3.5 Velocity-time and speed-time graphs Just as we may plot the position-time graph or the displacement-time graph of a particular motion, so we may plot a velocity-time graph for that motion. By convention, velocity is plotted on the vertical axis (since velocity is the dependent variable) and time (the independent variable) is plotted on the horizontal axis. In the special case of uniform motion, the velocity-time graph takes a particularly simple form - it is just a horizontal line, i.e. the gradient is zero. Examples are
Highlights from the "London Talks" speaker event series
An audience of MBA students got to hear from inspirational and thought provoking leaders including the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Michael Bear, World famous Head Chef Ferran Adria and Explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
5.04 Principles of Inorganic Chemistry II (MIT)
This course provides a systematic presentation of the chemical applications of group theory with emphasis on the formal development of the subject and its applications to the physical methods of inorganic chemical compounds. The electronic structure of molecules will be developed. Against this backdrop, the optical, vibrational, and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes are presented and their investigation by the appropriate spectroscopy is described.

Leaf Cutter Ants
Lumberjacks should be envious! With jaws vibrating a thousand times per second these ants cut leaves fast! Watch this movie to see these ants in action. Professional, close-up footage and narration from National Geographic. The video could be a cute introduction to a lesson about the herbivore. Run time 02:05.
Les volcans (video)
Les volcans sont responsables de la formation de notre atmosphère et des continents, qui sont en quelque sorte l'écume magmatique de la Terre. Ils sont aussi un précieux outil d'échantillonnage de l'intérieur de la Terre, et leurs laves portent des informations précieuses sur la composition des roches profondes et inaccessibles dont elles sont issues. Il faut enfin voir chaque volcan comme le résultat superficiel des mouvements internes de grande ampleur qui affectent notre planète d
18.385J Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (MIT)
This graduate level course focuses on nonlinear dynamics with applications. It takes an intuitive approach with emphasis on geometric thinking, computational and analytical methods and makes extensive use of demonstration software.
Virtual Maths - Basic Structures, bending moment uniformly distributed load
Interactive simulation demonstrating bending moment of uniformly distributed load
Images of the Earth
Structure: Three credits. Three lecture hours per week (45 total hours).
This is an introduction to the new, rapidly evolving, and interdisciplinary field of Earth System Science. This course emphasizes the ideas of Earth as a planet within the solar system; the interactions among the components of the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere; and global changes. Studying Earth as a system is accomplished by the analysis of remote sensing data. Images acquired by airborne and spaceborn
Learning spaces: evaluation
A presentation which provides an overview of key research questions relating to the development of fit for purpose learning spaces
Jumping about in applied probability
Professor Andreas Kyprianou from the Department of Mathematical Sciences gives a gentle introduction to probability theory and its pivotal role in current mathematics research.
Concerns of Biometrics Presentation on high security and the concerns with biometric technology.
The listening room, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham : A gallery installation and an offsite project
The three upper galleries of Ikon house two variants of The Listening Room. Each installation amplifies the sound of a gallery in real time, introducing low-volume feedback, pitches delineated by the architectural characteristics of the space and modulated by the transient nature of people passing through.
In between is the central gallery, a space where the sound of the two Listening Rooms actively mixes and merges, allowing the two activated spaces to affect each other - in a very real sen

Réduction de la mortalité maternelle - Dakar 2010 : l’Education Pour la Santé vue d’en bas.
Bien que l’analyse des problèmes institutionnels soit essentielle pour comprendre la faible performance de l’EPS, l’auteur aborde surtout la question des rapports entre le dispositif technique et les populations locales. De quelle manière ces populations réagissent-elles aux messages de l’EPS et pourquoi ?

In the electrical engineering, solid-state materials and the properties play an essential role. A thorough understanding of the physics of metals, insulators and semiconductor materials is essential for designing new electronic devices and circuits. After short introduction of the IC fabrication process, the course starts with the crystallography. This will be followed by the basic principle of the quantum mechanics, the sold-state physics, band-structure and the relation with electrical propert
This page, in the National Academy Press website, gives the table of content of the book in the title of this site. As one of the "openbooks" from this press, the site allows one to search the book (approximately 400 pages) as well as download the complete book or selected portions of it. The site will be most useful to an analytical scientist interested in reading about current learning theories.
