    The unique and foremost influence to psychology that Descartes had was his consideration of the mind-body interaction. Descartes lived as a French philosopher and mathematician who; in the early 17th century, agreed with the notion of a clockwork universe. According to the text, this notion of the times proposed that the universe could be likened to a clock due to the fact of its constancy, predictability, and exactitude. The clock could act as an allegory to expound upon the workings of the…

    1. C Why: according to Newton’s first law of motion, an object that is free from all outside forces travels at a constant velocity, covering equal distances in equal times along a straight-line path, C is true. 2. D Why: not matter an object is still or is in motion, the object has inertia all the time. Inertia is a nature/property of any objects. 3. D Why: the ship is moving at a constant speed, which is in a balanced status. For the athlete, it would be likely to do a long jump on ground.…

    cord. In the spinal cord the axon on will send signals to many neurons from other cells and then it will generate an order. The membrane potential is an electrical state of the cell membrane and it allows gradients that cause ions to move across the cell membrane. The dispersal of charge across the cell membrane is measured in (mV). The resting membrane potential is the difference between the charges inside and outside the sarcolemma. The intracellular concentration consists of sodium (Na+),…

    Neuroeconomics: the neuroscience of decision making Neuroscience is a scientific field that studies brain activity though changes in brain blood flow. Neuroscience is the discipline in charge of studying through the nervous system activation that occurs in areas of the brain. The body receives information by its interaction with the world and that information gets through our senses, that information is caught from the nervous system and passes through the spinal cord until it arrives to the…

    Model descriptions SWAN model The SWAN model [12,18] is based on the spectral action balance equation rather than the spectral energy balance equation. The evolution of the action density N is governed by Komen et al. [13]: ∂N/∂t+∇_x ⃗ ∙[((c_g ) ⃗+U ⃗ )N]+(∂c_θ N)/∂θ+(∂c_σ N)/∂σ=S_tot/σ where, N(σ.θ) is the action density spectrum, x is space, t is time,θ is wave direction, σ is relative frequency, S_tot is the source term total, and c_g represents the propagation velocity. The first term in the…

    As I was making my Ecomap I came to realize that my priorities are not completely met and that I might need to change my routine in order to feel satisfied with the goals I want to accomplish in life. As I look at my elements I see that I am focusing my energy mainly in school, which is acceptable since this will help me fulfill my goals of having a successful career one day. School is a positive energy and it brings me satisfaction when I finish a term with a good grade, but at the same time it…

    therefore transforming wind energy into mechanical. Mechanical energy was present because a fan is a machine that helped to generate the wind, when the wind was blown through the propellers, the gadgets inside transform the mechanical energy into electric. Electrical energy was also present because the contraption transformed the energy from kinetic to electrical. Kinetic energy is moving energy, the contraption was moving throughout this process, therefore it uses kinetic energy constantly.…

    1. The resting membrane potential is the potential difference across the cell membrane of excitable cells such as nerve and muscle cells. The 3 major factors that establish a resting membrane potential are as follows: (1) Non-diffusible anions: The resting membrane potential is influenced by the presence of large non-diffusible anions (proteins, nucleic acids and organic phosphates) inside a cell. The presence of large non-diffusible anions inside a cell attracts a large number of cations and…
