OSPFLOR 84: Life in the Balance: Knowing how nutrient intake can match energy expenditure

Review of the anatomy and cellular structure of taste, food absorption and digestion, using the anatomical wax models of the "La Specola" Museum of Zoology and Natural History of the University of Florence. Conditions of anorexia nervosa and obesity as illustrations of imbalances in energy intake and output. Genetic contributions to regulating the physiologic and endocrine adaptations to food restriction or overconsumption. Religious fasting practices in Judaism, Christianity and Islam as examples of fine-tuning the energy equilibrium based on cultural traditions. Nutrient imbalances and links to increased rates of metabolic syndrome and cardiac disease. New research findings related to nutrigenetics and the composition of foods beneficial to health and suitable for modulating the balance between food intake and energy expenditure.

OSPFLOR 86: Stem Cells in Human Development and Regenerative Medicine

Principles and practice of regenerative medicine. Molecular and developmental biology relevant to the understanding of differentiation and development at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. Production of lines of multipotent and pluripotent stem cells, the conditions necessary to induce their differentiation into specific lineages and cell types, and their clinical applications. State of the art on the development of regenerative therapies for cartilage injury. Aspects of inherited or acquired diseases that could be potentially treated by stem cell therapies. Quality control and quality assurance necessary for the adequate delivery of stem cell based therapies within current legislative frameworks.

OSPSANTG 85: Marine Ecology of Chile and the South Pacific

Relationships among physical processes in the ocean, biological productivity, and the exploitation of resources by high-thropic-level predators including human beings. Characterization of ecological patterns; identification of processes operating on marine systems. Open ocean ecosystems, intertidal and benthic regions of the world's oceans, and ecological research developed along coastal regions, focusing on Chile's 4,000 km coastline.

PHYSICS 15: The Nature of the Universe

The structure, origin, and evolution of the major components of the Universe: planets, stars, and galaxies. Emphasis is on the formation of the Sun and planets, the evolution of stars, and the structure and content of the Milky Way galaxy. Topics: cosmic enigmas (dark matter, black holes, pulsars, x-ray sources), star birth and death, and the origins of and search for life in the solar system and beyond.
Terms: Aut, Sum | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci, WAY-SMA

PHYSICS 16: Cosmic Horizons

The origin and evolution of the universe and its contents: stars, galaxies, quasars. The overall structure of the cosmos and the physical laws that govern matter, space, and time. Topics include the evolution of the cosmos from the origin of the elements and the formation of stars and galaxies, exotic astronomical objects (black holes, quasars, supernovae, and gamma ray bursts), dark matter, inflationary cosmology, and the fate of the cosmos.
Terms: Win | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci, WAY-SMA

PHYSICS 17: Black Holes

Newton's and Einstein's theories of gravitation and their relationship to the predicted properties of black holes. Their formation and detection, and role in galaxies and high-energy jets. Hawking radiation and aspects of quantum gravity.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci, WAY-SMA

PHYSICS 18N: Frontiers in Theoretical Physics and Cosmology

Preference to freshmen. The course will begin with a description of the current standard models of gravitation, cosmology, and elementary particle physics. We will then focus on frontiers of current understanding including investigations of very early universe cosmology, string theory, and the physics of black holes.
