Nick Atkins: Aero Engine Internal Flows The November 5, 2012 New Trends in Aerospace presentation. This talk introduced the role of research into the aero-thermodynamics of the flow internal to an aero-engine core within the context of these future engine architectures. In places, the fluid physics share characteristics with atmospheric weather systems. In addition, the fluid flow is often coupled to the thermal field and it is fair to say that the accuracy of numerical predictions is perhaps a generation behind that of the blades
Farming on Mars & the Moon
The question of how to grow edible and useable crops on the moon and Mars is being explored by a University of Mississippi administrator directing a cutting-edge research project aboard the International Space Station. Video by Mary Stanton.
Fall 2012 Capstone Presentation - Introduction
On December 13th, students from the Fall Capstone class presented their projects. Taught this semester by Prof. Gavin Shatkin, the Capstone is a required course that all Master's students in the LPP and MURP programs take in their final semester. This semester's students worked with Street-Works and the City of Quincy on a plan for the redevelopment of the Quincy Center MBTA Station.
Geraldine the Giraffe Learns /ch/ Sound
Geraldine the giraffe (a puppet) learns the /ch/ letter shape and sound in this phonics video. The narrator explains the /ch/ sounds and they look for words that begin with the /ch/ sound. (02:58)

Institute, and founder of Gapminder, a nonprofit that brings vital
global data to life.
RiP: A remix manifesto The world's first 'open source documentary' by web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor, this film explores issues of copyright in the information age. It is a mashup of work from hundreds of different people who have contributed to the Open Source Cinema website.
Study Skill Tips
A seven minute video that contains information about the learning process through a list of study tips including: finding a suitable place to study, planning and organizing. eliminating distractions, taking breaks from study, and eating and drinking are all mentioned in this British video. A good video to start the year.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 3D A 3D model of the Ultra Deep Field, a tiny but very 'deep' image of space captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, showing about 10,000 galaxies. It is the deepest image of the universe ever taken.
Introduction School governors need to be involved in the monitoring and evaluation of primary schools. But what areas should you be monitoring and how can you ensure that monitoring is effective. This course will help you assess these matters and also look at the kind of evidence you should be sourcing, and how that evidence should be evaluated. This OpenLearn course provides a sample of postgraduate study in Author(s):
SMU Lyle Students: "I ROBOT"
First year engineering students in SMU's Lyle School worked in multi-disiplinary teams during their fall 2012 design class to build robots capable of duplicating the water testing and remediation work Lyle faculty and students are doing in United Nations refugee camps. "When it actually works, it's amazing!" said Lyle student Jordan Kayse. This video captures all the energy of "demo day" in SMU Lyle's Innovation Gym.
3.1 Agents of eutrophication Light availability, water availability, temperature and the supply of plant nutrients are the four most important factors determining NPP. Altered availability of nutrients affects the rate of primary production in all ecosystems, which in turn changes the biomass and the species composition of communities. 1.2 Resource availability and species diversity A wide range of ecosystems has been studied in terms of their species diversity and the availability of resources. Each produces an individual relationship between these two variables, but a common pattern emerges from most of them, especially when plant diversity is being considered. This pattern has been named the humped-back relationship and suggests diversity is greatest at intermediate levels of productivity in many systems (Figure 1.5). 6.2 Non-covalent bonding in site-specific binding The affinity of a protein for DNA is determined in thermodynamic terms by the free energies of the individual components compared to the free energy of the DNA-protein complex. DNA binding proteins, which contain different binding motifs, demonstrate a wide range of thermodynamic strategies. The affinity of a site-specific DNA binding protein for its specific DNA sequence is generally of the order of 104−107 times greater than its affinity for non-specific sequen References 2.9 Summary of Section 2 Obesity is determined by a number of factors including environmental variables, such as the macronutrient content, energy density and fat content of available diets. Using whole room indirect calorimetry it has been found that humans are not good at recognizing the difference between low and high energy diets. Furthermore fat is less good at inducing satiety than are either carbohydrate or protein. An evolutionary perspective offers an explana 1.5 Obesity At the time of writing (2004) 20% of the adult population of the UK is classified as obese. The number of obese children has doubled since 1982, 10% of six year olds and 17% of fifteen year olds are now classified as obese. As shown in Table 4, obesity is recognized when the BMI exceeds 30 and occurs quite simply wh 1.3 Balanced energy intake There is a need for a certain daily energy intake to allow metabolism to occur in the body. Metabolism means all the chemical reactions occurring in the body and there are two types of process involved: catabolism breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones often with energy release and anabolism is the building up of larger molecules from smaller precursors, often requiring energy. The body requires energy to power anabolic, mechanical (for example, muscle contraction 1.2 Summary of Section 1.1 A balanced diet consists of six main nutrient groups; proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals and water. Dietary reference values (DRVs) comprise a range and an estimated average of recommended daily intake levels for nutrients and energy for males and females at different stages of their life.
