CS 61A - Spring 08 - The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Instructor Brian Harvey Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types, data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples. It also relates these techniques to the practical problems of implementation of languages and algorithms on a von Neumann machine. There are several significant programming projects, programmed in a dialect of the LISP language. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu

CUMULATIVE IMPACTS AND CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH | 2013 Symposium MORE INFO: http://circle.berkeley.edu/kidsCimpacts.html RELATED PLAYLIST: 2012 Symposium http://www.youtube.com/course?list=ECBFF2D8E138A22D23 We have known for some time that regional air pollution exacerbates asthma. Now, Prof McConnell presents emerging evidence from the Southern California Children's Environmental Health Center http://hydra.usc.edu/cehc/ showing that the air pollution mixture near roadways from vehicles also causes childhood asthma. Regional and near‐roadway pollution exposures are significant cumulative risks. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS of environmental factors and social stressors during early life may increase disease in children, hasten onset and increase severity of disease in adulthood, and contribute to health disparities. #kidsCimpacts SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZERS *Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment http://oehha.ca.gov/index.html ...
