4.4 Manchester Literary & Philosophical Society and Board of Health In the meantime Owen joined the town's social and intellectual elite, which like its politics was largely dominated by Dissenters. They were prominent in the Manchester Literary & Philosophical Society which Owen joined in 1793. There he associated with some significant reformers, heard papers on a wide range of intellectual, industrial and social topics, and himself presented papers dealing with such issues, including one on education. The society was founded in 1781, the co-founders b

Anisotropic thermal conductivity in quartz: parallel to c-axis section
A section of quartz cut parallel to the c-axis being heated from a point at its centre. An ellipse shows that the thermal conductivity in this plane is direction-dependent. From TLP: Introduction to Anisotropy, http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/doitpoms/tlplib/anisotropy/thermal.php
1.3 The very early Universe Time: <10−36 s Temperature: >1028 K Energy: >3 × 1015 GeV (i.e. >3 × 1024 eV) At the very earliest times in the history of the Universe, we can only presume that a superunification of the four interactions was in operation. Unfortunately, no reliable theory of superunification is yet available, so nothing can be said about the contents or behaviour of the Universe in its earliest moments. Indeed, it
Erie Lackawanna Pedestrian Bridge Ribbon Cutting
University of Rochester President Joel Seligman joined Mayor Thomas S.
Richards, City Councilmember Elaine Spaull, and members of the Rochester
community to celebrate the official opening of the Erie Lackawanna
Pedestrian Bridge. The newly renovated railroad bridge, which is now
open to walkers, joggers, hikers, bicyclists, and more, spans the
Genesee River approximately 1.5 miles south of downtown Rochester,
linking the east and west banks of the trail and establishes a new
access point between
11.2 The processor The processor can be thought of as the 'brain' of the computer in that it manages everything the computer does. A processor is contained on a single microchip or 'chip'. A chip is a small, thin slice of silicon, which might measure only a centimetre across but can contain hundreds of millions of transistors. The transistors are joined together into circuits by tiny wires which can be more than a hundred times thinner than a human hair. These tiny circuits enable the proce
4.2.4 CCD light sensor The CCD light sensor is a transducer that converts light to an electrical signal. CCD stands for 'charge coupled device', and physically a CCD light sensor is an integrated circuit with a transparent cover. A photograph of one is shown in Figure 6. Under the cover is a rectangular array of light-sensitive electronic components cal
Religions of the World - Christianity
A brief overview of Christianity, it's history, demographics, precepts and denominations. Goes very rapidly and is of little use to a student unfamiliar with the religion.
What prevents middle manager from getting to the top? Learn about Perimeter and Area Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: define and use in context, or recognise definitions and applications of, each of the terms printed in bold in the text identify some of the reasons why clean, fresh water is an increasingly scarce resource for many people in the world explain what is meant by the bioaccumulation of xenobiotic chemicals and identify the implications that this has for what people can safely eat distingu 6.087 Practical Programming in C (MIT) 3.3 Managing conflict Conflict can emerge when a project is thought to be absorbing scarce resources or shifting the balance of power. The schedule for project meetings provides a framework for communication while the project is in progress. Meetings with team members on a one-to-one basis, in addition to group meetings, will help them to feel supported and could be an opportunity to provide coaching when necessary. FY-RTS 3 Portfolio Template Introduction Learning how to learn is a process in which we all engage throughout our lives, although often we do not realise that we are, in fact, learning how to learn. Most of the time we concentrate on what we are learning rather than how we are learning it. In this unit, we aim to make the process of learning much more explicit by inviting you to apply the various ideas and activities to your own current or recent study as a way of increasing your awareness of your own learning. QTC Chapel Service 21 April 2015 - Romans 9 Introduction This unit is an adapted extract from the course The molecular world
(S205) This unit will provide you with a detailed understanding of some of the important problems and topics that are being studied by the chemists of today, and of the ways in which associated problems might be solved by chemical methods. But to acquire this understanding you must have a good grasp of fundamental chemic

Learn about Perimeter and Area - The video teaches students how to calculate the perimeter and area of figures. (05:36)
This course provides a thorough introduction to the C programming language, the workhorse of the UNIX operating system and lingua franca of embedded processors and micro-controllers. The first two weeks will cover basic syntax and grammar, and expose students to practical programming techniques. The remaining lectures will focus on more advanced concepts, such as dynamic memory allocation, concurrency and synchronization, UNIX signals and process control, library development and usage.
