  1. Molecular biology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their viruses. Mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription, translation. Structure of genes and chromosomes. Regulation of gene expression. Biochemical processes and principles in membrane structure and function, intracellular trafficking and subcellular compartmentation, cytoskeletal architecture, nucleocytoplasmic transport, signal transduction mechanisms, and cell cycle control.

  2. This course presents the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior for students beginning their study of biology and of the environment. It discusses major ideas and results in a manner accessible to all Yale College undergraduates. Recent advances have energized these fields with results that have implications well beyond their boundaries: ideas, mechanisms, and processes that should form part of the toolkit of all biologists and edu...more

  3. Early Modern England: Politics, Religion, and Society under the Tudors and Stuarts (HIST 251)Professor Wrightson provides a broad sketch of the social order of early modern England, focusing on the hierarchical language of ''estates'' and ''degrees'' and the more communitarian ideal of the ''commonwealth'' by which society was organized. The differences between the social structure in rural and urban areas are addressed and the subordinate...more

  4. April 18, 2008 lecture by Steve Whittaker for the Stanford University Human Computer Interaction Seminar (CS547). Steve Whittaker reviews the Digital Memories vision, briefly present various studies that challenge that vision, moving on to suggest an alternative approach to the topic that is informed by cognitive science, suggesting that instead of focusing on exhaustive capture we should be designing prosthetic memory devices that are (a...more

  5. Genetic transmission is the mechanism that drives evolution. DNA encodes all the information necessary to make an organism. Every organism's DNA is made of the same basic parts, arranged in different orders. DNA is divided into chromosomes, or groups of genes, which code for proteins. Asexually reproducing organisms reproduce using mitosis, while sexually reproducing organisms reproduce using meiosis. Both these mechanisms involve duplicat...more

  6. The head TA for Introduction to Chemical Engineering (E20) fills in for Professor Channing Robertson and discusses the modern oil refinery, focusing upon the process and mechanisms behind refining crude oil.

  7. Professor Sylvia Ceyer investigates chemical reaction mechanisms: rate, order, molecularity, steady-state approximation, and rate determing steps.

  8. Introduction to Reaction Mechanisms. Addition reaction to an alkene.
