21st Century Challenges in Perspective: From academic research to government policy
The first set of our Policy Briefings at a seminar in the House of Commons. Dr Ian Goldin and Professor Sarah Harper gave presentations to a cross-party selection of MPs and Lords, with representatives from government, NGOs and think tanks also present. On 3 July, we launched the first set of our Policy Briefings at a seminar in the House of Commons, entitled "21st Century Challenges in Perspective: From academic research to government policy".

IQ2 Panel Discussion: The Future of Medicine
Academics from the Oxford Martin School (formerly the James Martin 21st Century School) present their latest research in the areas of stem cells, particle therapy, nanotechnology and neurodegeneration. Moderated by the science presenter, Michael Mosley, (most recently seen on BBC Two for the 'Story of Science' series), the discussions offered audience members the latest information on a variety of topics that could transform the way we combat health challenges of the future. The panel discussio
Animals in Research: Law, Policy, and Humane Sciences
Introduces students to the principles, laws, and policies that influence the use of animal and alternative, non-animal-based (humane sciences) research techniques in biomedical research.

Final report: New worship complex for the Christian Church at Cogan Station
The Christian Church at Cogan Stations is a moderately sized congregation that is located ten miles northwest of Williamsport, PA. Situated on the side of a mountain, the church is located on a large terraced site with views of the surrounding mountainous terrain. The church has approached Quadra Engineering to design a new, multi-purpose facility for their growing congregation. Our team has proposed constructing a new fifty-five thousand square foot building adjacent to the existing church, and
Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game: Internet Games, Social Inequality and Racist Talk as Griefing
This talk recaps the history of racist griefing online and link the current crisis in racial discourse in the US with this practice, exploring the implications for digital games as a transnational public sphere. Games are a radically transnational medium: as Martin Lister writes in New Media: An Introduction, 'even before Pokemon, the videogame was perhaps the most thoroughly transnational form of popular culture, both as an industry (with Sony, Sega and Nintendo as the key players) but also at

Spartan Sagas: Robert Arnold
The year was 1965 and the boy was young, just twelve years of age. The person at the other end of the phone extended an invitation to his mother and father; to bring their disabled son to the University Of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. When the appointed day arrived, the couple brought their son to the hospital so he could be evaluated by a visiting psychologist. "The good news is that your son is not mentally retarded; the bad news is that he is slow, will not graduate from high school, coll

La domination de l'espace et les réseaux de satellite (video)
La technologie de ce siècle évolue désormais en suivant la loi de Moore, selon laquelle les performances des composants électroniques évoluent exponentiellement avec une constante de temps de deux ans. De là découlent d'abord la percée des micro-ordinateurs puis, plus inattendue, la croissance également exponentielle des réseaux de communication. Quels sont les facteurs de cette expansion qui crée la société de l'information ? L'espace est le moyen global de transfert et distrib

Cataloging quality as a communicative process
The presentation discusses the usage of the online catalog by library staff, and showed the impact of staff's needs on quality of cataloging, in her remarks, "Cataloging quality as a communicative process." The presentation focused on methods of quality improvement of OCLC member records. Records have a communicative nature: in the contemporary era of copy cataloging, records are crafted for copying. Peers in OCLC and public services staff in a local library are two important groups that motivat

Quantitative Easing: It's Sinking the Fed's Status Uh oh, Mr. Bernanke, the natives are getting restless. Now it's not just Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, or foreign central bankers, but more and more American economists who are starting to openly challenge the second round of "quantitative easing." It's tough to rule the world, and sometimes the benighted m
2.4 Chain conformations The repeat units or chains shown in the previous figures are all static representations of real chains and they are therefore of limited use. The key idea we need to explore real chains, and their influence on properties is that of the conformation of a chain. A single conformation is just a single shape that a chain can adopt, so that for example, when a polyethylene chain is shown as a linear zig-zag, this is one possible conformation. Static formulae do not show an important aspect
2.3.6 Copolymers So far, the discussion has been confined to polymers with only a single type of repeat unit, but in reality, a large and growing number of commercial polymers are actually composed of different types of unit attached together by chemical covalent bonds. They are known as copolymers, and can comprise just two different units (binary copolymers) or three (ternary), and so on. It is one of the common strategies used by molecular engineers to manipulate the properties of polymers to gain j
2.3.5 Repeat unit placement A final kind of isomerism in homopolymers is possible when monomer units are added to a growing chain in reverse rather than in their normal position. Because monomer molecules have a particular shape in space, they will normally approach a growing chain end to minimise any spatial interaction, and a regular chain structure results from head-to-tail joints. A defective joint can sometimes occur, however, when heads combine to form a head-to-head joint (Author(s):
