Recurring Decimals Infinite yet rational, recurring decimals are a different breed of numbers. Mathematicians, in turn, have been fascinated by these special numbers for over two thousand years. The Hindu-Arabic base 10 system we use today was inspired by the Chinese method of decimals which was actually around 10000 years old. Decimals may have been around for a very long time, but what about recurring decimals? In fact the ancient Greeks were one of the first to deal with recurring decimals
D. How is Bayes theorem important in avoiding fallacies commonly made in law and courtrooms? I. Base rate fallacy If presented with related generic, general information and specific information (information pertaining only to a certain case), the mind tends to ignore the former and focus on the latter. This can be avoided using Bayes’ Theorem, as it takes into account prior probability (which is the probability assessed before making reference to certain relevant observations, especially subjectively
Discussion Objectives: This experiment is monitoring the reaction of sodium hydroxide and crystal violet using spectroscopy. Graphical methods will be used to determine the kinetic rate law, rate constant and activation energy for the reaction. General Discussion: The order of hydroxide was determined by the varying the initial concentration of hydroxide in runs 1 and 2. We used the isolation method, which calls for having much higher concentrations of one reactant then the other, in this case
burette (±0.01 mL, Kimax) was rinsed thoroughly, twice with reverse osmosis water, and then twice with approximately 5 mL of ~0.25 M NaOH solution (Fisher Scientific, Certified ACS Pellets, S318-3). A 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask (Fischer) was obtained and 0.999 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP, C8H5KO4) (Acros Organics, 99+%, Code: 417955000, Lot: A0358893) was added. A precision balance
Physics Lab Report Statement of the Problem: The problem that was arisen in Problem #5: Motion up an Incline was in reference to a change in acceleration in both an uphill and downhill motion. The question on hand was whether or not the acceleration was the same going uphill as it was downhill or different from each other in both directions. To obtain a secure conclusion this experiment required the use of a frictionless cart, an inclined ramp, motion sensor, meter stick, and assistance of computer

One of the main sources of global sugar production and one third of the world sugar production is based on sugar beet. After the extraction of sucrose, about 50 kg sugar beet pulp (on a dry weight basis) per tonne sugar beet processed is left as a by-product [77]. SBP is composed mainly of cellulose (20–30%), pectin (26–40%), pentozan (24%), protein (5%), and lignin (10%) [78]. The major components of SBP is the pectic substances which are complex heteropoly saccharides containing galacturonic acid
Solubility studies for screening of microemulsion components The solubility of HCA in various oils and surfactants such as eucalyptus oil, clove oil, lemon grass oil, pippermint oil, carvone, D-limonene, citronella, menthone, eugenol, oleic acid, tween 20, isopropyl myristate (IPM), tween 80, polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) were measured. An excess amount of HCA was added to 10mL of oil and the mixture was shaken for 72 h at 25 °C. The resulting suspension was then centrifuged (R-8C REMI equipments
Grow Light Color in Relation with Radish Growth Introduction Background Information: The grow light industry is a relatively small one that many associate with illegal Cannabis production. While this may be one use of grow lights, the field of uses is much broader and includes horticulture, indoor gardening, plant propagation and food production. These lights are even used for indoor hydroponics and to grow aquatic plants. Generally HIDs and fluorescents are used in grow lights. The graphic to
Background and objectives: Many liver diseases are accompanied by jaundice. Differentiation of cholestatic from non-cholestatic jaundice is important. Cholestatic jaundice most probably occurs due to a pathological condition and the most frequent causes in early infancy are neonatal hepatitis and biliary atresia in early life. Early diagnosis and treatment of infantile cholestasis can improve prognosis of liver diseases by prevention of the complications of these disorders. Patients and Methods:
Pendulum Investigation Introduction In this investigation, I will try to attempt an experiment that will measure the time taken for a pendulum to oscillate for one complete swing; I will also explore and investigate the numerous variables that might effect the time taken to oscillate. Factors effecting periodic time =============================== The factors, which might affect the time taken for a pendulum to complete one swing, are: 1. The length of string 2. Weight
Ephedrine and Caffeine Combination What does adding stimulants to diet pills do? It is believed that adding caffeine to diet pills may increase weight loss (http://www.vitamins.com/encyclopedia/Concern/Weight_Loss.htm and http://www.mothernature.com/ency/Concern/Weight_Loss.asp). Many diet pills contain caffeine or guaranine, which is found in the herb guarana and is almost identical to caffeine. Caffeine acts as a stimulant of the central nervous system. The stimulant also increases
Butch’s fear morphed into anger as he waited for the beast to strike. The shark came at him again, and Butch decided it was time to put up a fight. He aimed the sharp, pointed nose of his surfboard at the shark as it approached. When it raised its head out of the water to bite, Butch jammed the nose of the board into the shark’s slotted gills. This blow sent the shark into another bout of nervous thrashing. Butch climbed atop his board and yelled, “Shark!” at the pack of surfers down the beach
