“DO SUPER-EARTHS HAVE GEOLOGY SUITED TO LIFE?”

Será que os planetas desconhecidos têm placas tectónicas activas?

A descoberta nos últimos anos de uma enormidade de planetas rochosos orbitando estrelas fora do Sistema Solar fez com que os cientistas se questionassem, se aqueles planetas serão habitáveis.

But these are the obvious victims as the U.S. moves from a goods-producing economy to a services-producing economy.

 

More interesting are the jobs that are likely to experience slower than average growth (average being about 13%). This is where the surprises are.

E-POST

O e-learning mais que uma moda é uma das formas autónomas de interactividade e construção de conhecimento que veio para ficar(link).

Sobre as possibilidades de um terrível autismo do conhecimento que a sua incorrecta utilização e manuseamento pode ter em consequência, é um risco a ponderar e, por isso, nada melhor que um guia passo a passo e, ainda, um Portfolio Showcase criativo com resultados muito interessantes para os utilizadores como os que se podem observar a seguir:
