Data Science Seminar: Generic Big Data Processing for Advancing Situation Awareness and Decision-Support

The generation of heterogeneous big data sources with ever increasing volumes, velocities and veracities over the he last few years has inspired the data science and research community to address the challenge of extracting knowledge form big data. Such a wealth of generated data across the board can be intelligently exploited to advance our knowledge about our environment, public health, critical infrastructure and security. In recent years we have developed generic approaches to process such big data at multiple levels for advancing decision-support. It specifically concerns data processing with semantic harmonisation, low level fusion, analytics, knowledge modelling with high level fusion and reasoning. Such approaches will be introduced and presented in context of the TRIDEC project results on critical oil and gas industry drilling operations and also the ongoing large eVacuate project on critical crowd behaviour detection in confined spaces.

Data Science Seminar: The data science revolution in Physics and Astronomy

Abstract Heading into the 2020s, Physics and Astronomy are undergoing experimental revolutions that will reshape our picture of the fabric of the Universe. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle physics project in the world, produces 30 petabytes of data annually that need to be sifted through, analysed, and modelled. In astrophysics, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be taking a high-resolution image of the full sky every 3 days, leading to data rates of 30 terabytes per night over ten years. These experiments endeavour to answer the question why 96% of the content of the universe currently elude our physical understanding. Both the LHC and LSST share the 5-dimensional nature of their data, with position, energy and time being the fundamental axes. This talk will present an overview of the experiments and data that is gathered, and outlines the challenges in extracting information. Common strategies employed are very similar to industrial data! Science problems (e.g., data filtering, machine learning, statistical interpretation) and provide a seed for exchange of knowledge between academia and industry. Speaker Biography Professor Mark Sullivan Mark Sullivan is a Professor of Astrophysics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Mark completed his PhD at Cambridge, and following postdoctoral study in Durham, Toronto and Oxford, now leads a research group at Southampton studying dark energy using exploding stars called "type Ia supernovae". Mark has many years' experience of research that involves repeatedly imaging the night sky to track the arrival of transient objects, involving significant challenges in data handling, processing, classification and analysis.

@_I-T-A: Rechnereinsatz im klassischen Seminar

Am Ostasienzentrum der Technischen Universität Dresden wurden Fördermittel aus dem BMBF-Programm „Neue Medien in der Bildung“ dazu genutzt, E-Learning im Rahmen der klassischen Seminar-Situation zu erproben. Eingesetzt wurden Kurswebseiten, Nachrichtenforen und Selbstlernmodule. Gesucht wurde eine Antwort auf die Frage, ob sich die klassischen geisteswissenschaftlichen Lernziele damit besser erreichen lassen als ohne den Einsatz der technischen Hilfsmittel. Herausgekommen ist das ITA-Konzept. Es empfiehlt den Einsatz von Rechnern in geisteswissenschaftlichen Lehrveranstaltungen vor allem in drei Bereichen: Information, Training und Austausch.(DIPF/Orig.)

M-Learning im Notebook-Seminar

Das Notebook-Seminar stellte ein M-Learning-Szenario dar, welches durch die Integration des Notebooks in die Lehre eine Verbesserung derselben erwirken soll. Methodischer Schwerpunkt ist das projektorientierte Lernen, welches neben der Vermittlung von Fachinhalten zum Ziel hat, auch fachübergreifende Kompetenzen zu vermitteln. Auf Basis einer ein Semester umfassenden Projektaufgabe werden bestimmte Lernhandlungen von den Studierenden absolviert. Diese Lernhandlungen fassen bestimmte Lernziele, die in Fach-, Methoden und Sozialkompetenz aufgeteilt sind. Das Paper beleuchtet Aspekte des M-Learnings und konzipiert vor diesem Hintergrund das Notebook-Seminar. Danach wird das in die Praxis umgesetzte Konzept vorgestellt und die gemachten Erfahrungen, sowie die Ergebnisse der Evaluation diskutiert.(DIPF/Orig.)

Vom Seminar zur Lerneinheit – und zurück. Der abgestimmte Prozess zur Konzeption und Produktion von interaktiven Lernmaterialien als nachhaltige Erweiterung des Studienangebots an Hochschulen

Im Rahmen des BMBF-Leitprojektes „Virtuelle Fachhochschule“ werden in einem interdisziplinären Team an der TFH Berlin 12 Online-Studienmodule für die Bachelor-Studiengänge Medieninformatik und Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen produziert. Unter der Leitung langjährig in der Lehre erfahrener Professorinnen und Professoren wurden mediendidaktisch anspruchsvolle Online-Kurse entwickelt. Das didaktische Design war neben der Produktentwicklung konsequent auf die Entwicklung eines effizienten Produktionsprozesses für multimediales Lernmaterial ausgerichtet. Das Online-Lernmaterial ist so modular aufgebaut, dass Teile daraus in die Präsenzlehre integrierbar sind. Der mehrstufige, abgestimmte Produktionsprozess kann für die kostengünstige Erstellung von Online-Material in anderen Fächern genutzt werden. Das Verfahren ist darüber hinaus erweiterbar. Diese Entwicklung leistet einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Integration von Online- Lehr- und Lernangeboten im Hochschulbereich.(DIPF/Orig.)

“English Language Learning Strategies used by the Foreign Language Department Seminar Students Year 2006 with Either Above Eight Grade or Below it Obtained in Their Studies in the Basic Skills Area.

Nowadays language communication plays an important role in the world. For the technological explosion in the 20th century, the electronic mass media collapsed space and time barriers in human communication, enabling people to interact and live on a global scale. In this sense, the earth has been turned into a village by the electronic mass media. It not only changes the distance between countries, societies, but also shortens it between people. It means that the technological advancement makes the earth become a village. Since the distance between people is shortened, language communication becomes more important than before. To enhance language abilities, people can apply many different types of language learning strategies according to the learning styles that they have in order to learn the target language. In the Foreign Language Department of University of El Salvador Seminar students year 2006 apply different language learning strategies which make some of them get a grade either above eight or below it. To understand learning strategies, people can go back to basic term, strategy. This word comes from the ancient Greek term strategia meaning generalship or the art of war. A different, but related, word is tactics, which are tools to achieve the success of strategies. The two expressions share some basic implied characteristics: planning, competition, conscious manipulation, and movement toward a goal.

Scoping review of adherence promotion theories in pelvic floor muscle training : 2011 ics state-of-the-science seminar research paper I of IV

Aims This paper, the first of four emanating from the International Continence Society's 2011 State-of-the-Science Seminar on pelvic-floor-muscle training (PFMT) adherence, aimed to summarize the literature on theoretical models to promote PFMT adherence, as identified in the research, or suggested by the seminar's expert panel, and recommends future directions for clinical practice and research. Methods Existing literature on theories of health behavior were identified through a conventional subject search of electronic databases, reference-list checking, and input from the expert panel. A core eligibility criterion was that the study included a theoretical model to underpin adherence strategies used in an intervention to promote PFM training/exercise. Results A brief critique of 12 theoretical models/theories is provided and, were appropriate, their use in PFMT adherence strategies identified or examples of possible uses in future studies outlined. Conclusion A better theoretical-based understanding of interventions to promote PFMT adherence through changes in health behaviors is required. The results of this scoping review and expert opinions identified several promising models. Future research should explicitly map the theories behind interventions that are thought to improve adherence in various populations (e.g., perinatal women to prevent or lessen urinary incontinence). In addition, identified behavioral theories applied to PFMT require a process whereby their impact can be evaluated.
