Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: describe environmental matters regarding obligation and entitlements from a ‘caring’ perspective appreciate the significance of environmental consequentialist ethics in conversations around developing care identify and compare formal and less formal expressions of environmental responsibility understand ‘accountability’ in the context of environmental issues ide
Docker Overview for .NET Developers | Docker for .NET Developers In this video, you'll get a quick overview of Docker and why it's beneficial. We'll also delve into some of the common questions about containers like what a container is, what's a Dockerfile, Docker images versus containers, how .NET developers can use containers, how deployments work, and how Microsoft is partnering with Docker.

Nappy Rashes In Infants Learn About the Water Cycle 4.3 Sentences: subject and object A sentence consists of a number of words which, to make sense, must include a verb. Unless this is the only word in the sentence (as in ‘Run!’), there will normally be a word telling us who or what is doing the action. This doer, whether noun or pronoun, is called the subject of the verb. Consider these sentences: The players ran onto the pitch.

For example, the (x, y)-plane is the plane that contain The Enigma Machine - Encryption 1.7.1 Enzymes: nature's catalysts It will probably come as no surprise to you that chemical reactions, including the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin, do not occur instantaneously and the rate at which they take place can be very variable. Some reactions are over in a flash, such as the burning of gunpowder, and others take months, such as rust formation on a car. All chemical reactions can be speeded up by increasing the temperature of the reactants. In the laboratory one often ‘cooks’ reaction mixtures 1.4.2 The functional group approach It is the classification of functional groups that simplifies the study of organic chemistry (the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon). With many millions of known organic compounds, and more being added by the day, it would be hopeless if their properties could not be systematised in some way. It turns out that a given functional group usually has the same chemical properties whatever carbon chain it is bonded to, so once the general properties of each functional group are known, all Hypertext Between Research and Teaching: An Experience in a Didactic Building Technology Laboratory

The development of the World Wide Web into an active, visual social environment poses unique opportunities for the design professions. Multi-user Domains, social meeting places in cyberspace, are mostly text-based virtual realities which use spatial references to set the stage for social interaction. Over the past year design students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology School of Architecture have investigated several text-based domains. In the course of their work, they envisioned and gra
This professionally-made video from Brain Pop uses simple terms and computer animation to explain what the black hole is. Key vocabulary words also include: Milky Way, gravitational pull, event horizon,and  space-time. Run time 04:54.
This dissertation articulates opportunities offered by architectural computation, in particular the digital simulation of space known as virtual reality (VR) and its networked, social variant cyberspace. Research suggests that environments that hybridize technologies call for a conception of space as information, i.e. space is both a product of and tool for cognition. The thesis proposes a model whereby architecture can employ this concept of space in creating hybrids that integrate physical a
During the Nobel Lecture Kailash Satyarthi lost some pages from the manuscript so he started to tell a story that he remembers from his childhood.
Interview at the Nobel Foundation 12 December 2014. Kailash Satyarthi is awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize together with Malala Yousafzai, "for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education".
Free of the constraints of physical form and limited only by imagination, new environments spring to life daily in a fantastic realm called cyberspace. The creators of this new virtual world may be programmers, designers, architects, even children. In this invigorating exploration of the juncture between cyberspace and the physical world, architect Peter Anders brings together leading-edge cyberspace art and architecture ... inspiring new techniques and technologies ... unexpected unions of real

Brazil has so many historical cities with important architectural heritage. Some of them are remains of the colonial times and aggregate beautiful buildings such as, palaces, public buildings and churches in baroque style, legacy of the Portuguese colonization. Despite of its cultural value, most of these building sets are under several kinds of threats. This paper discusses about the experience on digital photogrammetric restitution of the building fa?ades of Pelourinho, a neighborhood in the

IPER (hypertext for the knowledge of building patrimony) is the result of a research developed with C.N.R. (National Research Institute). The aim of IPER is to provide the knowledge, the description and the management of one or more historical buildings for public or private institutions. IPER allowed us to improve our methodology of building analysis, covering various disciplinary fields, in two different systems. (1.) the first one, synthetic and suitable for a group of historical buildings, (
