New Delhi: In order to give a patience hearing to the agitating students and also to hear the voice of those who are not participating in agitation, and to resolve the ongoing agitation on the issue of upgradation of DCE to DTU, a meeting of Board of Management (BOM) has been convened tomorrow, Marc...

This is a free, online wikibook, so it is continually being updated and refined. According to the authors, the group "is dedicated to making a free, open-content, standardized textbook on World History based on the AP World History Standard. The goal is to create a standard of quality which will suffice for a secondary and post-secondary environment. The World History Project is the "brains" behind the organization. We are a set of regular contributors who organize and give the major guidance to the World History page."

According to the authors, "Indian art is the term commonly used to designate the art of the Indian subcontinent, which includes the present political divisions of India, Kashmir, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Although a relationship between political history and the history of Indian art before the advent of Islam is at best problematical, a brief review will provide a broad context."

The structures of 12 molecules (drawn in ChemSketch) are given. The corresponding FT-IR spectra are given, in scrambled order, in a SoftChalk slideshow. With interactive SoftChalk labeling activities, the user matches functional groups/chromophores to spectral peaks/bands. Finally, with SoftChalk labeling exercises the user identifies each spectrum. Detailed feedback is given for each answer. IR charts are provided. Links to simulations which demonstrate the relationships of functional groups/chromophores/bonds to the frequencies of IR radiation they absorb, the types of vibrations produced by each absorption, and the spectral peaks/bands that result from each absorption are given.

Skeptics say that a major contributor to CO2 levels in the atmosphere are only in small part due to human emissions. Instead, they argue that COz levels are due to natural causes such as volcanic erruptions.

According to the authors, "Western Music History can be traced back to Medieval times, with the Introduction of Chanting (later termed Gregorian Chanting) into the Catholic church services. Western Music then started becoming more of an art form with the advances in music notation and more focus on secular themes that occurred in the Renaissance period. We then have expansions of range and complexity as we move into the Baroque era. The Classical era gives us the emotional power associated with such composers as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Romanticism then transforms the rigid styles and forms of the Classical era into more individualistic stylizations. Tonality was at its peak during this period, then Impressionist music paved the way to the use of extreme dissonances in the music of the Modern era. This process continued into the current Contemporary period of music."

This is a free, online wikibook, so its content is continually being updated and refined. According to the authors, "This book is about microcontrollers, in the field of digital control systems. We will discuss embedded systems, real-time operating systems, and other topics of interest. It is important to realize that embedded systems rarely have display capabilities, and if they do have displays, they are usually limited to small text-only LCD displays. The challenge of programming an embedded system then is that it is difficult to get real-time feedback from the system without a display. It is common to use a simple serial interface for diagnostic purposes, for example by connecting to a PC running terminal software via a RS-232 to USB adapter. Also, embedded systems usually have very strict memory limitations, processor limitations, and speed limitations that must play a factor in designing an embedded system, and programming an embedded computer. This book talks about some of the specific issues involved in programming an embedded computer. It also covers some basic topics such as microprocessor architectures, FPGAs, and some general low-level computing topics. While many of the issues discussed in this book may apply to PCs, and non-embedded computers, this book remains focused on topics that apply to embedded systems only."

A system is composed of regularly interacting or interdependent groups of activities/parts that form a whole. Part of systems theory, system dynamics is a method for understanding the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The basis of the method is the recognition that the structure of any system -- the many circular, interlocking, sometimes time-delayed relationships among its components -- is often just as important in determining its behavior as the individual components themselves. Examples are chaos theory and social dynamics."

What does it mean to be an American? Far from being a fixed concept, over the past 150 years American identity has been constructed and reconstructed through the conflicts, interchanges, and negotiations between different ethnic, cultural, and religious groups. In this course, we will pay particular ...

An introduction to European history from around 1500 to the present. The central question that the course addresses is how and why Europe-- a small, relatively poor, and politically fragmented place-- became the motor of globalization and a world civilization in its won right. Put differently how did ...

This course covers transport processes of mass, momentum, and energy from a macroscopic view with emphasis both on understanding why matter behaves as it does and on developing practical problem solving skills. The course is divided into four parts: introduction, conduction, convection, and radiation.
