- 26071: Mathematics and Careers
- Mathematics and Careers Many jobs in today's labor market require a mathematics or science background. A number of these are among the fastest growing occupations nationally, and they are not jobs ordinarily thought of as "technical.” Jobs that once required little background ... geometry, measurement, probability and statistics. One particular field that requires the knowledge of math is in statistics. Math is used to be a statistician. Statistics is one of the few fields for which the U.S. Department of Labor predicts a faster rate of growth in jobs than for computer science. An increasingly important aspect of modern statistics is the design of experiments and surveys -- as well as analyzing the resulting data -- in areas of application ranging from archeology to zoology. Statisticians use surveys. For example, opinion polls and the Government's Health Interview Survey was used to predict the patterns of behavior of large groups based on small samples. They ask questions such as: How can we be sure that what we predict from our ...
- 26072: The Picture Of Dorian Gray

Books are well written, or badly written. That's all."

- 26075: Nuclear Weapons Are A Threat to All
- ... plutonium and then by a non nuclear explosive. When the explosive is set off it causes the uranium or plutonium to fission, which in turn causes the hydrogen to fuse. HISTORY In 1939, the U.S. government became concerned that the Nazi Germans may be capable of building a nuclear weapon, so upon joining World War II, the United Sates began a secret operation called the Manhattan Project to build their own nuclear weapon. The first experimental nuclear weapon was exploded on July 16,1945, by J. Robert Oppenheimer. It was a 22 kiloton implosion-type device. This test convinced the U.S. government that nuclear weapons could be used in war. On August 6, 1945, the United States used the first nuclear weapon on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It was a 13 kiloton gun-type fission ... fires after a nuclear war would cause a worldwide cooling of the planet, which is known as a nuclear winter. For this reason, the nations at war would not be the only ones to suffer. s
- 26076: Transition From Adolescence To Young Adulthood
- ... The first step that I want to complete during my twenties is to attend college and graduate from a major university. A common transition for many when becoming an adult is the completion of one’s education (296). For many students, attending college immediately after high school permits them to grow and develop intellectually and personally. I feel that attending college plays a very important role in gaining experience for the ... one, and still allow others the right to hold contrary views. I feel this is a critical idea to be learned during the whole college experience concerning the thought process and the expansion of one’s mental development. Another important event that occurs around young adulthood is the possibility of marriage. I would like to be married around the age of 25 and the fullfillment of having a spouse and family is something I have always dreamed about. In 1986 Sternberg found “that love has three basic components: Passion, an intense physiological desire for someone; Intimacy, the feeling that one can share all one’s thoughts and actions with another; and Commitment, the willingness to stay with a person through the good and bad times” (339). All these elements found by Sternberg serve as a basis for romantic relationships ...

CD:ROMs hold up to ... machine will cost you well over five thousand dollars.This is not including the CD:ROMs which are very hard to find. The CD:ROMs cost around twenty seven dollars for four hundrend megabytes.That's why only rich people and some bisnesses those machines. CD:ROM drives have many parts that do many things. The fist part is the tray. The tray is the thing that that you put the ... written on it. The information is written on the CD:ROM in concentric circles. If you looked at it with a microscope you little funny looking grooves in it. The grooves are the CD:ROM's own language. Whenever the laser is shot on to the disk it sends a small amount of voltage. The voltage is in the infra-red light that carries the information back to the laser ...
- 26078: Electrochemistry
- ... Some synthetic processes can only be done using electrochemical methods, and electrochemical methods are used in the large-to-medium-scale synthesis of organic "fine chemicals" because of the financial, safety and environmental advantages. Here's a page outlining some current research by one of my graduate school professors. I can think of at least three common uses of electrochemistry: pH meters and other measuring devices pH meters are electrochemical devices ... an organic coating onto a metal surface. This has been used to paint new cars as they are manufactured; the advantage of the process is that it can be done in water, and you don't need volatile organic solvents the way you do when you spray-paint a car.
- 26079: Methods of Solving Systems Of Equations
- ... to do it. This hold true with solving systems of equations. To solve the systems, there are five main methods to use. These methods include solving by graphing, substitution, linear combination, inverse matrices, and Cramer’s Rule. Solving by graphing is one of the simplest ways to solve an equation. In order to solve this way, the equations in the system need to be in slope intercept form. After the equations ... y, etc) are lined up in columns. In order for this method to work, one of the x or y coefficients has to cancel itself when the equations are added together. Find a variable that’s coefficients can be easily multiplied by something in order to get the same number. One of the numbers should be negative in order to cancel both of them out. Once you find numbers to multiply ... matter much. However, with all equations, if there are fractions in the original equation, it becomes harder to solve. The last and probably most difficult way of solving systems of equations is by using Cramer’s rule. In order to understand where and what to plug into the formula, think of the system as ax+by=c and dx+ey=f. To solve for both x and y, a fraction ...
- 26080: Exams Are Unfair Assessments of Progress
- Exams Are Unfair Assessments of Progress Most educators believe that exams are the best way to judge a student's ability. They believe that students' ability can be judged depending on the marks or grades that students get in the exams.
