Personality traits Personality Traits: Characteristics that influence how people think, feel and behave on and off the job. Include tendencies to be enthusiastic demanding, easy-going, nervous, etc. Each trait can be viewed on a continuum, from low to high There is no \wrong trait, but rather managers have

Molecular Cellular Tissue Biomechanics Patrick Doyle(ChemE), Roger Kamm ME Be) Maxine Jonas(BE Goal: Develop a fundamental understanding of biomechanics over a wide range of length scales

3-1 Measures of Random Syntactic Information Shannon Theory of Information Key point: 1. Information is something that can be used to remove uncertainty. 2. The amount of information can then be measured by the amount of uncertainty it removed. 3. In the cases of communications, only waveform is concerned while meaning and value are ignored. 4. Uncertainty and thus information are statistic in nature and statistical mathematics is enough

The true language of computers is a stream of 1s and 0s—bits. Everything in the computer, be it numbers or text or program, spreadsheet or database or 3-D rendering, is nothing but an array of bits. The meaning of the bits is in the “eye of the beholder”; it is determined entirely by context. Bits are not a useful medium for human consumption. Instead, we insist that what we read be formatted spatially and presented

All cereals contain a large proportion of starch. In its natural form, the starch is insoluble, tasteless, and unsuited for human consumption. To make it digestible and acceptable it must be cooked. Breakfast cereals are products that are consumed after cooking, and they fall into two categories: those made by a process that does not include cooking and which therefore have to be cooked domestically (hot cereals) and those which

In a free, unregulated market system, market forces establish equilibrium prices and exchange quantities. While equilibrium conditions may be efficient, it may be true that not everyone is satisfied

1 Model problem 1.1 Poisson Equation in 1D Boundary Value Problem(BVP) (x)=∫(x) (0,1),u(0)=(1)=0,f Describes many simple physical phenomena(e.g) Deformation of an elastic bar Deformation of a string under tension Temperature distribution in a bar The Poisson equation in one dimension is in fact an ordinary differ tion. When dealing with ordinary differential equations we Poisson equation will be used here to illastrate numerical techniques for elliptic PDE's in multi-dimensions. Other techniques specialized for ordinary differen tial equations could be used if we were only interested in the one dimension

Plant nitrogen 1.1 Uptake of N 1. N is required by plants in large amounts Most plant material contains 2-4%N and 40%C. 2. N is usually the limiting nutrient in unfertilized systems 3. Most n is taken up from the soil in the form of nht or no a small amount of NH3 can be absorbed through the leaves N2 can be used by legume plant via biological nitrogen fiXation

Anything that can be learned from direct experience can also be learned by indirect or vicarious experience

Substitutivity of Equivalence Let A,M and N be wffs and let AMN be the result of replacing M by N at zero or more occurrences (henceforth called designate occurrences) of M in A. 1. AMN is a wff. 2. If |= M ≡ N then |= A ≡ AMN
