Entropy

My journey starts in Rwanda, a small country in East Africa. It started after I excelled in the national examination, an exam for high school students pursuing college admission, and got rewarded a scholarship to study college in the US. The experience I gained throughout my scholarship period, research, and background inspired me to pursue graduate studies. This goal has been an important reason for both my education and life pathways. In Rwanda, my country of birth, there is a presidential…

In America, Realism is a literary movement or school of thought that avoided melodrama and emphasized verisimilitude. Subjects were taken from everyday life and authors placed a heavy emphasis on characters as real people influenced by environment and circumstances. Realism can be broadly defined as being faithful when representing reality or verisimilitude. It is a literary technique important to the school of thought. Realism encompasses the period in which Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Stephen…

gives the idea about the factors which controls the rate of a reaction. Practically in order for a reaction to occur, the reaction must be thermodynamically and kinetically favored. The Thermodynamic factors which control reactions are enthalpy, entropy and the temperature. The kinetic factors which controls the rate of reaction are, the concentration of reactants, the reaction mechanism, the energy barrier required to be overcome i.e. its activation energy, and temperature Rate of a reaction…

properties, including water insolubility.Water insolubility can postpone or totally halt new drug developmentand can prevent muchessential reformulation of currently marketed products. 2.3 THREE MAJOR FACTORS OF SOLUBILITY OF DRUG [16][17] • The entropy of mixing favours miscibility of all components. • The difference between the sum of the drug-drug (DD) and water-water (WW) interactions on the one hand and the drug-water interactions on the other hand. The difference is correlated to the…

Guhgalski, Guglinski, Giggleski, Googalski. Despite having a relatively easy Polish last name to pronounce (Gugulski), people always find ways to mispronounce it. I have heard my name butchered so many times, I have come to dread the first day of school. My Polish heritage has really shaped the way I have developed as a student, member of society, and person. Without it, I would not have achieved as much as I currently have. Polish was my first language, and I continue to speak it at home.…

Our lives are defined by experiences, with each one serving as a manifestation of our interests and circumstances. One cannot truly live without intellectual stimulation. Such stimulation can be derived from reading, listening, discussing and simply exercising one’s imagination. I’ve always believed that in order to truly discover yourself, you should fill your life with intellectual experiences. Looking back on these years, I feel that my most important intellectual experience was one which I…

Throughout the story different characters ask the computer the same questions, how the threat to human existence posed by the heat death of the universe can be averted. The question was "How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?" At the end the universe approaches the state of heat death, the God like descendant said let there be light and there was light. One example on how the story is science fiction is that the computer started…

Governments have existed as long as man has believed he benefited from the cooperation and protection it provided him and his fellow citizens. It comes as no surprise that discontent festers among the people when the government legislates or behaves in a way they oppose; logically, the increase in population and government involvement would create a greater variety of public opinion and a wider gap between the people and their governing body—hence, civil disobedience arises. Civil disobedience,…

According to (Carter, 2011), in order for a system to be distinct from their environment, the system creates boundaries. In a family system, boundaries determine who is a part of the family and who is not (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010). From the beginning we see Cruz does not trust her environment, she is not open to the new change, does not even like outside people coming to her apartment, and described herself as scared and lost. Within Cruz family system she only trusts her own judgment and…

Why is using the Slippery slope fallacy and having religion in a government a bad thing? It can create entropy within the society. If for example, “We cannot unlock our child from the closet because if we do, she will want to roam the house. If we let her roam the house, she will want to roam the neighborhood. If she roams the neighborhood, she will get…
