Rating
0.0 stars

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the properties and behavior of a square. The applets shows a square with all vertices draggable. As you drag any one, the others move to ensure the figure remains a square. It can be seen that the sides remain parallel and congruent, and the interior angles remain 90 degrees Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Rating
0.0 stars

Maylin cuisine des plats savoureux au restaurant de son papa dans le quartier chinois, mais son père et ses frères en prennent tout le crédit. Lorsqu'un dignitaire arrive de Chine pour un somptueux banquet, le père lui sert un plat que Maylin a créé, Des roses chantent sur la nouvelle neige. Le visiteur est tellement impressionné qu'il en demande la recette! Après que ses frères aient sans succès tenté de la recréer, le père n'a d'autre choix que d'appeler sa fille. Maylin enseigne toutes les étapes au dignitaire. Après avoir goûté sa propre cuisine, l'homme se rend compte qu'il est incapable de réaliser le plat et que le chef constitue le plus important ingrédient! Maylin reçoit finalement le crédit qui lui revient pour avoir réussi à fusionner la cuisine du Vieux et du Nouveau Monde.

Detection Dogs – The Forensics Library
Rating
0.0 stars

A vital aspect of a forensic investigation may be to detect and locate specific people or substances of interest, ranging from illegal drugs to missing people to clandestine graves. Sophisticated detection equipment does exist, however this technology can often be expensive, have unsuitable portability, and may even prove useless when searching vast areas. Fortunately for investigators, there is an ideal tool available. Dogs, sometimes known as K9s or sniffer dogs by law enforcement professionals, have played an important role in legal investigations for decades, with their keen sense of smell being harnessed to aid investigations. The average human being has roughly five million sensitive cells within the nose to aid in scent detection. This appears to be a large number, until compared with the 200 million cells in the average dog’s nose. Further increasing the canine’s sense of smell is an organ in the roof of the mouth that is not present in humans. This organ essentially allows the dog to ‘taste’ a smell, thus strengthening its ability to detect odours. Canines detect odours directly from the source or residual scents; odours which persist in an area after the original source is no longer present. Obviously the air is full of a vast variety of different odours, many of which will be powerfully clear to the dog. Fortunately they are able to distinguish between different odours, even if one smell overpowers another, and trace a specific scent to its source.

Dictionnaire des francophones (DDF)
Rating
0.0 stars

« Le Dictionnaire des francophones est un dictionnaire collaboratif numérique ouvert qui a pour objectif de rendre compte de la richesse du français parlé au sein de l’espace francophone ... Les dictionnaires généraux du français se focalisent sur le français standard, commun, par rapport auquel les variétés sociales (argot, mots familiers, etc.) ou géographiques (belgicismes, québécismes, etc.) sont situées. Le but du DDF est de décrire dans une même ressource tous les mots du français, quel que soit la région ou le registre de langue où ils sont utilisés, pour donner accès à une image instantanée, sans cesse renouvelée, du français dans le monde ... Dans le Dictionnaire des francophones, toutes les variétés du français sont présentées ensemble et placées sur un pied d’égalité. »

On peut choisir une localisation géographique avant d'initialiser sa recherche d'un terme quelconque, ou faire une recherche générale qui puisera dans toutes les ressources numériques du DDF.

Distance between points
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate how to find the distance between two points with given coordinates. The applet has two points on a Cartesian plane. As the user drags either point it continuously recalculates the distance between them. The distance is shown both on the plane and as a continuously changing formula. The grid, axis pointers and coordinates can be turned on and off. The distance calculation can be turned off to permit class exercises and then turned back on the verify the answers. The applet can be printed as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full description of the concept of point distance, a worked example and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate how to find the perpendicular distance between a point and a line that is either vertical or horizontal, given the coordinates of the point and the equation of the line. The user can set the orientation of the line and position, along with the location of the point. As the line is altered or the point dragged, the distance is recalculated. The grid and coordinates can be turned on and off. The distance calculation can be turned off to permit class exercises and then turned back on the verify the answers.
