Introduction Do you want to improve your ability to subtract one number from another, especially if decimals are involved, without having to rely on a calculator? This course will help you get to grips with subtraction and give you some practice in doing it. You can start with some practice in subtracting small numbers in your head if you want to. Then we will show you how to subtract bigger numbers on paper. Finally we look at how to subtract decimal numbers. You don’t need to complete th

An Interactive Database (HizmO) for Reconstructing Lost Modernist Izmir:
The research project in progress in the School of Architecture at the Izmir Institute of Technology includes documentation and reconstruction (by 3D modeling in electronic media) of damaged and lost early modern buildings in the Izmir region. The research aims to analyze the differences between Izmir modern buildings and Universal Modern Style, and preserve information on architectural heritage for future generations. The project is at the phase of developing an interactive web-based historical
Seeing Texas Tech Mascot As A Kid Influenced Former Masked Rider
While attending a parade in Midland, Texas, former Masked Rider Perry Joe Church knew that is what he wanted to do someday.
Later, Church was given that opportunity while attending college at Texas Tech by representing the school as the Masked Rider from 1982-1983. He still recalls the excitement of running onto the field during football games and being a part of one of Texas Tech's most beloved traditions.
Architecture as Drawing, Perception and Cognition
This work is about realizing that human perception is inherent to architecture. It is an asset and a trait subject to training and development in an empirical way, involving physical and manual action. It cannot be taught literally through convention and logic reasoning. It is a human achievement of great significance built on intellectual and scientific knowledge. It is something, being physical and empirical, that is supported on instrumental procedure. The computer, as a machine and an instru
Economics Of Migration [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Alan Manning | Immigration is currently the most common response when asked about the most important issues facing Britain. This lecture will explain why there is a demand for immigration into the UK, and what the effects of it has been. Alan Manning is Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science and is Director of the Centre for Economic Performance’s research programme on Community. The Department of Economics at LSE (@LSEEcon) is one
1 Developing reading skills John Clarke and course team member Ross Fergusson, look at developing reading skills in the context of Social Science resources, with suggestions on how to read such materials critically and effectively. The material is primarily an audio file, 11 minutes in length and recorded in 1998. Participants in the audio programme were: John Clarke Professor of Social Policy at The Open University; Ross Ferguson Social Scie
2.1 Building a believable world Writing is a perceptual art, one in which images are created via language in order for the reader to make meaning. It is therefore imperative that the writer's powers of perception are alert. Writing is a process of becoming aware, of opening the senses to ways of grasping the world, ways that may previously have been blocked. Often we take the world around us for granted, we are so immersed in habit. All of our lives contain relative degrees of routine. We go to sleep, we eat, we go to work.
1.4 Protein tertiary structure The term ‘tertiary structure’ when applied to a protein refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of the polypeptide as a whole, i.e. the spatial relationship between its elements of secondary structure. Though it may not be immediately obvious, proteins do follow certain recognisable folding patterns. Examination of protein structures resolved by X-ray diffraction and NMR has revealed a variety of folding patterns common to many different proteins. However, even within these fold
2.2.2 Mass production In many industries, craft manufacturing began to be replaced by mass production in the 19th century. Mass production involves producing goods in high volume with low variety – the opposite of craft manufacturing. Customers are expected to buy what is supplied, rather than goods made to their own specifications. Producers concentrated on keeping costs, and hence prices, down by minimising the variety of both components and products and setting up large production runs. They developed aggress
1.8 ‘Ethics’, ‘ethical’ and authority There is some confusion over the uses of the terms ‘ethical’ and ‘ethics’. Often people use the adjective ‘ethical’ to signal things that they would expect virtuous people to do. That is they use the word ‘ethical’ instead of ‘good’. Companies, institutions and even governments might claim to have ‘ethical’ policies. Probably such a policy declares the ideology. For example, saying that ‘sustainability is ethical’ may be part of an individual's ethic but it is a ta

WHITEOUT: Topological evolution of embedded geometries
Whiteout documents the design, fabrication and installation of a full scale prototype using a predictive mesh relaxation algorithm while the physical construct made from white spandex fabric, steel tube, wood members and aluminum connectors verifies the virtual assumptions.
Williamsburg's Indian School
The Indian School at the College of William and Mary was conceived for the religious conversion of Indians. Professor Jim Axtell shares the storied building's history.

ESD.68J Communications and Information Policy (MIT)
This course provides an introduction to the technology and policy context of public communications networks, through critical discussion of current issues in communications policy and their historical roots. The course focuses on underlying rationales and models for government involvement and the complex dynamics introduced by co-evolving technologies, industry structure, and public policy objectives. Cases drawn from cellular, fixed-line, and Internet applications include evolution of spectrum
3.5.3 Mechano-electrical transduction is rapid Many other sensory receptors, such as photoreceptors and olfactory neurons, employ second messengers in the transduction process. This is not true for hair cells. The rapidity with which they respond makes this impossible. In order to deal with the frequencies of biologically relevant stimuli, transduction must be rapid. The highest frequency humans can hear is about 20 000 Hz. This in effect means that hair cells must be able to turn current on and off 20 000 times per second (200 000 tim
Larry Fink: The Boxing Photographs
August 11, 2018 - January 1, 2019: Larry Fink’s powerful, unsentimental photographs reveal the heart of close-knit communities. Here, he takes us inside what he calls “the deep fraternity” of the boxing gym, its intimacy and its grit, captured in more than seventy-five luminous gelatin-silver prints. Featured in the series are Philadelphia’s own Blue Horizon—one of the great American boxing arenas—and the local fighters who’ve had their dreams realized, or dashed, withi
7.4 The impact of technology on society Engineering is apparently driven by the needs of society. The technology that results, in turn, drives other changes in our everyday lives. One of the basic needs identified in Section 2 was for shelter. There are many fine examples of long-surviving structures such as pyramids, aqueducts, bridges, walls, functional buildings, and so on. Remarkably these constructions were completed without the depth of analysis and understanding that is available today (though we don't necessarily know much
How DNA Works – The Way DNA Duplicates Itself
DNA replication is a fundamental process occurring in all living
organisms that copies their DNA. This process is “semiconservative” in
that each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as
template for the reproduction of the complementary strand. Watch this
educational video on the process in which DNA duplicates itself.
