Labview



Learning how to use LabVIEW for making cool applications

This is a video we made to help introduce people to some of the concepts in LabVIEW. LabVIEW is a programming language that was created in 1986 and has become very popular among engineers and scientists because it is almost entirely graphical. Graphical programming languages like LabVIEW are really great for people that don't like or don't understand text based languages like C++ or C#. You can do all of the things that a text based language can do but you don't have to worry about things like thread management or memory allocation. You can even create fairly powerful applications for multicore processors that truly take advantage of the different cores. This video just introduces the basics of LabVIEW but if you want, you can actually go check out the Evaluation version at

Lectures on Stem cell

Human tissues vary in their ability to heal and regenerate. The nervous system has weak powers of regeneration, while the skin is quick to make new cells for repair. Mammalian muscle cells are intermediate in their ability to regenerate. Human muscle can regenerate in response to minor wounds and normal wear and tear, but humans will not grow a new bicep, for example, in response to amputation. The heart is the most important muscle in the body and yet has feeble regenerative capabilities. Research into the wholesale production of new replacement organs and limbs is in its infancy, but research into enhancing normal levels of regeneration is progressing rapidly. Recent discoveries concerning the location and characteristics of adult stem cells and the signals that wounded tissue produces to activate stem cells have increased our understanding of regeneration. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is an example of an important stem cell communication molecule. If the activity of the growth factor is experimentally enhanced, muscle regeneration improves.

ABOUT UCLA MATH:The American Mathematical Society honored UCLA’s math department and its “first-rate faculty of internationally recognized mathematicians” with the 2007 Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department.
UCLA’s department is “an outstanding model of all that a mathematics department can be,” the society declared, adding that “UCLA has become one of the biggest pipelines to mathematical careers in the United States.”
More than 1,000 scholars a year participate in programs that bring together mathematicians and scientists from the fields of biology, the physical sciences, medicine, engineering and others, as well as from industry and national laboratories.

Structural Aspects of Biomaterials

Bio Engineering/ME C117:
Structural Aspects of Biomaterials
By Professor Lisa Pruitt




This course provides an overview of medical devices, FDA regulatory issues, biocompatibility and sterilization technology. It examines biomechanical properties: isotropy/anisotropy, stiffness, bending stresses, contact stresses, multiaxial loading, plasticity, fatigue, fracture, wear, corrosion, design issues. Also covered: Orthopedics, Dental, Cardiovascular, and Soft Tissue Reconstruction.
Professor Pruitt's current research is focused on fatigue and fracture micromechanisms, cyclic damage zones, and evolution of structure due to cyclic loading and environment in advanced polymers and biomaterials; tribology of...
