"Higher Ed: The Next Five Years" with the Texas Tribune
The Texas Tribune is excited to present a special statewide series of public events looking ahead five years in eight major policy areas: criminal justice, energy, the environment, health, higher education, immigration, public education and transportation. Each event will feature a conversation with leading thinkers and policymakers on that day's particular subject.
Join us in Lubbock for the first installment of this series: a discussion on the future of higher education in Texas. Tribune CEO
7.3 Internalizing and interrogating key ideas In addition to revisiting your notes at different times throughout the year, you might also look for opportunities to discuss key ideas with someone else - either a fellow student or someone outside of The Open University who is interested in contemporary social science debates. This can provide a helpful stimulus to internalizing them. Debating issues with someone else may well help you to generate further questions and critical observations, all part of processing and interrogating m

7.3 Review the whole process Before you file away your assignment and return to your current study, spend a little time reviewing the whole process of preparing, exploring, implementing and reviewing your assignment. Review what you did and how you did it in each of the four phases. Trying to identify just one thing that went well and one thing that you could have done differently can help you in your future study. Remember that your review should focus on the process of the preparation

7.2 Site-directed mutagenesis The application of site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) to the study of protein function has been illustrated with the enzyme lysozyme, as described previously. SDM is a very powerful technique in the study of protein function, allowing the experimenter to assess the importance of particular amino acid side-chains in a protein. It is most commonly used in the study of enzymes; however, it is also very useful in identifying key residues in protein–protein interactions. In this section, we will co
Part II: The Trucking Industry: Transition from Diesel to Natural Gas Is on Deck
The U.S. trucking industry faces major technological disruption – a switch from diesel fuel to natural gas products. This means new – and more expensive – engines and other infrastructure investments. But after a relatively short payback period, substantial fuel savings and environmental advantages offer significant incentives to plunge ahead.

A CAVE-Interface in CAAD-Education?
The so called "CAVE-interface" is a very interesting and thrilling development for architects! It supports a better illusion of space by exposing almost a 270? view of a computer model than the 60? which can be viewed on an ordinary computer screen. At the Lund University we have got the possibility to experiment with a CAVE-installation, using it in research and the education of CAAD. The technique and three experiments are discribed. The possibilities are discussed and some problems and questi
5.2 The obscuring torus If an AGN consisted solely of the central engine, observers would see X-rays and ultraviolet radiation from the hot accretion disc (accounting for the 'the big blue bump' in Figure 17) and, apart from the jets, very little else. To account for the strong infrared emission from many AGNs, the model includes a t
