1 Honors Laboratory: Specific Heat and Conservation of Energy When energy in the form of heat Q is added to a material‚ the temperature of the material rises. Note that temperature‚ in units of degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K)‚ is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is‚ while heat‚ in units of joules (J) or calories (cal)‚ is a measure of its thermal energy. 1cal = 4.19J. A measure of the efficiency with which a substance can store this heat energy is known as specific heat capacity‚ or simply

and new avenues for research opened up‚ one such field being the real time medical image processing whose applications have allowed medical practitioners worldwide to better diagnosis abilities. It consists of the implementation of various image processing algorithms like edge detection using mask filters‚ edge enhancement‚ interpolation etc resulting in better images suitable for diagnosis. The algorithmic computations in real-time may have high level of time based complexity and hence the use of digital

Is there ethics in business world? Neal Stoughton‚ a prominent finance professor‚ claims that there is no ethics in business world and it is not necessary at all to learn ethics in business school. We may find some theories or practices in support of this idea. For example‚ Adam Smith conceived the concept of "invisible hand" which describe individuals maximize their own interest in a free market can bring benefits to the whole society.
