the fossil is strong evidence of a gradually changing form. These examples are few and far between. There is very little evidence which supports phyletic gradualism due to no intermediate species being found in the fossil record. Punctuated equilibrium is a theory that evolution is characterized by long periods of stability in the characteristics of an organism and short periods of rapid change during which new forms appear‚ especially from small subpopulations of the ancestral form in restricted

upon revisiting the literature I read years ago‚ striking parallels emerged between two specific works. In “1984‚” George Orwell preaches the dangers of totalitarianism and the deprecation of individual freedoms in the face of unbridled power. Likewise‚ Mary Shelley’s haunting reminder in “1984” dissects the consequences that arise from the pursuit of knowledge without ethical

Torque and Equilibrium Purpose: Apply principle of static equilibrium to determine a coefficient of friction. Research Question: What is the coefficient of friction between a meter stick and wall? Hypothesis: Tying a piece of string on to the end of a meter stick‚ put the other end of the meter stick against the wall so that the meter stick is horizontal and does not slide down the wall. Hang a weight on the meter stick sliding it to a point where the meter stick is about to come off from

Understanding Equilibrium in the IS/LM Model 1995 version Prof. Humberto Barreto1 Introduction: This brief work is designed to provide additional ammunition for the student in the ongoing war against IS/LM confusion and ignorance. The author has claimed in his Notes on Macroeconomic Theory (1995) that‚ There should be no mystery or uncertainty surrounding the IS/LM analysis at this point. IS/LM curves are simply a short-cut to finding the equilibrium values for income and interest rate. There

Introduction to the Bertrand Model The Bertrand model was developed by Joseph Bertrand to challenge Cournot’s work on non-cooperative oligopolies. Cournot’s model dealt with an N number of firms who will choose a specific quantity of output where price is a known decreasing function of total output. (About.com 2011) However‚ Bertrand’s argument was with regard to the setting of prices. He said the only factors influencing the price in an oligopolistic market were the firms themselves and therefore

Objective: To determine the concentration and equilibrium constant for a reaction of colored product using absorption spectroscopy‚ to create a calibration curve for determining equilibrium concentrations by applying Beer’s law and to force the completion of a reaction by applying Le Châtelier’s principle. Procedure: A diluted solution was made from the stock of 0.0025 M Fe(NO3)3 by diluting 4.0 mL to exactly 100.00 mL‚ using serological pipet and volumetric flask. The concentration of the diluted
