Is the fact that 14CD:59 == 14CD:0059 an issue? Significant digits, the zeros are omitted. . .

The question has nothing to do with Intel Assembly . . . . . Look at the left hand column each line is divided into 16 address spaces each space holds x number of bytes . . . . this is my hint this looks like homework!

Given the example of an audio wave file, bit depth and sample rate. We can represent the amplitude of a continuous wave using the bit depth. If we have a bit depth of 16bits then the amplitude of the analogue wave can be represented by 2^16 values. We can then sample the amplitude by a given sample rate. So if the sample rate is 44kHz we sample the amplitude of a wave 44000 times per second. There is a good deal of rounding going on in this process and converting a continuous wave to a discrete representation tends to be pretty lossy. The application however, determines the detail of the representation used. I don't know if this helps any but . . . .

Here is an example question . . . .. Hebden Chemistry 12; Unit III, Question 57 What concentration of [math] S^{2-} [/math] is required to just start precipitation of [math] CuS [/math] from a 0.20 M solution of [math] CuCl_2 [/math]? Answer: [math] K_{sp} = [ Cu^{2+} ] [ S^{2-} ] = 6.0 \times 10^{-37} [/math] [math] [ S^{2-} ] = \frac{K_{sp}}{ [ Cu^{2+} ] } = \frac{6.0 \times 10^{-37}}{.2} = 3 \times 10^{-36} [/math] If this were [math] CuS [/math] dissociating we would have a ratio of 1M to 1M dissociated ions in solution. But in our trial we have .2 M of Copper and [math] 3 \times 10^{-36} [/math] of Sulphide. The comparative ratios are drastic but the saturation point based on the solubility product remains the same regardless of this fact. If the Sulphide concentration were lower there would be no precipitate? According to Hebden this is the reality, but for me it doesn't make logical sense. Is this a case of the change would be so small as to be negligible so shut up and do your homework?

Chem 12, no laughing . . .. Given two ions in a solution we can calculate the Trial Ion Product. My question here is, if one ion is disproportionately greater than the other will precipitate always form around when the Qsp == the Ksp value? Is this linear behaviour? I am just not convinced of the whole idea here. It assumes that the saturation point is invariant given the concentrations of the individual ions. What I am having a problem with is if Ksp = [A] = (1)(1) = 1 and we have [A]=10000 and =.0001 we will have a precipitate because Qsp == Ksp. So where is anything less than .0001M we will not? I would assume with such disproportionate values we would have to take more points into consideration. Am I missing something obvious that makes this assumption obvious? Thx T.I.P.'s

I don't think that "making buildings higher" is analogous to "decreasing the need for mobility." The idea here is organized integration of city and transportation. This is something that we already do, but in a rather crude way. The current focus is on driver freedom and the human right to mobility. The reality is our freedoms are destroying the planet and we need to weigh this into our future development strategies. Any system founded on allowing maximum freedom and mechanical assistance is going to be costly to our resources. Proper integration of resources into living spaces will be the focus of all future developments and this is slowly being realized by all participants in our present re-evaluation's of systems.

Yes, continuous == analogue and discrete == digital. Sometimes discrete signals can be embedded in continuous signals ie. surround sound signals for home theater. Technically, as in the example of the audio file, a Digital Analogue Converter could be called a Digital Signal Processor. The analogue waveform, on hard disk, is a digital representation with bit depth and sample rate, and so on. A DAC will take this discrete signal and convert it to a continuous or analogue signal. I'm curious what natural constraints you were envisioning onto analogue signals as so they were not contiguous with continuous signals?

I was going to say " but Cap' would know best!" but didn't think it was an appropriate comment, even though it was! There should be an HTML5 spoiler tag . . . . .

I was thinking more on the processed output side, but yeah. I just didn't get the question and it was sitting there.

An audio file?

Probably not! Most Forum packages use PHP or a server side scripting language that in turn generates HTML pages dynamically. I am not aware of a Forum package that uses DHTML as a plateau for features. This isn't to say that you couldn't find a way to code a spoiler button using HTML, you will just have to learn how to code en lieux of cut and paste.

If this was supposed to say free or open source, as far as I can find there isn't a free and open source CAE package that fits your description. If you would like to spend some time on getting something up and going there are options. The best one that I can tell, given your enthusiasm for text files, would be OpenFOAM /w OpenCASCADE. If you wanted to do volumetric meshing inside of a meshing studio Salome Platform is pretty ok if you can get it to build right. There are binaries for various Linux builds and the source is available. I built it under Scientific Linux, but of coarse, this requires installing Linux and you were pretty specific about Windows. OpenFOAM /w OpenCASCADE is going to be a steep learning curve!

I like the ideas presented by Tokyo's Sky City project as seen in Discoveries Extreme Engineering S01E01. Mega cities with plateaus connected by an integrated transportation network comprising of lifts and Maglev systems. I would assume inter-connectivity of such structures would be achieved through the use of high speed rail systems as well.

I would have assumed the use of a laser, CO2. Google suggests the same, unless you wish to anneal the glass first. I don't think the idea of annealing applies in this case. Bullet proof glass is layered and the plastic layer would probably melt.

Thank you! I will read on then and try to put the pieces together.

maybe look up Adenine . . . . .

I keep coming back to the same brick wall on these matters, that prevents me from thinking beyond the initial value problem. Beginning with the Bohr Model, we have the attractive force between the nucleus and the electron. A stable orbit is achieved if the centrifugal force balances with this Coulombic attraction. Under wave-particle duality we have the need for harmonic orbitals. The length of the orbital must have a value of an integral number of the electrons wavelengths or it will interfere destructively with itself and the amplitude will decrease to zero. i) Do we ever observe non-harmonic orbiting? -- or -- Are non-harmonic orbitals never achieved? ii) Is it the harmonic oscillation that ensures the stable orbit? -- or -- Are harmonic oscillations the only way in which electronic orbitals manifest themselves? iii) Will the Ultra-Violet catastrophe occur when a non-harmonic orbit is achieved? -- or -- Do we never see the UV Catastrophe under any conditions at all? Understood, the Bohr model fails to predict all features of the set of phenomena as is presented by the theories of Quantum Mechanics. I am however, having a rather difficult time getting passed this early idea and I quickly lose interest in the pages following as my thoughts keep nagging me to get this part right first. I guess what I'm saying is, are classical pathways still taken and the events so short as to be described as non-existent? Is harmonic either achieved, or the reactants roll back down the hill as the activation energy is not satisfied as to make the products, or the products themselves collapse? I've been stuck on this for a very long time. I keep going over it and I get to a point and think that I must be missing something. For the most part I've blamed math, but now I know the math, at least the math required to do the work in the book I'm currently reviewing the concepts in. These questions though are completely left unanswered, and it seems that I'm just supposed to take it in and not ask questions.

I'm always looking into stuff like this and I hear a lot here, there and everywhere. University independent services exist that will evaluate transferability and AACROA is an example. I hear a lot of stories in Canada about international degrees not being recognized in part or at all. In the States it seems that some are more open than others. In both countries it generally depends on which sending country you are coming from. American Universities will accept Canadian degrees but require an evaluation for other countries. I know here Pakistani and Indian degrees generally do not transfer over. Looking over a few American Universities, Texas has their own evaluation department. I think it was Chicago that I was looking at, required international students to complete one full year of undergrad credits before commencing with their graduate degrees. Whether or not you take a Masters and then a PhD depends on the school, UBC offers Masters followed by PhD's and also direct PhD's. Penn had an applied Master's degree and a PhD and they seem to be independent programs. More specific details would probably insight better responses from individuals maybe who have attended said facilities.

It is to my understanding that future attempts made will involve a short term transplant. The transplant will only take place for the duration of the pregnancy, and the uterus would be removed afterward. Several attempts have been made and have failed so far. There is belief that the failure was actually caused by insufficient blood flow and new techniques are being evaluated to prevent this. The idea of destroying the human immune system is a bit off topic but is something I have been thinking about lately. I guess this is another example of our natural immune system working against us. Maybe someday this might be the case where we will voluntarily have our natural immune systems destroyed, and replaced by something synthetic!

I have a pet peeve with idiot drivers trying to run me over at intersections. I'm not sure how this is even possible because I am pretty tall and a rather noticeable human being. The last time it happened it was at an intersection with a pedestrian island. The driver was turning right but I was already crossing over onto the island. She was quite a bit away when I started crossing the ten feet that separates the island from the regular sidewalk. The driver was watching an accident far away and I had to jump out of the way so she wouldn't hit me. I smacked the car and it startled her. She stopped, looked at me and got mad because I smacked her car. I informed her that she had just about hit me, using my loudest "I'm gunna smack more than your car in minute" voice that I could use. I had more than the right of way she wasn't near the intersection when I was crossing and cars are supposed to yield and progress with caution regardless. She wasn't even in the turning lane when I started crossing, and she was also not watching her speed. In Canada there are drivers. Pedestrians for the most part do not exist, or exist in smallish quantities, with exception to certain downtown areas. But what the hell are you supposed to do if you do not drive? They get so mad when you delay their turning at intersections because you are crossing the road, or they honk and smile. Either or I have to watch my ass constantly! I think drivers need to be replaced . . . . . . . . . . because people can't drive, period.

The age risk factors would probably be with regard to the age of the donor, would it not? The egg would not be mine, and so given my body is supplying the proper nutrients, mitosis should be dependent on the age of the donor egg. I'm not clear as to what causes Down Syndrome and why age affects the probability of it occurring. Anti-rejection medication might also have health impacts on the developing child, but I am unaware of what these also might be.

But these concerns could be obviated away by prenatal screening, although the risks do suggest that maybe I should live and let go. I know how hard it is and how emotionally draining it can be to be born different and with disability. I guess for me some of the importance and significance of my having a baby is feeling normal and letting go of some of the pain I have felt from being observably different and incapable of what is normal animal function. I mean fungus can sexually reproduce and where I simply have never been capable. It would be a pretty shitty reason to in turn bring a child who has more functional problems than myself into the world! Thanks for making me aware of this. My Doctor hadn't really discussed the idea much with me, we will be discussing it in our next appointment. I know little with regard to medicine.

I asked my Doctor last week if he could put me on the list for a Uterine Transplant. I told him it was my hopes that by bringing it up now I would be in a better position to receive such a surgery, should the surgery gain some mainstream availability. The problem is that I am now thirty-two and it may be quite some time before this could happen. I'm just wondering if anybody has any foreknowledge about this sort of thing. Is forty-five too old to have a surgery like this? I hadn't wanted to have children until in my mid-forties so really it isn't a terrible inconvenience and I will probably adopt should I be with a husband and am settled. I mean they give really old people hearts and stuff . . . . . I also thought this was an interesting topic and any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated and I am hoping for some insightful opinions and so on!

I would like to try to give definitions to these. Matter: Any wavelength whose properties can be observed classically under given observation. Space: A relational substrate upon which observations can be made. Then matter occupies 'a' space as we observe it. Space could then be empty where the possibility of being 'non-empty' could be observed. I hope I'm not speaking out of place!

You can always build it yourself. You could even buy all of the same components, less the case, which you would probably rather make your own of anyway. It's not rocket science.
