This is the source code used to generate HDR images from LDR images, all the tone operators used to map back from HDR to LDR space, and the test code.
This module provides examples of the elementary circuit elements; the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor, which provide linear relationships between voltage and current.
Systems manipulate signals. There are a few simple systems which will perform simple functions upon signals. Examples include amplification (or attenuation), time-reversal, delay, and differentiation/integration.
This is a simple activity to visualize a communication system. In order to do this the students encode, decode, transmit, receive and store messages. They will use a code sheet and flashlight for this process. They will also maintain a storage sheet from which they can retrieve information as and when it is required.
An introduction to the fundamental model of communication, from the generation of the signal at the source through a noisy channel to reception of the signal at the sink.
This chapter explains what a lawmaker does during the Intrusion stage of the process making a law. This is one of the three stages in the process. Intrusion gives rise to a legal relationship between a Lawmaker and a Source.
asks students to research and analyze the role of water in daily life and create symbols to represent their findings. The students' symbols are then arranged to create a contemporary work of art.
helps students examine the connections between water and disease in four West African countries and then devise a strategy to fight one water-borne illness in rural Africa.
In this scenario-based activity, students design ways to either clean a water source or find a new water source, depending on given hypothetical family scenarios. They act as engineers to draw and write about what they could do to provide water to a community facing a water crisis. They also learn the basic steps of the engineering design process.
The new training handbook: "ict@innovation: Free your IT-Business in Africa!"
A starting point for new businesses and Open Source in Africa:
The ict@innovation programme is happy to announce the launch of the handbook: "ict@innovation: Free your IT-Business in Africa!" and its release for free download. The handbook is a compilation of open training materials and includes numerous successful business models suited to the African context are presented and explained, such as Software Selection, Software Installation, FOSS Training, Maintenance and Support, Software / Systems Migration, Consultancy, Software Localization and Internalization, FOSS Customization as well as Technical / Legal Certification. Eight in-depth case studies of successful African IT-businesses give concrete avenues for Free and Open Source business models that work in Africa. Other key sections focus on Knowledge and Skills for FOSS Entrepreneurs such as communication and business skills and on FOSS Training as a Business in Africa.
The training handbook has been collaboratively developed by more than 50 FOSS experts from Africa and beyond, who have contributed their expertise and helped put together this wealth of knowledge. The United Nations University Maastricht Economic and Social Research and training centre on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) and the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (AITI-KACE) have been overseeing this process and in charge of the thematic guidance and organisation. The hanbook has been developed as part of the initiative ict@innovation, a partnership of FOSSFA (Free Software and Open Source Foundation for Africa) and InWEnt - Capacity Building International of Germany, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
