Panel 1: The Art of Collecting. This panel addresses collecting as an art form and the ways in which the collection of art changed or shifted in the modern era.

CS 61A The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Instructor Brian Harvey Spring 2008 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.

UC Berkeley engineers perform "shake tests" on a scale-model steel bridge to demonstrate a new bridge design that they say can better resist significant earthquake damage. The tests were conducted with ground motions equivalent to large quakes that have hit California, Chile, Japan and other parts of the world. The bridge segments are supported by seismic isolators and utilize a new Segmental Displacement Control Isolation System. The system is designed with lockup guides between bridge segments to constrain movement during a quake, allowing the roadway's center line to remain continuous. The strategy is meant to improve driver safety while minimizing damage to the bridge and the joints between the bridge segments. The research is being conducted by Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), a consortium of nine universities on the West Coast, headquartered at UC Berkeley.
