This is Part A of two programs which include the propagation and processing of Australian native species together with American and Caribbean pines. The processes covered by this program are: Ecology Classification and structure - hardwoods and softwoods Harvesting - clear felling; shelter trees; plantations Structure of a tree trunk Saw milling - back sawn; quarter sawn; radial sawn Drying of hardwoods Use of hardwoods - structural timbers;...

Henry meets a Microscope. He has discovered the cure for smelly burps but when the that cure is lost in an accident it's up to Henry to save the day. Henry becomes a Scientist and after many experiments he recreates the cure once again.

Creating a brand new person requires a complex biological process featuring a cast of microscopic characters. Viewers learn about fertilization and how chromosomes determine the gender and physical attributes of a baby. We show how a single cell develops into an embryo and follow the rapidly changing stages of fetal development. Students also examine the importance of prenatal care, nutrition and a healthy prenatal environment.

Today’s networked culture is a dream come true for researchers in fields from marketing to sociology to epidemiology. Learn how big data puts potentially everyone and everything under the microscope of analysis, creating a comprehensive view of the intricate reality in which we are all mere atoms..

This program covers the basic optical properties of the microscope and demonstrates the correct procedure to set up bright field illumination. It shows the technique of oil immersion and describes the calibration of the eyepiece graticule. Filmed in a clinical environment at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, living samples are viewed under bright field, phase contrast, differential interference contrast and fluorescent microscopy.

Every minute of every day, our bodies are fending off microscopic threats with extreme precision and speed. This episode looks at various people to uncover the wildly advanced biology that keeps us alive against all odds.

Specifically designed for and correlated to the curriulum of a elementary school science course, this series explores key introductory topics on the living world and helps instructors to teach challenging concepts. The films, and accompanying teacher materials, are a great asset for teachers and teachers in training to use to integrate video into their lesson plans to capture the attention of young minds and enhance learning. The videos in the series...

What we eat affects the functionality of every microscopic process inside each of our 30 trillion cells. Learn how the nutrients absorbed from our food protect cells from damage, provide the fuel used by the mitochondria to produce energy, and continually create new cells to replace old or damaged cells.

Using the resources of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, this film illustrates the development of neuroscience from its classical reliance on information from brain injuries and autopsies through the new insights discovered with electronic microscopes, EEG equipment, PET scans and MRI machines. Examples of current research that utilize these tools are presented including a study on the role of mirror neurons in autism and the mapping of a woman's several...
