3.7.1 The machined-at-once tip and cantilever

Just as in conventional manufacturing, micro engineering is cheapest to do if as few different materials as possible are used and if the number of separate processes involved is minimised. Therefore, the idea of making the cantilever and the probe out of the same material and in the same process step is a very attractive one.

When silicon nitride is deposited onto a silicon surface, it produces a thin film that coats the whole of the material to an equal thickness. We have already seen

2.1 Introducing Classical studies

It's time to get a little closer to our topic: the Classical world. We will start off with an activity in the format used throughout the course A219 Exploring the Classical World, from which this unit is derived.

Although some of what is noted in the attached video footage is only dealt with in detail within the original course, viewing it should prepare you for your work in this unit. It should also whet your appetite for further studies in this fascinating area!

Activity4: Experience, practice and reflection

Allow about 40 minutes for this activity.

Acrucial setting for your learning in this module will be the workplace (in the broad sense we referred to earlier). In BU130, you will be taking a fresh look at your workplace to see if you can incorporate some of the ideas that you will read about on this module.

The approach we have taken means that there won’t be quite as much reading for you to do as in many Open University modules at this level, but instead you will devote

Activity 2 : The transformation model

Allow 40 minutes for this activity.

Work is a productive human activity, and so whatever we call work will have some identifiable outcomes, at least some of which we will see as beneficial to ourselves and/or to others. A model that can be useful to developing our understanding of this view of work is the transformation model (sometimes called the input/output diagram). The basic transformation model is shown in Figure 1.1.

An introduction to e-commerce and distributed applications
What is ‘e-commerce’? This unit will look at typical application areas including the internet, supply chain management and online auctions. It will also help you to understand the underlying technologies used to implement e-commerce applications before looking at some of the problems that can be encountered when developing distributed e-commerce systems.Author(s): Creator not set

2.3 ICTs and you

Sometimes it's useful to stop and think a bit about your own experiences and focus on your own views. This can help you understand issues in more depth. For example, when studying the impact of ICTs on everyday life, your own experiences are a useful resource.

9.1 Iron (Fe)

The ability of blood to carry oxygen is due to the presence of the red pigment, haemoglobin, present in red blood cells. Haemoglobin is a protein formed from four polypeptide chains called globins, in the centre of each of which is a small non-protein part called a haem group (haima is Greek for ‘blood’). Each of the haem groups has an iron atom within it (Author(s): The Open University

6.1 Trace elements

The trace elements (also known as minor minerals or microminerals) are those that occur in quantities of less than about 5 g in the body. The more important ones are listed in Table 5, though not all of them will be considered here.

1 1.2 How DNA is replicated

Cell division involving the nuclear division of mitosis produces two progeny cells, which contain identical genetic material, which is also identical with that of the original parent cell. This is how a fertilized egg grows into an adult many-celled organism. For one cell to become two new ones with identical genetic material, the DNA in each chromosome must undergo a process in which an identical copy is made.

As noted above, Watson and Crick postulated that DNA base-pairing provides a
