Matariki Humanities Colloquium 2014: Communicating the Humanities: a perspective from the University
This lecture, given by Professor Tony Ballantyne, Head of the Department of History and Art History, University of Otago, explores some of the challenges and opportunities that are facing scholars in the Humanities in New Zealand.

21W.735 Writing and Reading the Essay (MIT)
As the course title suggests, this class is meant to acquaint you with the literary and rhetorical tradition of the essay, a genre which has been described by one scholar as "the meeting ground between art and philosophy," and by another as "the place where the self finds a pattern in the world, and the world finds a pattern in the self". Though the essay is part of a tradition of prose which stretches back to antiquity, it is also a thoroughly modern and popular form of writing, found in print

Salerno 7.2 Site-directed mutagenesis The application of site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) to the study of protein function has been illustrated with the enzyme lysozyme, as described previously. SDM is a very powerful technique in the study of protein function, allowing the experimenter to assess the importance of particular amino acid side-chains in a protein. It is most commonly used in the study of enzymes; however, it is also very useful in identifying key residues in protein–protein interactions. In this section, we will co 5.1.4 History There is no general dictionary or companion to the study of history as such.

The extract you will look at in the following activity is taken from an Introduction to a four-volume collection of readings on Family: Critical Concepts in Sociology. In this Introduction, the author seeks to find a way of defining family that will work across the four volumes of readings on 4.3.4 Removal of NO Laboratory experiments have shown that, under the conditions in the catalytic converter, the decomposition of NO to O2 and N2 over noble metal catalysts is too slow to be significant. When the A/F ratio is stoichiometric (or below stoichiometry), NO can be removed by reduction with CO and/or hydrocarbons. For simplicity we shall consider only reduction with CO, as with the oxidation reaction, the situation with hydrocarbons is considerably more complicated.

In planning of community-facilities, it is important to decide the facility location to provide the effective service for residents. The behavior of residents using the facility and the evaluation methods of the location have been studied. But, finding the optimum location is very hard in actual planning because the volume of calculation depends on the number of feasible locating points of facilities. To conquer the difficulty of searching the optimum location, we propose an optimization method
