  1. ROFLMAO. I looked at the poll and did a double take.
  2. What if you prevent them from running onto the highway in the first place? I'm thinking a security fence alongside or something. Or maybe we just trust that people won't run across highways. Sort of how we deal with railroad tracks, and, well, highways. For construction zones, perhaps an automated detour?
  3. Damn. And it sounded like such a fun problem.
  4. And be specific about how this cap bank will be applied, as it really helps the design. Like if they are all in parallel, you can just use a regulated supply with a resistor on the output. If it is for a marx generator, or voltage doubler, you will have to use something else.
  5. If you drove the cars fast enough, you could get away with using one lane everywhere. Basically substituting speed for "bandwidth".
  6. You can only get away with not putting a number, when there is only one place the group could go. Ex: methylpropane. 1 and 3 methylpropanes don't make sense, as they would be n-butane. Therefore, the only methylpropane is 2-methylpropane.
  7. Density becomes a function in terms of pressure. Pressure is a function in terms of force from overlying mass and radius. Radius is a function of total mass and density. Force from overlying mass is a function of underlying mass, radius, and overlying mass. I ended up running in circles, since they are all functions of each other. I think I need an assumption, which will simplify one of the variables. I'm not sure what exactly I can assume though.
  8. Since schisto and malaria are both parasitic diseases, I'd have guessed that they would've shown up in the one of the biopsies, when the parasites would have been visible with a microscope.
  9. I think his original premise was that everything came from the big bang. Therefore, the current state of the universe is entirely described by the position and momentum (I think, correct me if I am wrong) of every particle present in the big bang. IMO this doesn't take into account random events that are quantum in nature. So the original premise is still false.
  10. Also, post back your answer when you get it, and we'll check it for you. D H: Any ideas on how to take compressibility into account, or is that just a mathematical dead end?
  11. *Note: I need to take this down fairly quickly, since I'm not technically allowed to post it here.
  12. It's not really a census. More of a "Hey, they aren't killing us anymore" type of deal. When the immune system can't keep the pathogens at bay, due to stress/weakening, the pathogens push the immune system back so to speak.
  13. I'm thinking something along the lines of acute hepatitis. Viral hepatitis at a guess, since the increased immune activity would indicate infection. Doesn't really explain the neurological stuff though. And I don't recall having heard much of anything about hepatitis in 2008.
  14. The unit that you have is "molecules." You want to get to moles. You have 6.022x10^23 molecules per mole. The reciprocal of this is 1/(6.022x10^23) mol/molecules. So: 2.107x10^24 molecules * 1/(6.022x10^23) moles/molecules. Molecules cancel, and you are left with moles.
  15. Salk vaccine, and the associated elimination of polio Plastics One of my friends suggested the Haber process.
  16. IMO mad cow disease doesn't cut it because the time course is too quick, and no neural tissue was transferred.
  17. And yet, they still keep asking me for money. At this point, the ads are just becoming annoying. The other night it was: Ad for local democrat Ad for local democrat Ad against state bill Ad against local democrat Ad for (same) state bill Ad for Obama All in one commercial break. It's just tiring.
  18. We've (my roommate and I) been puzzling over this one for a while, and have run into a rather solid wall: We've been attacking this problem by dividing the sphere into infinitely thin "shells" and trying to come up with various to formulas to integrate over the radius. We've run into a problem on the following (I have no idea how to use LaTeX, so I'll do my best to describe): We are running into problems with writing out a function for pressure, as pressure is a function of radius of the entire sphere, and the depth that is being considered. The radius of the entire sphere, however, is a function of the pressure, as the pressure determines how much the iridium is compressed. So our equations seem to go in an endless loop, with one always turning up inside the integral of the other. Anyone? /bump
  19. At a guess, I'd say the pole is 0m long. I'd also guess that the fisherman didn't drink his milk as a young 'un, and is therefore also 0m tall.
  20. I broke this down into numbers to make it easier for me to answer. 1) This question doesn't mean much, as relativity is observed in experiments. It is far more than just a logical convenience. For example, GPS satellites must take into account that their clocks run slightly slower than ours, in order to produce accurate locations. 2) Assuming your god was omnipotent, then anything is possible. 3) See above.
  21. You need to use the height of 1.7m to calculate the initial y velocity, using the acceleration due to gravity. You then need to use trigonometry to find the initial velocity from the initial y velocity calculated above.
  22. So, if we take the limit, as balloon size goes to zero...we get some sort of model that has little relevance. In any case, if the guy under the balloons is provided with a compressed air source to breath, it would be much harder to crush him, given that his lungs would be near the ambient pressure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barotrauma
  23. http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=35529&highlight=Skis There is a fair amount of info here also.
  24. Are you asking if we can read it, or are you asking someone to send it to you?
