Landscapes and embryos : A film from A. Martinez Arias
Developmental Biology aims to understand the emergence of an organism from a single cell. It probes embryos with experiments in the hope of unravelling principles that govern the way they are made. The developmental biologist, like the subject of a famous R. Magritte painting (Clairvoyance) looks at an egg and sees the processes that shapes it into chick, a fly, a fish or a mouse. The real artists in this process are the cells and this video tries to capture them at work in different organisms.

Introduction

This unit explores different understandings of nature and environment and the significance these may have for developing responsibility. The problems of connecting human and non-human nature are presented here as being a challenge peculiar to the concerns of environmental responsibility. They provide the impetus for exploring the idea of ‘conversation’ as a metaphor for what matters in environmental responsibility. Using a reading by Stephen Talbott as a foundation, the conversation me

8.4.2 Closed-loop control

Very often in the manufacture of microsystems, the etching steps are meant to remove a layer of material entirely from within the areas defined by the mask pattern. This offers the opportunity to detect the moment the etch is complete by spotting a change in composition of the reaction products from the etching. This is particularly useful in dry etching, where very small numbers of molecules can be detected using optical or mass-spectrometry-based residual gas analysis. Gaseous reaction prod

12.1.1 Survey questionnaires

Questionnaires are lists of questions that enable information to be gathered efficiently from a relatively large number of respondents. Most questionnaires require a fixed type of response, such as a choice between available answers, or along a scale of response. For example, a product design questionnaire might suggest, ‘I found the product easy to use’ and provide a five-point scale of response from ‘agree strongly’ to ‘disagree strongly’. Or a question might be, ‘how often do

1.2 What does this unit cover?

This unit offers some responses to these questions by outlining the variety of regions and regionalisms, their recent growth and its causes, their development in the EU context, and different future scenarios.

3.5 Establishing Ethernet standards

The first Ethernet network was developed in the early 1970s, long before the days of the World Wide Web and personal computers (PCs). It was designed by researchers at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre in California, USA to connect the Centre's ‘Alto’ computers to an office printer.

Ethernet's journey from its modest roots to become the dominant network technology is a fascinating one. One of the main reasons for its success lies with the decision to publish the standard. Standard
