What properties differentiate human language from all other forms of signaling and what properties make it a unique type of communication system? There have been a number of attempts to determine the defining properties of human language and different lists of features can be found. The following is a slightly modified list of features proposed by the linguist Charles Hockett: 1. Arbitrariness. It is generally the case that there is no ’natural’ connection between a linguistic form and

Experiment Five – Group Chemistry The Alkaline Earths and the Halogens: Two Families in the Periodic Table Prelaboratory Questions 1. All of the common noble gases are monatomic and low-boiling. Their boiling points in °C are: Ne‚ –245; Ar‚ –186; Kr‚ –152; Xe‚ –107. Using the Periodic Table‚ predict as best you can the molecular formula and boiling point of radon‚ the only radioactive element in this family. _______________________ ____________________°C Molecular Formula

account of the structure and properties of Biological membranes. Include details of the modifications of membrane structure found in different specialised cells and organelles½ The Fluid Mosaic model was codified by Singer and Nicolson in 1972. It describes the structure and properties of the cell membrane very simply. Every membrane consists of a Phospholipid bilayer. This is simply two layers of phospholipid molecules that come together due to their unique properties. The heads of the phospholipids

Optical Properties of Quasicrystals: Negative Refraction Quasicrystals‚ or crystals that display the unusual property of non-periodicity (while remaining ordered)‚ were discovered in the 1980s by Dan Shechtman. A highly controversial topic‚ Shechtman did not produce a paper describing them for over two years after their discovery. However‚ within the past 30 years‚ the scientific community has come to accept them‚ reproduce them for study‚ and even award Dan Shechtman with a Nobel Prize for their

Engineering materials Choice of materials for a machine element depends very much on its properties‚ cost‚ availability and such other factors. It is therefore important to have some idea of the common engineering materials and their properties before learning the details of design procedure. Common engineering materials are normally classified as metals and nonmetals. Metals may conveniently be divided into ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Important ferrous metals for the present purpose

To investigate the physical properties of pure chemical substances. Procedure: For this lab we used four test tubes and poured equal amounts of a substance in each test tube. We then observed the color and odor. We then heated the substance and recorded the observation. The next tube we added cold water and observed the effects‚ then we heated it
