Robert J. Kurland, Ph.D. describes himself as a retired, cranky, old physicist. whole converted to Catholicism in 1995. He now writes and teaches to show that there is no contradiction between what science tells us about the world and our Catholic faith. He is a volunteer to a federal ...
Together, these texts repeatedly signal the limits of human endeavor, entropy, contingency, and death. Although these literary allusions are relevant to the novel's themes, they have little bearing on the survivors in the vegetal world of the future when such reminders of hubris and mortality ...

Speaking of data, here are some. Duty factor (DF; fraction of stride cycle that a given foot is in contact with the ground; i.e., 1 means the feet never ever leave the ground; 0 means that the animal never touches the ground and thus is truly flying) on the x-axis, and stride ...
trying to keep the entropy at bay in my household, standing in line at stores, trying to stay current on the medical and lay news, and trying to stay connected with colleagues, friends, and family members. I feel like I’ve never been more exhausted, but I know so many people are so...
Which effect on atomic size is more significant, an increase in nuclear charge across a period or an increase in occupied energy levels within a group? Explain. At 300 K, what is the maximum enthalpy that a substance with an entropy of ...
and there is a saturation point beyond which pushing oneself to work even longer will actuallyreducethe total amount of work you get done in the long run (due to the additional fatigue, loss of motivation, or increasingly urgent need to attend to non-work tasks that this can cause). Genera...
There is, however, no evidence that these potential pathogens are the principal cause of the disease syndrome and resultant fish mortality - they may be secondary invaders of fish whose health has already been compromised. The possi- bility is considered that biological toxins from macroalgae such ...
fact, most of the algorithms used to construct methylation clocks tend to exclude type (3) changes. I won’t say anything more about stochastic changes in methylation, but I’ll acknowledge that there is more to be said and refer you tothis articleif you’re interested inmethylation entropy...
Protein aggregation is primarily entropy driven. Superficially it might seem that the process is entropically disfavored as aggregates should have lower entropy than free monomers/oligomers; however, this decrease is compensated more than enough by the entropy increase due to water molecules being extr...
