Being active in social media, like in Twitter and Blogs, is one way to reach a larger audience and to enhance a researcher’s impact. Other researchers will learn about their findings through these additional channels and in addition the public, policy makers, and the press. The toolkit shows several ways of how to get in touch with other researchers and discuss findings at an early stage in research networks, conferences, and in social media. It presents open tools for co-writing, online meetings, reference- and project management.

This course will cover fundamentals of digital communications and networking. We will study the basics of information theory, sampling and quantization, coding, modulation, signal detection and system performance in the presence of noise. The study of data networking will include multiple access, reliable packet transmission, routing and protocols of the internet. The concepts taught in class will be discussed in the context of aerospace communication systems: aircraft communications, satellite communications, and deep space communications.

This course provides an introduction to the technology and policy context of public communications networks, through critical discussion of current issues in communications policy and their historical roots. The course focuses on underlying rationales and models for government involvement and the complex dynamics introduced by co-evolving technologies, industry structure, and public policy objectives. Cases drawn from cellular, fixed-line, and Internet applications include evolution of spectrum policy and current proposals for reform; the migration to broadband and implications for universal service policies; and property rights associated with digital content. The course lays a foundation for thesis research in this domain.

This book was written to accompany the Tufts University introductory engineering course, "Engineering in the Kitchen". The book covers foundational topics in the course, including circuit analysis, Python programming, microcontroller I/O using MicroPython, and computer networking.

This article describes what an online social networks is, provides examples of education-focused social networks, and how anyone can use NING to build an online social network.

Networking skills are crucial for your professional success. But, what is networking? How do you go about developing effective networking skills? In this video, Feliú-Mójer discusses how networking is not about collecting business cards, but about building meaningful connections and relationships. She offers practical strategies to build effective networking skills and for building a strong network of contacts. Feliú-Mójer also gives an overview of how you can leverage online platforms to network and advance your career.

"Computer Networking : Principles, Protocols and Practice" is an open-source ebook that explains the main principles of Computer Networking and the key protocols that are used on the Internet.
The first part describes the theoretical foundations of this domain as well and the main algorithms and protocols.
The ebook is intended to be used for an upper-level undergraduate networking course. The second part contains a detailed explanation of the main Internet protocols including HTTP, DNS, TCP, UDP, IPv6, BGP, RIP, OSPF, Ethernet and WiFi.
The last part contains exercises and practical labs to allow the students to test their knowledge.
The Computer Networking: Principles, Protocols and Practice textbook is one of the winners of the first Open Textbook challenge organised by the Saylor foundation in the US.

The course presents an overview of the history and structure of modern operating systems, analyzing in detail each of the major components of an operating system, and exploring more advanced topics in the field, such as security concerns. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: explain what an operating system does and how it is used; identify the various components of a computer system and how they interact with an operating system; describe the differences between a 32-bit and 64-bit operating system; explain the different types of operating systems and the major ones in use today; discuss the importance and use of threads and processes in an operating system; describe concurrency; explain the difference between a thread and a process; discuss context switching and how it is used in an operating system; describe synchronization; explain a race condition; discuss interprocess communication; describe how semaphores can be used in an operating system; discuss three of the classic synchronization problems; explain the alternatives to semaphores; discuss CPU scheduling and its relevance to operating systems; explain the general goals of CPU scheduling; describe the differences between pre-emptive and non-preemptive scheduling; discuss four CPU scheduling algorithms; explain what deadlock is in relation to operating systems; discuss deadlock prevention, avoidance, and their differences; describe deadlock detection and recovery; explain the memory hierarchy; discuss how the operating system interacts with memory; describe how virtual memory works; discuss three algorithms for dynamic memory allocation; explain methods of memory access; describe paging and page replacement algorithms; describe a file system and its purpose; discuss various file allocation methods; explain disk allocation and associated algorithms; discuss types of security threats; describe the various types of malware; explain basic security techniques; explain basic networking principles; discuss protocols and how they are used; explain reference models, particularly TCP/IP and OSI.

6.826 provides an introduction to the basic principles of computer systems, with emphasis on the use of rigorous techniques as an aid to understanding and building modern computing systems. Particular attention is paid to concurrent and distributed systems. Topics covered include: specification and verification, concurrent algorithms, synchronization, naming, networking, replication techniques (including distributed cache management), and principles and algorithms for achieving reliability.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Microbial communities strongly affect biogeochemical cycles, ecosystems, and human health. Although studying microbial functions in these incredibly diverse communities was once difficult, new approaches are making it easier. One such approach, metaproteomics, enables scientists to study changes in the expression of microbial proteins over space and time and provides important insights into gene-protein links and microbial functions. The new Metaproteomics Initiative seeks to establish a central hub for the discussion, standardization, and improvement of metaproteomics methods in order to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and advancement of this relatively new field of microbiome research. This initiative, sponsored by the European Proteomics Association, will feature a website, a social media presence, and various platforms and resources for education and communication..."
