  1. Started by Confusion,

    On the photo attached we had to draw a mechanism for the creation written at the top of the page. My attempt is written beneath it although I'm fairly certain it is to correct. I'm comfortable with the reaction for acetal formation from ketones and aldehydes but wasn't sure how to approach this one. Any help would be very much appreciated!

  2. Hello, I am really struggling with some basic things related to regression tree. Mainly I do not understand how I am suppose to calculate square error and form the recursive partition. Here is the set-up: I have a dataset $\{((1,1),9),((1,2),-4),((1,3),2),((2,2),4),((2,3),2)\}$ and I need to find the regression tree corresponding tot the greedy recursive partitioning procedure with respect to square error. And then I would like to draw the recursive partition. I literally have no idea how to even start solving this and it does not seem too difficult as well. Could someone help me out and possibly put detailed solution or partial solution. Anything will be helpf…

  3. Just going through lattice structures, was finding it hard to identify the number of spheres in unit cell, the two which I struggled with were: I know that this lattice represents a compound such as ZnS The coordination number is 4:4 for both white and black spheres. The number of white spheres (face centred cubic lattice) in the unit cell is: (1/8 x 8) + (1/2 x 6) = 4 The black spheres (tetrahedral holes) I am having problems with, my guess is: 1 x 4 = 4 The reason I calculated it to be 4 is because only half the tetrahedral holes are filled, normally for a structure like Na​2​O there are 8 white spheres inside and they are all counted as entirely inside. So if t…

    I am currently in 7th grade(in the United States) and I am tackling Algebra 1, if you guys can just post some tips I should keep in my head while I am doing it so I don't go off track and teach myself the wrong way. I did that once and had to relearn a large portion of science when we got to it in school because I learned it wrong. In a note I am teaching it to myself, that's how I learned it wrong. Although I don't personally have much hope for common core math. Thanks!

  6. Had a question relating to Schematic diagrams, just going through a past paper and the following two question came up: What is peculiar about these structures? Why are these structures stable? For Question 2, after having gone through my notes I answered: Layer structures are intermediate between: A totally ionic crystal with regular arrangement of ions and strong electrostatic forces. A crystal in which small discrete molecules are held together by weak forces such as van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. Hence the reason for their stability. ​I am stuck on Question 1 that asks "What is peculiar about these structures?". The only answer that…

    So my teacher, as we made the multipole expansion of Vector Potential (A) decided to proof that the monopole term is zero doing something like this: ∫∇'⋅ (J.r'i) dV' = ∮ r'i J ndS' = 0 The first integral, "opening" the nabla: J⋅(∇r'i) + r'i(∇⋅J) this must be equals 0 J = current density vector n = unit vector My question: I didn't get why the last thing (the nabla opened thing) was zero... He couldn't explain quite well and got confused, then the next day he added one condition to that be zero: [*] J is defined only in a certain region of space and that's why it's zero. I didn't get at all... *Sorry for my bad english

  9. Hello, I am a level seven student, and I would like to ask a question for my science project, and i did an experiment about the change in our body temperature after eating spicy food(and we choose the second most spicy noodles in the world ). The result shows that it actually lowered the body temperature, so I'd like to know why this phenomenon happens. I've done some research and i know that its because of sweating, but which body part produces/control/command SWEATING and some other information. So, i would like to know: -Which body parts -Whats Homeostasis -Whats Thermoregulation -Chemicals affecting body temperature -Capsaicin affect out temperature by? ~BRAIN…

  10. Question: A sample of a compound of N and O reacts with excess H2 (g) to give 0.123g of NH3 and 0.325g of H2O. Determine the empirical formula of this compound. Been trying to solve it for a few days. My chem teacher wants the class (Grade 11 chem) to solve the questions on our own for prep for the unit test but no one else knows how to do this. I tried finding % composition to get to Empirical Formula but I got nowhere with it. I also tried doing mole ratios but I font have molecular mass of the unknown compound to find the mass of it. I think I need to get the balanced chemical equation but I don't know how to. Can anyone help me? Any hints? or where to star…

    Hello, my chemistry topic is all about Metallic substances and their properties. I read that Annealing (which is heating just below melting point and allowing it to cool slowly) causes the metallic grains to expand in size. Why is that? Like, does heating a metal decrease grain size or something? What does heating do the the metallic structure? We're not being told why it happens, we're told it just does. Please help.

    I am posting in this subforum * because I do not know if this is actually the accepted theory (or one of them) and if I am just a slow learner..... This is my question.: Does mass and energy curve spacetime because spacetime , firstly is just a mathematical model with lines along parallel to the 4 axes that meet at all the points {x,y,z,t} that are the set of all possible events? In the real world (not the model) there are areas of mass/energy where "events" cannot take place because the "spot is taken" . As a result ,for the model to be accurate we have to make a "detour" ** around these particular areas when we draw the lines parallel…

    Hey! So I've to write a 2000 word essay on the similarities and differences between Huntington's and Parkinson's regarding 'molecular pathology'. However, I've driving myself mad trying to understand this - given that there is so much information out there on these two disorders. I know I've to at least talk about the genes involved, CAG repeats, and Ubiquitin. Can anyone explain briefly to me where the difference and similarities actually lie between these disorders? Thanks

Compared to case 1 ... or will the time change?

  23. Hello, I have a problem where I have a 1 dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain program simulating an electromagnetic wave, classically using Maxwell's Equations and the Yee Algorithm. What I would like to do is define an "effective" photon wavelength at every grid point (I don't know if it even makes sense to do so). The way I am trying to do this is; 1.) I have the electric and magnetic field magnitudes at every grid point: Ex, Hy (the simulation is Transverse Magnetic). 2.) I calculate the energy density of the wave at each grid point: EnergyDensity = ((Ex^2)+(Hy^2))/2 3.) I multiply the energy density by my spatial unit step cubed to get the total energy …
