Pulse of the Planet
Akin to a living creature, Earths land, air, oceans, ice, and life fit together into a complex, interlocking system. Space affords a unique vantage point from which to observe the daily, seasonal, and annual changes in Earths systems. Using data from advanced satellites, NASA visualizations portray a majestic, and sometimes violent, natural world and also capture the influences humans have on the planet. Over 80 NASA-related earth science animations created over the past 8 years implementing rea
4.8 Interlude – diagrams
How does the computer's peculiar binary world of digital entities differ from our analogue world of colour, sound, taste and touch? This unit explores the way in which information, in the form of text, still and moving images, and sound can cross the boundary from the analogue universe into a digital world.
1 Why is information security important?
Headline news scares about stolen or missing data are becoming a frequent occurrence as organisations rely more and more heavily on computers to store sensitive corporate and customer information. This unit discusses the importance of protecting information and gives an overview of information security management systems.
6.1.2 Choosing programmes and parameters

PediNeuroLogic Exam: Introduction: Key Principles
There are several key principles of neurodevelopment to keep in mind. First, the development of motor control proceeds in a head to toe fashion. The baby first develops head control, then trunk control (sitting), and finally controls the lower extremities (walking). Second, primitive reflexes (such as the Moro, grasp, and Galant) are normally present in the term infant and diminish over the next 4 to 6 months of life. The postural reflexes (such as the positive support reflex, Landau, lateral pr
References Tornado Damage! 3.4 Biological approaches Certain kinds of psychological disturbances may be seen as ‘malfunctions’ of the brain. If a psychological problem has an obvious biological explanation, then it may be possible to direct therapeutic approaches at this level. However, as we have seen, it is difficult to identify precise biological causes for complex psychological phenomena. Even if this were possible, it would not always be practicable to use treatments to change the underlying biological factors.
