1 Current imaging techniques A grainy Polaroid of the child in a mother's womb – an X-ray of a tibia fractured in a traffic accident – a report on a brain scan anxiously awaited. Very few of us have not had some connection with the techniques and practices of medical imaging. Often, these contacts are in periods of personal drama in which the medical images chart our physical status, the
management of a condition and, in some cases, our future. Imaging is a central feature of contemporary medicine. Along with c

Introduction to Motion - Khan Academy
Introduction to basic physics of motion. Introduces the concept of variable velocity/acceleration. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor uses it as a 'chalkboard.' (09:11)
Powers of Minus Ten - Cells and Genetics App for iOS
'Powers of Minus Ten lets you zoom in to explore human cells and molecules! Discover some of the basic concepts in biology and learn about the structures of a few of the key cells, proteins, and molecules found in our bodies.''POMT is...- meant to be a general introduction to the science behind cells and genetics- an ever-expanding visual guide to the microcosm (More content is constantly in the works)- a relatively seamless zooming experience that emphasizes the interconnectedness of life's pro
Two Terrains - Distance, Rate, and Time - A Virtual Manipulative
This manipulative is from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics website.  Some vehicles fly down the highway, while others are dirt-track specialists. This activity allows you to explore the relationships between distance, rate, and time. Can you identify the best path for a vehicle? Try to predict what will happen if you set on‑road or off‑road performance measures.
Note: There are more instructions by the manipulative.
First structured education programme for type 2 diabetes
Dr Jackie Sturt, from the Health Sciences Research Institute at Warwick Medical School, talks about the trial of the Diabetes Manual, the first one-to-one structured education programme for people with type 2 diabetes in the UK. Alongside her is Debbie Durk the practice nurse at a GP practice in Birmingham, who was part of the trial, and Angela Jones, a person with diabetes, who has been helped by the Diabetes Manual.
5 The contemporary Arctic climate There is a remarkable seasonality in the Arctic climate. For example, the flow in some of the great rivers of Russia and North America that empty into the Arctic Ocean almost stops in winter (Figure 21). During May, ice in the rivers starts to break and in June there is a rapid flood of fresh water followed by

1.2.1 Science throughout history: a case of attribution? Much of the science we now take for granted was first done by scientists outside today's industrialised nations. For example, Arabic medicine was in advance of European medicine throughout the Middle Ages, and from Salerno (the first recorded medical school, founded in the 10th century), to Vesalius (the first person to publish a book of human anatomy, in 1543), Western doctors learned from their Muslim counterparts. Activity 2 gives an opportunity to learn more about some of

Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: understand the key aspects of William Wilberforce’s political career and writings, and have an appreciation of their historical and religious significance demonstrate an awareness of the relationship of Evangelicalism to cultural transitions between the Enlightenment and Romanticism understand the contribution of religion to cultural, social and political change in Britain in the years after the F
5.2 Why plan? Captain James Lovell chose the title ‘A successful failure’ for an article on the Apollo 13 Lunar Mission. The failure was that the lunar landing was abandoned. The success was that, although an explosion blew a gaping hole in the spacecraft three-quarters of the way to the moon and knocked out the electrical systems as well as the service module's engine, the three astronauts returned safely to Earth. Can you think of a better example of the value of emergency planning? Two feature
International Norm Change: outlawry of war in the interwar years [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Hatsue Shinohara | This lecture will examine the transformation of international law in interwar years, and why international norm change concerning the legal status of war was accomplished.

Her research focuses on the history of international law, the disciplinary history of IR, and the League of Nations. Christopher Hughes is Professor of Int
1.7.3 Formation of prostaglandin Figure 14 models the way that the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) catalyses the formation of prostaglandin from arachidonic acid. Note how important the shape of the arachidonic acid molecule is. It needs to be just right to match the shape of the active site on the COX molecule and, as you have seen, of the 16 possible geometrical isomers, only one will fit. The one with all the double bonds cis has all the atoms in the right place to fit into the cavity containing the active site of COX
