It was a development requiring a total of eleven dimensions. In this program, we explore how this new dimension is different from all the others, as it implies that strings can come in higher dimensional shapes called membranes, or ""branes"" for short.

As Greene explains, scientists are able, for the first time, to combine the laws of the large and the small into a harmonious theory of everything. But even with its success, as of the 1990s, physicists realized that the ""strings"" theory suffered from a pernicious flaw - there were five different versions.

The Germans, with their vast war machine, are still occupying most of Western Europe and the Allies have not agreed on a timetable to dislodge them. American troops are now ashore in North Africa ready to test themselves for the first time against the German and Italian armies.

From 100 to 300 CE, as the movement grew throughout the Roman Empire, it faced heated debates regarding beliefs, worship, and even about Jesus himself. Externally, Christians were often persecuted as the movement became suspicious in the eyes of the Roman authorities. But through it all, Christians prevailed. And what started as a small sect of Judaism became a significant part of the population - eventually, a part of the official religion of Rome. This was a momentous change for Christianity and at the dawn of the fourth century, the cross was transformed into a symbol of triumph. It was then that Jesus of Nazareth became worshiped as the divine; when he became, Jesus Christ.","stream","['Jesus Christ']","[]","['Religion and sociology', 'Christianity', 'Religious institutions', 'Institutionalism (Religion)']","['Educational films']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_zbh9nlbm/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=44270"

Drawing upon historical evidence and archeological finds as well as engaging interviews, we learn that the early Christians branched out spreading their message to non-Jews, while the Apostle Paul, in approximately 50 CE, travelled away from the traditional centers of the Jesus Movement to found new churches in Greco-Roman cities. In fact, Paul's letters to these fledgling congregations mark the first writings of the New Testament. Meanwhile, spiraling tensions between Jews and Rome would culminate in a catastrophic Jewish revolt against Rome, propelling the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple - the center of Jewish spiritual life.

Nazareth, where he grew up, was about four miles from the cosmopolitan urban center of Sepphoris, one of the Roman provincial cities. And while Rome defined one dimension of Jesus' world, the other was symbolized by the great Temple in Jerusalem.

She had no formal education but was well-read and came to admire Fanny Burney, Samuel Johnson, and Henry Fielding. Austen spent much time in Bath with her sister Cassandra and family, and the social manners and conventions of her time became the substance of her satiric and ironic writing.","stream","['Austen, Jane']","[]","['British literature']","['Educational films', 'Video recording']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_56f9sxbl/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=43959"

This program explores recent research in the development of biochemical weapons to fight brain and skin cancer. Visiting a German pharmaceutical company at the forefront of these advances, the film shows how TGF (transforming growth factor) beta proteins create a protective layer around brain tumors and how antisense agents are deployed to break through these malignant defenses. Microscopic time-lapse views illustrate the process. The use of humane animal cloning to produce bispecific antibodies for fighting skin cancer is also illustrated in detail. Numerous expert interviews are included.","stream","[]","[]","['Cancer', 'Medicine', 'Cell metabolism']","['Educational films', 'Video recording']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_r4c8h2vi/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=43857"

Will Genetic Doping Replace Steroids?","[2011], c2010","52 min","[]","In the not-so-distant future, athletes and other physically active people won't use needles, pills, or stick-ons for extra strength and endurance-those traits will be cultivated genetically. But one person's athletic utopia is another's sci-fi nightmare, and the World Anti-Doping Agency is already raising the alarm. This program examines the controversy in the wider context of biomedical advances as well as in the arena of sports. Featured case studies include gene therapy experiments with mice conducted by famed researcher Dr. Nadia Rosenthal and several other genetically relevant medical examples.

This film follows the work of genetic researchers as they press forward, slowly but surely, in the task of interpreting and understanding life's greatest enigma. Highlighting the surprising finding that the human genome contains only about 32,000 genes (pre-map predictions were in the hundreds of thousands), the program describes a growing interest among geneticists on proteins and their role in cellular processes. The overlap between genetics and cancer research, particularly the battle against breast cancer, is also a major topic, as is the use of Iceland's unique gene pool as a scientific resource. Eye-catching animation helps illustrate the complexities of DNA construction and replication.","stream","[]","[]","['Cancer', 'Human reproduction', 'Heredity, Human', 'Genetics', 'Medicine']","['Educational films', 'Video recording']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_ej0es0nx/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=43855"

Of course, healthy sleep is only one of many vital ingredients the brain needs to develop and thrive, as this film illustrates in detail. Other factors discussed in the program include ongoing contact with negative (deterring) and positive (dopamine-triggering) stimuli, an environment that offers pattern repetition as well as deviation from repeating patterns as the brain emerges from infancy, and a sustained closeness between parent and child. Learning challenges such as dyslexia are also investigated, shedding further light on how our neural hub gains new skills, knowledge, and awareness.","stream","[]","[]","['Psychobiology', 'Learning, Psychology of', 'Brain', 'Memory', 'Child development', 'Adolescence', 'Neuropsychology']","['Educational films', 'Video recording']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_3pz63pi0/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=43854"

Refusing to comply with two U.S. marshals, he is eventually shot to death. The cause of his outburst - bipolar disorder, not terrorism - comes to light soon after, proffering another tragic example of how volatile and misunderstood the disease is. This program examines the lives of people who have struggled for decades with bipolar disorder, once known as manic depression. Through case studies and discussions of recent research, the film shows how each patient has overcome the grip of debilitating despair and hyperactive euphoria, and how advances in psychology and neuroscience are helping such individuals lead better, more productive lives.","stream","[]","[]","['Affective disorders', 'Suicidal behavior', 'Mental health', 'Self-care, Health', 'Personality', 'Suicide', 'Medicine']","['Educational films', 'Video recording']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_kc3k88xm/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=43853"
