The anatomy cook book : a dissection guide with recipes
The Anatomy Cookbook has been written to accompany an anatomy and physiology course for bioengineers who would otherwise have missed out on the opportunity to study real organ systems at first hand. It is not an alternative to a standard anatomy text, it acts more as a laboratory supplement. The fun bit is that your kitchen takes the place of the dissection room. Each recipe provides an insight into one or more organs, and all you need to do is go to the supermarket and be prepared to think abou
TALAT Lecture 3206: The Feeding of Castings
This lecture provides an introduction to the techniques used to compensate for the solidification shrinkage of castings. The students will be able to understand the basic principles of how to design a feeder system to produce a shrinkage-free casting. Basic knowledge of castings production, basic physics and metallurgy background is assumed.
Optical Communication Systems
This course is a brief introduction to optical communication systems. These systems are described, focusing on lasers, photodetectors, fibers, and design budgets. The aim is qualifying students to design simple optical systems.
Snowball Fight in the Solar System
The Chandra X-Ray telescope is described along with the way it works. It offers ideas for how we can use the brightness of comets to make new discoveries.
Physics in architecture
Developed in 1998 by Dr John Whittle (Department of the Built Environment) using Authorware, this package contains brief interactive notes on eight areas of physics in which architects need a working knowledge. However, it is also useful to others in science, engineering and social sciences looking for an introduction to the topics concerned. These topics are: Units of measurement; Scalar and vector quantities; Newton’s laws; Mass and weight; Action and reaction; Waves; Heat, work and energy;
Introduction The unit will examine the Enlightenment. To help understand the nature and scale of the cultural changes of the time, we offer a 'map' of the conceptual territory and the intellectual and cultural climate. We will examine the impact of Enlightenment on a variety of areas including science, religion, the classics, art and nature. Finally, we will examine the forces of change which led from Enlightenment to Romanticism. This unit is an adapted extract from the Open University course
5 Designer babies? A character under genetic influence where the distinction between treatment and enhancement is hard to draw is height. Treatment of short stature – with human growth hormone made in genetically manipulated bacteria – has already given rise to controversy about how short a child needs to be for treatment to count as meeting a medical need. That is, how tall is tall enough? As we identify genes that have effects on many other human characters, from appearance to, perhaps, intelligence
Gevoelensboekje Een boekje voor leerlingen met problematiek op sociaal-emotioneel gebied. De leerling gaat aan het eind van de dag, samen met de leerkracht, zijn gevoelens in kaart brengen.
4.6.1 What if a learning objective CAN'T be achieved? What can you do if you have considered all the adjustments appropriate for a particular student and you have determined that they can't achieve the learning objective?
4.7 Informing students Students need accurate information about accessibility before they enrol on a course. This may seem like common sense, but it is a significant contributor to students’ legal complaints. It is important that details of reasonable adjustments are carefully recorded, including the limitations of alternative formats and accessible design. The second accessibility activity, ‘Specifying, designing and evaluating accessibility’, will look more closely at specifying and evaluating web resources
"My Life, the Theater..." by Allen Zadoff--The Pick of the Week from 60 second Recap®
In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "My Life, the Theater.." by Allen Zadoff. What do you do when you're afraid of the dark? Get a job as a lighting guy for your school's theater production, of course! If only all of Adam Ziegler's problems were so easily solved. But this is high school, and Adam's suffered more than his fair share of tragedies--starting with the accident that killed his father and made Adam's world go black. But all is not tragedy in this parts-funny
1.1 What happens during an earthquake? The Earth is an active planet, with activity occurring in the oceans, in the atmosphere and in the solid Earth itself. This course looks at a dramatic example of solid Earth activity: earthquakes. You probably have some idea from newspapers, television or perhaps personal experience, of just how powerful earthquakes can be. In a matter of minutes earthquakes have devastated cities and killed a quarter of a million people. I was in only a medium-sized earthquake in 1978, but even that ha
Music Printing
From the middle of the 15th century onwards, the intellectual and cultural life of the West was revolutionised by the development of the printing press. This album explores the technological problems and solutions specific to the printing of music and shows how technology has transformed the way music scores are produced today. The five video tracks examine early music printing processes, 20th century photo lithography and the invention Sibelius, the music programme that changed everything. Thi

Speaker(s): Dr Rory Brooks, Rebecca Eastmond, Dr William MacAskill, Caroline Mason | Editor's note: We apologise for the poor audio quality of this podcast. Does philanthropy create utopia, and if so for whom? Those receiving, or those giving? Our panel discuss the motivations of philanthropy and its impact, and ask what it really means to make the world a better place. Rory Brooks is co-founder of the international private equity group MML Capital Partners. Rebecca Eastmond is a Philanthropy Ad
2 The what and how of monitoring Monitoring cannot happen without the honesty of staff, and the trust of governors. Gann (1998) Monitoring can take many forms. How the governing body undertakes this role is a matter for their own decision. What is important is that they work in partnership with the professionals and involve themselves in the process of ensuring that policies and plans are being implemented, and that these are
7.1 Introduction Micro fabrication often involves multiple layers of different materials, each following a sequence of process steps, usually deposition/lithography/etching. The microelectronics industry has been a driver for many of these techniques and that momentum has carried over into the MEMS community. The treatment that follows covers examples from both industries. The appropriate deposition technique depends on the purpose of the layer – a thin insulating barrier layer in a transistor or capa
Introduction This unit contains material that is essential to learning about music technology. Here you will explore the concept of sound and be introduced to the physics behind travelling pressure waves as the physical manifestation of sound. You will also learn about the subjective perception of pitch and loudness, in particular their relationship to frequency and amplitude. This study unit is an adapted extract relevant to The Open University course TA212 The technology of music, which is
2.12 Fluid balance Although a person can survive for several weeks without food, without fluids, someone can survive for only a few days. A loss of water equivalent to just 1% of body weight is enough to make someone feel thirsty and to have an effect on ability to concentrate. Such a loss has been shown in some studies in schools to result in a 10% decrease in the mental performance of children. A 4% loss results in dizziness and reduced muscle power. By the time there is a 6% loss, the heart is racing and swe
TALAT Lecture 1253: Creep
This lecture constitutes an introduction to creep and to the creep response of aluminium and its alloys. It provides basic information on creep and its mechanisms; it gives a description of the more extensively used mathematical relations among creep variables (time, stress and temperature); it illustrates the creep response of pure Aluminium and of Al-Mg alloys; it provides a synthesis of the information available in the literature on the creep behaviour of a number of new alloys and composites
2.2 Use of language Use of language is extremely important in law. As a law student it is important that you use language in an accurate way. The rest of Part A of this unit will therefore consider the importance of language in law. By now you will have had a few opportunities to look up the
