Exponentials

fixation is determined by the allele frequency, the selective advantage or disadvantage, and the effective population size. The probability of fixation for a particular allele is demonstrated by the equation where probability is equal to 1 minus the exponential of (-4Nesq) divided by (1-e-4Nes). In this equation, q represents the initial frequency of the allele and s is the selective advantage or disadvantage. Mathematically, the fixation probability of a neutral allele is equal to its…

limited to the Arctic and antarctic regions.. This will eventually create a competition among other species by which the organisms best adapted survive, driving other species to extinction. Since the human population is going through an rea of exponential growth, this will lead to more people and less space to live in, which will increase the being to being competition and lead to a global chaos. Holly’s purpose is to increase awareness of the various effects of climate change, and how it will…

science was advancing at rapid pace challenging the traditional institutions of society. Many began to question and challenge the methods of the old institutions, such as religion or the old sciences. This provoked anxiety among many, due to the exponential growth of the sciences. Such fear is seen within the scientist characters in the novel. The scientists in the novels are a reflection of Stoker and Shelly interpretation of the conflicting ideals. The conflicting ideological clash has set…

other America to portray his growth of the U.S and other America. Also the war on poverty where it shows how the U.S can gain from helping friends. The U.S government should’ve spent more time and effort on poverty due to poverty growing on an exponential rate. Johnson was the president that experienced poverty first fane so he took it upon himself to improve the way the U.S works “he had known hard times growing us and had seen poverty first hand in a brief career as a teacher in a low income…

economy from deteriorating. The Three E’s include the economy, energy, and environment and all three criteria should be thought of in the same sense with one fundamental force: Mathematics. The economic sector depends on four functioning areas which exponential growth, global credit collapse, aging population, and the national failure to save. The energy segment includes peak cheap oil and the…

Also, since exponential population growths rarely occur in nature, they occur most often in a laboratory setting due to a lack of competitors and other forces that normally decrease populations. However, after day 60 the population steadily decreases below the carrying…

Who Owns the Future Due to Artificial Intelligence (AI) having the ability to learn information at an exponential rate, it is very easy to believe that AI owns the future. There are two broad types of AI, soft and hard AI. Soft AI is not intended to mimic the human brain, soft AI could be used to make a difficult boss in a video game. Hard AI on the other hand is intended to mimic the human brain, and many experts in the field are scared of what will come from the evolution of hard AI (Baer).…

There is “exponential discounting” and “hyperbolic discounting”, exponential discounting is discounting a future period of time, such as 1 year by a percentage. “Hyperbolic discounting’’ deals more self control issues, such as procrastinating or addiction. There was a great example to illustrate…

thinking about how often to administer a dose, it helps to understand the concept half life. The half life of a drug being absorbed in the body is the time needed so that one has 50 percent of what was administered. Half life can be graphed as exponential decay. This is useful because when one knows what the rate of the half life is, one can calculate when the medicine needs to be taken. It is not so much that veterinarians would calculate based on the half life. It is more that veterinarians…

In order to find an accurate brittleness and stiffness for a rock, Rickman et al. (Rickman) has come up with a method that has been used frequently. In order to determine the brittleness index of a certain section of rock, Rickman advises the use of two rock parameters: Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus (Rickman). The ideal brittleness is a low Poisson’s ratio and a high Young’s modulus. A low Poisson’s ratio indicates the rocks capability to fracture when stress is applied and a high Young’s…
