Merge to T group social psychology date May 2010 Unreferenced date December 2006 In 1947, the Office of Naval Research and the National Education Association created the National Training Laboratories Institute in Bethel, Maine . It pioneered the use of T groups Sensitivity or Laboratory Training in which the learners use feedback, problem solving, and role play to gain insights into themselves, others, and groups. The goal was to change the standards, attitudes and behavior of individuals. This type of training is controversial as the behaviors it encourages are often self disclosure and openness, which many people believe an organization ultimately punishes. Also, a lot of the sensitivity training taking place uses excessive activities.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Sekaran Javanese language Javanese for flowering is a type of elaboration used in the Javanese gamelan , especially on the bonang barung . It is similar to the cengkok of other elaborating instrument s in its floridity and openness to improvisation, but a sekaran generally happens only at the end of a nongan or other colotomic division. It is usually preceded by imbal , an interlocking pattern between the bonang barung and the bonang panerus. Different sekaran are used in different pathet , but there are always a variety available. A good bonang player will choose a sekaran based on how the other instruments and the sindhen are improvising. Traditionally the bonang panerus did not play sekaran, and simply continued in the imbal pattern, but now some players use sekaran, as long as they maintain the fast character of typical bonang panerus parts.

It is studying the structure and topology of the Internet to obtain a very accurate map and annotate it with delay loss in the future available bandwidth link capacity. Concept and objective The DIMES project is based on measurement by software agents that are downloaded by volunteers and installed on their privately owned machines. Once installed at user premises the agent operates at a very low rate so as to have minimal impact on the machine performance and on its network connection. DIMES follows the Internet dynamics and growth, the project intends to explore possible relationships between the data gathered on the Internet s growth with geographical and socio economic data, in particular for fast developing countries, to see if they can provide a measure of economic development and societal openness. The project is committed to openness and thus publishes period maps at several aggregation levels on the web. It also includes web interfaces for running remote coordinated measurements, which is used by researches around the world. As of April 2007, over 12500 agents have been installed by over 5500 users residing in about 95 nations, and in several hundreds of ASes. The project has collected over 2.2 billion measurements. These figures make DIMES the largest Internet topology measurement project in the world.
