The Article linked above is about children in Ghana, Africa getting poisoned by chemicals that are in the electronic waste fields there. Its very informative and horrifying that we are one of the three largest contributors to these waste fields.

This article is especially disturbing considering I am a heavy user of computer components. There has got to be a better way to deal with this waste.

http://www.basel.int/TheConvention/MediaResources/NewsFeatures/EwasteattheITUGreenStandardsWeek/tabid/3348/Default.aspx I researched more on the Basel Convention and found out there was a conference this last week on E- Waste. It will be good to see what the more recent regulations and how to enforce them was discussed this week.

This site offers options right at the beginning from six brochures that are electronically published. Each brochure covers a different topic such as breast cancer, eye disease, heart diseases, diabetes, stroke, or even HIV-AIDS. Then by clicking on one, it brings up a electronic site of the brochure that has information leading to that topic. Overall, very recommendable.

this is a great resources for testing electronic equipment

This is a site that is supposed to help people learn about the structure of the atom. It is also supposed to clear up any misconceptions about how the atom is organized and what it is made up of. This article talks about the particles that make up the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and how electrons really orbit the an atom. This site is all about atoms and how the forces within them work, allowing them to bond together. I would recommend this site to anyone who wants to learn more about atoms, it has more information than we go into in class, so it would be helpful to anyone who wants to do extra work.

this site is a great resource for people who are interested in electronics or some one who needs to fix something and thinks that a bridge rectifier is the culpret

Lecture 2's emphasis is on the hydrogen atom. The lecture specifically addressed the binding energies of the electron and nucleus, verification of hydrogen-atom energy levels and wavefunctions or orbitals (for the hydrogen atom), explained using the Schrödinger equation and diagrams.

this is a great sour to understand how a relay works and the the different types of relays

This PDF was made from a pamphlet produce by Delco Remy to service their Voltage regulators. information such as this is quit hard to come by nowadays since everything is electronic instead of mechanical.

Botanical Dermatology PHYTOPHOTODERMATITIS Phytophotodermatitis connotes phototoxic reactions consisting of erythema (with or without blistering) and delayed hyperpigmentation. Phototoxicity implies an immediate or delayed inflammatory reaction caused by the combination of a topical or oral photosensitizing agent followed by the appropriate wavelength of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) to the skin.37 This response can occur in any person who has been exposed to adequate amounts of a photosensitizing chemical and UVR. This discussed the reaction between skin and the oils of any plant like parsnip

MIT's Opencourseware course 5.111 is an introductory on biological, organic and inorganic molecules, emphasizing basic principles ranging from electronic structure to chemical kinetics. The source is a well refined, college-level course that thoroughly explains each of the topics it intends to address through recorded college lectures.
