A new paradigm for ocean carbon observations is emerging with the rapid advances in autonomous measurements of carbon systems with the success of robotic ocean profiling Carbon Explorers, autonomous sensors for particulate organic and inorganic carbon (POC and PIC), and new instruments which will measure year-long high frequency records of POC and PIC sedimentation in the very observation-poor ...

Muslim Rebellion (1856-73) the movements of troops again disrupted the ecological equilibrium, and further plague epidemics ensued. The war also forced the opium traders to take an alternative trade route between Yunnan, which was a major Chinese opium growing area, and Lingnan. The ecological conditions of the new route were more favourable for the spread of plague. After 1860 plague gradually...

Science consists of both a body of knowledge and a process by which the knowledge is produced. Historically, these two aspects were often assessed separately (i.e., test items on knowledge and test items on skills) and taught relatively separately (e.g., with an introduction section on skills or via isolated projects or labs). The last decade has been marked by a substantial shift to an integra...

From the start of their studies students in condensed matter physics are exposed to ordered systems. These systems can be very simple and give insight into the physics of many materials. However it seems that much of what is learned in ordered systems cannot be brought to disordered systems. Instead new conceptual understandings much be reached will very different consquences. One of these is t...
