Introduction
JWSchmidt did the Good Yeoman Service of starting the development of Thought 5501.01:Cognition, for which Dionysios of the Wikiversity Institute for Thought was most grateful.

When Dionysios expressed his gratitude, JWSchmidt responded that he was not sure how Dionysios wanted to develop Thought 5501.01, and Dionysios replied that he "had no particular plan or desire as to how Thought 5501.01 or any other Wikiendeavor should develop, but rather, he is pleased to see an organic growth as the Wikisphere does that which it does."

This brought back to the fevered imagination of Dionysios: the Topic of Wikiendeavor, a constant concern of his. Hence, seeking to replace the "Wikiendeavor" Link in his reply to Schmidt with a New Page, this Page is the result.

Combining the "Wiki Page" with the "Category:Resources Page" served as the springboard from was able move forward with the Topic of Wikiendeavor.

As is generally the case with Dionysios, a learning project of this type involves an (eventual) complete rewrite of existing text in a new context.

A wiki is a type of website that allows users to easily add, remove, or otherwise edit and change the content of the webpages. The openness and ease of editing page content makes a wiki an effective tool for collaborative authoring.

Welcome
Welcome to the Wikiendeavor learning project.

If you are new to wikis, take a look at the introductory tutorial.

Project description
This Wikiversity learning project is devoted to understanding the nature of the wikiendeavor.

Project news

 * The Wikiendeavor Page was introduced w:2007:2007-07-04 (July 4, w:2007:2007).

Learning materials
Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
 * Introduction <-- New to wiki? Start here.
 * Introduction to Wiki - Introduction to wiki editing and wiki communities which aims to function as a service project for the Wikiversity community and provide learning resources that will aid new Wikiversity editors
 * Wiki 101 - A supplement to the MediaWiki Handbook geared toward Wiki editing at Wikiversity. This lesson goes into detail about Namespaces, Templates, Lists, Tables and other tools for advancing Wikiversity editors.
 * Named Colors - An alternative way to add color to pages rather than dealing with Hex, octal, RGB codes and other cryptic forms
 * Learn to learn a wiki way - using wiki technology to support learning
 * Nature of wikis - a cultural introspective of wiki communities and their workspaces

Learning materials are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

Cognition

Introduction
Participants in this learning project are encouraged to explore:
 * 1) Processes of knowing, understanding, and reasoning that involve being aware of one's thoughts and perceptions.
 * 2) What is the physical substrate of cognition?
 * 3) Can man-made machines ever become cognitively active?
 * 4) What human brain processes generate cognitive  experiences?

What is cognition?

 * 1) Cognition is a general term for all forms of knowing (e.g. attending, remembering, reasoning and understanding concepts, facts, propositions, and rules).
 * 2) Cognitive processes are how you manipulate your mental contents.
 * 3) Cognitive psychology is the study of cognition.
 * 4) Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field that extends the principles of cognitive psychology to other systems that manipulate information.

Cognition and the brain
Non-invasive brain scanning allows correlations to be made between human conscious experiences and patterns of brain activity. Studies of both visual and auditory perception allow distinctions to be made between brain regions that do and do not show activity patterns that correlate with conscious experiences. Results from study of brain lesions, application of drugs, and electromagnetic disruption of the function of specific brain regions can be interpreted in combination with results from brain scans.

Cognitive therapy
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Aristotle

Reading

 * Reflections of other minds: how primate social cognition can inform the function of mirror neurons by Derek E Lyons, Laurie R Santos, and Frank C Keil.
 * Life, chemistry and cognition: Conceiving life as knowledge embodied in sentient chemical systems might provide new insights into the nature of cognition by Ladislav Kováč.
 * 7 Functional neuroimaging: linking brain anatomy to cognition by K E Stephan.

Film Scoring/Butchering MIDI Files/Importing Starwars into GarageBand

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Importing Starwars music into GarageBand
 * style="width:100%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Sienna; background-color:Cornsilk;" |

A second example

 * Here is another example of borrowing music from Midi files.

 * For the movie "Seduced by the Dark Side!", I want pieces of music that sound like Starwars.

 * Therefore, I start with actual music from Starwars. Later, I butcher this so it not longer is anything like the original but still has the same feel.

 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #1
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 1 - Locate the file on the Internet

 * There are a large number of midi files on the Internet from Starwars.  I am interested in the music from the first Starwars movie.  The name of this file is "swtheme.midi". Use Google to find this file and download it to your computer.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

Screen shot of searching for the file
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #2
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 2 - Clean up Midi file

 * GarageBand will not accept this Midi file. Therefore, I open the midi file in QuickTime Movie Player and export it as a Midi file which cleans the file up.

 * In the picture to the right, you see the file open in QuickTime Pro's Movie Player. It is being exported as a Midi file (to a different location or with a different name.)

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

GarageBand with the midi file click on picture to enlarge
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #3
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 3 - Drag to GarageBand

 * After I cleaned up the midi file, I drag the icon of the midi file from the Finder to GarageBand.

 * Note : The Finder rarely looks to good. I cleaned it up and simplified it for this example.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #4
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 4 - importing into GarageBand

 * GarageBand creates multiple tracks during the import.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

The import feature is totally automatic click on picture to enlarge
 * style="width50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #5
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 5 - Fully imported

 * When completed, the import of the midi file looks like this.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

A track can be broken into regions click on picture to enlarge
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #6
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 6 - Locate the start of the desired theme

 * Now I need to find and then isolate the notes I am interested in. I do this because otherwise the file is too large and awkward to work with.

 * I select all the tracks and put the play marker before the notes I want. Then I select SPLIT from the menu.

 * Don't worry about accuracy. If I get extra notes included in the section, I can eliminate them later.  Better to have too many than not enough.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

All the tracks can be broken into regions click on picture to enlarge
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #7
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 7 - Locate the end of the desired theme

 * Now I need to find the end of the notes I am interested in.

 * I select all the tracks and put the play marker after the notes I want. Then I select SPLIT from the menu.

 * Don't worry about accuracy. If I get extra notes included in the section, I can eliminate them later.  Better to have too many than not enough.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

I split the tracks again after the theme click on picture to enlarge
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%" Step #8
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 8 - All the regions before I begin deleting

 * After I have broken the song into regions, I am ready to delete the unwanted regions at the beginning and the end of the midi file.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

The same tune reduced to a few chords
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Step #9
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 9 - Select the first batch of regions

 * After I have broken the song into regions, I must first select the ones I do not want so I can delete them.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

The same tune reduced to a few chords
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Step #10
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 10 - The remaining notes

 * I delete the unwanted regions at the beginning and then I must select the ones at the end I do not want so I can delete them.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

Preparing to delete more unwanted regions
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Step #11
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 11 - The remaining notes

 * After I have deleted the both unwanted regions, this is all I have left. Now it is a manageable size.

 * Now I need to move the remaining notes much closer to the beginning of the song.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

The same tune reduced to a few chords
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Step #12
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 12 - All the regions before I begin deleting

 * I see that some tracks have not notes. So I highlight the tracks and delete them.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

Select and delete the empty tracks
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Step #13
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 13 - Listen to all the tracks separately

 * This is all that I have left after trimming the unwanted notes at the beginning and end of the song and then deleting all empty tracks.

 * Next, I need to listen to each track individually to see if I like the notes or not.

 * In my example, this is all I have left.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

Some of these tracks are too noisy
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Step #14
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 14 - Isolate the good tracks

 * First I listen to the tracks separately and find the interesting tracks. Then I play just the interesting tracks with the ugly sounding tracks turned off.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

The tune sounds better with some tracks turned off.
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Step #15
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Step 15 - The good tracks

 * After importing, cropping, and thinning the Midi file, this is what I end up with.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

The tune simplified.
 * style="width:50%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

click on picture to enlarge
 * }

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; width:100%"
Authors name (Your Name) or section heading
 * style="width:60%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="2"|

The next steps

 * I have successfully reduced the Starwars music to a simple theme.

 * Now I must turn this into a film score.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

Simplify more
 * style="width:40%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

Even after all I have done, the music is not simple enough. And it is not clean enough.
 * The music is not simple enough
 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |
 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

Solve the copyright problem
 * style="width:40%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #abd5f5; background-color:#f1f5fc;" |

Because this is not classical music (old music), I cannot use the exact music. I must butcher it more to make it copyright free.
 * Not classical music

WIkiversity Quiz exporting
'Qedoc now exports quizzes to Wikiversity' --Remi 04:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Want to add two new question types
Hi, 1. I would love the Image-map question type in the feature wish list. 2. I would also love an extended response question type, where students can type in a textarea of 3-15 lines and compare their answers with feedback.

I know basic PHP and might be able to grok how to do at least #2, but I can't figure out where the quiz.php is located so I can download a copy and develop on my own server. Can anyone give me some help? Thanks!--Kenmayer (discuss • contribs) 23:43, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi there! I am curious about the picture on your user page. If the horns are branched to infinity, is it possible to pull the two ends apart? --HappyCamper 03:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC) Sorry by the too-late answer: I dont know :)--Juan Marquez 18:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Topology
I took the liberty of writing up a sketch for a first lesson on your Topology course (Introduction to Topology/Lesson 1). Let me know if that's not what you had in mind or whatever.

Artificial Consciousness

Artificial Consciousness is the study of how to design a conscious machine.

Proponents of Artificial Consciousness /(AC)/ believe it is possible to emulate/simulate consciousness in a machine, probably some form of computer. However, there is no general agreement on how this will be done.

There are two main schools of thought in Artificial Consciousness These schools tend to suggest mutually exclusive /tests/.
 * Phenomenal Consciousness: Which assumes that simulation of neural structures is the key, some say that consciousness is an epiphenomenon of the brain.
 * Functional Consciousness: Which assumes that we can model functions found by psychology

Recently a third school has started to develop. Called the Hybrid Consciousness School, it acknowledges that we do not yet have enough knowledge about the nature of the brain to do a pure Functional Approach, and should therefore simulate what we cannot directly translate into functions.

In order to fully understand this topic the student must understand a number of other disciplines and topics such as:
 * Philosophy of Mind
 * Psychology and how it relates to consciousness
 * Neuroscience and the Neural Correlates of Consciousness
 * Artificial Intelligence and how it relates to consciousness
 * Computer Science and how it relates to language formation
 * Natural Language/Linguistics and how they relate to Consciousness

Notes for Instructors:
Warning, this is an informal source, meant as an overview or survey of the currently accepted topics related to this discipline. It does not claim to be suitable for direct use in the classroom, nor does it claim to have academic excellence, if you notice that the wrong terms have been used for a sub-topic please feel free to suggest new ones in the discussion for that page, or edit it yourself.

Also this source does not contain original research; that will be covered at a separate location. think of this as an introduction to the topic.

Anthropology

Anthropology literally translates as the study of humanity, with an emphasis toward a holistic approach. It is an holistic scientific discipline concerned with all aspects of human kind: Social behaviour, languages, attitudes, values, personality, government, kinship, history, prehistory, art, illness, healing, religion, economics, technology, clothing, etc. Sociology, psychology, economics, political science, history and lots of other disciplines contribute to anthropology. This is exemplified by the four-field approach in the United States: sociocultural anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, and physical anthropology. Sociocultural anthropology examines contemporary societies and culture. Archaeology is the study of material artifacts in order to better understand history and past societies. Linguistics is the study of language and its effects on social relations and culture. Physical anthropology is the study of comparative physiology within and across the primate species.

Anthropologists tend to study large groups of people like villages, tribes, cities, and nations. One of its main tools of social analysis is participant-observation and ethnography, which has traditionally been a first-hand description of a culture, or aspects of a culture but has expanded to include multi-media and integration with other social science tools such as statistics. Applied Anthropology is the practice of anthropological knowledge to practical use. There are many places where anthropology is used to improve people's lives, such as formulating diets, easing tensions between different cultures and nationalities.

Notes and things
Actually, just by expressing interest in writing psychology related materials is enough to "enroll" you! There are no formal courses offered on Wikiversity (see this for more information) - but, at the same time, what we are trying to do is build online communities around online learning resources. So, the long term vision is that, say, someone interested in ABC would be able to search for it here, and find an active community discussing, learning, collaborating on ABC. We also have a sister project called Wikibooks which you might want to check out too.

When starting new discussions, the convention is to post at the very bottom of the page - the posts near the top are the older ones, and are not as active. On talk pages, there is a little plus sign (+) which you should see beside the "edit this page" button. If you click on it, it will create a new window for you to post messages. Try it! Have fun, and in the process of editing more and more, you'll pick up the editing conventions very quickly. Cheers! --HappyCamper 16:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Lytyr

About me
Hello! My name is Guerric. I'm a high school graduate, and am moving to Dresden, Germany in Autumn 2007 to prepare for university study. In order of proficiency, I speak English, French, Spanish, German (soon to beat my rusty Spanish) and Mandarin. My insistence on learning to read and write has greatly hindered my competence in the last.

Hallo! Ich heiße Guerric. Ich habe meine höhere Schule gebeendt, und diese Oktober ich werde zu Deutschland für meinen Studiumien gehen. Entshuldigen Sie mein schlechte Deutsch, aber ich will gerne es lernen.

Interests
I am interested by a number of fields, so you may speak to me about any of these at leisure, preferably in English. Spanish is all right for simple things, and I'd relish the chance to get at some (simple) German text. I don't really love French though, but I can lend a hand.

• Linguistics in generally, and languages (particularly English, German, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Arabic, and Polish)

• Politics (on the International, East Asian and European levels, as well as in particular countries in those regions)

• History (Old World history in general)

• Philosophy (particularly the branches dealing with morality, ethics, and existence)

• Sociology & social behaviour sciences

• Political philosophy (particularly pertaining to legitimation, and the relationship between people, politicians and the socioeconomic elite)

• Literature and poetry (from 17th century onwards, but mostly from the mid-1800s; more English, Spanish, and German then anything else)

• "Internet Culture", i.e. how people behave, and what people create, on the Internet

• Bioethics

• Any hybrid topic of two or more of the above

Hola!
At the moment, learning from Wikiversity is still somewhat difficult—materials are spread around, and frequently lacking. You're welcome to spend some time over at The School of History and The Center for Foreign Language Learning.

If you would like to contribute, there's plenty to do at the School of History (for which I do much of the coordinating), as well as with the languages—the French Department currently still needs a lot of work, and the Spanish Department is in shambles (do not be deceived by the shiny front page). "Juan" (User:Juan) has contributed most of the material, but Spanish is not his native language, and having a native speaker there may be helpful. There is currently no Catalan Department, and you may wish to start one yourself, to help others learn Catalan. English Language is also pretty quiet these days (plenty of resources, but not much Wikiversity content). If you would like to contribute more specifically to any of these resources, leave a message at my talk page, and I will give you more details.

As far as learning goes, there is some content at the Vietnamese and German language departments. The German department needs a lot of work, too, however, and so I'm not sure how far you would get there. There's some more material over at Wikibooks that might be worth checking out, however.

I hope that helps. If you need anything else, just ask! The Jade Knight 07:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Douglas R. White

I am a complexity researcher (SFI external faculty) and ethno-sociologist, or social anthropologist with broad sociological as well as comparative and ethnographic interests in human societies and global historical processes. My PhD in Anthropology with a subfield in sociological theory was done with advisor E. Adamson Hoebel, University of Minnesota, although largely through the CIC Traveling Scholars Program that allowed transfer of seminar credits from the University of Michigan, Columbia, and Northwestern.

I began teaching at the University of Pittsburgh (Anthropology, with involvement also in Sociology) in 1967, finished the PhD in 1969, and continued from 1976 to the present as a Professor at the School of Social Sciences, University of California, Irvine. I chair a research group on Social Dynamics and Complexity and lead a multicampus videoconference series in Human Social Complexity, supported by a research appointment with the Institute of Mathematical Behavioral Sciences. The years of my 1990-92 Distinguished Senior U.S. Scientist Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation were largely spent at the Institute of Ethnology, Cologne, and the Maison Suger and EHESS, Paris, and a third of my time since then was spent at various European research institutes and universities. I have worked extensively since 1999 at the Santa Fe Institute for Studies in Complexity and am currently on their external faculty. I serve on several professional societies that run the Complex Systems conferences in Europe and Internationally, taught in the 2007 Paris PIF Complexity summer school, and am a dedicated Wikipedian. I am Editor-in-Chief of the InterSci wiki and the Structure and Dynamics eJournal.

Realistic dynamical modeling, continued
The next two decades are critical for determining the survivability of city systems. This is not a simple problem of resources or potentially reversible environmental degradation. Cities now hold the majority of the world’s population (Bett. et al. PNAS 2007). A large part of urban growth is due to displacement of impoverished rural populations and to the displacement of refugees from war-torn region. Rural impoverishment and displacement to crowded urban areas are often compensated by having children as a safety net for mutual aid and needs for labor. At any one point in time there is little correlation between population density and levels of violence, but when tracked over time (Turchin & Korotayev), as populations with limited resources grow beyond capacity, regional sociopolitical violence is an observed outcome, with slow but quickening historical cycling within large politically enclosed regions (Bett.). In a world cross-cultural sample, correlations appear between increased internal conflict within polities and averaged by levels of consolidation of political hierarchy (Turchin & Korotayev). Our analysis, using the same sample of 186 societies ethnographically described at different points in time, shows significantly higher average levels of internal warfare for the 20th century (drw 07) than previous centuries. Some observers have noted that governments in the 20th century were the biggest killers of their own populations. The massive growth of urban populations and proportion urbanization occurred in the last 19th and 20th centuries. After 1962 world population growth slowed but not percent urbanization, which is slowly climbing an S-curve as it leaves a largely impoverished minority in rural areas. Mega-cities will undoubtedly continue to grow. With global warming on an unprecedented scale, questions of sustainability of city systems take on new urgency as … This poses problems not only of individual city management (Bett.), but …

Individual city populations varying over time… studied by Chandler 1987… Mike Batty 2006… Denise Pumain… highly dynamic. Is this simply urban and regional competition? (Modelski and Thompson 1996)

We begin the study of regional city systems with results from the study of urban growth. The growth of cities is constrained by availability of resources and rates of their consumption. The general growth equation (Bettencourt, Lobo, Helbing, Kühnert, & West 2006 assumes a quantity R of resources used per individual, on average, per unit time, while a resource quantity E is required to add one person to the population. An allocation of resources is expressed as $$Y=RN+E(dN/dt)$$, that is, sustenance and replacement, where $$dN/dt$$ is the growth rate. Then

$$\frac{dN(t)}{dt}=(\frac{Y_0}{E})N^\beta(t)-(\frac{R}{E})N(t). \longrightarrow (1)$$

The solution to this equation is given by

$$N(t)=\bigg[\frac{Y_0}{R}+(N^{1-\beta}(0)-\frac{Y_0}{R})exp\Big[-\frac{R}{E}{(1-\beta})t\Big]\bigg]^\dfrac{1}{1-\beta}. \to (2) $$

When $$\beta<1$$, population growth ceases at large times as a finite carrying capacity is reached, which is characteristic of biological species. In this case, “cities and, more generally, social organizations that are driven by economies of scale are destined to eventually stop growing”

Exercise: Create a distribution with (2) and grow it by (1), with $$\beta>1$$. Use Excel to fit to a power-law (Pareto), the R programs to fit to a q-exponential (Pareto II). Does the growth curve follow a power law, as claimed? (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=961842) You can also fit the power-law (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=961842) and q-exponential growth formulas. (See q-exponential, q-analog).

Where to put practice pages
Hi there. I moved your practice page to User:Douglas_R._White/Sandbox. Please keep test pages out of the main namespace, it keeps it tidy. Thanks! : ) --Remi 22:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * No, thank you, Remi, you have a great site. What did you follow to implement Latex characters for math symbols. Seems to be quite alot of perplexity about this on google-search sites.Douglas R. White 23:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula ← I think that is the page you are looking for. I found it on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a sister project of Wikiversity (which could probably be considered a much younger less mature sibling); both projects are run by the Wikimedia foundation. I hope that helps. --Remi 23:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks ← I had found Ocaml and unzipped but then passed to our tech to work the magic in unix, but now I know that was right. Did find out about Captcha from your wiki and installed it myself, solves the big problem of spammers. Feel free to sign onto our site, Remi, you help (and the synergies between them) can be invaluable and I can help with yours.

 * Also my items 3 and 4 are things I will need to work on if you know of easier ways to do them.

New question: you do not mind if I borrow from wikiversity, correct? I borrowed your be Bold and crafted my user pages using your models. --Douglas R. White 00:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC). Look at my http://intersci.ss.uci.edu/wiki/index.php/Category:InterSci_Authors and follow the be bold link to let me know.
 * In many respects it is difficult for me to fully convey how open Wikiversity is (at least the way it seems to me). Everything is licensed under the GFDL. As I understand it that basically means that you can copy anything as and use it for most any purpose you see fit as long as you provide the GFDL (or perhaps just a link) along with the material (and maybe credit too?). Please though, if you see something you like here, copy it, play with it, improve upon it, and go wild. : D Please use the structure of my userpage if it suites you well, and make it how you like it. I saw your Wiki, and it looks quite interesting. I'll have to join up... --Remi 05:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi Douglas, and welcome to Wikiversity. Your academic interests sound fascinating (though I wasn't expecting so much Maths!) - were you planning to start a resource or even community in any of these fields? If you need help, feel free to message me on my talk page anytime; alternatively, you can raise questions and discussions on the Colloquium, or through "chat". Cheers, Cormaggio talk 23:22, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I needed the maths for our InterSci/wiki (complexity sciences community and its Paris summer school lectures) and was practicing here then had my tech install maths fonts to our wiki, so I won't be usings maths much here from now one.
 * Thanks for replying - you seem to have got the wiki etiquette for replying back and forth between user talk pages (though some people prefer to keep it all on one page - ie the one where the discussion started). As for your activity, Wikiversity is here for whatever you have to give (or learn), whenever you have the time for it. If your time is limited and you want to help others teach/learn, you might want to upload some materials you already have and wish to make free. And if you want to start more participative learning projects, then Wikiversity can also serve that purpose. Let me know if/when you ever need to bounce any ideas. Thanks again (and sorry for the delayed response). Cormaggio talk 16:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Photoproject

This is the Photoproject for learning about photography of all types. Go out and take pictures! Bring them here for discussion.

Time-lapse
I want to try some time-lapse photography where a picture is taken every day. I'm worried about how to make sure that each picture is taken in the same way. Is it possible without a tripod? --JWSchmidt 03:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

 * If you want an identical frame, you really should use a tripod, if possible. Otherwise, It's going to be very hard (if impossible) to get it right each time. If it's not possible to use a tripod, you could use an object that is fixed on a particular spot, and take the photograph resting on exactly the same spot on this object every day, noting where the sides of the frame (ie picture) are marked in the scene. This will be made easier by a camera with a clear (and preferably large) viewfinder - traditional, film-based compact cameras will not be good for this - an SLR would be better, and a decent digital compact would probably be fine too. Cormaggio talk 22:21, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Feel free to show us how it turns out.Elatanatari 20:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Also there is a way to make sure that the pictures are aligned. Take your camera and take pictures everyday at a relative spot like on something fixed. Then you can upload the pictures to photoshop and put it in layers, there is an option that will try to auto align the layers for you. Then you will have to crop it and take the sides off because some pictures might be off a little so photoshop will move it to the side a bit. After that you then can proceed to make a video out of it. I have already done something similar and uploaded to youtube. the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s64qF0v2AG0 Also I am doing a similar project and I have a forum for it. --Rlin06

Gallery
Please add your photos here, and tell us how you made it, and why. If you have any questions about the photography (such as how it could be improved, for example), please add them too.

Photogram

This image is a photogram, which means it was made with the sole use of a photographic enlarger, and not a camera. The process is of arranging objects onto photographic paper, and then exposing the paper to light (from the enlarger), thus creating a shadow of the object on the paper. (The image is a negative, so the shadow is white.) In this case, the paper used was color paper, with a deliberate cyan color cast, and there was a piece of handmade, textured paper in the negative carrier - which was enlarged, and which added to the overall color. The objects used were slices of lemons and pieces of a tomato vine - and I placed these on a piece of transparent cling film to avoid affecting the photographic chemical development process, particularly because of the acidity of the lemons. Cormaggio talk 21:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Very Interesting. Where did you learn about this?Elatanatari 00:51, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * My undergraduate degree (well, diploma actually) is in photography. I became fascinated for a while by photograms, particularly in their slightly unreal quality - often similar to X-Ray photographs. In fact, the earliest book of photographic images was actually a book of cyanotype photograms by Anna Atkins, including images like this one. My image is a nod to those early images... Cormaggio talk 16:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool, very cool. Whats your alma mater?69.216.127.93 01:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I studied in Dublin Institute of Technology - though it was a different course to what it is now. Cormaggio talk 22:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Marmaduke

I like this image not because the subject or execution was particularly interesting, but because I was able to rescue what could have been a wasted photo with just a little, judicious post-production work.

The original image was honestly dreadful: taken on the spur of the moment with my 2.0-megapixel mobile in foul lighting. The camera lacked a flash (which would have ruined the image anyway) and so cranked it's ISO all the way up instead. The resulting image looked underexposed, poorly-focussed, and was of course noisy as hell. Initially I thought I could salvage the image using despeckle filters and the blur tool on the background, which did nothing to help the obviously bad focus and noise on the subject. By desaturating the image and increasing the contrast as much as I dared, ugly multicoloured speckles turned into a vintage graininess. Using a light sharpening filter around the subject improved the effect. The same process also caused the detail and highlights of Marmy's fur to stand out better.

I get the impression from some commercial photographers that post-production (be it digital or darkroom) is where sub-par photographers camouflage for their lack of skill with funky effects. Comments?

 * I'd like to see the original image to see the results of your nifty post-production. :-) The photograph looks good - the increased contrast and sharpening in black and white works well. And yes, it is true that you can mask a certain amount of ill-ability with Photoshop effects (and it is incredible just how extensively Photoshop is used in fashion photography, for example), but there's a limit to how much you can do with an under/overexposed image. Post-production can be great when used intelligently (as you have done here), but it can also look "gimmicky" if over-used... Cormaggio talk 14:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Macro Photography

Macro photography remains something of an enigma to me. Practically, I find it quite hit-and-miss. Largely, I think this is because I don't have any deeper understanding of how it works. This image turned out alright, but I have no idea why. How beneficial is it, for instance, to use a macro lens? Why is it that your DOF is often measured in millimetres? Extreme close-up photography intrigues me, and is a field I want to know more about. Spootonium 10:03, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Macro photography is complicated. First of all, there is a minimum focusing distance for every lens - any closer, and the lens will not be able to resolve the image (in the same way as your eye can't focus on objects closer than its minimum distance). Perhaps this is the reason some images haven't turned out? Depth of field (DOF) is always very low in macro photographs - this is a physical property of the lens (and, believe me, there's only so much you want to know about the physics of lenses on a practical level - perhaps, if you like, try Wikipedia's articles on lens and optics). If you're using an SLR camera, you can get a separate macro lens for your camera - or you can fit macro filters onto your lens (check they're the right width), which have worked for me quite well. I've also been fascinated by macro photography - it gives a whole new dimension to the world at times. :-) Cormaggio talk 23:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmmm. Let me see if I understand correctly - my camera has a non-removable 28-300mm lens achieving only a 10cm macro, but does posess a 58mm filter thread. If I really want to get in there, I could acquire a suitable macro-conversion lens to artificially boost the dioptre (whatever that means) of my lens and reduce the macro focus range. Using a filter yourself, Cormaggio, what improvement did you notice, and what's the trade-off? Spootonium 11:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the late response. When you say a "non-removable" lens, do you mean that you're using a compact camera as opposed to an SLR? It would seem that you're using an SLR if you have a 58mm thread, but then the lens would be removable. In any case, I have found the filters to be excellent - the "trade-off" is that they are not perfectly aligned to the optics of your lens (lens optics are truly "rocket science", and any fraction of over/under-curvature can result in aberrations in the image). However, I never noticed any such aberrations in any images I took, and I have enlarged images to reasonably large sizes. The "improvement" with using filters is that they basically do what a macro lens will do - allow you to take photographs at a much closer range - thereby giving you much more magnification. The ideal would be to buy a lens specifically designed with macro capabilities; filters are a really-not-too bad alternative, and it seems as if that conversion lens is somewhere in between (even though I've never used such a thing). Cormaggio talk 17:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I see. That's food for thought. Thanks. Spootonium 10:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Issues
If you have an issue you would like to raise about any aspect of photography, please add it here.

New Camera
I'm getting a new camera. I want an SLR, but I'm broke. What should I get? Where should I look?Elatanatari 03:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you want a digital or film-based SLR? You can pick up good second-hand film-based cameras quite cheap (though you'll have to pay for subsequent processing of film and prints). Where are you based? Cormaggio talk 11:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Digital, I already have a great film SLR, but the processing can get pricy. Detroit.Elatanatari 15:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Also what do you think of bridge cameras?--Elatanatari 00:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I suppose if you're broke, then second-hand is going to be a real option. There are always people who get a middle-range camera and who subsequently want to upgrade to a pro-end camera, so you might be able to get something decent on, say, eBay. For specific digital camera reviews, this is a good website. I think it's always worth thinking ahead when buying a camera - will it have enough resolution to produce decent-sized prints? What will I be using it for (will I need particular lenses or other additionals in the future)? I think this is the major drawback of "bridge" or any other non-SLR - you can't add any lenses to it down the line. I'd recommend a Canon or Nikon - they have a great range of lenses - but other major manufacturers, like Pentax, Minolta, Olympus, etc are pretty good too. Let me know what you find out, and I'll try to help. Cormaggio talk 09:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Introduction to Programming/Answers to the exercises

Checking An Error Condition
In programming there is rarely one right answer, but for something this simple, your answer should look something like this:

if (divisor != 0) {       quotient = dividend / divisor; }   else {       ReportErrorMessage; }

back

Fibonacci Numbers
int fN = 0; int fNplus1 = 1; int counter = 0;

while (counter < 11) {   fNplus2 = fN + fNplus1; print fN;

fN = fNplus1; fNplus1 = fNplus2; counter += 1; }

A variation, in Perl:

my $counter = 0; my $F = 1; my $prev_F = 0;

while( $counter < 10 ) { print $F. "\n"; my $x = $F; $F = $prev_F + $F; $prev_F = $x;

$counter++; }

Python 3 version :

f = 1 prevF = 0 counter = 0

while counter < 10:    #While loop. What's underneath it runs until counter becomes (counter < 10).

counter += 1 	#You can write this line also as "counter = counter + 1". It assigns 'counter' variable to itself increased by one. print(prevF) prevF += f counter += 1	#We add one to 'counter' variable before each character is printed on screen. print(f) f += prevF

What Wikipedia Should Be
I just saw Wikipedia:What Wikipedia Should Be. I think most people do not think about wiki editing as a way to learn and most people do not think in terms of communities of like-minded editors who can come together in a collaborative effort to learn. It seems like efforts towards having such collaborative learning projects at Wikipedia are mostly restricted to Wikiprojects. Sometimes I think it might be useful to have a Wikiversity project devoted to the study Wikipedia Wikiprojects. My general feeling is that Wikipedia WikiProjects are too focused on encyclopedia content.....that focus does not seem to efficiently allow development of learning communities. I tend to think that Wikiversity has more of a focus on learners, so it might be easier to develop learning communities at Wikiversity. --JWSchmidt 16:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the Bloom Clock!
Hello, Laleena, and thanks for signing up as a contributor to the Bloom Clock!

To get started, all that you need to do is keep your eyes open for flowers on plants growing outdoors. Then, depending on how well you know plants, you can either try to find the plant using the global keys, or just check the master list where plants are listed by their scientific names.

Assuming you find a log page for the plant you saw, all that you need to do is click [edit] above the list of signatures, and add *~ on a new line below the last signature and above the line that begins with, which will make your signature appear on the profile page.

If you don't find a log page, just add an entry for the plant to the Master List using. Someone can then show you how to create a profile and log page for the plant.

If you don't know the name of the plant you saw, try asking on Bloom Clock/Unknown Plants using the template there. Photographs are very helpful, but if you don't have a digital camera, just give the best description you can and hopefully someone can identify it for you.

After you've logged 10 or more plants as flowering for your location, another bloom clock contributor will help you set up the categories and templates used to construct a key for your region, and try to match up your region to the global keys.

If you have any questions, ideas, or need something explained, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

(Apologies for the long-belated welcome message... finally got around to writing one!) --SB_Johnny | talk 09:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Laleena. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Laleena~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:14, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

User:Edvin~enwikiversity

Hello.

My name is Edvin. I live in Sweden since 1989, and think it's quite ok this far. I joined here as a member mainly for the language classes. This far I speak fluent Swedish, some (almost) fluent English and some not that fluent Spanish, along with some pre-kindergarten German and a few phrases in other languages. Some of them are useful, others completely worthless. If you know any of these languages, or are learning any of them, feel free to post me. I use msn but prefer to not post my address this open.

What now? Perhaps a little about myself. I live in a midsized town in central Sweden called Falun, where I study. Mainly science and math. At evenings and weekends I practice juggling, and I have specialised in devilstick playing. I also know the basics of three ball juggling and also about poi spinning. At times I do fire shows with some friends. Juggling is one of the big parts of my life.

Another big part is the music. I love music and play it as often as I get the chance to. I play various instruments, but I can't say I'm really good at any of them. I guess I'm a bit of a jack of all trades in music. Perhaps in total too when I think about it. My latest project is a 6-hole ocarina which I wear around my neck and play as often as I find time to. I seldom read music but know how to do it. I can't sing very well.

Yet another big thing for me is scouting. You know like boy scouting. The term boy scouting is not that much used here since almost all groups are open for both sexes. I've been a scout for over 10 years now and the last 2 of them I've been a scout leader. What I like the best with scouting is that I get to meet new interesting people.

I'm not member of any political party and do not follow any religion.

I guess this is as far as I dare to write if you who read this are to read it. If there is anything else anyone wants to know, send me a message in any way you like. If you see any errors in grammar or spelling (I think you might) I'd be glad if you told me about them.

User:Tall Kevin

My name is Kevin and I am excited about primarily working within the School of Education in the area of Higher Education. It is my belief that there is a great deal of knowledge to be exchanged within this area. My specific focus is in the area of Student Affairs education.

At this time, my educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and a Master of Arts in College Student Personnel (similar to degree programs in Higher Education Administration). I enjoy applying technology to problem solving efforts that primarily work to improve the world around us. Wikiversity appears to be an excellent garden in which to spend time cultivating resources for other knowledge seekers to enjoy.

I hope to play a role in helping develop the knowledge base contained within this sphere while enjoying connecting with this unique community of educators along the way.

Thank you for visiting my page.

Pay it forward whenever the opportunity presents.
