Winter Lecture Series - 2009: Ten things the alcohol industry won't tell you about alcohol
Professor Sellman believes New Zealand is currently in the midst of a national alcohol crisis judging by health and crime statistics. As Director of the National Addiction Centre in Christchurch since 1996 – he is passionate about the right of consumers to know the other side of the alcohol story – its carcinogenic qualities to name just one. This lecture is the prelude to a national alcohol campaign.

The problem seems to be that some see it as the addition of a poison, and others see it as the use of mass medication whether the individual wishes it or not. Many waters do, however, have a natural fluoride content (Figure 33) and it has been suggested that the presence of fluoride in a concentration of 1.0 mg l−1 is beneficial in preventing dental decay. Above this concentration there is the 2.1 The importance of sine waves For much of the rest of this unit we shall be concerned with the properties of a type of sound wave that when represented as a graph has a characteristic shape known as a sine wave. Figure 1 shows you what a sine-wave graph looks like. For the moment you need not be concerned with what this grap 07A - Néodocument : Métadonnées (CN15-16) (Vidéo) Cours commun de culture numérique 2015-2016 - Hervé Le Crosnier M1-DNR2i,

Mission into distant space Season 3 – Lesson 20 – Coffee Break Spanish Episode 20 features the fourth installment of our ‘telenovela’, Verano Español. Find out the latest about the life of Laura and her mother as they spend the summer in Spain en la casa de tÃa Julia. Will Laura find out a little more about the mystery customer in the panaderÃa? Please note that lesson 20 of Season 3 was originally known as lesson 320 of Coffee Break Spanish. We have renumbered the lessons of each season as lessons 1- 5.2 Conflict and consensus The diverse forms of conflict that have marked long periods of European history hardly require further emphasis here. The first half of the twentieth century, in particular, was clearly dominated by what many have described as a European civil war. Since 1945, in marked contrast, the western part of the continent has been increasingly dominated by a growing number of freely associated countries in the name of a newly constituted ‘Europe’. It has been remarkably successful in developing me 2.2.1 Summary Children's developing understanding of gender can be described as a search for certainty. Young children make mistakes about gender illustrating their rigidity and their naive certainty regarding gender. As children's knowledge of gender grows in complexity, basic biological knowledge is added to their social-cultural understanding. Research by Francis illustrating girls' ‘sensible-selfless’ and boys' â Ecological Validity of Real Scale Models Introduction This unit is an adapted extract from the course Pure mathematics
(M208) The idea of vectors and conics may be new to you. In this unit we look at some of the ways that we represent points, lines and planes in mathematics. In Section 1 we revise coordinate geometry in two-dimensional Euclidean space, 2.3 Is religion a museum piece? We have used the video sequence below to highlight the emic/etic problem and we would like you to carry out a short exercise using it to consolidate your understanding of these terms. The video introduces St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow, which has been described as the first public museum of religion in the world. Do note, however, that the Museum of Religions at the University of Marburg, Germany was founded in 1927 by Rudolf Otto. It contains a considerable number 3.2 What does a processor look like? So what do these devices that are manufactured in such vast quantities look like? Processors are manufactured as integrated circuits. Essentially they are circuits, around the size of a fingernail, which contain many millions of electronic components manufactured as one very complex circuit. Figure 4(a) shows how a processor manufactured as an integrated circuit is packaged so it can be used as a component in an electronic circuit. The pins of the package are connected to the integrated circu 1.2 The growth of the legal system The legal system plays a significant and growing role in society as our lives become governed by an increasing number of laws. As our society has become more sophisticated, a greater number of laws have been required. This in turn has resulted in our legal system becoming increasingly more complex. Changes in technology, the way in which we live and the types of relationships we have are all reflected by the law. Society expects the law to reflect its ideas, values and culture, so the law has 3.4 Further exercises (a) Find the angle between each of the pairs of vectors: (3, 1) and (1, −2); i + 2j and −3i + j − 2k. 5.4.6 Adapt your strategy to overcome difficulties Often plans run into difficulties because of unforeseen problems or changing circumstances. For example you may be running over your deadlines, the resources or support available to you may have changed, or your personal circumstances may have changed. Plans are only a means to an end, however. If you run into difficulties, take some time to think about what effect these difficulties are having on your plans, and what changes you may need to make to your overall strategy to achieve the outcom 1.2.1 Try some yourself A friend is painting the inside walls of a garage. So far she has used a 2 litre tin of emulsion paint and covered an area of 9 m2. She needs some more paint. How much more would you advise her to 10.1 Introduction For a variety of reasons, not least the very wide dynamic range of human hearing, the decibel (symbol dB) is often used as a unit for the amplitude of sound waves. The decibel is also used in other contexts, such as specifying the amplification of amplifiers or the degree to which a signal is affected by noise. In the context of sound, the use of the decibel as a unit captures something of the subjective impression of the way loudness changes with amplitude. The decibel unit has

A short introduction to this album.
The micrograph shows a regularly stepped interface boundary between h-BN (precipitate) and Si3N4 grains (within a silicon nitride particulate-reinforced silicon carbide composite). The occurrence of BN inclusions results from the introduction of colloidal BN into the hot isostatic pressing process. They are formed from B2O3 present as a thin surface film on the BN particles in the barrier layer. B2O3 will be molten during the pressing process and will diffuse rapidly into the powder compact and
In this public lecture, astrophysicist Dr Chris North takes its audience on a journey through space to understand the most distant stars and galaxies, exploring the findings of the Herschel Space Observatory. Dr North has worked on a number of space missions and is currently part of the Herschel Observatory team, looking at far-infrared light from stars forming in our galaxy and across the Universe.Author(s):

Space simulation is a technique employed by architects, urban designers, environmental psychologists and other related specialists. It is used for academic and research purposes, as an aid to evaluate the impact that the built environment or that to be built would yield in potential or real users. Real Scale Model is organized as one of the models which represents more reliable spatial characteristics in space simulations. However, it is necessary to know the ecological validity of the simulat
