It has been shown that teletherapy, defined as therapy delivered remotely with the use of a phone or computer system, may be a viable option to replace in-person therapy in situations where in-person therapy is not possible. Sponsored by the User Experience and Decision Making (UXDM) lab at WPI, this IQP is part of a larger project to address the need for mental health therapy in situations where patients do not have access to traditional in-person care.

  • Sustaining Software Innovation from the Client to the Web Working Paper
    Principles that Matter: Sustaining Software Innovation from the Client to the Web Marco Iansiti Working Paper 09-142 Copyright © 2009 by Marco Iansiti Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Principles that Matter: Sustaining Software Innovation 1 from the Client to the Web Marco Iansiti David Sarnoff Professor of Business Administration Director of Research Harvard Business School Boston, MA 02163 June 15, 2009 1 The early work for this paper was based on a project funded by Microsoft Corporation. The author has consulted for a variety of companies in the information technology sector. The author would like to acknowledge Greg Richards and Robert Bock from Keystone Strategy LLC for invaluable suggestions. 1. Overview The information technology industry forms an ecosystem that consists of thousands of companies producing a vast array of interconnected products and services for consumers and businesses. This ecosystem was valued at more than $3 Trillion in 2008.2 More so than in any other industry, unique opportunities for new technology products and services stem from the ability of IT businesses to build new offerings in combination with existing technologies. This creates an unusual degree of interdependence among information technology products and services and, as a result, unique opportunities exist to encourage competition and innovation. In the growing ecosystem of companies that provide software services delivered via the internet - or “cloud computing” - the opportunities and risks are compounded by a significant increase in interdependence between products and services.

    Windows 7's Desktop Slideshow Themes Support for themes has been extended in Windows 7. In addition to setting the colors of the window chrome, desktop background, desktop icons, mouse pointers and sound schemes, themes in Windows 7 include desktop slideshow settings. A new control panel interface, accessible through the "Personalize" context menu item on the desktop, has been introduced which provides the ability to customize and switch between themes, as well as download more themes from Microsoft's web site. A number of sound schemes are included, each associated with an included theme: Afternoon, Calligraphy, Characters, Cityscape, Delta, Festival, Garden, Heritage, Landscape, Quirky, Raga, Savanna, and Sonata. Additional theme packs are available as free downloads from Microsoft's web site. Desktop Slideshow Windows 7 includes a desktop slideshow that changes the desktop background in a designated amount of time with a smooth fading transition. This feature supports pre-downloaded sets of wallpapers and also supports photo RSS feed. Gadgets Windows Vista introduced Gadgets and a sidebar which provides the ability to anchor Gadgets to the side of the user's desktop. In Windows 7, the sidebar has been removed, while gadgets can still be placed on the desktop. Windows 7 adds a Windows Media Center gadget to the default collection while removing the Contacts and Notes gadgets. Managing gadgets is more closely integrated with Windows Explorer, but the gadgets themselves continue to operate in a separate sidebar.exe process.The Desktop context menu includes a new "Gadgets" menu option to access the gadget gallery, and a "View" sub-menu option to show or hide gadgets.

  • Free Tools from Microsoft: This Is a List of More Free Tools from Microsoft That Many Teachers Have Found Useful
    Free Software and Tools from Microsoft Have the following free software installed on your laptop: Before you come to the Institute in November, install these six pieces of software and play around with each of them. You should have a basic understanding of each of these. You will want to use at least one of these for your Learning Excursion project. 1. AutoCollage (from Partners in Learning) http://us.partnersinlearningnetwork.com/Resources/Pages/AutoCollage.aspx Photo collages celebrate important events and themes in our lives. Pick a folder, press a button, and in a few minutes AutoCollage presents you with a unique memento to print or email to your family and friends. 2. Photosynth http://photosynth.net/create.aspx Photosynth takes your photos, mashes them together and recreates a 3D scene out of them that anyone can view and move around in. Different than static photos and video, Photosynth allows you to explore details of places, objects, and events unlike any other media. You can’t stop video, move around and zoom in to check out the smallest details, but with Photosynth you can. And you can’t look at a photo gallery and immediately see the spatial relation between the photos, but with Photosynth you can! 3. Image Composite Editor http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ice/ Microsoft Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. Given a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location, the application creates a high-resolution panorama that seamlessly combines the original images.

    03032021 Ignite Scott Guthrie Scott Guthrie: Microsoft Ignite 2021 March 3, 2021 MERRIE WILLIAMSON: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, welcome to Day 2 of Ignite. We’re excited to have you join us for the Microsoft Cloud Unplugged session with Scott Guthrie. May name is Merrie Williamson. I am the Vice President of Azure Apps and Infrastructure. I spend my days talking to customers and partners, and today I get to talk to Scott. Hi, Scott, good morning. SCOTT GUTHRIE: Thanks Mary. I’m excited to be here too. I’m really looking forward to the conversation. MERRIE WILLIAMSON: Today, we’re going to focus, Scott, on conversations on Microsoft’s cloud, the investments that we’re making, the strategy behind our comprehensive platform, and a couple of questions from the audience. We’ll also have a lightning round of Q&A at the end, so be prepared. How does that sound, Scott? Are you ready? SCOTT GUTHRIE: That sounds great. Let’s get started. MERRIE WILLIAMSON: All right, my first question is around cloud. Given Ignite, our attendees yesterday heard Satya talk about the future of computing. We’d love to hear your point of view on Microsoft’s cloud approach and the value it brings to our customers. SCOTT GUTHRIE: Yeah, I mean, I think we’re living in an interesting time right now, where, we’re all going through a pandemic, and all of our businesses are being stretched in new ways. I think every company and every organization is trying to figure out how do we reinvent ourselves? How do we connect with our customers better? How do we do business differently? We see cloud is kind of a key ingredient to enable that type of transformation for organizations.

Collier Collier Research and Development Corporation 45 Diamond Hill Road Hampton, Virginia 23666-6016 Abstract The feasibility of adding viscoelasticity and the Generalized Method of Cells (GMC) for micro-mechanical viscoelastic behavior into the commercial HyperSizer structural analysis and optimization code was investigated. The viscoelasticity methodology was developed in four steps. First, a simplified algorithm was devised to test the iterative time stepping method for simple 1-D multiple ply structures. Second, GMC code was made into a callable subroutine and incorporated into the 1-D code to test the accuracy and usability of the code. Third, the viscoelastic time-stepping and iterative scheme was incorporated into HyperSizer for homogeneous, isotropie viscoelastic materials. Finally, the GMC was included in a version of HyperSizer. MS Windows executable files implementing each of these steps is delivered with this report, as well as source code.
