100 Best Open Science Courses on the Web
It’s never too late or too early to start expanding your knowledge of science. With the wealth of free courses available on the web, that goal is easier than ever to achieve and can often be done without even leaving the house. The courses listed here will help you get started, offering resources on a wide variety of scientific fields from those that delve into the laws of the universe to those that explain the chemical reactions taking place in your own kitchen. Physics Use these courses to learn about both the basics and some of the more advanced topics in physics. Fundamentals of Physics: In this course Professor Ramamurti Shankar will teach you about the basic principles of physics. Chemistry Give these chemistry courses a try to get a handle on many aspects of the subject. Freshman Organic Chemistry: Use the lessons in this course to teach yourself about the theories and principles of organic chemistry. Biology Study cells, systems, plants and more through these free courses. Astronomy

Википедия — свободная энциклопедия How To Build A Fireball You Can Hold Video Astrobiology - The Hunt for Life Beyond Earth The Drake equation, formulated in 1961, estimates the number of alien civilizations we could detect. Recent discoveries of ­numerous planets in the Milky Way have raised the odds. The final step: Multiply the number of radio-savvy civilizations by the average time they're likely to keep broadcasting or even to survive. If such advanced societies typically blow themselves up in a nuclear holocaust just a few dec­ades after developing radio technology, for example, there would probably be very few to listen for at any given time. The equation made perfect sense, but there was one problem. It would be a third of a century before scientists could even begin to put rough estimates into the equation. Nobody thought for a moment that life could ever take hold in such hellish conditions. None of these planets is an exact match for Earth, but scientists are confident they'll find one that is before too long. That's good news for astrobiologists. Take the Mexican cave.

Khan Academy - BRAINTEASERS Глицерин Глицери́н (1,2,3-триоксипропан, пропантриол-1,2,3) — простейший представитель трёхатомных спиртов. Представляет собой вязкую прозрачную жидкость. Физические свойства[править | править исходный текст] Глицерин — бесцветная, вязкая, очень гигроскопичная жидкость, смешивается с водой в любых пропорциях. Химические свойства[править | править исходный текст] Химические свойства глицерина типичны для многоатомных спиртов. Взаимодействие глицерина с галогеноводородами или галогенидами фосфора ведёт к образованию моно- и дигалогенгидринов. При дегидратации он образует токсичный акролеин: и окисляется до глицеринового альдегида CH2OHCHOHCHO, дигидроксиацетона CH2OHCOCH2OH или глицериновой кислоты CH2OHCHOHCOOH. Место глицерина в обмене веществ живых организмов[править | править исходный текст] Получение[править | править исходный текст] Глицерин впервые был получен в 1779 году Шееле при омылении жиров в присутствии окислов свинца. Производные глицерина[править | править исходный текст] На русском языке:

Antibiotic Resistance eedwood House Farm is easy to miss. Only a small sign - the bright pink image of a pig - suspended from a fence post hints at anything of significance down the one-way track that leads off the main road. After a few hundred metres of bouncing over mud and gravel, it is the pungent smell that smacks you first. A hundred or so piglets are excitedly clambering over each other or snuffling around the muddy floor of the gated outdoor enclosure where they are waiting to be transported for slaughter. This is the flagship operation of Midland Pig Producers, which runs nine farms across the country producing 80 tonnes of meat a week to supply Tesco, Marks and Spencer and Asda. A decision is expected shortly on Midland Pig’s so-called Foston Mega Farm, which will house 25,000 intensively reared indoor pigs, making it one of the largest in Europe.
