Introduction This unit is about rights and rights claims, and the idea of implementing justice in the international sphere based on the concept of rights. It is agreed by most people that ‘rights are a good thing’ and in many respects they are. However, this unit deliberately takes a critical view. It seeks to examine closely why rights are a good thing and highlights some of the problems associated with rights. In this way, we hope that the sense in which rights are still, ultimately, ‘a good thing
Back to the Land This is the true story of Arthurdale, West Virginia, a town created as a "pet project" of the Roosevelts. Designed to be (in the words of Eleanor Roosevelt) "a human experiment station", she was to create a "New American" citizen who would embrace a collectivist form of life. This book tells the story of what happened to the people resettled in Arthurdale and how the policies implemented there shaped America as we know it. Arthurda
STS.340J Introduction to the History of Technology (MIT)
This course is an introduction to the consideration of technology as the outcome of particular technical, historical, cultural, and political efforts, especially in the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. Topics include industrialization of production and consumption, development of engineering professions, the emergence of management and its role in shaping technological forms, the technological construction of gender roles, and the relationship between humans and machines.
3.1 Overview The Tay Bridge disaster came towards the end of a period of intense development of the railway system in the UK. The bridge had materials that were well known. Cast iron was used for the columns and wrought iron for the trussed girders. The construction of the bridge was, at the time, the largest single engineering project in Britain, the Tay estuary being about two miles wide near Dundee, and the bridge was the longest in the world. In the shallower approaches in the estuary, con

AVOCAAD - A First Step Towards Distance Learning?
In the industrial world knowledge is developed very fast. As most countries are depending on employees with a high level of knowledge and skills the term ?Life Long Learning? has been formulated and the concept is more and more accepted. Institutions of higher education are more and more involved in creating supplementary education more independent of time and place. Distance learning was originally carried out by ordinary mail, which was slow but might then have been the only solution for peopl

4.6.1 Prices of polymers Prices of bulk and speciality polymers (Table 9) broadly reflect the degree of chemical processing and treatment needed to make them. Thus the polyolefins, which are directly polymerized from cracker streams, are generally the cheapest followed by vinyl derivatives of ethylene like PS and PVC. Derived polymers which require mo
3.1 The role of observation It was clear to Canadian psychologist Albert Bandura (1924– ) that not only is children's behaviour shaped by its consequences, but also that children learn by watching the behaviour of people around them. In contrast to behaviourism, Bandura's social learning theory emphasised the importance of children imitating the behaviours, emotions and attitudes of those they saw around them: Learning would be exceedingly 9.1 User trip This section introduces a simple method of investigating product use. Even such simple methods can provide useful information to guide product redesign and new product development. The essential idea of user trips is simple: you just take a ‘trip’ through the whole process of using a particular product or system, making yourself a critical observant user. The only way to learn how to make these user trips is to try one or two for yourself. You will be surprised how much you fi Baptism Part III Ch 2: Infant Baptism Cold War: Allies Against The Axis - part 3/5 Fluxus at Rutgers | 01/31/12 6.1 Introduction The biological functions of both DNA and RNA are dependent on complex, and sometimes transient, three-dimensional nucleoprotein structures. It is in such structures that the enzymatic manipulation of DNA in the essential biological processes such as DNA replication, transcription and recombination occur, and it is important to understand the interactions that drive these processes. Whether it is the activity of enzymes associated with DNA, such as DNA topoisomerases, or the packaging of DNA o 3.4 Competition In plants it is particularly obvious that many more potential offspring (seeds) are produced than can survive. To a very large extent it is a matter of chance as to which are the survivors. Some are eaten, others overlooked or stored away and forgotten. Those that survive to germinate might be on unsuitable soil, too dry or too wet, so that they shrivel or rot. The successful seedling could be in poor soil, deficient in minerals, or there may be many other plants that are already established
Exploring the biblical basis for Infant Baptism.
1917 - 1945 Though ideological enemies, the Soviet Union and the U.S. are allies against Hitler during World War II. At the end of the war, Europe is divided, and the one-time allies now confront each other. The U.S. has the atomic bomb.
Christopher Benincasa talks with curator Donna Gustafson about fifty years of Fluxus at Rutgers University. Fluxus was a radical and experimental art movement that started in the sixties and involved a group of Rutgers faculty members. The exhibit "art/around/beyond: Fluxus at Rutgers" is on view at the Zimmerli Art Museum in New Brunswick through April 1.
