It must be readable from far away and close-up, attract curiosity, be informative and communicate an idea. A poster is a large 2-dimensional surface with a fas- cinating illusion of space and perspective. Its design, depending on the content, has to comply with many factors such as the concept, an existing corporate identity, recognizability, readability originality, and of course artistic expression. But, how can a poster function under all these demands? What is design quality? What demands are put on the designer? Does the informa- tional content, on the one hand, and the medium of print, on the other hand, require a different approach to finding design solutions? How many design possibilities are there and which is the right one? How do you achieve an optimal result? Can the design process in turn have an influence on the content message? In the workshop we will analyze and question the approach- es necessary for a dynamic, contextually correct and aesthetically successful poster design. -
The Impact of the Bologna Declaration on Engineering Education in Europe
The Impact of the Bologna Declaration on Engineering Education in Europe - the Result of a Survey Among SEFI National Representatives and Other Members (As of June 15, 2004) 1. Has the system of Engineering Education in your country changed as a consequence of the Declaration or are such reforms being planned? In particular, has it been decided to introduce a two-cycle system (a "Bachelor/Master system") in Engineering? Austria The University Act 2002 opened the possibility to introduce Bachelor/Master for existing programmes. New curricula have to introduce Ba/Ma. Belgium Yes Dutchspeaking Belgium Yes, the Ministry of Education has introduced a new law in March 2004. Frenchspeaking Czech republic Yes, by decision of the Ministry of Education. Only a few exceptions are tolerated. Denmark Yes the Ministry of Education is changing the system – though with a lot of problems and double solutions between the old and the new system In the past we had a 3½-4½ year program and a 5 year program. Now we do have a 3½-4½ year program (diplomingeniør = professionsbachelor ) and a 3 +2 program (bachelor and master (civilingeniør)) Estonia Yes. Though, in Civil Engineering and Architecture, there are integrated 5-year programmes; the graduates get either Master degree or a Diploma that is officially recognised as a Master level document. Finland Reforms are under way. From autumn 2005 there will be in all university and "Fachhochschule" systems a two-tier system. Of course some areas have exceptions like medical faculty. France Formally, no. As a consequence of the Declaration a higher education reform (decrees published in April 2002) has changed the French University scheme of studies with the introduction of the “LMD” structure (Licence-Master-Doctorat, corresponding to 3-5-8 years of study). -

How Interaction Design for Ceramics Exhibition Will Help Audiences to Have a Better Experience in Museums
How interaction design for ceramics exhibition will help audiences to have a better experience in museums. A thesis submitted to the Graduate School College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in the School of Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Fei Xie July 24, 2013 B.E., Automation School, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), P. R. China, 2010 Committee: Craig M. Vogel, MID Chair Katie Parker, MFA Member Renee Seward, MGD Member Abstract The common ways of offering information and educating visitors in museums are providing audio, interpretive signs and video displays. However, non-interactive ways don’t work well at engaging audiences. Artifacts in most museums are not allowed to be touched by visitors. They are usually put into glass display cabinets for protection. This thesis focuses on identify issues of user experience design in museums and define interactive product requirements for museum exhibitions as a harmonious whole system in order to provide audiences exciting experiences during visiting. Among archaeological artifacts, ceramics play an important role in understanding a region’s culture and technology. However, for audiences from a different cultural background, it is hard to understand when there is a lack of contextual information. There are also lots of stories behind ceramics, which are worth detailed explanations. However, only a limited amount of information can be presented to audiences in the museums. For that reason, this thesis uses ceramics as an entry point and discusses how to present knowledge of exhibition subject and artifacts information to audiences by using interaction designs. -

HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What Is the Truth? Gary Null, Phd December 3, 2012
HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What is the Truth? Gary Null, PhD December 3, 2012 In the May 4, 1984 issue of the prestigious journal Science, one of the most important research papers of the last quarter century was published. “Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS” would rapidly become the medical Magna Carta for the entire gold rush to develop diagnostic methods to identify the presence of HIV in human blood and to invent pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines in a global war against AIDS. This paper, along with three others published in the same issue of Science, was written by Dr. Robert Gallo, then head of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology (LTCB) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, and his lead researcher Dr. Mikulas Popovic. To this day, this article continues to document the most cited research to prove the HIV hypothesis in scientific papers and places like the nation’s Centers of Disease Control (CDC) website. For virologists, molecular biologists and other infectious disease researchers, particularly those tied to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and the national medical and health institutions, the news of Gallo’s discovery was manna rained down from heaven. All research into other possible causes for the AIDS crisis ended abruptly. As soon as the winds shifted away from earlier efforts to find the cause of AIDS —people’s lifestyles, immune suppressing illicit drug use and other health risks and illnesses that adversely affect the body’s immune system — to that of a single new virus, the case was closed. -
Higher Education for Science and Engineering
Appendix C. — Science and Engineering Graduate Study and Credentials in Other Nations The U.S. system of university-based graduate education, combining research and training, is admired throughout the world for the quality of researchers it produces. However, it is not the only model for training and certification of researchers. Other nations take different approaches to training graduate-level scientists and engineers for academic and industry research and development (R&D), reflecting major social, administrative, legislative, and economic differences in university systems, in where and how R&D is conducted and funded, and where scientists and engineers are employed in . that country.1 Higher education in other countries generally is more science- and engineering-intensive, particularly in Japan, Soviet Union, and West Germany. There is no “best” model for graduate education. The U.S. university system is decentralized, with a large high-quality private sector; many other nations have much more centralized systems. Most developed countries have reformed university education in the past decade, often modeling U.S. successes. These reforms have been driven and accompanied by a move to mass higher education, problems of overexpansion in the face of declining young populations, worries about quality, and retrenching in tight budgets. Japan. 2 Although Japan awards more science and engineering doctorates on a per capita basis than does the United States, far fewer of these are obtained through formal university graduate studies. Students follow two paths to the doctorate. Students may earn a “course doctorate” (katei hakushi) in one of the major universities, similar to the United States, with courses, 5 years or so of research, and an oral defense of the dissertation.
