Entropy

Basic Biology The documents I attached include a lab report, worksheets, notes and one exam. My most memorable experiences in biology were in the lab. I got to test the effectiveness of lactase drops when exposed to solutions containing different pH or temperatures. My results indicated that the lactase enzyme had the optimal catalytic activity at temperatures similar to those found in the human stomach; however, the low pH in the stomach–ranging from 2 to 5– rendered the drops ineffective…

(U) In answering the question to what extent and how do failed and failing states facilitate terrorism, one would have to first assess if they if fact do promote terrorism. It is my perception that they do not, based on the many readings and briefings that I have done or attended. However, failing or failed states are contributing factors in some cases if the conditions are just right, but they are not the breeding ground that one might think. What failed and failing states do is create a…

Entropy in Marriage How can one live a life without having entropy in it? Entropy to me means having disorder in life, having chaos or having something that is not considered normal. By that I mean is one might have a dysfunctional family or marriage, but in public they seem to show that they are perfect. In the novella “The death of Ivan Ilych” by Leo Tolstoy discusses how Ivan Ilych is shown to have a great life, his father had money, he was a public prosecutor, he married a beautiful women…

long run, cause cataclysmic events- reference the Rwandan Genocide or the Holocausts. Rather, I see people, in the world, divided consciously into two types of perceptions: one of existentialism, entropy, and oblivion and legacy, remembrance, and perpetuity. The ultimate existential bummer is entropy and no matter who you are, everybody, at one time or another, has felt predisposed nostalgia- a yearning for a sentimental moment that has not yet ended. It’s because of the impermanence of the…

Entropy and black holes don’t seem to go together: Black holes were supposed to radiate no energy at all and you can't have entropy without radiation. But then Hawking used math and science to show that, if you use quantum mechanics, you could show that black holes were not really black, they actually emit radiation…

Attribute selection is the process of identifying and removing as much of the irrelevant and redundant information as possible from a dataset. If the data dimensions are reduced, we will be able to improve the performance of the applied classification algorithms. They will function faster, more efficiently and will be with an improved classification accuracy. As an addition we can also execute data visualization, and increase the insight of the potential classification model [] . There are many…

unconventional. The second big idea stated that the cultural patterns needed to study cultures could be found by rearranging the second law of thermodynamics, entropy is increasing while biology is decreasing, implementing negative entropy. White believed that humans had replaced the biological aspect of the law with culture thus making the law, entropy…

What does one think of, when they think of the word Trend? Do they think back to the time YOLO was a prevailing phrase? What about when bell bottom jeans were the hottest thing to wear, where as now high waisted jeans are the hottest thing. Those are examples of things that we equate to the modern definition of the word trend. Trend in of itself is a word that throughout history has shaped and currently plays a big role in shaping the current landscape of language. The word Trend has a history…

of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium concentration for the solubility product. The solubility of a compound changes with temperature, so Ksp changes too. Thermodynamics focuses on three large areas; which are enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. Enthalpy change or ΔH, for KNO3 dissolving…

centuries after he died.Boasting an IQ between 190 and 205, Rudolf Clausius was a German physicist and mathematician who formulated the second law of thermodynamics, which states that in any cyclic process, entropy will either increase or stay the same. Clausius also coined the term "entropy," which is a measure of the universe's disorder.James Maxwell would fit right in in Brooklyn. The Scottish mathematical physicist formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation and boasts an IQ…
