Daniel Roberts, reporter If you're on TV, whether in a drama or reality show, chances are that Americans are sitting on their couches, silently judging you. According to the study, made available exclusively to Fortune, the emotion most frequently elicited by today's top shows is 'judgment,' defined for the purposes of the study as "this show invites me to pass judgment on the actions of these characters." Lauren Zalaznick, President of NBC Universal Women and Lifestyle Entertainment Networks, ran the study and first presented its findings to guests at the TEDWomen conference this month. But the study goes beyond just the current era of TV tastes. Inspiration vs. Comfort vs. Humor vs.
