Autonomous mechanisms in architectural design systems
The development of architectural design systems that describe fully the form, structure and behaviour of a design relies heavily on the incorporation of intelligence in the representations, analyses, transformations and transactions used by the computer. Traditionally such intelligence takes either of two forms. The first is a methodical framework that guides actions supported by the design system (usually in a top-down fashion). The second is local, intelligence mechanisms that resolve discrete
Venus: Crash Course Astronomy #14
Venus is a gorgeous naked-eye planet, hanging like a diamond in the twilight -- but it’s beauty is best looked at from afar. Even though Mercury is closer to the sun, Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, due to a runaway greenhouse effect, and has the most volcanic activity in the solar system. Its north and south poles were flipped, causing it to rotate backwards and making for very strange days on this beautiful but inhospitable world. (10:50)
Introduction This course looks at identity, focusing upon the individual's perception of self in relation to others; the relationships between multi-ethnicity, cultural diversity and identity; and the effects of inequality and social class upon identity. It also looks at inequality and social class as they relate to perceived identity. This OpenLearn course provides a sample of Level 1 study in Author(s):
Physicists seek animated answers to dark secrets of the universe
Nov. 29 - Physicists at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois hope to unravel the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy with the most detailed computer simulations of the universe ever built. The two theoretical forces have never been detected but are believed to make up more than 95 percent of the universe The researchers want to know what the forces are and how they work. Ben Gruber reports.

1.1 A burst of evolution One of the most important events in the history of life began about 545 million years (Ma) ago, i.e. some four billion years after the origin of the Earth, and over 3.3 billion years after the origin of life. The term ‘Cambrian explosion’ reflects a sudden burst of evolution, when a wide variety of organisms, especially those with hard, mineralised parts, first appear in the fossil record. Thus began the Phanerozoic Eon – ‘the time of visible life’ – and the Palaeozoic Era.

The use of four main drug categories together reduces the risk of an MI, a stroke or cardiovascular disease death over the next two years by 75 per cent in patients with previous coronary heart disease or stroke (2002 figures from Mackay and Mensah, 2004). Such secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases has been formalised into a 4.5 What can individuals do? Whatever age they are, men, women and children can all do something to try to prevent future cardiovascular diseases in themselves or their families by eating a balanced diet (see Section 4.6), taking more exercise and modifying their lifestyles to reduce any other known risk factors.
