Physical activity: a family affair
This free course, Physical activity: a family affair, aims to explore the effects that the family has on the amount and nature of physical activity a child participates in. The beliefs and behaviours of the family environment are the key psycho-social factors we investigate here. First published on Wed, 17 Feb 2016 as Author(s):
8.4 The organisation of the mitotic chromosome In order to prepare the chromosome for mitosis, a process in which DNA molecules become physically separated, an additional stage of compaction occurs to reach the highest level. The processes involved in this final stage of compaction are not clearly understood, but can be represented diagrammatically as in Figure 43. The process probably involves the coiling together of scaffolds into the higher-order structure.

The aim of this section is to formalise that definition. To do that, we need to specify three further requirements of a candidate topological space, beyond those given in the provisional definition. The first requirement is that the surface should be in Agent Based Modeling of Complex Adaptive Systems (basics) Thousands in Greece rally in solidarity with government 1.4 Portraying a character Click on 'Portraying a character' below to read ‘Portraying a character’, which outlines the main methods of revealing character in fiction. 4.5: The mode The USA workforce data in Table 2 were usefully summarised in Figure 6, w Guido Hülsmann: Inside the Mind of Mises 18.465 Topics in Statistics: Nonparametrics and Robustness (MIT) Dust Plume Off the Coast of Morocco, Africa 5.4 Drop-towers revisited In Section 1 we described how research into near weightless conditions can be carried out on Earth by using a drop-tower or a drop-shaft (Figure 41). We are now in a position to examine drop-shafts in more detail (Example 3). 5.3 The acceleration due to gravity In the absence of air resistance, an object falling freely under the influence of the Earth's gravity, close to the surface of the Earth, experiences an acceleration of about 9.81 m s−2 in the downward direction. The precise value of the magnitude is indicated by the symbol g and varies slightly from place to place due to variations in surface altitude, the effect of the Earth's rotation and variations in the internal composition of the Earth. Some typical values for Vehicle dynamics simulation - Fish hook, off-road, rollover 1.2.1 The EU economy Just to put things into perspective and remind ourselves of some basic background features of the EU, it is useful to provide an outline picture of the size of the EU compared to the USA and Japan. While a lot is made of the rise of China and India as potential competitors to these and other economies, as yet they remain rapidly expanding economic giants whose main impact will probably arise in the next decade. Comparative data on these two economies, and on the EU-12, the USA and Japan, is g The Evolution of Human Egalitarianism Learning to learn: Planning for personal change

There is a lot of potential for Africa, but for this to happen, it needs to address a long list of concerns, according to Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, governor for the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Our human society consists of many intertwined Large Scale Socio-Technical Systems (LSSTS), such as infrastructures, industrial networks, the financial systems etc. Environmental pressures created by these systems on Earth’s carrying capacity are leading to exhaustion of natural resources, loss of habitats and biodiversity, and are causing a resource and climate crisis. To avoid this sustainability crisis, we urgently need to transform our production and consumption patterns. Given that we, as

Jeff Deist and Guido Hülsmann discuss Hülsmann's years spent writing Mises's biography ('Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism'), the serendipitous discovery of Mises's papers in Moscow that made the book possible, how Mises endured and kept working as Europe burned, and how Mises's personal sacrifices helped pave the way for Austrian academics working today.
This graduate-level course focuses on one-dimensional nonparametric statistics developed mainly from around 1945 and deals with order statistics and ranks, allowing very general distributions. For multidimensional nonparametric statistics, an early approach was to choose a fixed coordinate system and work with order statistics and ranks in each coordinate. A more modern method, to be followed in this course, is to look for rotationally or affine invariant procedures. These can be based on empiri

This Anthropology Departmental Seminar (9 November 2012) is by Dr Frank Marlowe (University of Cambridge, Department of Biological Anthropology) and is on the theme of evolutionary anthropology.
This free course, Learning to learn: Planning for personal change, explores academic theories and acts as a guide to help you establish where you want to go and what you want to achieve. You are encouraged to develop a personal Action Plan. The focus returns to your own viewpoint and you are encouraged to change or modify how you think about using Learning to learn. The course also looks at how online learning communities can be used as part of the process of learning and personal change. PLEAS
