Mars Dead or Alive: Where to Land?
It is not easy to get to Mars. Dozens of past missions have failed, with only a handful even attempting to land on the planet's surface. However, in January 2004, careful planning paid off when the Mars Exploration Rover mission successfully landed two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. In this video segment from NOVA, learn how scientists and engineers decided where to land the rovers.
Massive database shows state judges are not representative of the people they serve
Forty-one states earn a "D" or "F" when it comes to how well their courts reflect the race, ethnicity and gender of the people they serve.

4.42J Fundamentals of Energy in Buildings (MIT)
4.42J (or 2.66J or 1.044J), Fundamentals of Energy in Buildings, is an undergraduate class offered in the Department of Architecture, and jointly in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It provides a first course in thermo-sciences for students primarily interested in architecture and building technology. Throughout the course, the fundamentals important to energy, ventilation, air conditioning and comfort in buildings are intro
Second Set - 100 High-Frequency Words
This is set 2 of 100 high-frequency words. Each word appears on the screen in large print as a child's voice says the word aloud. This would be a great large group or small group activity. (03:29)
Mars Rover
Describes the various steps that entailed the successful landing of the Mars rover on the surface of Mars along with photos of its landing site.
Thunderstorms - A Simple Introduction with Time-Lapse Photography
This video introduces two important and simple concepts that help us understand thunderstorms. We use two Tiwi Island "Hector" thunderstorms in different wind environments as examples. With the use of time-lapse photography we can see the effects of this wind shear on the storms. (13:07)
3.3 Care: a contested word You have seen that the words used to label people who are seen as needing care can stigmatise them. By picking them out as unlike ‘normal’ people, people who do not need care, they can feel belittled, de-humanised and deprived of respect. But it is not just the labels like ‘mentally handicapped’, ‘lunatic’ or ‘mentally ill’ that are at issue. ‘Care’ as a word is itself under attack: The t 2.4 Components, causes and effects In this section, I shall say a little more about the shape that we might expect an answer to the ‘What is…?’ question to take. In particular, I would like consider some different claims about the way in which an emotional occurrence is related to other types of occurrence. Here is a story. Larry is told by his manager, Bella, that the project that he has been working on for months has been shelved: all his hard work has been wasted. Larry hears Bella telling him the news as Synaesthesia and Citizen Science Meet the Numbers 1 Through 10 5.3.2 Effects of structure on viscoelasticity If a single measurement of ER(t) is taken at an arbitrary but fixed interval of time, say 10 seconds, then it will vary with temperature in a way rather similar to the viscoelastic master curve. Such a curve for atactic polystyrene is shown in Figure 48, where the various zones of behaviour are identif La médecine et la négation de la mort (video)
Didier Sicard évoque les différents aspects de la mort, comme la mort évacuée, celle des autres. La mort est absente du cursus universitaire, elle fait d'ailleurs fuir les étudiants. La mort est un tabou et l'hôpital est un lieu où la mort est escamotée. Les soins palliatifs qui sont en régression en 2005 posent aussi parfois le problème du respect de l'intimité du patient avec la mort.
1.1.2 Activity 1 You have already glanced at Figure 1 and some o 2007.09.13-Democracy as an Ongoing Project 7.3.6 Laser ablation deposition Another close cousin to sputter deposition is laser ablation deposition. Ion bombardment of the target is replaced by a focused pulse of light from an ultraviolet laser. Although each pulse may carry only 1 J of energy, this is delivered within 1 ns to a 1 mm spot on the target surface. This represents an astonishing power density and the target surface explodes into vapour that can be caught on the waiting wafer surface. It is vital to scan the focus point across the target surface or you wi Deuxième session : Régulation du religieux et opinion publique : la traduction médiatique en ...

« From Respected Religion Scholar Expert to Cartoon: The Fate of a Religion Scholar Going Public? 3 Finding and evaluating OERs When seeking content for adaptation and re-use in open educational contexts there are several tools available to support discovery. Many of these tools are the result of experimental prototyping and short-term funded projects, however, and therefore carry with them a certain amount of risk. Not all are sustained beyond the life of the funding, but these initiatives have sought to use a variety of search technologies to support the discovery of generic and domain-specific OERs. As we move forw 6.5.4 Monitor and critically reflect on your use of IL skills As you develop your information literacy skills, refer back to the outcomes you hope to achieve and goals you have set yourself. Ask yourself questions such as: am I on track to achieve my outcomes? what difficulties in using information literacy techniques have I experienced and what have I done about them? how have the choices and decisions I made impacted on the quality of my work? do I need to mak
