12.815 Atmospheric Radiation (MIT)
This is an introduction to the physics of atmospheric radiation and remote sensing including use of computer codes. Subjects covered include: radiative transfer equation including emission and scattering, spectroscopy, Mie theory, and numerical solutions. We examine the solution of inverse problems in remote sensing of atmospheric temperature and composition.

Under FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s leadership, the agency has made bold moves in net neutrality, spectrum reallocation, and now, unlocking the cable box.
1.8 Models of health care delivery: the salutogenic model Whereas pathogenesis (the way disease processes develop) underpins the biomedical model, the concept of positive health, or salutogenesis, focuses on how and why people stay well. Salutogenesis can be seen either as a model in its own right or as an example of the biopsychosocial approach (Antonovsky, 1979, 1987). Antonovsky's salutogenic model was designed to advance understanding of the relationship between stressors, coping and health, with the aim of explaining how some indi
Safe Harbor: Minnesota's Effort to End Child Sex Trafficking
This e-case focuses on the collaborative design of policy to address sex trafficking in Minnesota. The purpose of this e-case is to explore how numerous leaders from different sectors collectively seized the opportunity to build and then persistently worked to collaboratively design policy to address a complex societal issue. This material is part of The Hubert Project collection, the premier hub for open educational resources in the public affairs field.
2.2 The Cain and Hopkins thesis
Britain was the first country to industrialise, and it acquired the largest empire ever during this same period. But its sphere of economic influence extended far beyond the boundaries of the formal British Empire. This unit focuses on the economics of empire, using a case study of one town, Dundee in eastern Scotland, to explore this huge topic.
5.3.2 Productivity difference The preceding discussion has only considered what would happen if all women undertake less investment in human capital than men. If men and women invest to the same extent, human capital theory suggests that no wage differences would be observed. What happens, however, if there are differences in skill levels both between genders and within gender groups? To consider this we will also make the additional assumption that firms do not know when recruiting workers who are the most productive. Ho
8.1 Introduction This section continues with the work started in Section 7. Here you will build on your research to look at some recent applications of RFID and some of the issues surrounding its deployment.
4.6 Hyperbola (e > 1) A hyperbola is the set of points P in the plane whose distances from a fixed point F are e times their distances from a fixed line d, where e > 1. We obtain a hyperbola in standard form if the focus F lies on the x-axis, and has coordinates (ae, 0), where a > 0; the directrix d is the line with equation x = a/e.
1.1 Early observations Some of the earliest observations of macromolecules within living cells were of nucleic acids in the form of chromosomes. These long dark-staining objects, which became visible in the nucleus of cells at specific stages of cell division, were large enough to be detected using primitive light microscopes. Giant polytene chromosomes, found in certain cells such as the salivary gland cells of Drosophila (see Figure 1a), contain many thousands of copies of each chromosomal DNA align
9.52-C Computational Cognitive Science (MIT)
An introduction to computational theories of human cognition. Emphasizes questions of inductive learning and inference, and the representation of knowledge. Project required for graduate credit. This class is suitable for intermediate to advanced undergraduates or graduate students specializing in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and related fields.

(You do not need to memorise this value.) As temperature increases, the speed increases slightly. Speed, frequency and wavelength are related by the formula v = f × λ. Other forms of this relationship are f = v/λ and λ = v/f. Because the speed is approximately constant, it follows that frequency and wavelength are inversely pr

James and Jean Davis Prestige Visiting Fellow, Professor Don McRae C.C delivers a public lecture on 'The Evolution of International Law: Challenges and Prospects'. The lecture focuses on the changes that have occurred in the field of international law over the past 50 years, and the challenges that these developments pose for both the theory and practice of international law including its legitimacy.
This Berkley Center conference will look at critical questions for a twenty-first century application of Just War theory to war?s end (jus post bellum) in three key areas: the theoretical underpinnings of jus post bellum, issues for settlements and post-conflict arrangements, and operational considerations for practitioners engaged in late- and post-conflict planning.
