Wikidata Lab XXX- Roundtripping process for Tainacan.webm

This Wikidata Lab is a technical training on the data roundtripping process using Wikidata and Tainacan, an open source repository for creating digital archives, developed in Brazil. After the webinar, join us on Google Meet for a practical activity online! Presented in English by Éder Porto (WIki Movimento Brasil) and Dalton Lopes Martins (Tainacan), the training will cover the vision for connecting both environments. ▶️ Send a message to eventos@wmnobrasil.org to receive the Google Meet link to join us on the hands-on activity after the webinar ▶️ Event page here: https://w.wiki/3M3W Organization: 🔸 Wiki Movimento Brasil 🔸 Museu Paulista da USP Support: 🔸 Fundação Banco do Brasil 🔸 Universidade de São Paulo 🔸 Fundação de Apoio à Universidade de São Paulo

Wikidata Lab XXXI- Reimagining Wikidata from the margins.webm

This Wikidata Lab is a discussion about the vision and the methodology behind the "Reimagining Wikidata from the margins" project: an initiative to reflect how to decenter Wikidata and envision possible ways for the meaningful and empowered agency of Global South and other marginalized communities in the broad Wikidata ecosystem. This lab will be presented in English by Érica Azzellini (Wiki Movimento Brasil) and Mohammed Sadat Abdulai (WMDE) and it is part of a series of activities that predate WikidataCon 2021. After the webinar, join us on Google Meet for sharing your thoughts on the subject! We'll try to address the project's refletion points available here: https://w.wiki/3xr8 ▶️ Send a message to eventos@wmnobrasil.org to receive the Google Meet link to join us for a further discussion after the webinar ▶️ Event page here: https://w.wiki/3n9a ▶️ Reimagining Wikidata from the margins: https://w.wiki/3UT5

"The overall process of testing the reproducibility and robustness of the cancer biology literature by robot. First, text mining is used to extract statements about the effect of drugs on gene expression in breast cancer. Then two different teams semi-automatically tested these statements using two different protocols, and two different cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) using the laboratory automation system Eve."

Jet Propulsion Laboratory spin test.jpg

Ranger block 3 spin test 8/11/1964 In August 1964, this test fixture was used by the Spacecraft Design Section at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., to study spin stabilization of spacecraft - in this case, Rangers 8 and 9 (part of the Ranger Block 3 design). Many spacecraft had used spin stability for attitude control during acceleration or thrust, and it was found that a slower spin provided better stability for the coasting phase. One method of decreasing the spin of a spacecraft, or de-spinning, was the deployment of yo-yo devices. Weights were attached to rigid or stretch cords, then released while the fixture was spinning. The cords would unwind, like the arms of a figure skater extending to slow a spin, and then the cords were released. In this photo, the cables and weights can be seen, attached to the outside of the white circle. The test fixture is surrounded by what appear to be bales of paper and trash to absorb the impact of the weights when they were released from the spinning test fixture.

National Physical Laboratory- Science and Technology in Wartime, Teddington, Middlesex, England, UK, 1944 A general view of the radiation section in the Light Division of the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. In the foreground, a female scientist works at a piece of apparatus used to test the absorbing properties of materials regarding infra-red and ultra-violet. This is particular important with regard to the development of sunglasses and welding goggles, as the glass used in these items must be able to absorb infra-red and ultra-violet radiation in order to protect the eyes of the wearer.
