From Observation to Prediction in the 21st Century
Stewardship of marine resources in the 21st Century demands the development of predictive tools based on models and field observations. The challenge of developing these tools forms the theme of the 2010 Ocean Sciences meeting.
This overarching theme emphasizes efforts to link observations and models to form superior predictions across multiple space and time scales. It encompasses research focusing on some aspect of observations, models, and also field or laboratory experiments that ultimately seek to enhance our predictive ability, as well as efforts focusing on education, outreach, and marine policy.
This is a course for people whose native language is other than English and who must write documents in support of therapeutic product development or regulatory submissions. This course is valuable for pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech professionals in drug discovery, product development, quality assurance, clinical testing, information technology, and regulatory affairs who have some understanding of English, but wish to refine their writing skills. It is also helpful for native-born writers who want to better understand the English language and how to control it.
The NACK Center has several nano-characterization tools that can be controlled remotely by users around the world. By sending us your samples, or using standard NACK samples, you can have access to these powerful tools without the need for maintenance, dedicated staff, or capital investment. A NACK engineer will load the samples and be on hand to provide technical support throughout the process. NACK is also willing to provide a technical expert to assist in answering questions about the tool or the process and can interact directly with your students during the remote session.
The NACK Center offers several lab activities, but you are also welcome to design your own depending on your needs and curricular goals. Once you feel comfortable operating the equipment, you are able to run the laboratory experience entirely by yourself. Staff will always be on hand to ensure successful operation as well as provide sample loading and other services that are unable to be performed remotely.
This workshop will explore the georeferencing of historical maps. A historical map that was originally created on paper will not have an electronic reference to the surface of the earth. This workshop will explore how to take a map that was originally created on paper and reference it to the surface of the earth so that it can be utilized in a geospatial system. This allows the educator to utilize today’s images with data created in the past. The specific case that will be done will be to georeference civil war battlefields with imagery and shapefiles of today. The heads up digitization of information contained on the map will also be done. No previous GIS knowledge is required. Online video and printable documents will be available for the participants to use after the workshop.
Instructor: Vince DiNoto
Workshop will meet from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm in Room 108 of the Business building.
This workshop will be held on the Southwest Campus of Jefferson Community and Technical College. The college is located at 1000 Community College Drive, Louisville, KY 40272.

Cyber Defense and Disaster Recovery Conference 2010: Protecting Yourself and Your Business from International Threats In 2010, we will address the very present and ever growing risk to businesses and individuals from international cyber threats. Most foreign intelligence services that pose a risk to the United States have moved to an asymmetric posture, using both cyber-based and physical contact methods to gather intelligence information to gain a technological and/or military advantage. This asymmetric attack manifests itself in a variety of ways: direct attacks on major computer networks to steal information; compromising of key persons through e-mail and social networking on the Internet who may or may not be aware of their assistance to the adversary; and physically contacting U.S. persons both at home and while on foreign travel to compromise them and/or their electronic devices, among others. Due to the "take all" attitude of foreign intelligence services and the insiders they compromise, no one is immune it is important for all of us to maintain a healthy respect for the privacy of our personal and business electronics and information in the global economy. We will have 8 speakers approach the theme from different perspectives. Our keynote speaker is Michael Davis, co author of the high regarded Hacking Exposed.
This workshop is an introductory workshop that will discuss the theory of how and why to create instructional video. The participants will learn the basic workings of a video camera and voice over.
