Valencian Institute of Modern Art
The "Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM)" website offers pertinent information about this museum of contemporary art. The site, available in English, Spanish and Valencian, is divided into several sections presented in a tabular form. The collections section describes the main features of the permanent collection of the museum. It consists of over 10,000 pieces representing Cubism, Surrealism, Informalism, Pop Art and other expressions of modern art during the last century. There is also an
Case It! Case Study Learning via Simulations of Molecular Biology Techniques
Case It! is an NSF-sponsored project to promote collaborative case-based learning in biology education worldwide. This paper describes the latest version of the Case It! simulation software (DNA gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting, and PCR). Students use these open-ended molecular biology computer simulations to analyze case studies involving genetic diseases, then discuss results with their peers at other institutions via web-based "poster sessions." They also use Case It! software to gather

Section 2: Why study languages?
All of us in our working lives increasingly need to work with people from other cultures or those whose native language is foreign, or we may have to go to another country and work as a foreigner ourselves. This unit is about how to understand differences in culture and how to make the most of existing language skills. It is aimed at all adult learners, whether in FE or in the workplace. The sections are independent, and can be studied in any order and any combination. They are linked to NVQ ass
2.4 Modern mine planning
During the Indistrial Revolution half of the world's coal came from Britain. We still rely heavily on it today to meet our energy needs, but now we input more than we produce. Burning it introduces large amounts of gases into the atmosphere that harm the environment in a variety of ways. In this unit it will become apparent that the most appealing quality of coal is that there is plenty of it.
A legal and historical study of post-WWII Singapore Trials: Death and suffering on the "hell-ships"
Dr Cheah Wui Ling gives her talk entitled 'A legal and historical study of post-WWII Singapore trials: Death and Suffering on the Hell Ships' as part of the 2009 Taking Stock of Transitional Justice conference
Using ancient DNA to study climate change, mass extinctions, and human evolution
Ancient DNA provides a unique means to watch evolution occurring in real time. By tracking genetic changes in ancient populations we can examine the effects of major climatic changes on animal and plant populations from around the world through the last 100,000 years
Antisemitism: medieval and modern
This lecture covered the essential features of medieval Christian antisemitism and the very different features of modern racial antisemitism, culminating in Nazi antisemitism. It concluded with an assessment on the connection between historical antisemitism and the antisemitism of today.
This was the Herbert and Valmae Freilich Foundation Annual Lecture in Bigotry and Tolerance 2009.
Modern War & Modern Law
Warfare has become a legal institution. Law organises and disciplines
the military, defines the battle-space, privileges killing the enemy,
and offers a common language to debate the legitimacy of waging war -
down to the tactics of particular battle. At the same time, law is no
longer a matter of firm distinctions - combatant and non-combatant, war
and peace. It has become a flexible and strategic partner for both the
military and for humanitarians seeking to restrain the violence of
warfare. T
How a Clash between our Genes & Modern Life is Making us Sick
This address introduces the ideas in Professor Greg Gibson's new book It Takes a Genome. The last two years have seen a revolution in genome scientists' ability to find the genes that influence whether a person is likely to suffer from any one of the major common chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, depression, or dementia. The shocking result, though, is that rather than a few dozen genes in each case, there are hundreds if not thousands in play, each of which contr
