    How would I find the height of a point in a projectile? Not the maximum height but rather any point on the projectile. I am given the range and I already have the max height, the time at the max. height and of course the acceleration

    Hello guys, I was working with this complex numbers and got stuck in this confusion. [Pic attached] The confusion is that by solving with two different approaches, the value of [theta] obtained is different. In the first approach, I obtained argument [theta] = 0. Afterwards, using polar conversion, the argument obtained was [theta] = [pi] for the same problem. Is it possible because else for every complex equation; be it z^4-1, z^6-1, etc...I am getting [theta] = 0. Am I doing something terribly wrong? Is the complex to polar conversion and vice versa correctly done? Thanks for the help in advance

  4. Hi everyone. So, I've got some homework that looks like this: And I'm searching through my book and cannot find the differentiation between address lines and blocks. But, regardless, I have two attempts at solving part A): Attempt 1: the cache is 32kB in size, and has a block size of 64B. So 32kB/64B = 512 Blocks Attempt 2: I found a PDF online that says that if there are 32 address lines, that corresponds to 2^32 words of memory. If the block size/length is 64B and word size is 32bits, then each block holds 16 words. So 2^32 words/16 words per block = 268435456 blocks. PDF http://umcs.maine.edu/~cmeadow/courses/cos335/COA04.pdf Those are my thought p…

  5. While doing my homework, I came across a problem asking me to graph a hyperbola with no horizontal or vertical asymptotes, and an oblique asymptote at y= x + 2. Another problem is asking for the graph of a hyperbola with no asymptotes! I am certain this lack of asymptotes is not due to a calculation error on my part, as this is merely a graphing exercise and the worksheet lists the number and variety of asymptote. Any help would be incredibly appreciated as I have no idea how to complete either of the problems (they're listed below for reference). r(x)= x^2 + x - 6 (no horizontal, vertical, or oblique asymptotes) x - 2 r(x)= x^2 - x - 6 …

  7. Started by dex.z,

    This is my first post. so apologies for breaking any posting rules. My question regards a pre hybridization procedure in which the denatured DNA is transferred onto a nylon membrane. To do this the nylon membrane is baked which allows the DNA to covalently bind to the membrane, through a dehydration reaction. Or so I was told by my university tutor. However, I'm not sure of the chemistry behind this reaction. If anyone could explain or reference a source that can explains the chemistry concisely I would appreciate it. Thanks.

  8. I realise that liver glycogen phosphorylase is allosterically regulated by glucose, and is generally in the phosphorylated active form when glucose levels are low, but the textbooks (both Stryer and Voet and Voet) are ambiguous at to whether the liver isozyme is covalently modified by the signalling cascade triggerred by glucagon, or whether this only applies to the muscle isozyme. It is implied that the phosphorylated 'a' form is the "default" state of the enzyme, which will break down glycogen unless signalled otherwise; is this telling me that the enzyme will be active regardless of whether glucagon is present, or will some glucagon be necessary to maintain the enzyme …

I want to use Baumwelch alg. for training and the viterbi- alg. for determining the most like- full sequence. My problem is the following (lets say the system is for gesture recognition and we have 2 gestures A,B): By training I get for every sequence the parameter of the HMM for classification. Lets assume I have 30 samples for every gesture. By the Baumwelch alg. I get now 60 HMM (for every sample one). And here stops my understanding. Do I have to "sum up" these 60 HMM to 2 one HMMA,HMMB?

    I was just wondering the principle of a hydrometer. i know its based on Archimedes principle/ the law of flotation but i can't seem to understand how this explains the fact that for a denser liquid, the object is buoyed up more and in a less dense liquid it would sink more. i hope someone can help me clarify this. Thanks.

Although potty trained, she was occasionally incontinent of feces. She had no fever, nausea or vomiting. She was an only child who attended group day care and her mother had diarrhea for 3 days about 1 month previously. The family drank filtered water. Her physical examination was unremarkable. Upon stool examination, a typical unicellular protozoan parasite was seen under direct fluorescent microscopy. 1) what kind of parasites can cause such diarrhea? 2) Are there virulence factors of this pathogen? 3) This organism is…

  19. This is not homework but i would like a question answered... In a building technology class a discussion about doors started. It started out with a particular style of door but later progressed to a style of architecture and art. The rest of my class complained that i was straying from the topic, that the topic is doors and the only thing relevant was an actual door. I believe that architecture, history and art are connected and can not be separated. Am I right or wrong? How important is history to architecture?

  21. I'm looking for some suggestions about enzymatic cascades to do a research work. I'm interested in embryogenesis, organogenesis and I would be grateful if you could suggest me some signal transduction cascade with components like Mitogen-activated protein kinases for example (I like them!). Any pathway that you think its physiological function is interesting would be perfect for me, even if it doesn't have connection with the topics I mentioned before. Thank you very much, Victor

    Just a simple question. When Balancing redox reactions and there are charges on both sides, do they add directly? I have.. Mno4- + Cl- -> Mn2+ + Cl2 Balanced Mn to have 9e- when adding charges directly on both sides of the equation but I don't think that it makes sense. I have an example in my notes where two -'s on either side of an equation balances to create a 2e-. Thank you ? tbz709
