5.1 Describing uniformly accelerated motion An important special case of non-uniform motion along a line is that which arises when an object is subjected to constant acceleration. This kind of motion is called uniformly accelerated motion. An object falling under gravity near to the surface of the Earth, such as the apple of Figure 24, provides a

The relationship between the EC and the EU The words ‘European Economic Community’ (EEC), ‘European Community’ (EC) and ‘European Union’ (EU) have already been used in this unit, and many texts and journal and newspaper articles use them interchangeably.

DNA supercoiling and protein binding in the E. coli chromosome As discussed earlier, the DNA of the E. coli chromosome is highly negatively supercoiled due to the action of the DNA gyrase enzyme (Section 3.2). This negative supercoiling serves to assist in compaction of the DNA, with the repulsive forces of the sugar-phosphate backbones being counteracted by polyamines. Many of the protein
7.1 Introduction Until now, we have discussed DNA primarily as a double helix, but in its natural state within the cell it is found packaged as a complex mixture with many different proteins and other components. You have already seen examples of proteins with specific roles to play, such as topoisomerases and the proteins with various DNA binding domains, but in this section we will turn our attention to the proteins that serve to pack and organise the DNA into what we call chromatin. The packaging of

We then view these symmetries as functions that combine under composition, and show that the resulting structure has properties known as closure, identity, inverses and associativity. We use these properties to define a group in Author(s): 2 Schemes run by Swansea Cyrenians in 1999 A hostel, which provided accommodation for 13 people, predominantly men, in individual rooms and an overflow shed. It was run in partnership with the Family Housing Association. Three-quarters of its funding came from the Welsh Assembly, and a quarter from the local authority. Another important source of revenue was Housing Benefit, through which residents were able to pay their accommodation charges. This varied enormously. Residents classified as ‘vulnerable’, like those with ment 5.1 Standing waves You learned earlier that when a musician plays a note on an instrument, they supply it with energy that causes the primary vibrator to oscillate at certain specific frequencies. In Section 5 we are going to look at what determines these specific frequencies for some of the primary vibrators found in different instruments. In Unit TA212_1 Sound for music technology: an introduction, we talk about travelling waves: that is, waves that propagate outwards away from their sourc 4.9 When there's too much to do This can be a real problem in large conferences. If, for whatever reason, you join a conference later than the other participants, or are unable to be involved for a while, the prospect of joining in can be a bit daunting.
