One of the most difficult issues for educators, when faced with a copyright problem, is simply knowing where to begin -- which parts of the legal rules and doctrines apply to the specific problem? To deal with this uncertainty, we suggest working through the following five questions, in the order they are presented. They are simple questions, but they are not easy to answer; by working through them in order, it is possible to identify which of the parts of copyright law apply to the specific problem or fact pattern that you need to address.

This project presents the method for the segmentation and detection of tumor of Magnetic Resonances brain images using intuitionistic fuzzy representation and intuitionistic fuzzy divergence method. In this proposed method, skull stripping is carried out for the removal of unwanted portion from the brain image using morphology. A Restricted equivalence function from automorphisms is used for intuitionistic fuzzy representation of image. Sugeno type intuitionistic fuzzy generator is used to calculate non-membership and hesitation degree. A new distance measure, Intuitionistic Fuzzy Divergence is used to find the optimum threshold to detect the brain tumour from MR images. The results showed a much better performance on poor illuminated brain MR images, where the brain tumor is detected properly.

This is a teacher guide for operating a GenWe classroom. From the very beginning to the launch of the program, these resources will help teachers and students build the ideal learning environment to improve social competence. What is the GenWe Classroom? It is an elective course for middle and high school students designed to help them learn how to interact and cooperate and use technology responsibly. The class is managed by the students and teachers collaboratively. The structure of the class allows the students to make decisions based on evaluating the input from peers, near-peers, and adults. In order for normal social situations to occur, the students need to be allowed to manage themselves, including their learning. Ideally the GenWe Classroom will include a budget. Students will be responsible for planning the learning materials they will need for the semester.

A good detective or researcher like Sherlock Holmes knows the fundamental questions that need to be answered to gather facts to solve a problem. So how does geospatial intelligence contribute to answering these questions? While geospatial technology is useful in revealing who, what, when, and where events take place, it is less useful in explaining why events occur. However, geospatial intelligence analysis leverages geographic information science and technology with the intelligence tradecraft to develop products that support decision-making in national and homeland security, law enforcement, emergency management, and international relief efforts. GEOG 882 will challenge you to think critically, consider alternative viewpoints, and question your own assumptions when analyzing why human events occur over place and time.
