10 Course summary The course began by considering what factors contribute to individual differences. The case was made, with the spiders, and later with genetic diseases, that the genome was very important. Subsequent sections revealed that the external environment (e.g. maternal care, the presence of light) and the internal environment (e.g. hormones and drugs) were very important and that they can both shape and determine the development of the organism. Environmental factors, in the form of hormones and dru
4.7 Photographs showing the detail: damage to pier 1 The final example of a partly collapsed pier is pier 1, photographed from the base of pier 28 and shown in Figure 32. Fracture damage to the flange at the top of the second tier is visible on the east-most column (top right); a large chunk of metal has broken off. The southern column (right of centre) exhibits
4.3.2 Setting goals and objectives Whatever the structure and culture of an organisation and the range of people involved, goals and objectives are usually seen as a valuable management tool. This is as relevant to a project team as it is to a whole organisation. What I will focus on here are some of the tensions and ambiguities surrounding the management of goals, especially in the context of team development. To be effective in clarifying and achieving the team task, we need to take account of the variety of (often conflicti
4.3 Focus–directrix definitions of the non-degenerate conics Earlier, we defined the conic sections as the curves of intersection of planes with a double cone. One of these conic sections, the circle, can be defined as the set of points a fixed distance from a fixed point. Here we define the other non-degenerate conics, the parabola, ellipse and hyperbola, as sets of points that satisfy a somewhat similar condition. These three non-degenerate conics (the parabola, ellipse and hyperbola) can be defined as the set of points P in

Each source that you use will probably look quite different from the one you tried before, but you'll notice that there are always features that are similar – a box to type your search terms in, for instance, or a clickable help button. Different resources refer to the same functions using different terminology, but the principles behind them are exactly the same.

In video clips the history of the incredible shrinking chip, its Scottish connections and an explanation of the physics that make chips work are accompanied by a reconstruction of the making of a transistor using the crude techniques of yesteryear.

The flattening is not really apparent in Figure 9.1, because the terminator (the day-night boundary) is within the left-hand edge of the visible half of the globe.

The practice of systematic scepticism is a key aspect of social science, particularly in the analysis of common sense and the consideration of the social construction of social problems. Social constructionism emphasises the importance of social expectations in the analysis of taken-for-granted and apparently natural social processes. It starts by exploring the assumptions associated with the naming or labelling of things. It is sceptical ab 2.3 Newsgathering and newspapers

Leon Bellan made a dissolving circuit board that, so far, just turns on an LED light. Its potential applications are far more promising.
Les thèmes des séminaires ici proposés s’inspirent largement de ceux développés dans l’ouvrage « Caractérisation microstructurale des matériaux : Analyse par les rayonnements X et électronique » publié dans la collection METIS Lyon Tech et édité par les Presses polytechniques et Universitaires Romandes en 2011. Le contenu de ces séminaires se veut être une présentation illustrative de plusieurs développements menés dans l’ouvrage mais aussi il offre souvent l’occasion d
