In this course we will study the interactions between multiple players (decision makers). Such problems arise frequently in supply chain applications. The interaction of a firm with its competitors, customers and suppliers can be modeled as a game, and hence, our main tool of analysis in this course will be Game Theory. Course goals will be accomplished through lectures, homework and readings. Lectures will emphasize the theoretical aspects of the field, and homework will focus on problem solving skills. This course will be offered in English. This course is designed to help students connect game theory with practices in issues of supply chains, industrial economics, or some related topics in decentralized systems, where individual entrepreneurs have their own profit functions and often are unwilling to reveal their own information to each other or the public.

Image processing is a basic tool for biomedical image analysis. Ranging from contrast enhancement to stereotatic surgery, image processing provides various levels of assistance to the biomedical researches and clinical applications. As an introductory course to the biomedical image processing, the aim of this course is to offer the entry-level graduate students the fundamental image processing techniques. The scope of this course will cover the basic transformation techniques, properties of various medical images, image acquisition, processing and rendering. In addition to the regular lectures, the students are required to exploit advanced techniques independently to reinforce learning. It will include one term project and a couple of paper studies.

Actual implementation of the image processing algorithms on the biomedical images will be emphasized in this course. Although it is not a pre-requisite, the students need to use Matlab as the programming tool for the homeworks. There will be about five homeworks for practice. One exam will be given toward the end of the class. The students will be asked to demonstrate the result of the term project by an oral presentation and a written report.

This course is consist of three sections. First section provides basic information on meteorology such as temperature, humidity, radiations on earth surface. Second section shows theoretical background of water and CO2 exchange processes between atmosphere and forests. Third section shows field measurement techniques for the water and CO2 exchange processes. Finally, the impacts of the water and CO2 exchange processes on climate system and water resources are also examined. This course aim to develop basic ability to conduct a research for forest meteorology, hydrology and ecology through the course, and also to motivate to understand environmental issues such as human induced land-use changes and climate change based on biophysical background.

This course provides students with a broad background in the principles of ecology. It covers ecology at different levels of organization, including behavioral, physiological, evolutionary, population & community, and ecosystem ecology. Some other specialized topics are also discussed.

Lectures generally follow a textbook, but materials outside the textbook are also covered. Students are responsible for all the materials covered in lectures — attendance is essential for a satisfactory completion of the course.

Lectures are mostly done using PowerPoint slides although some concepts are explained using the blackboard. The slide file of a lecture may be available before the lecture (I will try to upload the file by Wednesday night for the lecture given in the following day).

There are three exams. These exams account for 100% of the course grade. We do not curve exam scores regardless of the average score.

Attendance (including class participation) will affect bonus points. By asking questions and expressing ideas in class, you may gain bonus points. Poor attendance (e.g., absence and tardiness) as well as poor participation (e.g., sleeping, chatting, playing with an electronic device) would reduce bonus points. Poor participation is equivalent to missing a lecture. Your bonus points may become negative, but the minimum bonus point you will get for your final grade is 0. You should not expect to receive any bonus point after missing three or more lectures.

Unannounced quizzes may be given. Quizzes and assignments (if any are given — no assignments were given last year) are for bonus points. Because of this, even if a student misses a quiz with a legitimate reason, no make-up quiz will be given. Quizzes and assignments count for bonus points only when attendance and participation are satisfactory.

The maximum possible bonus point is 10% in the final grade. Students who get 100% on the exams and have good attendance can earn more than 100% in the course, but the maximum possible grade is 100%. The detail about the value of bonus points may change. If it changes, the value can only increase, but students should not expect a change to take place.

If any questions, including potential grading errors, arise for your grade on an exam, an assignment or a quiz, submit a written request with your rationale for a regrade. Requests must be made within one week of the return of a graded material, otherwise the grade is final. This one week starts from the day an exam is first returned in a class even if a student does not receive it by missing the class.

If you miss a class and do not receive a graded material, you can pick it up at the instructor’s office. The instructor will not bring it to a class again unless an arrangement is made.

If your grade based on the three exams is less than 60%, the maximum obtainable grade (with bonus points) is 60% (C-). In addition, master’s students whose grade is less than 70% based on the three exams can get at most 70% with bonus points.

Doctoral students will not receive bonus points. Exam scores completely determine the grade.

The schedule (described in the content section of this website) is subject to change throughout the semester. The dates on which the exams are scheduled can also change. After completing this course students will
1.have an understanding of fundamental concepts in ecology
2.become better prepared for taking advanced courses in ecology
3.be able to perceive nature scientifically

This is a lab course intended to complement the lecture course (ENT3003). It is designed such that students who are currently enrolled in ENT3003 can have better understanding of selected topics covered in the lecture course. Students cannot take the lab course without concurrently taking the lecture course. Students who had completed an equivalent ecology lecture course may take this course, but it is not recommended to do so because the lecture (ENT3003) and the lab (ENT3020) are not designed independently.

Attendance

Students are required to attend every lab. The following penalties will be applied:

Absence: -14 points.

Tardiness (< 15 min): -5 points. Tardiness (>= 15 min): -14 points.

(1 point is 1% of the final grade.)

Students who missed a lab are not allowed to submit any assigned work associated with the lab. Therefore, a missed lab can affect both attendance and assignment points at the same time.

No cellphones or mobile computers are to be used in class unless otherwise instructed by the instructor. Poor attendance in terms of participation (e.g., using a cellphone, sleeping, not participating in lab activities, etc.) will greatly reduce attendance points (e.g., equivalent to being absent).

Assignments

Everything students are asked to submit is an assignment (e.g., lab materials, data, quiz, report, homework). Submit an assignment on time. No late assignments are accepted. Lab activities are also counted as assignments. A missed assignment results in at least 6 points deduction.

Exam

There will be one exam in this course, and it is held at the end of the semester. The exam will ask the details of lab activities, including the interpretations of experimental methods and results. Participating in labs and understanding each lab activity is the best way to prepare for the exam.

Grading

Attendance and Assignments 55%

Exam 45%

There are no bonus points offered in this course.

A student can potentially get a negative final grade (e.g., many absenses), but such a student will still get an F as the final grade.

The schedule (described in the content section of this website) is subject to change throughout the semester. The following skills will be developed:
