5.04 Principles of Inorganic Chemistry II (MIT)
This course provides a systematic presentation of the chemical applications of group theory with emphasis on the formal development of the subject and its applications to the physical methods of inorganic chemical compounds. The electronic structure of molecules will be developed. Against this backdrop, the optical, vibrational, and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes are presented and their investigation by the appropriate spectroscopy is described.

Leaf Cutter Ants
Lumberjacks should be envious! With jaws vibrating a thousand times per second these ants cut leaves fast! Watch this movie to see these ants in action. Professional, close-up footage and narration from National Geographic. The video could be a cute introduction to a lesson about the herbivore. Run time 02:05.
Les volcans (video)
Les volcans sont responsables de la formation de notre atmosphère et des continents, qui sont en quelque sorte l'écume magmatique de la Terre. Ils sont aussi un précieux outil d'échantillonnage de l'intérieur de la Terre, et leurs laves portent des informations précieuses sur la composition des roches profondes et inaccessibles dont elles sont issues. Il faut enfin voir chaque volcan comme le résultat superficiel des mouvements internes de grande ampleur qui affectent notre planète d
18.385J Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (MIT)
This graduate level course focuses on nonlinear dynamics with applications. It takes an intuitive approach with emphasis on geometric thinking, computational and analytical methods and makes extensive use of demonstration software.
Virtual Maths - Basic Structures, bending moment uniformly distributed load
Interactive simulation demonstrating bending moment of uniformly distributed load
Images of the Earth
Structure: Three credits. Three lecture hours per week (45 total hours).
This is an introduction to the new, rapidly evolving, and interdisciplinary field of Earth System Science. This course emphasizes the ideas of Earth as a planet within the solar system; the interactions among the components of the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere; and global changes. Studying Earth as a system is accomplished by the analysis of remote sensing data. Images acquired by airborne and spaceborn
Learning spaces: evaluation
A presentation which provides an overview of key research questions relating to the development of fit for purpose learning spaces
Jumping about in applied probability
Professor Andreas Kyprianou from the Department of Mathematical Sciences gives a gentle introduction to probability theory and its pivotal role in current mathematics research.
Concerns of Biometrics Presentation on high security and the concerns with biometric technology.
The listening room, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham : A gallery installation and an offsite project
The three upper galleries of Ikon house two variants of The Listening Room. Each installation amplifies the sound of a gallery in real time, introducing low-volume feedback, pitches delineated by the architectural characteristics of the space and modulated by the transient nature of people passing through.
In between is the central gallery, a space where the sound of the two Listening Rooms actively mixes and merges, allowing the two activated spaces to affect each other - in a very real sen

Réduction de la mortalité maternelle - Dakar 2010 : l’Education Pour la Santé vue d’en bas.
Bien que l’analyse des problèmes institutionnels soit essentielle pour comprendre la faible performance de l’EPS, l’auteur aborde surtout la question des rapports entre le dispositif technique et les populations locales. De quelle manière ces populations réagissent-elles aux messages de l’EPS et pourquoi ?
Présentation d’une typologie générale des attitudes observées et examen des déterminants socio-économiques des conduites sanitaires des populations en insistant s

In the electrical engineering, solid-state materials and the properties play an essential role. A thorough understanding of the physics of metals, insulators and semiconductor materials is essential for designing new electronic devices and circuits. After short introduction of the IC fabrication process, the course starts with the crystallography. This will be followed by the basic principle of the quantum mechanics, the sold-state physics, band-structure and the relation with electrical propert
This page, in the National Academy Press website, gives the table of content of the book in the title of this site. As one of the "openbooks" from this press, the site allows one to search the book (approximately 400 pages) as well as download the complete book or selected portions of it. The site will be most useful to an analytical scientist interested in reading about current learning theories.
In Bhutan, an isolated country in the Himalayans, television only recently arrived in 1999. This lesson examines the dialogue surrounding the introduction of commercial television and American media to an "untouched" culture. Students will assess television's educational and entertainment values and define responsibilities that accompany the freedom of press.
This USGS site contains information on the geology units, topography, and precipitation rates of the Black Hills as it relates to the hydrology. Included is a map defining the study area, precipitation graphs, a stratigraphic column, a map denoting the distribution of hydrogeologic units, a geologic cross section, and a photo of the hydrogeologic setting. Links to an introduction to this study, objectives, products, references, and digital map services are also available through this site.
In this part a baker demonstrates on how to make graham cracker crust for egg nog cheese cake. Â She shows how to ground up graham crackers in a food processor until fine.Â
This lesson poses a series of questions designed to challenge students' possible misconceptions of statistical inference and hypothesis testing. The lesson uses the statistical software, Fathom, and three datasets with information on the number of chips per canister distributed by a snack maker. The data can found at the relation address below.
This paper considers the issue of 'noticing' in second language acquisition, and argues for the potential of handheld devices to: (i) support language learners in noticing and recording noticed features 'on the spot', to help them develop their second language system; (ii) help language teachers better understand the specific difficulties of individuals or those from a particular language background; and (iii) facilitate data collection by applied linguistics researchers, which can be fed back i
