PHYSICS 109N INDEX TO LECTURES Link to physics 109n Home Page physics 109N OVERVIEW AND LECTURE INDEX. Counting in Babylon Babylon involved. Link to physics 109n Home Page. http://www.phys.virginia.edu/classes/109N/lectures/lecturelist.html
Extractions: Babylon had in all probability the earliest written language. At the same time, an elegant system of weights and measures kept the peace in the marketplace. Their method of counting was in some ways better than our present one! We look at some ancient math tables, and ideas about Pythagoras' theorem 1,000 years before Pythagoras. In the ancient port city of Miletus, there took place a "discovery of nature": philosophers tried to understand natural phenomena without invoking the supernatural. The Greeks imported basic geometric ideas from Egypt, and developed them further. Members of the Pythagorean cult announced the famous theorem, and the (to them) alarming discovery of irrational numbers! The Greeks had some ideas about elements and atoms. Hippocrates looked for non-supernatural causes of disease. Plato formulated a rationale for higher education, and thought about atoms.
NEC Lectures On Biophysics Biological networks course for physics students and fellows, 1620 June 2002 Princeton, NJ. Includes schedule from last year, profiles of speakers, and application information. http://www.neci.nj.nec.com/biophysics
Extractions: Participants Many biological phenomena are especially remarkable from a physical point of view. This year's lectures will focus on biological networks. Topics are chosen to illustrate the opportunities for research at the interface of physics and biology, especially the convergence of theoretical issues and new experimental insights. The orientation is toward graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with a physics background. Lectures will be held at NEC Research Institute and students will be housed at Princeton University.
Extractions: Fusion energy and plasma physics research is the primary mission of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).

Howstuffworks "How Boomerangs Work" Illustrated tutorial explains the physics behind the propellerlike flight of the boomerang. http://www.howstuffworks.com/boomerang.htm
Extractions: Table of Contents Introduction to How Boomerangs Work What is It? Why Does It Fly? Why Does It Come Back? How Do I Throw One? How Was It Invented? Lots More Information When most of us think of boomerangs , we imagine somebody (quite possibly a cartoon character) throwing a banana-shaped stick that eventually turns around and comes right back to the thrower's hand (possibly after hitting another cartoon character in the head). This idea is simply amazing, and as children, our first reaction to such a device was: This stick is obviously possessed with magical powers! Of course, the person or people who discovered the boomerang hadn't actually found a magical stick, but they had come upon an amazing application of some complex laws of physics. In this edition of HowStuffWorks , we'll break down the physical principles that make boomerangs work, see what happens as a boomerang flies through the air and find out the proper way to throw a boomerang so that it comes back to you. We'll also delve a little into the history of boomerangs to see how they came about in the first place. Boomeranging is an amazing demonstration of scientific principles as well as a terrific sport you can enjoy all by yourself.
Living State Physics SQUID magnetometry, cardiac electrodynamics, cellular biophysics, and biomagnetic measurements research at Vanderbilt University. http://www.vanderbilt.edu/lsp/
Extractions: Corrosion - Martian meteorite At Vanderbilt University , Living State Physics merges research at the forefront of physics with exciting and significant biomedical investigations. It is an interdisciplinary field that draws upon the tools, methods, and theories of physics, biology, engineering, and medicine, as well as computational physics and non-linear dynamics, to increase our understanding of biological systems and phenomena. Physicists have already made significant contributions to medicine and biology, primarily in medical physics, which emphasizes the application of radiation to diagnosis, imaging, and therapy; and in biophysics, which is concerned largely with the properties and behavior of biological molecules. There are, however, innumerable, unexplored biomedical applications of physics. Hence, the term Living State Physics is both an excellent name for this broad field and an appropriate parallel to the more familiar field of solid state physics, which applies numerous techniques and theories to study solids. Living State Physics elucidates, as no other discipline does, living functions and mechanisms, biological states, and pathological conditions.

It was taken during one of our animal experiment where contrast was injected into the coronary artery. The image above is the 3D reconstruction of a pig's coronary artery. The information was reconstructed from CT scans of a cast of the coronary tree.
