SAVE - Sustainable Energy in the COMMUNITY
This resource aims to support school students pursuing entry level
qualifications to the elctro-technology industry. The resource addresses the Certificate
II in Sustainable Energy (Career Start).
Safe handling of sharps
Identifying and minimising sharps risks by proper handling
and disposal practices, and responding to sharps injury, particularly in health care
settings.
Handle food hygienically
As a food handler it is vital for you to know about and follow safe
food handling practices. This is to prevent food safety hazards that may lead to food
poisoning or even the spread of disease in your workplace. You will need to understand the
key risks to food contamination, and the correct practices that need to be followed at each
stage of food production. This learning object contains information, resources and
activities to help you: identify food sa
Cleaning up and setting up - a scenario for health care workers
A scenario set in a dental surgery involving cleaning up
after patients, observing and advising another worker about potential infection
risks, and cleaning up a mess after someone has vomited in the toilets. The scenario
includes two interactive situations and one which requires completion of an Activity
Report.
Dealing with blood and other body fluids
Identifying infection risks of body fluids and body tissue.
Dealing with spills and incidents involving body fluids and/or body tissue,
particularly in health care settings.
Conduct risk assessment - Public Safety (Community Safety)
Conduct the first four steps in the risk assessment process:
establish the context, identify risks, analyse risks, and evaluate risks. Covers
competencies from the unit PUAEMR007A Conduct risk assessment from the Public Safety
(Community Safety) Training Package (PUA41101).
Ganglion Cysts
This patient education program discusses ganglion cysts including their anatomy, symptoms, treatments, surgical treatment, and the benefits and risks of surgery. This resource is a MedlinePlus Interactive Health Tutorial from the National Library of Medicine, designed and developed by the Patient Education Institute.
Open-celled aluminium foam
Although the processing route is complicated and the product expensive, there is a high degree of control over the cell structure of such foams and the final shape can be controlled to meet near-net-shape requirements.
Anatomy of a Volcano
In this interactive activity from NOVA Online, explore the main features of the Nyiragongo volcano, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and learn what risks it poses to the 500,000 people who live in its shadow.
6.441 Transmission of Information (MIT)
6.441 offers an introduction to the quantitative theory of information and its applications to reliable, efficient communication systems. Topics include: mathematical definition and properties of information; source coding theorem, lossless compression of data, optimal lossless coding; noisy communication channels, channel coding theorem, the source-channel separation theorem, multiple access channels, broadcast channels, Gaussian noise, and time-varying channels.
6 Phylogeny and cladistic analysis In Section 3.3 the point was made that many physiologists consider that desert birds are successful because of their avian physiology, not because of any specific adaptations. While Williams and Tieleman's research on hoopoe larks demonstrated that desert species are capable of flexibility in metabolic rate and evaporative water loss, it suggested that adaptation is important too. The selective advantages of lowered BMR and TEWL for desert birds include reduced energy demand, and lower produc
Social Care: Past and Present
Issues surrounding care and welfare affect people in many different ways - it may depend on individual circumstances or on the location and nature of the community. The tracks on this album look at welfare issues faced by different communities across the UK, focusing mainly on care of the elderly, and people with physical or mental disabilities. The album also explores how care and welfare in the community has changed over the years. This material was part of The Open University course K202 C
Virtual yeast cell
This rich learning object is used to introduce yeast cytology to students taking Module D24BS3 Brewery Yeast Management as part of the MSc in Brewing Science. The virtual cell permits the students to understand structure and function of yeast organelles.
FOAMCARP closed cell aluminium foam
Additions such as SiC are made to molten aluminium or aluminium alloy to modify the melt viscosity and make it suitable for foaming. Calcium carbonate is then added to the melt which is solidified to form a precursor which can be foamed in a controlled manner by a subsequent heat treatment. The resulting foam has a fine and relatively uniform cell structure.
High magnification SEM image of open cell polyurethane foam
If a gas is injected into a liquid it forms a cellular foam structure. When a thermoset prepolymer of low viscosity is foamed, the polymer can drain from the cell walls (driven by surface tension) before it sets at the cell edges, leaving an open-celled foam. The cell edges have three concave sides, and some remnants of collapsed cell walls can be seen at the cell edges.
FORMGRIP closed cell aluminium foam
Additions such as SiC are made to molten aluminium or aluminium alloy to modify the melt viscosity and make it suitable for foaming. 1 to 3 wt% of pre-oxidised titanium hydride is then added to the melt which is solidified to form a precursor which can be foamed in a controlled manner by a subsequent heat treatment. The resulting foam has a relatively fine and uniform cell structure.
High carbon steel
Treated at 1000 centigrade for 15 minutes and then isothermally treated at 200 centigrade for 4 days, start of bainite transformation. This micrograph shows a lath of bainitic-ferrite growing into a grain of austenite and the dislocation field generated by the displacive transformation.

"Object orientation" What's it all about?
introduction to object orientation including design and analysis methods, benefits, pros and cons To appreciate: what is meant by “object-orientation’ how it arose why it is a useful approach
3.6 The signed area under a constant velocity-time graph There is a simple feature of uniform velocity-time graphs that will be particularly useful to know about when we come to consider non-uniform motion in the next section. It concerns the relationship between the velocity-time graph and the change in position over a given time interval. Consider the following problem. A vehicle travels at a velocity vx = 12 m s−1 for 4 s. By how much does its position change over that interval? The answer, from Equati
