3.6 Design considerations for AFM probes AFMs have proved so useful in so many areas of science and engineering that they are now to be found in most universities and many manufacturing companies. The making of probes for these instruments is no longer a cottage industry, partly because of the sheer numbers involved, but also because of the need for consistency of performance from probe to probe. This requires precise shaping, both of the tip itself and of the cantilever on which it is mounted. The quality of image obtained from an

USAHEC: Telling the Army Story: Voices of Gettysburg's Slain
Dr. Carol Reardon presents Telling the Army Story: Voices of Gettysburg's Slain at the Army Heritage and Education Center June 19. At the end of three days of bloody fighting around the town of Gettysburg on July 1,2 and 3, 1863, over 7,000 soldiers from the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia lay dead upon the battlefield. Over the next six months, several thousand more died of their wounds, sealing their commitment to their respective causes with lives. But death did not sile
UW 360 - February 2011: Designer Proteins
Hear about cutting edge research on designer proteins being developed in UW Professor David Baker's lab.

16.333 Aircraft Stability and Control (MIT)
This class includes a brief review of applied aerodynamics and modern approaches in aircraft stability and control. Topics covered include static stability and trim; stability derivatives and characteristic longitudinal and lateral-directional motions; and physical effects of the wing, fuselage, and tail on aircraft motion. Control methods and systems are discussed, with emphasis on flight vehicle stabilization by classical and modern control techniques; time and frequency domain analysis of con

2.5.3 Consistency A common problem with sentences is not making all the parts match up. What is wrong with this sentence of Philip's, for example? So therefore woman began to long for the urban or city way of living, if even for a short period so that they could deploy the art of socializing… The mistake is that ‘woman’ should be followed by ‘she’ not ‘they’. ‘Woman’ is singular, whereas
1 Genetic medicine: dreams and realities Genetics can be used in medicine to confirm a previous or make a fresh diagnosis, or predict a disorder likely to occur in future. At the moment, that is often all that can be done. The so-called ‘diagnostic therapeutic gap’ is one immediate problem for us to deal with. When the only options on offer after a genetic test are to terminate a pregnancy, or prepare to deal with the disease as best you can, some of the dilemmas of new genetic knowledge are sharper. Genetic testing is onl

2.2.2 Precision Measuring the same sample should give the same result every time if the equipment is precise. In practice, the information displayed by a measuring device can depend on several factors (such as temperature and humidity) and can drift slightly over time. Nevertheless, during the time it takes to complete a measurement sequence, all measurements ought to remain within a specified, small margin of error, often marked on the equipment. We will see later on, in Author(s):
Season 2 – Lesson 09 – Coffee Break Spanish This week on Coffee Break Spanish we’re taking a further look at adjectives and we’ll be doing more practice using adjectives and making them agree with the word they describe. We’ll also take a look at describing people, including talking about hair and eyes. Please note that lesson 09 of Season 2 was originally known as lesson 209 of Coffee Break Spanish. We have renumbered the lessons of each season as lessons 1-40 to make things more simple for our l

20.441J Biomaterials-Tissue Interactions (MIT)
This course covers the principles of materials science and cell biology underlying the design of medical implants, artificial organs, and matrices for tissue engineering. Methods for biomaterials surface characterization and analysis of protein adsorption on biomaterials. Molecular and cellular interactions with biomaterials are analyzed in terms of unit cell processes, such as matrix synthesis, degradation, and contraction. Mechanisms underlying wound healing and tissue remodeling following imp
21M.603 Principles of Design (MIT)
This course deals with advanced design theories and textual analysis. Emphasis is placed on script analysis in general, as well as the investigation of design principles from a designer's perspective. Students also refine technical skills in rendering and presentation, historical research, and analysis. Class sessions include interaction with student/faculty directors and other staff designers. The goal of this course is for students to approach text with a fresh vision and translate that vision
1.3.6 Journals Journals and articles written by academics or experts are an excellent source of information. Journals are usually published monthly or quarterly, and contain a selection of articles providing details of recent research. Often they will also contain reviews of relevant books. They are usually published more quickly than books, and so are often more up to date. To access content of journals, most publishers require a subscription. There are, however, some journals which you can freely ac
