Discusses Hubble's Law, the cosmic distance scale,and the intergalactic medium. Department enforced requisite, senior level undergraduate physics. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Covers energy metabolism and anabolic/catabolic pathways; metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids; photosynthesis; special topics on human diseases with pathologies and metabolic pathways. Same as CHEM 4720. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Explores the function of the nervous system, including how the properties of neurons influence nervous system activity, how the nervous system controls the activity of muscles and how the sensory effects of muscle activity influence the function of the nervous system. Department enforced prerequisites: one year of general biology (lecture + lab) and one year of general chemistry (lecture + lab), IPHY 2800 (or equivalent); IPHY 3410. Same as IPHY 4720. Requisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY or C-IPHY) graduate students only.
Begins with early modern Japan, proceeds through the era of rapid modernization after the Meiji Restoration in the mid-19th century, and concludes with Japan's gradual descent into prolonged war, first with China and then in the Pacific. HIST 4728 and 5728 are the same course. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Explores stellar atmospheres: basic stellar atmospheres, spectral line formation, interpretation of stellar spectra, and model atmospheres. Examines solar physics: the Sun as a star, solar cycle, chromospheric and coronal structure, energy balance, magnetic field, and solar wind. Department enforced prereqs., ASTR 5110 and undergraduate physics. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Investigates human motor control by integrating concepts from exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology. Applications are made to clinical and educational exercise contexts. Recommended prereqs., IPHY 3410 and IPHY 3470. Same as IPHY 4730.
Studies in detail the theory of cardinal and ordinal numbers, definition by recursion, the statement of the continuum hypothesis, simple cardinal arithmetic, and other topics chosen by the instructor. Same as MATH 4730.
Investigates global processes as they affect local (Cuban) experience. Draws on texts from anthropology, history, policy, literature, film and music. In the process, students will learn how long-standing patterns regarding race, color, class and gender relations have evolved in(to) the socialist, and now the "post-socialist", context. Same as ANTH 4735. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Highlights structure, dynamics, and ecology of the interstellar medium, stressing the physical mechanisms that govern the thermal, ionization, and dynamic state of the gas and dust; observations at all wavelengths; star formation; and relation to external galaxies. Department enforced prereq., ASTR 5110. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Covers biosynthesis and function of macromolecules including DNA, RNA and proteins; molecular basis of replication, transcription and translation; biochemistry of subcellular systems; signaling and regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes; and special topics. Same as CHEM 4740. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Prepares students to conduct research on topics where data is not obvious or not easily available. Encompasses variations in context and setting as part of data observations. Methods include interviewing protocols, interpretive methods, cluster analyses, case study methodologies, and textual analyses. Same as PSCI 7116. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Offers a critical analysis of motor learning theories, including Adam's closed loop theory, Schmidt's schema theory, and the influence of contextual interference on learning and performance. Also covers feedback and practice organization. Projects and presentations required. Same as IPHY 4740. Requisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY or C-IPHY) or Psychology (PSYC) graduate students only.
