The primary reason for the search is basic curiosity - the same curiosity about the natural world that drives all pure science. We want to know whether we are alone in the Universe. We want to know whether life evolves naturally if given the right conditions, or whether there is something very special about the Earth to have fostered the variety of life forms that we see around us on the planet. Source : http://www.ieltsg.co...g practice test .................................................... Would you kindly explain "life evolves naturally if given the right conditions, or whether there is something very special about the Earth to have fostered the variety…

Following the indications of Levi-strauss ,Lacan turns to linguistics to provide psychoanalytic theory with a conceptual rigour that it previously lacked.the reason for this lack of conceptual rigor was simply due, Lacan argues, to the fact that structural linguistic appeared too late for Freud to make use of it;"Geneva 1910" and "Petrograd 1920" suffice to explain why Freud lacked this particular tool' . 1. What does ' conceptual rigor ' mean? would you please give me a simple example? 2.Would you please tell me readily why "appeared too late for Freud to make use of it"?- or why it was too late for Freud? 3. In addition, what does "suffice to explain "mea…

Hello, I have some problems with the following pedigree: AR disease with population frequency of 1/62500. What is the prob. that IV-1 will be affected? Especially how to use the Hardy Weinberg Law in that case is my problem. According to my professor the solution should be 1/3 x 1/4 x 1/125. My problem is how to get the 1/125. According to my calculations it's 1/250. Thank you in advance for your help Inuvi

Have been working on these for days now, and keep coming to the same answers. The problem: A block of mass m rests on a plane inclined at an angle θ with the horizontal. A spring with force constant k is attached to the block. The coefficient of static friction between the block and plane is μs. The spring is pulled upward along the plane very slowly. (a) What is the extension of the spring the instant the block begins to move. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.) d=(-mgμscos(θ)-mgsin(θ))/k (b) The block stops moving just as the extension of the contracting spring reaches zero. Express μk (the coefficient of…

1. Sandy, a 16-year-old woman, returns to the emergency room for the fifth time. She has been treated for Bulimia repeatedly. On initial assessment, you note shallow breathing. ARTERIAL BLOOD GASES are as follows: pH = 7.45 PaCO2 =47 mmHg HCO3- = 33 mEq/Liter My answer is Complete Compensated Respiratory Acidosis but I'm a little iffy about it because bulimia can be prolonged vomiting which can cause metabolic alkalosis, while the shallow breathing can cause respiratory acidosis. 2. Mitch, age 36 is admitted to the ER for an acute onset of an asthma attack. The asthma attach has lasted at least one hour before blood gases are drawn. ARTERIAL BLOOD GASES are as follows: p…

Consider a single-level cache with an access time of 3 ns, a line size of 32 bytes, and a hit ratio of H = 0.95. Main memory uses a block transfer capability that has a first word (2 bytes) access time of 40 ns and an access time of 5 ns for each word thereafter. (a) What is the access time when there is a cache miss? Assume that the cache waits until the line has been fetched from main memory and then re-executes for a hit. (b) Suppose that increasing the line size to 64 bytes increases the H to 0.97. Does this reduce the average latency?

Here's my attempt at the answer to the following question: Question: Use induction to prove that 3^n > n x 2^n for every natural number n ≥ 3 Answer: Step 1: 3^3 > 3 x 2^3 ⇒ 27 > 24 Step 2: Assume 3^k > k x 2^k Step 3: 3^(k+1) > (k+1) x 2^(k+1) ⇒ 3 x 3^k > k x 2^(k+1) + 2^(k+1) ⇒ 3^k + 3^k + 3^k > k x 2^k + k x 2^k + 2^k + 2^k. So am I allowed to use the assumption as a given to make the green and red parts of the inequality true? And am allowed to just plug in the base k value that would show the black parts of the inequality to be true? Another thing that I don't understand about induction is why we have to ass…

It is said that, " A kilogram of antimatter, annihilating with ordinary matter, can produce ten billion times the amount of energy released when a kilogram of TNT explodes." I'm attempting to figure out how much antimatter it would take to propel a ~800 kg object through space at 11 miles per second, for 20 light years. I've a very limited knowledge of E=mc2 and would appreciate a simplified explanation as to how I would even go about answering this problem and which formulas I would need. Thanks very much for any help

My teacher gave us an equation: nhcoohdeltaHhcooh+oh + nh30deltaHh30+oh = -(CcaldeltaTcal + cwaterVaciddeltaTacid + cwaterVbasedeltaTbase) & told us to find enthalpy of neutralization fo formic acid. given: hcooh + oh----h2o + hcoo h30+oh----2 h2o hcooh: t1=21.4, t2= 27.5, delta T=6.1 (* this was also the delta Tcal) naoh: 20.4, t2= 27.5 , delta T= 7.1 This is the information I calculated: 1. initial moles - nh30= 0.0632 (0.075mol - 0.011748mol) (which my teacher said to use the equation above with. We had to interpolate deltaHhcooh+oh ( which = -58517) However, I plugged in the values and got -57474.58. Please help. (* how to do the proper p…

Hey all, just had some difficulty understanding these statements. Was wondering if I could get some help. Thanks. True or False? 1) Enzymes exhibit high stereospecificity, even on prochiral substrates, for example,distinguishing between different hydrogens on the same carbon of NAD(P)H. 2) Enzymes can enhance the spontaneity of a reaction, i.e. convert a process ( A-->B )that is endergonic so that it is exergonic. 3) By optimizing the proximity and orientation of substrates and key catalytic residues in the active site, an enzyme can couple two half reactions, one highly exergonic, the other somewhat endergonic, to yield an overall thermodyna…
