Learn about Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream
Nitrogen is normally an odorless, colorless gas that makes up 78% of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is SO COOL - that its boiling point is -320 degrees F. Watch as liquid nitrogen instantly transforms a standard sugar and cream mixture into ice cream -- without any measurable time elapsing in this episode from Food Science. Run time 05:50.

Leaf Cutter Ants
Lumberjacks should be envious! With jaws vibrating a thousand times per second these ants cut leaves fast! Watch this movie to see these ants in action. Professional, close-up footage and narration from National Geographic. The video could be a cute introduction to a lesson about the herbivore. Run time 02:05.
Les volcans (video)
Les volcans sont responsables de la formation de notre atmosphère et des continents, qui sont en quelque sorte l'écume magmatique de la Terre. Ils sont aussi un précieux outil d'échantillonnage de l'intérieur de la Terre, et leurs laves portent des informations précieuses sur la composition des roches profondes et inaccessibles dont elles sont issues. Il faut enfin voir chaque volcan comme le résultat superficiel des mouvements internes de grande ampleur qui affectent notre planète d
89: Drucker on the ‘bounded goodness’ of corporate social responsibility
Peter Drucker’s immense contribution to the thinking and practice of management extends to social responsibility in business. This work goes back over 60 years but remains relevant today -- notwithstanding the impacts of globalisation and the greater interconnectedness of business and society.
110: Central Bank of Nigeria governor on Africa's growth
There is a lot of potential for Africa, but for this to happen, it needs to address a long list of concerns, according to Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, governor for the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The anatomy cookbook : a dissection guide with recipes
The Anatomy Cookbook has been written to accompany an anatomy and physiology course for bioengineers who would otherwise have missed out on the opportunity to study real organ systems at first hand. It is not an alternative to a standard anatomy text, it acts more as a laboratory supplement. The fun bit is that your kitchen takes the place of the dissection room. Each recipe provides an insight into one or more organs, and all you need to do is go to the supermarket and be prepared to think a

Images of the Earth
Structure: Three credits. Three lecture hours per week (45 total hours).
This is an introduction to the new, rapidly evolving, and interdisciplinary field of Earth System Science. This course emphasizes the ideas of Earth as a planet within the solar system; the interactions among the components of the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere; and global changes. Studying Earth as a system is accomplished by the analysis of remote sensing data. Images acquired by airborne and spaceborn
Jumping about in applied probability
Professor Andreas Kyprianou from the Department of Mathematical Sciences gives a gentle introduction to probability theory and its pivotal role in current mathematics research.
Concerns of Biometrics Presentation on high security and the concerns with biometric technology.
The listening room, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham : A gallery installation and an offsite project
The three upper galleries of Ikon house two variants of The Listening Room. Each installation amplifies the sound of a gallery in real time, introducing low-volume feedback, pitches delineated by the architectural characteristics of the space and modulated by the transient nature of people passing through.
In between is the central gallery, a space where the sound of the two Listening Rooms actively mixes and merges, allowing the two activated spaces to affect each other - in a very real sen

Réduction de la mortalité maternelle - Dakar 2010 : l’Education Pour la Santé vue d’en bas.
Bien que l’analyse des problèmes institutionnels soit essentielle pour comprendre la faible performance de l’EPS, l’auteur aborde surtout la question des rapports entre le dispositif technique et les populations locales. De quelle manière ces populations réagissent-elles aux messages de l’EPS et pourquoi ?
Présentation d’une typologie générale des attitudes observées et examen des déterminants socio-économiques des conduites sanitaires des populations en insistant s

Solid State Physics
In the electrical engineering, solid-state materials and the properties play an essential role. A thorough understanding of the physics of metals, insulators and semiconductor materials is essential for designing new electronic devices and circuits. After short introduction of the IC fabrication process, the course starts with the crystallography. This will be followed by the basic principle of the quantum mechanics, the sold-state physics, band-structure and the relation with electrical propert
How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition (2000)
This page, in the National Academy Press website, gives the table of content of the book in the title of this site. As one of the "openbooks" from this press, the site allows one to search the book (approximately 400 pages) as well as download the complete book or selected portions of it. The site will be most useful to an analytical scientist interested in reading about current learning theories.
