Freshwater Ecosystems
Freshwater Ecosystems initially considers the interplay between the physics, chemistry and biology of freshwater ecosystems. A comparative approach is adopted, in which upland streams, lowland rivers, lakes and other standing freshwater environments are considered. Emphasis is placed on the relationships between physics, chemistry and biology, and the differences in these relationships in contrasting freshwater environments. Theoretical aspects are supported by case study seminars. The module finishes by examining the interactions of humans with freshwater ecosystems, with emphasis on impacts and management. -

From Alexander to Augustus: Leadership in the Ancient World
Alexander, Sulla, Julius Caesar and Augustus are names which epitomise leadership and authority both in the ancient world and in more recent periods of history. In this module, you will look at the political systems under which they emerged as leaders, and how they transformed the worlds they lived in. Through these we will address the questions of what makes a successful leader, and how political systems might be manipulated. -

From Alexander to Augustus: Leadership in the Ancient World
Alexander, Sulla, Julius Caesar, and Augustus are names which epitomise leadership and authority both in the ancient world and in more recent periods of history. In this module, you will learn about the political systems under which men (and, much more rarely, women) like these emerged as leaders and about how they transformed the worlds in which they lived. We shall scrutinise how leaders both good and bad managed to manipulate ancient political systems to their own advantage; we shall come to understand the qualities and attributes Hellenistic and Roman leaders needed to be successful; and we shall compare models of leadership in the ancient world with the ideals we prize in our leaders today. -

From Biological Molecules to Biomedical Data
This module is designed for Biomedical Engineering students on the Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health pathways.
In this module, you will learn about the different types of macromolecules found in cells, with a particular emphasis on DNA and proteins. The module will study the role of nucleic acids and genetic information in defining protein structure, how protein structure influences function, and the principles by which DNA and protein can be manipulated by molecular biology.
This module will also introduce the methods used to collect, present, and analyse data in the life sciences and to estimate models from data, with focused application to introductory level statistical genetics. These topics will provide a grounding in the principles underlying modern biological data science. -

From Biological Molecules to Electromagnetism
This module is designed for Biomedical Engineering students on the Electronics and Mechatronics for Health pathways.
In this module, you will learn about the different types of macromolecules found in cells, with a particular emphasis on DNA and proteins. The module will study the role of nucleic acids and genetic information in defining protein structure, how protein structure influences function, and the principles by which DNA and protein can be manipulated by molecular biology.
This module will also introduce the physical concepts of fields and waves plus the behaviour of materials in electric and magnetic fields, to provide a solid foundation in the physics underpinning biomedical technology. -

From Constantine to Theodosius: Christians, Pagans and Emperors
The 4th century CE was a time of upheaval and change. Christianity became established as the state religion of the Roman empire, the split between the eastern and western empire was cemented, and the first large group of Goths crossed the Roman border. In this century the image of the emperor moved from that of an earthly ruler to an almost mystical being, the representative of God on earth.
In this module, we focus particularly on relations between Christians and pagans, and on the changing role of the emperor in a new Christian context. We investigate how the status of the city of Rome as the centre of the Roman world was challenged by new capitals and new centres of government. We discuss the role of the army and the church in propping up, exercising, or resisting power. We look at some of the main players: Constantine the Great, Arius, Julian the Apostate, Ambrose of Milan, Symmachus, Theodosius I. -

From Data to Dynamical Model: System Identification
The main problem in system identification is deriving mathematical models of dynamical systems (for transfer function, state-space) from data. Such problem arises for example in control, when the complexity of a model or lack of physical insight prevent the development of a model from first principles to be used in designing a controller.
The algorithms to solve the system identification problem rely, for the linear case, on mathematical methodologies formalised with (relatively) simple linear algebra.
The objective of this course is to give a broad but non superficial introduction to some of the main themes in system identification of discrete-time systems: the use of Hankel matrices and of regression and algebraic structures based on time shifts to derive transfer-function and state-space models.
