Musharraf on leadership challenges in solving Middle Eastern disputes
Former President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf talked about the qualities of leadership, the conflict in the Middle East and many other topics during an intense one-hour class session with International Relations students on Oct. 13. 2010
3.2 QSO spectra
Active galaxies provide a prime example of high energy processes operating in the Universe. This unit gives an overview of active galaxies, including the supermassive black holes that power the engines at their centres, and the emission processes by which we detect and study them. It also gives practice in mathematical techniques for analysing data and theoretical models.
Emissions Trading for Australia: Leader or Laggard?
Will emissions trading harm or benefit the economy? Can emissions
trading get Australia to a low emissions future? What is the right way
toward an effective post-Kyoto international scheme?
This is an opportunity to engage with leading experts as they present their perspectives.
4.4 Radioactive waste disposal
The transformation of radioactive uranium and, in some instances, thorium isotopes provides vastly more energy per unit mass of fuel than any other energy source, except nuclear fusion, and therein lies its greatest attraction. The unit considers the advantages and limitations of generating this power and the environmental and security issues that the process raises.
4.3 Nuclear fuel transport and processing
The transformation of radioactive uranium and, in some instances, thorium isotopes provides vastly more energy per unit mass of fuel than any other energy source, except nuclear fusion, and therein lies its greatest attraction. The unit considers the advantages and limitations of generating this power and the environmental and security issues that the process raises.
3.2 Uranium occurrence and ore deposits
The transformation of radioactive uranium and, in some instances, thorium isotopes provides vastly more energy per unit mass of fuel than any other energy source, except nuclear fusion, and therein lies its greatest attraction. The unit considers the advantages and limitations of generating this power and the environmental and security issues that the process raises.
"The Wood Lot," a poem by Robin Becker, 2010-11 Penn State laureate
Robin Becker, the 2010-11 Penn State laureate and professor of English and women's studies at the University, is sharing several of her poems via video during the 2010-11 academic year, aiming to engage people "in the deep pleasures of poetry -- language crafted and shaped from words, the 'ordinary' material we all use every day," to explore how and why poems move us.

Toying with Transmedia: The Future of Entertainment is Child’s Play
In what could be the ultimate twist on Toy Story, Henry Jenkins suggests that action figures -- those Star Wars and Masters of the Universe dolls from a few decades ago -- had the power to spark human creativity and transcend their original function. Jenkins argues such toys served children and yo

Bernard Chazelle: Why Your Humble iPod Might Be Holding the Biggest Mystery in All of Science
Moore's Law holds that, every 18 months, computing power doubles. Most of the wonders of the computer age can be directly attributed to Moore's Law. Alas, its days are numbered. What then? In this talk Dr. Chazelle argues that the years ahead will usher in the era of the "Algorithm," a notion that will prove even more disruptive and revolutionary than quantum mechanics was in the 20th century.
