Tsunami and Earthquake Research at the USGS
No full textThis portal provides access to information on United States Geological Survey (USGS) research and resources on tsunamis and earthquakes. Materials include news and events in USGS tsunami research, an overview of the program, and basic information on the life of a tsunami. There are also links to individual research projects. The site also features an extensive set of tsunami animations of real and hypothetical events, and links to VRML models of real and hypothetical events
Exploring the Yellowstone Geoecosystem
No full textThe Yellowstone collection contains an assortment of digital resources relevant to the geology, geophysics, physiography, hydrology, biota and human impacts in Yellowstone National Park. Materials include a variety of media, including maps, images, virtual field trips, datasets, and technical papers. The resources are arranged according to key topics, exploration pathways that use the Earth system approach, or exploration of topical questions about the Yellowstone Geoecosystem. There is also a browsing area where users can search their own resources by subject area or type of resource
Hall Effect Measurements
No full textThe objective of this Web site is twofold: (1) to describe the Hall measurement technique for determining the carrier density and mobility in semiconductor materials and (2) to initiate an electronic interaction forum where workers interested in the Hall effect can exchange ideas and information. It includes an introductory description of the Hall measurement technique and covers basic principles, equipment, and recommended procedures. Keywords: Conductance, conductivity, resistance, resistivit
Digital Circuits Open Source Textbook
No full textThis open source book on WikiBooks will serve as an introduction to Digital Circuits. This book relies heavily on the concepts of Discrete Math, but will not require any previous knowledge of the subject because all necessary math concepts will be developed in the text. This book does assume a knowledge of basic electrical principles such as current, voltage, and resistance, so the reader may want to brush up on their Circuit Theory. The strength of digital technology in any context is fast, easy duplication with no loss of fidelity. In many media, this serves mainly to streamline distribution. While that aspect cannot be completely overlooked, some artistic endeavors, such as animation, are centered on a process of repeated duplication with systematic changes, so that digital tools often become a central part of the creative process
Nanobliss - Nanotube Image Gallery
No full textNanobliss is a gallery of visualizations of carbon nanotube and silicon structures. The dimensions of these structures range from nanometers to millimeters. The visualizations and the underlying fabrication techniques are new media for artistic expression, and for promoting popular awareness and education about nanomaterials and related technologies
Creating a Safe, Secure Future
No full textThe ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. In this episode of ATETV, water treatment te¬chnology, information technology security and fuel cell technologies are discussed. These are all technologies that safeguard peopleâs lives- from drinking water to computer information to energy systems. Community colleges allow students to gain an education in these and other important emerging technologies. The episode can be watched in full or through the three segments: âThe (Water) Glass is Half Full;â âThe Need for Cyber Security Growsâ and âFuel Cell Technology Offers a World of Opportunityâ. Running time for the full episode of this streaming video is 9:25
Biomedical Technician Training
No full textThis video, created by ATETV and presented by WGBH, takes a look at a Biomedical Technician program. This video shows just what students will need to learn, and how it will be applied to either their occupation after graduation or continuing education. This video discusses the skills needed by graduates, outside of math and science, to be successful. This video is useful for anyone interested in biomedical fields as a career. Educators will also find a background essay, discussion questions, and standards alignment for the material. Running time for the video is 2:47
Introduction to Plastics
No full textTeachers' Domain presents this video as part of a series on advanced technological education. This video illustrates the basics of the plastics industry. The clip teaches the physical properties of plastics, including examples of common plastics. It also includes an animation depicting how monomers join to form polymers, which plastics are made up of. The video goes on to show how polymers and resins are produced. The video may be viewed online or downloaded. To download the clip, users must create a free login for Teachers' Domain. Running time for this QuickTime video is 2:36. Educators will also find a background essay, discussion questions, and standards alignment for the material
