1 People-centred designing This unit provides a taster of one of the most important concerns in product design - that the things we interact with with are both understandable and usable. Equal Rights and Equal Dignity of Human Beings [Audio] 4.2 DDT: a classic case in ecotoxicology DDT is very effective in controlling pests, being very toxic to insects, and is cheap to produce. Its effectiveness is enhanced because it is very persistent, remaining active in the environment for a long time. This increases its value as an insecticide to farmers because one application lasts a long time, but is also a major reason why it poses a threat to wildlife and to human health. Although the agricultural use of DDT was banned in most developed countries 30 years ago, it can still be Resource #16612 Spiders Alive! Opens July 28 1.1 Introducing the decimal system of numbers Many different systems for writing numbers have been developed over the history of humankind. The easiest way of counting small numbers is to use your fingers, and for this reason many numerical systems, such as the decimal system, are based around the number ten. But what happens when you run out of fingers to count on? Numbering systems get round this problem by using a system of scale in which many small units are represented by a single larger unit, and many of these la 9.2 Background Bellaby, P.

One possibility is to construct a very specific curriculum with clearly defined objectives for both content and processes separately, and possibly with suggested learning activities. However, content and process are two complementary ways of viewing the subject. An alternative is to see the curriculum in Lesson 05 - One Minute Romanian 3.2 The evolution of the EU The EU has grown out of a series of intergovernmental political initiatives which have been expressed in a number of treaties. These treaties form the building blocks that give authority and power to the institutions and law-making bodies of the EU. The process is evolutionary, as treaties are reviewed and amended to reflect both the changing membership and the vision of the EU. The EU is founded on several treaties: The treaty that established t 6.2 Turning the spotlight on your work Having established some general principles, try now to subject your own work to the same scrutiny. Take one of your most recent essays or reports and ask yourself, ‘What does it look like?’ That is, d Multimedia e gravi disabilita Introduction In this unit you will be introduced to a variety of Delacroix’s work and see how his paintings relate to the cultural transition from Enlightenment to Romanticism. You will study Delacroix’s early career, his classical background, the development of Romantic ideas and their incorporation into his work. You will have the opportunity to study some of his most important paintings and compare them to works favouring a Neoclassical approach. You will also be able to see how his themes, s 4.2 Circles Recall that a circle in From Micelles to Materials 5.14 Response and damping You have learned so far in this chapter that when a musician plays an instrument, they force the primary vibrator to vibrate. If the primary vibrator is driven at one of its resonance frequencies, the normal mode of vibration corresponding to that resonance frequency will be excited. Now, in practice it is also true to say that even if the primary vibrator is driven at a frequency close to the resonance frequency, the normal mode will still be excited, but just to a lesser degree. In other wo 8.1 Genes and behaviour In the preceding sections many different proteins have been mentioned. These proteins are the receptors, signals, channels, enzymes, transporters, structural components and transcription factors that enable the nervous system to grow and function. Other proteins (e.g. the actin in muscles) are involved in making limbs move and sense organs function. Any and all behaviour is dependent on these proteins. And as each of these myriad proteins is the product of a gene, it follows that any and all
Speaker(s): Professor Tariq Ramadan | In our globalised world, pluralism is a fact and equality, a hope. We need to start with the basic statement reminding every one of us that we are all equal and we should be treated with the same dignity, whatever our gender, our colour, our religion or our social status. This is elementary, yet forgotten day in, day out. Tariq Ramadan (@TariqRamadan) is a Swiss academic, philosopher and writer. He is Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford Unive

How do you make materials that make themselves? Karen Edler's research looks at ways of getting molecules in solution to find the middle ground between completely dissolving and being totally insoluble, to persuade them to put themselves together into complex and intricate structures.
This work looks at self-assembly in a range of different systems, from lipid nanodiscs through to porous oxides, for applications from catalysis to drug delivery. By attempting to understand how structures form,
