Completing high school is a significant milestone for many students. Some aspire to attend top-tier colleges, while others are content with any college that accepts them. Harvard University often stands out as the first choice for those who dream of becoming well-known actors or actresses.
There is a reason why the porn industry makes billions off the people who like to indulge in the visually appealing and arousing experience of watching porn.

A joint MIT and Harvard University report, one of the largest investigations of massive open online courses to date, provides new insights into MOOC behaviors: many teachers enroll, learner intentions matter, and cost boosts completion rates.
We study the general question of how visual information is transformed between the lateral geniculate nu-cleus of the thalamus (LGN) and layer 4 of the primary visual cortex. LGN cells receive visual input from one eye and are not sensitive to an object's orientation or direction of movement. Cortical cells often receive binocular inputs and are usually orientation and direction selective. We use a number of techniques to explore how these transformations come about.
In our electrophysiological studies, we record the activity of many individual neurons simultaneously in both thalamus and cortex. In the cat, we are studying the cortical mechanisms responsible for the selectivity for orientation and direction of motion in simple cells. In the macaque, we concentrate on the first stages of color processing in the cortex. We have found that the wiring of the direct inputs to cortex is extremely precise. Given the visual properties of any single layer 4 cortical neuron, virtually all of the thalamic neurons that would help it perform this function are directly connected to it. In order to study the facilitatory interactions between these multiple inputs to cortical neurons, we are currently using multielectrode arrays to record up to ten neurons in the thalamus along with several of their potential targets.
In related projects we are using optical imaging, a technique for mapping the function of neural populations in vivo. These studies produce maps of the visual cortex that show the clustering of neurons with different receptive field properties. Functional maps allow us to target specific types of neurons (such as color-selective cells in the macaque) for electrophysiological study.
On September 8th, 1636, by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States was founded.

The File Information Tool Set (FITS) identifies, validates, and extracts technical metadata for various file formats. It wraps several third-party open source tools, normalizes and consolidates their output, and reports any errors.
The current tools used are:
* Jhove (LGPL version 2.1 or any later version)
* Exiftool (GPL version 1 or any later version; or the artistic license)
* National Library of New Zealand Metadata Extractor (Apache Public License version 2)
* DROID (BSD version 3.0)
* FFIdent (LGPL)
o Note that the live site for ffident (http://schmidt.devlib.org/ffident/index.html) seems to have disappeared - we are now linking to Internet Archive's version of the ffident website.
* File Utility (windows) (revised BSD)
Medvane is an automated bibliome mining system. Medvane's data source includes articles published since 1973 with at least one author from Harvard or its affiliated institutions. Articles from PubMed are analyzed in the contexts of journal, author, subject, and gene. The relationship between these aspects and their evolution over time give a bird's eye view of biomedical research.

IQSS is launching "Drupal@Harvard" to facilitate support to web developers and administrators across the University who are currently using or plan to use Drupal for fast website development. Drupal@Harvard will consist of a website with forums, Drupal modules and extensions, discussions and news on topics of specific interest to Harvard Drupal users. Drupal@Harvard will also provide monthly seminars and summer workshops.
This first seminar will be a technical overview of Drupal as a successful content management system and web application framework.
Drupal is a large framework and it is known to have a steep learning curve. We will help you to get started and learn its potential.
Wikipedia is popularly perceived as a free-for-all, especially by users of the site who have never taken an interest in its internal workings. Its motto gives some credence to the notion of anarchy: “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” While the motto is literally true, it contains an implication of anarchy that is no longer accurate.
