1.3 Environmental factors I indicated earlier that many failures occur after a product has been in service for some time: such as the wear of a car tyre, or corrosion of the car body itself. It is also possible for components to fail because of a combination of a manufacturing defect with the applied loading or with the environmental conditions during use. Author(s):

2.4 Computer systems (contd) As I have already mentioned, the functional blocks shown in Figure 3 relate very closely to, even though they are not necessarily identical with, the computer's physical components. The computer's physical components are normally known collectively as the hardware. Software is a term often used t
Ocean Tides
Tides are the rise and fall of the ocean's surface. Learn more about ocean tides in this educational video. The video briefly explains the causes of the tides, types of tides, and how often a tide occurs. More videos about tides can be found under the category and subcategories of Astronomy/Solar System/Earth's Moon/ Moon and Earth's Tides. (00:55)

VU Inside: Students dig into super-massive volcanic eruptions
A dozen Vanderbilt students went on a monthlong science adventure of a lifetime, studying super-eruptions, glaciers and earthquakes in New Zealand.
7.2 Drafting reports As you may remember from Activity 3, the three general principles of a report (whether it is of a social sciences investigation or a scientific experiment) are: Why was it done? How was it done? What does it mean? You will need to make some decisions, not only about wha
3-Axis CNC Milling in Architectural Design
Physical scale models still have a role in architectural design. 3-axis CNC milling provides one way of making scale models both for study purposes and for presentation in durable materials such as wood. We present some types of scale models, the methods for creating them and the place in the design process that scale models occupy. We provide an overview of CNC milling procedures and issues and we describe the process of how one can creatively develop appropriate methods for milling different t
3.8.2 Analysing and answering essay-based exam questions For the following activity, you can use questions from a specimen paper, past papers or even questions you have devised for yourself. Exam questions for essay-based courses often contain 'process words'.

You will now see how the powers of ten notation can be extended to cover small numbers, such as 0.000 000 0002 m.

These changes have not always been the result of thoughtless or selfish behaviour; often intentions were worthy, but outcomes were not as predicted. The importance of genetic diversith is demonstrated here in relation to Dutch Elm disease. The need to retain genetic diversity in plants, used for food and medicine, is recognized in such initiatives as the Kew Milennium Seed Bank Appeal. 8.1 Introduction The average human cell has around two metres of DNA within its nucleus. In the interphase nucleus, in which transcription and replication are going on, this DNA is packaged into nucleosomes that are variably compacted, through association with H1, into larger 30nm fibres. In fact, the average nucleus most likely contains DNA with a continuum of chromatin configurations, ranging from highly open 10Â nm fibres, through to 30Â nm fibres and fibres that are even more tightly packed together, call 1.5.9 Plagiarism Referencing is not only useful as a way of sharing information, but also as a means of ensuring that due credit is given to other people's work. In the electronic information age, it is easy to copy and paste from journal articles and web pages into your own work. But if you do use someone else's work, you should acknowledge the source by giving a correct reference. Taking someone's work and not indicating where you took it from is termed plagiarism and is regarded as an infringement of 9.1 Introduction Two of the most basic and important skills of a successful student are being able to read effectively and make clear, concise notes The process of note-taking helps you engage with study materials in an active way. Turning a text into your own words helps to sharpen up your understanding and focus your thinking. The key to successful note-taking is to create notes that suit your purpose rather than writing reams that are boring to write and even more boring to read later! Here are some
Activity 9
Exercise 59
Deaf Planet's web media site is in both American Sign Language (ASL) and French Sign Language (LSQ). Their site content uses Bloom's taxonomy in its video clips, games, and activities, and their show Earth Buzz has a new episode each week in both ASL and LSQ. They also have a finger spelling feature that can be either turned on or off while playing games and activities. Individuals can either have fun working independently or along side with parents and educators.
This is a collection of rubrics for educators to use when selecting mobile Apps for classroom use.
The course is designed to be an introduction to methods of analyzing, evaluating, and recording the urban environment first hand. Its aim is to supplement existing courses that cover theory and history of city design and planning and to better prepare students without prior design background for the studio sequence.
