Chapter 1 Exercise What is free software? List three characteristics of free software. Free software is code that is available for free to everyone‚ but it is also free in the sense that it can be used and altered freely to the user’s desires. It is free to be studied‚ redistributed‚ and modified. Why is Linux popular? Why is it popular in academia?Due to the operating system’s distribution among universities‚ students were able to become used to it’s sophisticated developing environment which

The Science of Transportation: Ancient World: The Wheel: • How do they work? Wheels work by rolling along a surface. The curved surface of the wheel reduces the friction between the two surfaces due to a decrease in surface area. With less friction it is much easier to move an object. This is because rolling friction is much weaker than sliding friction. • How did they come to be? The wheel was invented in prehistoric times; as the oldest example of a wheel yet found is from the region of

Rothaermel Exercise 1 BUSI 690 29 June 2014 Discussion Question 1.1 (2 parts to this question): 1.1. A strategy is a term used to describe the firm’s “overall efforts to gain and sustain competitive advantage” (Rothaermel‚ 2013‚ p. 9). The “translation of the strategy into action takes place in the firm’s business model‚ which details the firm’s competitive tactics and initiatives” (Rothaermel‚ p. 11). Basically‚ a strategy will explain how a firm will make money but the difference between a

1. The cell membrane structure is vital to the life of the cell. The cell membrane is shaped as having a phosphate head at the very outer surface‚ and two fatty acid tails hanging from it. The membrane is double‚ so at the tip of the fatty acid tails‚ there are two more fatty acid tails attached to another phosphate head. This is what it looks like: <br> <br>The reason the cell membrane is shaped like this is mainly to control the water flow in and out of the cell. Water is very important to

in the cell cycle. Particular protein kinases give the go-ahead signals at G1 and G2 checkpoints. These protein kinases are present at a constant concentration in the cell but are inactive unless in the presence of cyclin‚ these are cyclin dependent kinases. The activity of a cdk rises and falls with the concentration of cyclin. Cyclin levels rise during the S and G2 phases then fall abruptly in the M phase. MPF – maturation-programming factor – cyclin cdk complex that triggers a cells passage

Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses ACTIVITY 1 The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. If the extracellular K+ increases then the concentration of intracellular K+ will decrease causing a decrease in the steepness of the concentration gradient and fewer K+ ions would be drawn out. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative
