Past-Time Lover: Charles Darwin

...data on the flora and fauna as well as geology of the destinations we visited. Fossils of extinct creatures and shipments of insects and birds were shipped back to Cambridge for identification. My exploration of the Galapagos was truly remarkable! You can read all about these adventures in my journal - The Voyage of the Beagle – it won’t be wasted time, I assure you....

How our brain changes as we grow old: the Blood Brain Barrier breakdown

...women since most of the data available was obtained studying men. In conclusion, researching the dysfunction of the BBB during ageing in females is an essential step to understand the mechanisms underlying several age-related conditions. It also will help us to find new treatments against some of the most important neurological pathologies. More on the brain and dementia...

A new mission to the icy moons of Jupiter

...data from the top few millimetres of the surface. The radar sounder will be able to penetrate much deeper, several kilometres beneath the surface, which will help us determine the thickness of the ice shells and depth of the oceans. Other instruments will give us a much better idea of the composition of the surface. We’ll also learn more about how the moons are...

The ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa

...data, scientists found that Jupiter’s magnetic field lines were disturbed around Europa, suggesting Europa itself was producing a magnetic field. However, unlike Earth’s magnetic field, which is generated by a molten iron core, Europa’s magnetic field is likely to be generated in an electrically conductive layer 200 km below the moon’s surface. Using computer...

...data. The approach adopted is to develop a probability model for a practical situation and then to investigate the properties of the model. Students are expected to be familiar with basic probability, random variables and expectation and the Poisson process. Modelling events in time consists of material from M343 Book 2, Modelling events in time and space, and has six...

...analysis of data. Ken Welsh We have excavated nearly 100 hectares which really is a very large area, and that is 100 hectares of a prehistoric and Roman landscape, and because we have dug such a lot, instead of just as archaeologists normally do, just see a key hole, they might see a small bit of a settlement here or part of a field here, we have been able to see the...
