Project Area Groups

The course tutors at York recognized that the graduates from the course should not only be provided with up-to-date technical information and specific skills related to the subject area of green chemistry, but also that emphasis should be placed on the development of transferrable skills. This led to the incorporation of a dedicated module on these skills, also referred to as personal development planning , that complements the more academic side of the course. This module encompasses  

Proficiency in these areas is extremely valuable to the modem scientist, and in fact these skills are of relevance for any future career, in either chemical or 

This Master s course develops you as a well rounded individual in terms of transferrable skills. (Ray Hale, 2010-2011 MSc cohort).  

One aspect of this that has been particularly popular with the students has been the successful incorporation of public awareness of seienee and sustainability into the course in 2009. Direct communication with the public is indispensable as a means to influence and inspire the next generation of green chemists . Engaging a wider audience in discussion on topical issues and challenges that affect sustainable production and consumption can raise awareness of the role of green chemistry in improving the quality of our everyday lives  

Participating in this green chemistry outreaeh aetivity is a great opportunity for a scientist who loves chemistry and respeets the environment. [There is] an opportunity to communieate your enthusiasm and knowledge as well as to inspire people of different ages and interests. (Andri Constandinou, 2011-2012 MSc cohort).

Team work is fundamental and we have developed a system where all students work in teams (technology platforms and project area groups) especially in the laboratory where an interest in each other s projects is encouraged. 

The second is the group R /pu2, in which R is the force per unit projected area of particle in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion. For a sphere, the projected area is that of a circle of the same diameter as the sphere. 

The problem is most effectively solved by the generation of a new dimensionless group which is independent of the particle velocity. The resistance force per unit projected area of the particle under terminal falling conditions R 0 is given by ... 

This sentence should read something like Magnesium reveals a linear positive correlation in water groups I and III of the Grand Scheme project area. 

Fig. 2. A. Forebrain dopamine projection system in rodents and primates. The nigrostriatal pathway projects from the A8 and A9 groups of the substantia nigra (SN) via the medial forebrain bundle (mfb) to the neostriatum (NS). The mesocorticolimbic pathway projects from the more medially located A10 cell group of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and olfactory tubercle (OT) of the ventral striatum (VS) and limbic forebrain areas including prefrontal cortex (Ctx), septum (Se) and amygdala (A). B. Striatal projection areas in the rodent brain are divided into the more dorsal neostriatum, and ventral striatum. C. In the primate brain, including human and illustrated for the marmoset, the neostriatum is divided by the fibers of the internal capsule into caudate nucleus (CN) and putamen (Pu). Correspondingly, the neostriatum of rats is sometimes designated the caudate-putamen (CPu) complex.

The project team should consist of a core team of representatives from the key project areas. This team should include IT to provide expertise on the EDMS and IT infrastructure, user groups to ensure the system meets their needs, and QA and Validation to assure quality. The project team should meet regularly to review quality practices and set up regular communication sessions with the wider user base to keep them aware of all facets of the project so that critical decisions can be made in a timely manner. 

An irregular particle can be described by a number of sizes. There are three groups of definitions the equivalent sphere diameters, the equivalent circle diameters and the statistical diameters. In the first group are the diameters of a sphere which would have the same property as the particle itself (e.g. the same volume, the same settling velocity, etc.) in the second group are the diameters of a circle that would have the same property as the projected outline of the particles (e.g. projected area or perimeter). The third group of sizes are obtained when a linear dimension is measured (usually by microscopy) parallel to a fixed direction. 

The students are strongly supported during this period by the aeademic staff, and other senior and junior researehers in the group as well as other members of their projeet area group (PAG). They are also given the autonomy to direet their own research within the context that has been set and are encouraged to make decisions about exactly how they approach their work, which gives them a sense of ownership for their project ...
