This site makes finding the major and finer structures of the brain easy. The intuitive layout lets the user go through the brain, slice by slice, to reveal actual MRI data and drawn pictures that are clearly labeled to indicate surface and subcortical structures. You can zoom in on actual microscope pictures to reveal cells in the brain and see detailed pictures of how they connect. The detailed pictures use horizontal axis (top of brain to bottom), coronal axis (front to back), and sagittal axis (side to side) scans so that you are able to develop a picture of a three dimensional map of the human brain, in your mind. One of the hardest things to picture when I first began researching about the anatomy of the human brain, was picturing where all the subcortical structures were positioned in relation to each other. By using the many informative anatomical and chemical maps, I was able to clear up the issues I had had with trying to visualize a three dimensional model. This source is very reliable, as it uses real images for the slices you see as you navigate the brain. This source also comes from the University Institut für Anatomie, so the data was observed first hand there, making it reliable. I will be using this information that I have gathered to add to my brain portfolio document, and will be a useful tool if I decide to make a three dimensional model of the brain.

This internet archive of a very informative book on the human body provided further insight to contextualized material on the inner brain structures. Many sites have in-depth information that is very thorough, but sometimes it can be a bit too much. This book progresses in a logical order, covering all topics of the human body. The information on the brain is great for putting everything in place from other sites. Since the information in the book is in context, I found it useful to match the more specialized information I had acquired from other sources to the book, which helped me understand how it connects to the other parts of the brain. An example of this is when I was researching the basal ganglia and limbic system. The two systems are very closely connected, and while I knew about the separate systems, it was hard to visualize how they fit together. This book showed how they were joined together, which was helpful even when I knew a lot about the separate systems, because it was hard to understand them as a whole working component.

I got to go and visit this shop today in East Middleburry which was a very good and quick experience. If you need any kind of help visit this site and voila. For an exaple of the things they can help you with is Welding & Restoration, Structural Jacking and Demolition, and also Arts & Crafts Testimonial + more.

This is about the training structure for Leave No Trace education. It describes the core principles of LNT and why they are important.

This site told me more about the cortex. The differences in how the depth of the cortex changes in different parts of the brain is explained, as its role changes as the white fibers below it have different input locations depending on where in the brain you observe. The different neural layering patterns are shown with colored images, and the differences in how the neurons are connected in varying parts of the brain are also shown. The article also explains the advantages of having gyri in the brain, and how the general structure of the cortex is set us so as to maximize space efficiency. Compared to a mouse brain, which is smooth and does not have any sulci, it makes clear how these oscillating structures provide higher levels of cortical processing. This source also gives insight to how the cortex works, and proved to be of use when I was creating my brain portfolio.

This is the work of Japanese researcher Mr. Masaru Emoto. It shows his work, that proves, sounds and thoughts affect the monocular structure of water.

Biomimicry is how we design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes

The "Wolf Almanac" is a tremendous source, as it covers everything there is to know about all wolves. A particular part of the book I focused on was the chapter about wolf behavior and activities. The section covers the structure of a wolf pack, and mentions several examples of studied wolf packs in Alaska's Denali National Park. The section extensively covers the average size of a wolf pack as well as the different roles wolves have within the pack, and how those roles are communicated.The book is well illustrated by beautiful photos and sites notable wolf biologists such as John Theberge. It was very useful in my research and helped to give me a great preliminary understanding of wolf behavior.

This book is very much a wildlife handbook. It is short and succinct. The section that was beneficial to my research about pack structure held very little new information, but one thing stood out. A paragraph talked about the size of a wolf pack, and how it is limited because if the pack is too large wolves can become distant from each other emotionally. Without strong emotional closeness among all wolves in the pack, a pack does not function properly. This was very helpful as it answered an important question I have been thinking about: why don't wolves just run in large herds and maximize the amount of food that they can hunt. A very good resource if even for that small amount of information.

This website is a very good resource for people who aren't sure how they want to structure a story. It gives you many tips and explanations for why you need to do that specific thing. In the tips it gives you a map for how a story should be written and how to do it effectively.

This is definitely going to be useful during NaNoWriMo. Is anyone else taking on NaNoWriMo?

This is a site that is supposed to help people learn about the structure of the atom. It is also supposed to clear up any misconceptions about how the atom is organized and what it is made up of. This article talks about the particles that make up the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and how electrons really orbit the an atom. This site is all about atoms and how the forces within them work, allowing them to bond together. I would recommend this site to anyone who wants to learn more about atoms, it has more information than we go into in class, so it would be helpful to anyone who wants to do extra work.

I find it difficult to maintain 1000°C temperatures to truly relax and align the crystalline structures in the steel. So I decided that an electric heat treating oven is the way to go. I have no intention of spending $1000 on an off-the-shelf unit

Summarize: This is a music theory website which I used for a music composition course that I was taking. Common chord progressions was just one of the lessons from the website that I used. In this article that I used the main points were major and minor chord progressions. The purpose of this article is to show what chords most often progress from one chord to the next and the different chords that progress in a major vs. minor key. The theory website has many topics ranging from the basics: dotted rhythms to harder more complex things: cadences and neapolitan chords. They are all very nicely ordered and categorized if you have any specific things that you need to know about. Once you have selected a topic of interest a paragraph appears on the screen. There are two arrows at the bottom that allow the reader to read the page a sentence at a time along with the model that explains what you are reading. It is almost like a PowerPoint but you control the speed at which it moves. Review and access: This is a useful source, because the website explains everything in a clear and easy to understand way. There are pictures to guide your learning. When using other resources I find that they are hard to follow because of their advanced musical terms. Also, the models on other websites often go with one part of the paragraphs and not the other so it gets confusing. The information on this site is reliable, because we used it in class to learn some of the musical terms in each lesson. I would recommend anyone who wants, needs or just likes learning about music theory to use this website as a tool. Reflect: This source was super helpful for me and I accessed it many times throughout my composition course when I was confused on a certain topic, word or structure of song. This site helped me direct my learning because it is very organized and I could find the exact topic that I was looking for. You can use this source as a reference to terms or musical topics, or use it as notes

This is the arch I want to build for pathways

Why? How can you show the evolution of this arch and why it is structured the way its?

Starting a deer farm or ranch requires energy, innovation and much time spent in research. Once you have considered your options and decided what is right for you, visit established operations and talk to other deer owners who are raising the type of deer you are interested in. I just read a piece on the North American Deer Farmers Association or NADeFA website about general information on deer farming. The main points of this article are knowing the regulations, start up capital, plan, farm layout, fencing, building pens, nutrition, feeding program, herd structure, handling, health care, buying stock, and transportation. The purpose of this site is to give the average person who wants to know about deer farming or a someone who is new to deer farming, the general information needed to deer farm. Some topics or issues covered in this article were Land to live stock ratios, laws that someone would need to know, how to treat illnesses, and how to prepare the land for deer. This article is about the general information needed to deer farm. This source is very useful because of all the solid factual information. Compared to other sites I have used, this provides a good amount of writing and great details about each topic stated throughout this article. This information comes from a good reliable source used by deer farmers all throughout the us to talk with other farmers and to get information from the site itself. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone who wants to learn about deer farming. This site helped me learn a lot about deer farming and the general information you need to know to deer farm. This information made me realize that I want to learn a lot more about deer farming and possibly consider it as future a career. Someone could use this site/article for advice when starting a new deer farm or if someone just wants to know about deer farming in general. This article has made me want to focus one of my learning topics on deer farming.

This was a extremely helpful source that explained the differences of the three cortical fibers. Though I knew about the roles that white fibers fulfilled, it was clarifying to read this source on the differences among the specific fibers. The commissural fibers connect the two hemispheres of the brain. Association fibers connect different gyri together. Since gyri gyrate in an up and down fashion, the association fibers create a U-shape, so they are sometimes called U-fibers. Projection fibers connect the cortex to the lower brain and brainstem. This article was extremely helpful, as parts of the basal ganglia and limbic systems had been confusing me. In particular the corpus callosum and fornix in these systems had been confusing me as to what they did. This source explained that they just bus the information, and do not have a complicated internal structure, like many of the nuclei in that region. This really helped me understand these two systems, and the roles that each component plays within them.

This book is great at teaching both script and the foundation of Nepali language. It explore sentence structure, basic vocabulary, and all the essentials for traveling through Nepal. I thought it was a great supplement to daily language lessons

This site helped me get the basic understanding of the brain, before I got into more specific study. It covers a wide variety of topics, including general descriptions of the cortex and inner brain. The different parts of the brain are labeled, and neurotransmitters are briefly explained to give the reader a general sense of the brain. The article helped me on the right track when researching the inner brain and its structures, as it summarized the basal ganglia and limbic systems. It explains that the basal ganglia is responsible for conscious movements, and the limbic system controls memory and emotion. This site is reliable because it is a government site that takes data straight from Health and Human Services, which is well known for its great research. This site was used when I made my brain portfolio, which is the compilation of research I have done in an organized document.

This article cleared up the confusion I had revolving around subcortical fibers. I was unclear on where the white matter was in the brain, what it did, and other information about it. This PDF answered my questions by explaining the roles of the white matter in the brain. It explains that the white matter is right under the gray matter of the cortices of the brain, and transfers information to and from the cortex, to other parts of the brain. It also explains the proportion of the different white matter fibers to each other, which play different roles. The long fibers that go across the brain are long, but there are not as many of them. The shorter fibers that connect closer distances are much shorter, but there are many more of them. This source was used in my brain portfolio, and gave me a generally clearer understanding of the structure that is directly below the cortex.
