A whole semester of lectures and class notes for structural analysis 2 for civil engineers.

SCI 210: Oceanography Chapter 5: The Atmosphere and Ocean Learning Objectives In this chapter, we examine radiational heating and cooling of the Earth-atmosphere system: 1. the interaction of incoming solar radiation with the atmosphere, ocean, and continents, 2. the flow of infrared radiation to space, and 3. the greenhouse effect. We also discuss heat transport by atmospheric and oceanic circulations 1. Understand atmospheric circulation as it relates to ocean circulation. INTRO...

Describes the role that egg yolk and shell play in avian development as well as how they are formed. Also details the genetic processes involved in avian development and axis formation. Also describes stages of cell division within the embryo and formation of the notochord.

Details the cellular and genetic process in drosophila development, specifically the role that nuclear aggregation, synchronized division, maternal effect genes, and segment polarity play in development.

Describes the genes involved in sex determination and gametogenesis in flies and humans, and errors that occur in gametogenesis.

Details how epigenetics influences embryonic development and fertilization, the process by which epigenetics affects transcription and gene expression, and the role of cadherin, kinases, and fibroblast growth factor. Also describes several significant genetic processes in embryonic development and gene transcription.

Describes the structure of sperm and egg involved in external fertilization and their life stages. Describes the process in which sperm enters the egg and begins cell division. Includes descriptions of issues and errors that occur with external fertilization including polyspermy and membrane depolarization.

Describes the physical and genetic components of frog fertilization and embryonic stages. Describes rotation and polarity of frog embryo and the polarity of the blastula. Also describes epiboly and intercalation of embryonic germ layers.

Details genetic processes of invertebrate embryonic development. Describes the stages of invertebrate embryonic development and growth. Describes autonomous specification in tunicates and rotational symmetry in embryos, as well as the establishment of anterior-posterior polarity.

Describes the genetic components of mammalian embryonic development, the stages of fertilization, and early division events. Explains the role that Hox genes play in limb development and transcriptional expression.
