Schools do not define education, and they are not the only institutions in which learning takes place. After-school programs, music lessons, Scouts, summer camps, on-the-job training, and home activities all offer out-of-school educational experiences. In "Learning at Not-School," Julian Sefton-Green explores studies and scholarly research on out-of-school learning, investigating just what it i…
The global economic crisis of 2008-2009 seemed a crisis not just of economic performance but also of the system's underlying political ideology and economic theory. But a second Great Depression was averted, and the radical shift to New Deal-like economic policies predicted by some never took place. Perhaps the correct response to the crisis is simply careful management of the macroeconomic cha…
High Performance Fortran (HPF) is a set of extensions to Fortran expressing parallel execution at a relatively high level. For the thousands of scientists, engineers, and others who wish to take advantage of the power of both vector and parallel supercomputers, five of the principal authors of HPF have teamed up here to write a tutorial for the language. There is an increasing need for a common…
Papers presented at the Conference on Household Portfolios, held in Florence, Italy, Dec. 17-18, 1999.Theoretical and empirical analysis of the structure of household portfolios.Until recently, researchers in economics and finance paid relatively little attention to household portfolios. Reasons included the tendency of most households to hold simple portfolios, the inability of the dominant as…

Peran Darwin dalam biologi evolusi sulit dipahami tanpa kontribusi Gregor Mendel, James Watson, dan Francis Crick. Mendel menemukan pola pewarisan yang luar biasa terkait dengan beberapa karakter eksplisit—fenotipe—yang dapat ditafsirkan sebagai hasil serangkaian faktor pewarisan yang diturunkan berdasarkan aturan matematika sederhana dari generasi ke generasi. Namun, ilmu pengetahuan harus…
Konsep proteogenomik, memanfaatkan kemajuan dari bidang proteomik dan genomik, diperkenalkan sekitar waktu selesainya pengurutan genom manusia. Kemunculan proteogenomik terutama disebabkan oleh pesatnya perkembangan dua teknologi utama: pengurutan DNA dengan throughput tinggi dan proteomik berbasis spektrometri massa. Kemampuan untuk menentukan urutan protein dengan spektrometri massa telah men…
Originally presented as the author's thesis (Ph. D.)--MIT, 1985.A theoretical framework for the design of digital communication.Traditional visual design expresses information in fixed forms, such as print or film, so the message can be stored or distributed. With interactive media and continuously updated information, communication entails a new, more dynamic set of design problems. In this bo…
