7.014 Introductory Biology (MIT)
The MIT Biology Department core courses, 7.012, 7.013, and 7.014, all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organism

2.4 Examples of layer functions There are several functions that can be performed at one or more of the OSI layers. Some of the more common ones are discussed below.
Connection control
For connection-oriented services, a connection must be established between peer entities. A connection has three phases: connection set-up, data transfer and connection clear. If the peer protocol supports connections, each protocol data unit type corresponds to a primitive type; for instance, a connection request primiti
2.2 Narrative events Any narrative is made up of a series of events or incidents, arranged in a particular way. This can be defined as the plot of the story. Consider, as an example, Ernest Hemingway’s appropriately entitled ‘A Very Short Story’ (Hemingway, 1944, pp. 135–6). Different readers will summarise the story in different ways, allocating different levels of significance to various narrative events. If you can access a copy of the story, you might like to try and summarise it yourself and compare

Think of times in the recent past when gender 7.2 Should I unsubscribe from mailing lists? Many spam messages have a line at the bottom offering to unsubscribe you from a mailing list, but you should be very wary of doing this. Quite often the senders of the spam will use the 'unsubscribe' option to verify that your email address is live. They may then sell your address to other people for use in spamming. So using the unsubscribe option can increase your spam rather than reduce it. Our advice is never to use the unsubscribe option unless the mail you receive is from a well-known, Learning to learn: learning can mean change 1 Sets In Section 1 we discuss the idea of a set and describe some ways to define sets. We illustrate our discussion with sets of numbers and with geometrical sets of points in the plane. We also explain how to check whether two given sets are equal and whether one set is a subset of another. Finally, we introduce the set operations of union, intersection and difference.

Author(s): 8.1 Introduction You know by now that plants can synthesise all the complex molecules that make up their tissues and seeds from very simple molecules - water, carbon dioxide and minerals from the soil. Mammals, on the other hand, need to take in many complex molecules ready-made, and some foods do not contain the right amounts or the right mix of nutrients. They have evolved various strategies to overcome the shortfalls, some of which are described in this section. 1 What is monitoring? Monitoring means gathering evidence to show what progress has been made towards strategic priorities and targets and the implementation of policies. Evaluation means making judgements about the results. DfES 2003, National Training Programme for New Governors, Module 2, p. 4. Monitoring is a key aspect of governors' remit; it is necessary so that governing bodies can carry out their strat Re-assessing the Marquis de Sade A CAVE-Interface in CAAD-Education Virtual Maths - Numbers, 2D Triangle simulation tool 1 The problem with crime: Glasgow Sean Damer examines the problem of crime in relation to Glasgow.

Most of us heave a huge sigh of relief when it is all over and then try to put it out of our minds during the weeks while we wait for the results. When these arrive, it is very difficult to think back to the exam itself or revisit the details of the end-of-course assessment.

Donatien Alphonse François, better known as The Marquis de Sade, is infamous throughout literature and popular culture for a life and body of work that pushed boundaries. Literally synonymous with sexual and violent excess, his reputation as a writer is often clouded by the extreme nature of his work. In a series of lively and engaging discussions, Alex Barber, Angelica Goodden and Timo Airaksinen re-assess both the man and his writing in social, historical and literary contexts, providing an i
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 two experiments are discribed. The possibilities are discussed and some problems and question
