Anyone who has seen a cephalopod such as an octopus or squid move knows that they are amazing creatures. Caterina Lamuta, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Iowa, has taken a keen interest in these creatures and has found new ways to mimic cephalopod tentacles in the lab.
Title: Remote Sensing Science and System Engineering: Not Just a Tool
Abstract: Remote sensing of the earth from space and airborne platforms has reached a “Golden Age.” Technology has come a long way since the first aerial photographs taken from hot-air balloons circa 1860 and the first images collected by a satellite in 1960. Today, there are around 700 earth observing satellites in orbit and countless airborne systems operated by governments, commercial companies, universities, and even…
Learn to cut cardboard, paper, wall and window vinyl cling, along with hundreds of other materials. You can also design a variety of products from etextiles to paper circuits using the Cricut. Cricut is the brand-name of a non-industrial die-cutting machine, or cutting plotter, used for a variety of projects. The newest Cricut Maker works with hundreds of materials from fabrics to balsa wood. It can cut, write and score material and comes equipped with a rotary blade and knife blade. The…
Abstract:
The use of interactive technologies is changing the way our cognitive processes work: from perception to memory, attention, learning, problem solving, communication, and metacognition. In fact, we may be seeing the beginnings of one of the largest shifts in cognition brought about by technology, perhaps even bigger than the changes brought by handwriting and mathematical notation. The problem is that we have largely been reactive. For the most part, technology designers develop what…

TriNetX training
This training will provide an in depth look at TriNetX and show you how to use the tool. We will go through building a study, searching for a specific population, and finally what information you gather from the specific cohort. We will also discuss next steps on getting data extracted for research.
After this training you will have a thorough understanding of how to use TriNetX and what the process is to get data extracted for research studies.
