Electric potential

play. More specially the principle of energy. To make a catapult that could send a skittle through the air and into a bowl to reach its goal an energy had to be used, that energy was elastic energy. So what is elastic energy. Elastic energy is a potential mechanical energy…

Research Statement Past research accomplishments. Probing the dynamics of neuronal activities is crucial to understand the complex mechanisms of the brain and related diseases. Thus, there are great demands on optogenetic indicators for neuronal activities. However, engineering desired optogenetic indicators is a well-known challenge, probably due to the delicate sensing mechanisms, and the lack of effective high-throughput screen. To tackle this, I developed several novel molecular evolution…

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, there are more than 600 neurologic disorders 1. Neurodegeneration is one of the main contributors to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. Neurodegeneration is the debilitating condition along with those diseases, which results in the healthy, functioning nerve cells to deteriorate and slowly die off. Deterioration gradually leads to the loss of cognitive skills, motor skills, and eventually death of the nerve…

How are humans, or any sentient life for that matter, anything more than complex arrangements of meat, neurons, and bone? The biophysical explanation of human physiology explains, quite in depth, the entire genetic makeup and biochemical arrangements from the simplicity of a ball and socket joint to the complexity of the brain. Surely the vast amount of research regarding human physiology could spearhead further research into the complexities of perception and thought, correct? There is no way…

learning are and how our emotions affect our learning. Emotion is the on and off switch for learning. It’s important for us to understand this process and how we learn biologically. Understanding how we learn can be the key to reaching our full potential and being successful no matter what we do in life. The Natural Human Learning Process was founded by Rita Smilkstein. According to Smilkstein’s theory, we all go through six stages of learning. The first stage is motivation.…

pulling it in the opposite direction. As it reaches the highest point of swing, it has maximum gravitational potential energy because that is the highest point from the ground. When it reaches the lowest point of swing, the pendulum has the maximum kinetic energy because this is when it needs the most energy to push it in each direction. However, the pendulum has the minimum gravitation potential energy because it is closer to the…

Projectile Motion Worksheet A ball rolls off a desk at a speed of 3.0 m/s and lands 0.40 seconds later. How far from the base of the desk does the ball land? How high is the desk? What is the speed and angle of impact? A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away. At what speed was the stone launched? What is the speed and angle of impact? A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0 m/s across a level table that is 1.0 m…

OBJECTIVE: The pump is made of pendulum, two-leg lever and cylinder with the piston which pumps the water. Oscillation of the pendulum is maintained by periodical action of the human arm. Oscillation period of the pendulum is twice bigger than the period of the lever oscillation. Piston of the pump has reverse effect on the lever and damps its oscillation. Damping of the lever motion causes damping of the pendulum, but the work of the force damping the pendulum is less than the work of the…

The goals of this project are: To define the piecewise function formulas defining the coaster To create a replicated graph of the formulas To determine the maximum height of the coaster as well as the longest drop, in comparison to other great coasters in the world To determine how long the passengers will be in the air, how fast the coaster is going when hitting the “splashy zone”, and where the “splashy zone” should be built To determine the maximum height a passenger can reach during…

Is it worth it to use Carnoy’s solution as a complementary therapy of benign odontogenic tumors treatment? An in vivo study in Wistar rats Shot title: Carnoy’s solution effects in mandible of rats Summary In order to quantify osteonecrosis, blood clot and bone neoformation after Carnoy’s solution (CS) and saline application in mandibles of Wistar rats, a monocortical defect was created bilaterally on right/left buccal cortical of Wistar rat’s mandibles and received one application of 5…
