Carbon Pricing: Not Such a Clean Option
Carbon pricing has been hailed as the best way to bring down emissions and drive investment in cleaner technologies. New research suggests it could do just the opposite.

Microbial World
This on-line unit is an introduction to microbes, providing activities that highlight the diversity and wonder of the microbial world for students in grades 5 - 8. Lessons include: Microbial Time Line, Microbe Observations, Germ Wars, Microbe Hunters, and Microbial Brew. Each lesson plan includes an introduction, time, objectives, materials, advanced preparation, teacher notes, and student pages.
2.1 Introduction In this section we shall define the complex number system as the set R × R (the Cartesian product of the set of reals, R, with itself) with suitable addition and multiplication operations. We shall define the real and imaginary parts of a complex number and compare the properties of the complex number system with those of the real number system, particularly from the point of view of analysis.

Open Notebook Science - Falcipain-2 Preliminary Results Chemistry Concepts in Second Life - Bradley/Lang 3.1 The impact of information technology Having discussed the radical and pervasive effect that inventions in previous eras have had on economy-wide productivity, and how they have even defined entire periods, we shall now ask how the rise of information technology compares to these previous revolutions. During the early growth phase of PC use, a leader article in Fortune magazine did not hesitate to compare the rise of the PC to previous technological revolutions. 2.4 The First Consul Click to see plate 11 Antoine-Jean Gros, Bonaparte as First Consul, 1802, oil on canvas, 205 x 127 cm, Musée Nationale de la Légion d’Honneur, Paris.

You can label such sentences and then refer back by label. Thus, Example 3 could be laid out as follows. So, from (1) and (2), 6.4 The principle of proportionality This principle has been developed and refined by the ECJ and is also covered by Article 5 EC: Any action of the Community shall not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of this Treaty. However, given that the objectives of the Community are defined very widely in Article 2 EC, the principle of proportionality is not always the easiest tool for curbing EU legislative enthusiasm. 3.4 Features of speech: interaction Once we start to consider the ongoing interactive nature of speech, many of the differences between speech and writing become explicable.

In this case, the answer has to be expressed as a fraction or the equivalent decimal number: A fraction is really just another way of expressing a division because ½ means

This talk covers Open Notebook Science from an information technology perspective. It was presented by Jean-Claude Bradley at the Drexel iSchool on November 11, 2008. Although solubility measu
I talked about Second Life in the chemistry classroom at the Chemical Heritage Foundation on April 29, 2008. This was part of the 8th Annual Leadership Initiative in Science Education (LISE 8). Most examples involve work done in collaboration with Andrew Lang. At the end I invite the group to an in-world meeting on May 6, 2008 at 13:30 EDT on ACS

This talk was presented by Jean-Claude Bradley at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia on August 20, 2008. An introduction to Open Notebook Science is presented followed by an illustration of how ONS can be used in drug discovery.

This is a co-presentation by Jean-Claude Bradley and Andrew Lang on August 18, 2008 at the American Chemical Society conference in Philadelphia. The focus is on many of the tools available to easily demonstrate chemistry concepts in Second Life such as 3D molecules, reaction mechanisms, docking, organic chemistry quizzes, 5D graphs, the ACS museum featuring an HIV exhibit, the red tide phenomenon and many others. Most of the content on display rests on A

In the middle of the year 2001, we had the opportunity to project an Auditory in the particular building of our School of Architecture. The chance to produce the entire project an all the technical documentation was given; using only digital tools. The use of this tools let us to calculate illumination, isolation study, sound an thermical conditioning with a real time visualization of the three dimensional model.
The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) makes an incredible migration each year. These small birds travel distances of more than 50,000 miles, from pole to pole, crossing through temperate and tropical regions along the way. Carsten Egevang used geo-locator tags to track ten of these terns, and he shares their story with us in this tour.
