Earthquake Investigations
From Dragonfly TV. Claire and Nisha live in San Francisco, a place where earthquakes are NOT science fiction! The girls wondered if they could learn how the earth moves in an earthquake by looking around the city. Their DTV question to be investigated in this episode: How does the earth move when there's an earthquake?
Generic Representations and the Generic Grid: Knowledge Interface, Organisation and Support of the (
Computer Aided Design requires the implementation of architectural issues in order to support the architectural design process. These issues consist of elements, knowledge structures, and design processes that are typical for architectural design. The paper introduces two concepts that aim to define and model some of such architectural issues: building types and design processes. The first concept, the Generic grid, will be shown to structure the description of designs, provide a form-based hier
City Dwelling and the Cultures of Migrant Urbanism
This Anthropology Departmental Seminar (19 October 2012), is presented by Professor Michael Keith, the Director of the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society, Oxford.
Offshore Wind Farm Design
This course makes students familiar with the design of offshore wind farms in general and focusses on the foundation design in particular. The course is based on actual cases of real offshore wind farms that have been built recently or will be built in the near future.
Force and Strategy
This course examines the political, economic,military, and ethical factors affecting the use and utility of military force in international relations. Students will study the political and decision-making process by which nations decide to use military force as well as the major arms control agreements of the post-World War II period, including negotiations currently under way.
International Multilateral Negotiation
The seminar focuses on negotiated decision-making in multilateral settings. It will survey process issues such as: the differences between bilateral and multilateral negotiations, the particular problems of negotiations involving a very large number of parties, the complexities of issue-linkage, managed negotiation processes, the role of coalitions, conference diplomacy, treaty negotiations, knowledge in negotiation, etc. These topics will be discussed in the context of case studies dealing with

Power, Work and the Waterwheel
Waterwheels are devices that generate power and do work. Students construct a waterwheel using two-liter bottles, dowel rods and index cards, and calculate the power created and work done by them.
Work and Power: Waterwheel
Investigating a waterwheel illustrates to students the physical properties of energy. They learn that the concept of work, force acting over a distance, differs from power, which is defined as force acting over a distance over some period of time. Students create a model waterwheel and use it to calculate the amount of power produced and work done.

In June 2000, the Fourteenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties was held to review the progress of thermophysics over the last 100 years and to look forward to the next century of research and development in thermophysics. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a special publication online covering the event, including overviews of topical issues by professionals in the field and several brief, invited essays on issues raised in the forum by panelists, audience pa

The inaugural issue of the IEEE Power and Energy magazine, which premiered in January 2003, is available online with unrestricted access for a limited time. The five featured articles cover the areas of "distributed generation, 'green' power, and power engineering education." Additionally, a focus on security considers what is being done to protect the energy grid from terrorist acts. Other columns of Power and Energy highlight history, industry news, standards, and opinion articles.

One of AustraliaÂ’s largest electricity companies, Ergon Energy has a Web site that contains a good educational area called Energy. Kids can learn how energy is created using coal, geothermal power, hydro power, landfills, nuclear power, solar power, sugar cane, wind power, and wave-tidal power. Other links on the site provide quizzes and activities categorized by age group with titles such as make a solar water heater, make an electromagnet, school energy audit, and make an electric motor, amon

Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2)
This website is an intermediate on-line textbook on the fundamentals of flight. Initially, this resource examines different kinds of flight. Specifically gliding and true flight are explored. Further topics in the principles of flight will cover aeronautics, the movement of fluids, water and liquids, movement of air, measurements, properties of flight, air moving objects, and forces in flight. This resource also provides fundamentals of flight references. Copyright 2005 International Technology
