Peerdal: 10/2012

http://peerdal.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

October 30, 2012. Lessons learned at UWaterloo (2nd part): research organization. Here is the second post about my experience at University of Waterloo. After the ode to the co-operation education program. Here is another positive observation related to research organization. All in one, I have the feeling that the time spent in meetings by researchers in North-America is four times less than their European counterparts. I wish statistics could support this claim. Why so? I found this research organizati...

Peerdal: The misconceptions behind the French FUN-MOOC portal

http://peerdal.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-misconceptions-behind-french-fun.html

October 8, 2014. The misconceptions behind the French FUN-MOOC portal. It is frequent that bloggers start their controversial posts with a disclaimer about how their personal opinion is not necessarily endorsed by their employers. In the case of this post, it is one step further: I am afraid that my opinion is the opposite of my employers' one. And a contribution to two successful. This public (state-funded) project emerges although some private French start-ups (e.g. OpenClassrooms. Days in September 20...

The Mostly Color Channel: Discovery of pentaquarks at the LHC

http://www.mostlycolor.ch/2015/07/discovery-of-pentaquarks-at-lhc.html

The Mostly Color Channel. Musings — mostly about color art, science, and technology. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Discovery of pentaquarks at the LHC. This illustration by Daniel Dominguez shows the possible layout of the quarks in a pentaquark particle. The five quarks might be tightly bound (left). They might also be assembled into a meson (one quark and one antiquark) and a baryon (three quarks), weakly bound together—a bit like two atoms combining to form a molecule:. 724 authors) press release.

The Mostly Color Channel: colored blocks in Beamer

http://www.mostlycolor.ch/2013/10/colored-blocks-in-beamer.html

The Mostly Color Channel. Musings — mostly about color art, science, and technology. Friday, October 18, 2013. Colored blocks in Beamer. In the second part the Beamer manual gives in detail all the information on how to create a new template, but this is too much when you just need a small feature like colored blocks. This is something that usually does not occur in technical presentations, where there already is a specialized block machinery for theorems, examples, etc. Means 20% green with 80% black.

Does the web need yet another. Post on making your own light tent? There are certainly other good options out there. But using just paper and binder clips it's possible to make an even cheaper and even simpler light tent. And if for some reason you get beet. Juice on it, it can be recycled.

The Mostly Color Channel: What can be addressed vs what can be seen

http://www.mostlycolor.ch/2015/07/what-can-be-addressed-vs-what-can-be.html

The Mostly Color Channel. Musings — mostly about color art, science, and technology. Friday, July 17, 2015. What can be addressed vs what can be seen. Remember the early days of color in consumer PCs? We color scientists cringed at this claim and tried to explain to the marketeers that the human visual system can only discriminate 4 to 7 million colors, consequently the marketing collaterals should use the adjective addressable: the product can address 16,777,216 colors. For example, my home NAS. How can...

The Mostly Color Channel. Musings — mostly about color art, science, and technology. Monday, February 23, 2015. Completing a wardrobe with Kokko. Robert Hunt likes to start his color science lessons with the problem of completing a wardrobe. He starts with some observations:. If you want to buy a skirt or a pair of slacks to match a jacket, you cannot match the color by memory — you have to take the jacket with you. You always get the opinion of your companion or the store clerk. By using the camera on a...

The Mostly Color Channel: Multilayer networks

http://www.mostlycolor.ch/2015/04/multilayer-networks.html

The Mostly Color Channel. Musings — mostly about color art, science, and technology. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Back in February 1996, I was given a week to write a blurb on what a company could do in terms of technology to monetize the freshly commercialized Internet. You can make money by making people more efficient, which can be achieved by allowing them to do their own work, or by allowing them to do new more valuable work. My employer lost interest and published the blurb. On the following page)&#4...
