7.4 Models of active galaxies The standard model of an AGN consists of an accreting supermassive black hole (the engine) surrounded by a broad-line region contained within a torus of infrared emitting dust and a narrow-line region. Unified models attempt to explain the range of AGNs on the assumption that they differ only in luminosity and the angle at which they are viewed. One type of model attempts to unify radio-quiet AGNs. Type 1 Seyferts and type

7.7 Physical hazards In any laboratory, potential hazards arise from the use of electrical equipment. The legal requirements relating to the use and maintenance of such equipment are contained in the ‘Electricity at Work Regulations 1989’ (EAW). The regulations require certain safety objectives to be achieved but do not prescribe in detail the measures to be taken. Instead, precautions should be selected appropriate to risk depending on particular work activities. ‘Portable’ electrical equipment –

“Fungal footbaths” could save the honey bee
Globally, the honey bee population is in decline. This has serious implications for the cross pollination of commercial crops and wild plants. One of the major causes of this decline is the “Varroa Destructor” mite. However, researchers at Warwick University may have found a natural solution to this problem. Dr Dave Chandler from Warwick HRI explains how.

If the twentieth century was the century of physics, the twenty-first promises to be the century of biology. This subject examines the cultural, political, and economic dimensions of biology in the age of genomics, biotechnological enterprise, biodiversity conservation, pharmaceutical bioprospecting, and synthetic biology. Although we examine such social concerns as bioterrorism, genetic modification, and cloning, this is not a class in bioethics, but rather an anthropological inquiry into how t
Can innovation save the world? If so, what will it take to be more innovative?
Firms and governments across Europe and North America are banking on innovation, or the successful commercial exploitation of new ideas, to kick start economies and help save the west from the current economic crisis and looming recession. Professor Jaideep Prabhu at Judge Business School challenges the consensus that legislation at country level is the best way to boost the ability to innovate within firms and countries. He argues instead that in today's rush to innovate, the successful economi

10.1 Absolute thresholds The human ear has incredible absolute sensitivity and dynamic range. The most intense sound we can hear without immediate damage to the ear is at least 140 dB above the faintest sound we can just detect. This corresponds to an intensity ratio of 100Â 000Â 000Â 000Â 000:1. In this section, we examine how the loudness of a sound can be measured and how the perception of loudness is affected by the intensity and duration of the signal. You know from Author(s):

Apr. 13 - A team of self-described geeks in Taipei have taken to the streets on a bicycle equipped with a 3D printer which they're using to turn plastic waste into useful products. They call their printer the "Mobile Fab" and say it not only helps promote recycling, but also demonstrates how technology can be applied in a socially responsible way. Tara Cleary reports.

4.1.1 More on trilobites Many thousands of trilobite species are known, mostly from Cambrian to Silurian rocks, and all were confined to the Palaeozoic Era. By the time trilobites became extinct in the late Permian, their diversity had dwindled to a small number of species, and the group was long past its peak. The variation in trilobite form is enormous, but the basic three-lobed division of the exoskeleton is always present. The number of trunk segments varies from 2 to 40. Not all have eyes. Most are about 2-10 cm
