Integrative Biology 131 - Lecture 32: Digestive System
Integrative Biology 131: General Human Anatomy. Fall 2005. Professor Marian Diamond. The functional anatomy of the human body as revealed by gross and microscopic examination.
The Department of Integrative Biology offers a program of instruction that focuses on the integration of structure and function in the evolution of diverse biological systems. It investigates integration at all levels of organization from molecules to the biosphere, and in all taxa of organisms from viruses to higher plants and animals.
The department uses many traditional fields and levels of complexity in forging new research directions, asking new questions, and answering traditional questions in new ways. The various...

This video represents lightning strikes across the United States during all of 2011. The graphic images were created by David Romps, UC Berkeley atmospheric scientist and assistant professor of earth and planetary science. The data of lightning strikes was recorded by the National Lightning Detection Network at SUNY-Albany. (The video's soundtrack is NOT related to the research study.) Romps and colleagues predict a 50 percent increase in cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in the contiguous 48 states by 2100 as a result of global warming.

Physics 111 Advanced Laboratory. Professor Sumner Davis
This video accompanies the Beta Ray Spectroscopy Experiment, providing students with an introduction to the theory, apparatus, and procedures.
Radioactive decay of nuclei by emission of beta rays (electrons) is a fundamental phenomenon of nuclear physics. In this experiment you will measure the energies and momenta of beta rays emitted by radioactive cesium. A study of the number of electrons emitted vs. the momentum yields information about decay processes. Once you observe the beta decay spectrum, you will model the phenomenon with a Fermi-Kurie plot that incorporates the theory of beta decay and determines the maximum energy available in the decay process
