6.2.10 Portals A portal is a website which collects catalogues and characterises a huge amount of information. By displaying a large number of hyperlinks such sites provide an entrance (or portal) to the World Wide Web. Search engines originally provided fairly basic searching facilities; however, the past two years has seen them evolve Portals on the nncmci into portals. Portals are categorised as either horizontal portals or vertical portals. A vertical portal offers an entrance to large am
IPL: Nancy Longnecker "Effective Science Communication - a scientific approach
Professor Nancy Longnecker delivered her Inaugural Professorial Lecture on the 15th of September 2015. Nancy's journey from Biologist to communicator to researcher in Sciecne communication has been a fascinating one, and her current work in evaluation of science communication experiences is vital in validating, fine-tuning and and sometimes revolutionising the field.

In each case, take as your point of reference other Napoleonic propaganda paintings and, in particular, Gros's Jaffa. Farm Animal Sounds for Children EN-10. Biodiversity and traditional knowledge (Vidéo) Jean-Dominique Wahiche evokes the law of the biodiversity and of traditional knowledge. On the basis of a definition of the heritage notion, he recounts the history of international negotiations about those questions, until the 2010 Nagoya protocol. He evidences the recognition and the accrued protection of this traditional knowledge. 5.1 Identifying edges of a polygon In this section, we revisit the construction of surfaces by identifying edges of polygons, as described in Section 2. Recall that, if we take any polygon in the plane and identify some of its edges in pairs, then we obtain a surface. When specifying how a given pair of edges is to be identified, we choose one of the two possible re Warwick joins the Santander Universities network 2.2 Theories, documents and knowledge Documentary evidence is often messy and inconsistent, and even where it seems to be ‘factual’ (for example in the form of official records) its precise meaning in terms of wider social processes is far from clear. There is uncertainty about what it means, as well as the representation of uncertainty and diversity in the images. In every case, the meaning of the evidence is dependent on interpretation, that is, the part of the theory we employ to understand what is going on. Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: identify some key themes in discourse analysis appreciate the consequences of discourse research for some key topics in social science, such as indentity, interaction and subjectivity be familiar with some discourse analytical techniques and their consequences for analysing social interactions. 4.2 Social dynamics Yet another type of diagram is given in this section. Take a preliminary look at Figure 7, which is a way of illustrating the relationship Introduction Many people have the impression that underground water occupies vast caverns, such as those in the Derbyshire Peak District, flowing from one cavern to another along underground rivers. This is a common misconception: underground caverns are fairly rare, but huge quantities of water exist underground, within rocks. This is because many rocks contain pores, spaces that come in all shapes and sizes. In sediments, and consequently sedimentary rocks, there are often pores between grains which can 4.3.3 After the exam When you come out of the exam try to forget it. Going over what you have written with other students can make you worry about areas you haven't covered. Go and enjoy a planned treat as a personal reward for all your hard work.

A service is provided by one layer to the layer above, and the capabilities of a service are defined in terms of primitives and their parameters. A service relates to two adjacent layers in the same system. In contrast, a protocol defines the communication between two 1.2.2 Summary The results of successive editions of the Eurobarometer show that in most EU countries only a very small percentage of people, around 5 per cent, declare having an exclusive European identity, while up to 50 per cent do not have any sense of European identity. European political identity is weak and there is a great variation across states.

What’s in the air you breathe and how do you know it’s safe? Pollution control is vital since nobody has a choice when it comes to inhaling the air around them. This album introduces the scientific processes behind air monitoring and air quality management. The five video tracks explore the nature of pollution arising from different forms of transport, and look at how data is interpreted and how pollutants can be minimised. To complete the album, Senior Lecturer Rod Barratt explains the cho
