Pages : 358

Book Description
The author writes with the aim of encouraging the people of God in the 'faith once for all delivered to the saints.' In these days of confusion and uncertainty in the world, he would remind the Church that its 'redemption draws near.' In the light of this awareness, we must strengthen 'those things that remain, ' that we may persevere and so be found faithful at His appearing. To this end he would clarify, augment and hopefully simplify what he wrote in his earlier work, 'He Comes' and 'You shall See His Glory in the Morning.' He also would finish a work that was intended to extend to a few pages but has ended with three volumes. May the God of all grace use this work for the strengthening of His people and the glory of His great and Holy name. James Brown was educated at Edinburgh and Aberdeen. After working in secular occupations for some time, he served as a minister in the Church of Scotland for thirty five years. He now serves as a Locum in the Church. He cannot improve on the the advice given to Robert Murray McCheyne as he entered his ministry by an aunt who urged him, 'Always say a good word for Jesus.' He would like to think that by the grace of God, he has endeavoured throughout the years to do just that.

Basic Music Reference

Author: Alan Green
Publisher: A-R Editions, Inc.
ISBN: 0895797453
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 141

Book Description
Basic Music Reference is a quick-start guide designed to introduce library employees to the basic tools and techniques involved in answering questions related to music. As in every specialist subject area, music has its own terminology, but unlike most, it also has a multitude of formatson paper and other materialsas well as special notation and frequent use of foreign languages in titles and texts. These features make it particularly difficult for library employees to answer users questions and thus a guide such as this one is essential. Not all libraries with a music collection can afford to hire a music reference librarian. Even libraries with such a specialist rely on support staff and student employees to answer questions when the music librarian is not available. Whatever the scenario, this volume will serve as a helpful training tool for library employees to learn about the basic music reference tools, and to develop the techniques of greatest use when answering the most common types of music-related questions

Bioinformatics Methods and Protocols

Author: Stephen Misener
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1592591922
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 495

Book Description
Computers have become an essential component of modern biology. They help to manage the vast and increasing amount of biological data and continue to play an integral role in the discovery of new biological relationships. This in silico approach to biology has helped to reshape the modern biological sciences. With the biological revolution now among us, it is imperative that each scientist develop and hone today’s bioinformatics skills, if only at a rudimentary level. Bioinformatics Methods and Protocols was conceived as part of the Methods in Molecular Biology series to meet this challenge and to provide the experienced user with useful tips and an up-to-date overview of current developments. It builds upon the foundation that was provided in the two-volume set published in 1994 entitled Computer Analysis of Sequence Data. We divided Bioinformatics Methods and Protocols into five parts, including a thorough survey of the basic sequence analysis software packages that are available at most institutions, as well as the design and implemen- tion of an essential introductory Bioinformatics course. In addition, we included sections describing specialized noncommercial software, databases, and other resources available as part of the World Wide Web and a stimul- ing discussion of some of the computational challenges biologists now face and likely future solutions.

Water Related Education, Training and Technology Transfer

Author: Andre van der Beken

Languages : en
Pages : 448

Book Description
Water Related Education, Training and Technology Transfer is a component of Encyclopedia of Water Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Learning processes offer knowledge, skills, and competencies to the individual through different methods of education and training. The learning society and the concept of lifelong learning form the basis for the so-called “knowledge-based” economy. Since water resources development and management are an essential part of this economy, education, training, and transfer of technology for water resources should be seen as important aspects of societal policies for a sustainable future. This book starts with a little history, and introduces several issues related to water resources in the learning environment. What does the water profession expect from education? We must consider the methods and tools used the need to match demand and supply, and quality assessment of education and training. Transfer of technology to close the technology gap between countries can only be effective if an enabling learning environment exists. Capacity building must ensure that this environment is sustainable. This volume is aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

Book Description
**This is the chapter slice "How Changes in Salt Water Could Change Our Lives Gr. 5-8" from the full lesson plan "Conservation: Ocean Water Resources"** The oceans contain 97% of the Earth's water, cover 71% of its surface, and hold 50-80% of all life on the planet. Our resource explores the importance of conserving this vast area. Design a board game that illustrates the effects of climate change on Earth's oceans. See how the water cycle explains why most of Earth's salt water is found in the oceans. Find out how climate change will affect ocean currents, resulting in a dramatic change to the farming and fishing industries. Explain how an increase in human population can cause some salt lakes to shrink. Conduct a case study on a container ship that lost several containers in a storm in the north Pacific Ocean. Make your own salt water to represent Earth's oceans and experience what it would be like to visit them. Get tips on what we can do to help protect ocean water.
