Organic Chemistry Tutor Explains the Chemistry Behind Transistors

Organic Chemistry Tutor Explains the Chemistry Behind TransistorsAn organic chemistry tutor must possess the knowledge of transistors and how they are constructed. Transistors are a key component in electronics and carry out critical functions that make them functional.Transistors are the most critical components in our modern day lives. It is used in all electronic devices, such as cell phones, computers, and televisions. The potential applications for transistors are endless.Because they are so important to our electronic devices, we must first understand their construction and function. A transistor, also known as a diode, is an electrical component that is made up of two separate components separated by a substance called a base. When one element is turned on, the other will conduct electricity.It is a rather straightforward task to understand the workings of transistors and electronics in general. In order to understand these workings, it is imperative that an organic chemistry tutor makes sure that they have a solid grounding in all areas of science. Having such knowledge will allow them to grasp all aspects of science and technology.The arrangement of materials in electrical circuits is extremely important. Most computer components contain silicon, which is the substance that makes transistors function. A student with a good grasp of what transistors actually are can take advantage of this knowledge to learn all about them.When it comes to learning all about electronics, it is best to be prepared by getting the right organic chemistry tutor to guide you through this vital area. By understanding all the important steps involved in understanding the workings of transistors, it is also possible to know all the parts that go into making such a wonderful invention. By knowing the technical side of things, students can better equip themselves for their future career.It is essential that you don't rush off without fully understanding a subject. A big jump in un derstanding is often noticed after years of study. So it is highly recommended that you take your time and ensure that you have an understanding of everything.Understanding transistors is crucial to understanding how to design and build electric circuits. The materials used to construct transistors can often be found at the school where the organic chemistry tutor is studying.

Recession Can Not Slow Interest In Elite Colleges

Recession Can Not Slow Interest In Elite Colleges The stacks and online databases of hopeful, entrance applications for the incoming 2009-2010 freshmen class have grown sharply for the nations top, competitive schools, decreasing the chances of acceptance, according to The New York Times. Harvard, Stanford, Dartmouth, Yale and Brown are some of the more recognizable schools that saw increases in applications. These schools have traditionally been highly selective, and they have scrutinized applications further, making it one of the toughest years for hopeful students. The Times reported that the percentage of students accepted into these competitive colleges has been or near record lows. Bill Fitzsimmons, dean of admissions and financial aid at Harvard since 1986, told The New York Times that Harvard had a record high number of applications for this year with 29,112. This marked a 6% increase from last year. He said that the percentage of students admitted dropped from 8% last year to 7%. Dartmouth had a similar numbers with 18,130 applications and a 12% acceptance rate, both of which were records. Stanford had a 20% increase in applications with 30,350 with an estimated 7.5% acceptance rate, which would be its lowest in school history. Furthermore, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton all experienced increases in applications. Brown reported increases of 21%, Yale 14%, Columbia 13%, Cornell 3%, the University of Pennsylvania 4% and Princeton said it was up 2% as of January, according to The New York Times. Despite the increase of interest in Ivy League Schools and many other elite, selective colleges, many liberal arts schools had a decline in applications, according to The New York Times. Williams Colleges, in Massachusetts, overall applications dropped 20%, which increased the percentage of accepted students to 20%. The New York times attributed the schools drop to its location. The New York Times reported that travelling to and from school could be expensive because Williams College is distant from any major city or airport. Middlebury College in Vermont had a 12% drop in applications for similar reasons, according to The New York Times . Amherst, a Williams College rival, in Massachusetts reported that applications were down 1%; however, the college boosted its admission rate to 16% because Amherst wants to increase its number of first-year students by 25. Wesleyan University in Connecticut, however, had a 22% increase in applications, dropping its admission rate by 5% to 22%. There were not many changes in the common application, an online application that over 350 universities accept, according to The New York Times. The Times also reported that there has been a surge in applications for major, well-known public universities. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and The University of Virginia in Charlottesville all saw gains in the number of applications. Because of these increasing statistics, students will find it increasingly difficult and more competitive to get into these elite universities. The chance of that acceptance letter bearing good news in the mailbox is greatly decreasing. The U.S News and World Report reported its rankings of the best, national schools in mid June, 2009. 1.

3 Mistakes New Guitar Players Make With Strings

3 Mistakes New Guitar Players Make With Strings Suzy S. The guitar strings you choose and how you care for them can make a huge impact on your playing ability! Here, Warner Robins, GA teacher  B. Greg C.  shares the three mistakes that can hinder your learning As a teacher and as a musician, I have found time after time new players making the same three big mistakes with their guitar strings. These issues may seem small, but when it comes to learning to play the guitar, these amount to huge failings. Beginning players already have a hard time and enough frustration to deal with learning fingerings and fatigue of the hand. Handling these three issues will help alleviate some of the frustration and help make playing and learning easier. Not Keeping the Guitar In Tune The first mistake is not  keeping the guitar in tune. Some new guitarists may not hear the tonal differences right away while playing, but most will wonder why the chord sounds slightly foul, or more foul than usual. Tuning the guitar with a tuner before any practice session helps a great deal in the quality of the chord. When two or more strings are not correctly tuned the chord can have a quality to it that simply frustrates you compared to what you remember hearing during your lesson. This adds to the frustration of checking fingerings and the structure of the chord. Tuning should become a habit before you play give it a shot before you start practice! Choosing the Wrong String Gauge String “gauge” or thickness is a touchy subject at times. While your instructor should be aware of what music tastes you have and what sound you want to get when learning, be wise in your choice of strings. Using a light or extra-light gauge on acoustic guitars and medium-light or light on electrics will make learning as a beginner much easier. The smaller diameter of the strings makes learning the motor skills and muscle memory easier. The lighter gauge strings also make finger fatigue less of an issue. You won’t be fighting the strings and trying to understand why that new chord is buzzing (from lack of pressure) or why the strings do not sustain as well. After you start to get the skill and muscles built up, then worry about going with the fat juicy sound of heavier-gauge string sets! Not Remembering to Change the Strings Last but not least is knowing when to change your guitar strings. Uncoated strings “die” or “deaden” over time and some break, and even coated strings die eventually. As a beginner, you should consider changing uncoated strings once every month if you are practicing 30 minutes for three to five days a week. If you are practicing less you can go a little longer; if you practice more then consider changing them more often. To keep the strings clean, be sure to wash and dry your hands prior to playing, as this reduces the oils, dirt, and sweat accumulating on the strings that cause the metal in the string to deteriorate. You can also wipe the strings with a dry cloth or a string wipe, which helps remove some grime. When a string deteriorates it will not stay in tune well, has a chance of breaking, and does not sustain as well. Coated strings can be great for beginners, but uncoated do tend to have a different sound and a different feel. Whether you choose coated or uncoated, be sure to look them over and change them when they need it. Hope this helps some of the newer students! Best wishes to your endeavors as a musician, and keep the beat going! B. Greg C. teaches guitar and music theory in Warner Robins, GA.

6 Science-Backed Study Hacks for Learning Spanish

6 Science-Backed Study Hacks for Learning Spanish Suzy S. Learning a second language can be a difficult task. However, with the right study habits and a  drive to succeed, it can become a much easier, quicker, and enjoyable process. To help, we’ve rounded up six  study hacks that will prep your mind and body for learning Spanish more easily. Check out the tips below for ideas on the fastest way to learn Spanish. 1) Write your notes by hand. We know you’ve heard this seemingly outdated tip before, but it’s one of the best and simplest Spanish study hacks that exists. Studies suggest that you are more likely to recall information if you hand-write the information, because your brain has to focus on writing out the  actual words. So, ditch your keyboard or your iPad, and resort to an old-fashioned pen and paper. If you feel like you have to type your notes in lessons  in order to keep up with your teacher, rewrite them by hand when you get home to help you study and retain the information. 2) Exercise. This might sound like a weird tip, but a 2009 study showed that physical activity can improve brain function, learning, and memory. Try combining the two when you can by listening to a Spanish language podcast while at the gym. Instead of watching TV during a study break, take a jog around the block. Leading an active lifestyle will help you recall Spanish better. 3) Chew gum while you study. A recent study showed that those who chewed gum while they learned had higher accuracy rates when recalling information than those who did not chew gum. There is also a potential link between level of focus and gum chewing. So, the next time you’re struggling to concentrate, pop in some minty-fresh gum, and get back to studying! 4) Immerse yourself in the language. A 2012 study shows that students who immerse themselves in the language instead of only learning in a classroom setting are more likely to absorb it. Furthermore, the study suggests that immersion can help the brain process the language like a native speaker. Try speaking and writing in Spanish whenever possible to better immerse yourself in the language! 5) Say it aloud. This study shows that people who say information out loud  are more likely to remember it than people who read everything silently. This study also suggests that our brain likes to remember oddball information, so you should choose to say aloud the information that is most important, not all of the facts that you have in front of you. 6) Don’t stress; get some sleep. Even though cramming for an exam or your trip to Spain might seem like a good idea, studies have proven that sleep is more beneficial than extra hours of studying. Getting a sufficient amount of sleep in the days leading up to your exam or trip will help  you to better recall information. Heres a recap of all these Spanish study hacks in one handy infographic: Share this Image On Your Site pstrongPlease include attribution to TakeLessons.com with this graphic./strong/pbr /br / pa href=/blog/fastest-way-to-learn-Spanish-z03img src=/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/6-Science-Backed-Study-Hacks-for-Learning-Spanish1.jpg alt=6 Science-Backed Study Hacks for Learning Spanish [Infographic] width=720px border=0 //a/pbr /br / p So, whats the fastest way to learn Spanish?

The Qing Dynasty Chinas Last Empire

The Qing Dynasty China’s Last Empire All You Ever Wanted to Know about the Qing Empire. ChaptersWhere was the Qing Dynasty, and When?The Origins of the Qing EmpireThe Qing Dynasty at its PeakThe Qing Empire in DeclineConclusion.The Qing were the last imperial dynasty in China, reigning between  the seventeenth century to the Chinese republic in the twentieth. The Qing ruled during a period in which the world’s great powers were increasingly concentrated in Europe, and this Chinese empire ultimately fell due to competition and aggression from precisely those powers.Yet, they were hugely important in the history of modern China, and anyone studying the A Level in China in the Twentieth Century will need to grapple with the fall of the Qing. Importantly, it was this dynasty that established the borders of modern China, ruling over a multicultural and increasingly huge population, and succumbing to powers â€" such as the British Empire â€" with much more advanced technologies, trade, and militaries.

However, dynastic rule preceded these dates, being technically declared in Manchuria.The Qing was the fifth largest empire in history. Not only did it essentially establish the borders of contemporary China, but it gained control over Tibet, Outer Mongolia, and Taiwan, and its role in Manchuria gave it significant influence over Korea.The rulers were from Manchuria, the north-eastern part of China that borders with Korea. This is the reason for its nickname â€" the Manchu dynasty â€" and its capital city was in Shenyang before moving to Beijing.It collapsed in 1912, after eight global powers invaded together: Italy, US, Austro-Hungary, France, Japan, German, the Russian Empire, and the UK. They were trying to quell the Boxer Rebellion â€" an anti-foreigner movement led by the ruler at the time, Empress Dowager Cixi. When the rebellion was crushed, Cixi fled to Xi’an, Manchuria, and the empire soon came to an end.The Qing Dynasty in 1820 - one of the largest empires ever.The Origins of the Qing EmpireWhat is interesting, in the context of twentieth-century China’s emphasis on Han ethnicity, is that the Qing dynasty was only the second time China was not ruled by the Han - the first time being the Mongol Empire.  Rather, it was established and ruled by the Jurchen people from M anchuria.Initially, the Manchurian state was established by a tribal chieftain called Nurhaci, who attempted to unify the tribes in Manchuria around him. in 1616, Nurhaci declared himself Khan of the Great Jin.He attacked the Ming Dynasty to unite further tribes who at that time were still allied to the Chinese empire in Beijing and, capturing the city of Shenyang in 1625, he made that city his capital, known as Mukden.Whilst he was allied with the Khorchin Mongols - descendants of the Mongol Empire - it was evident that he had insufficient Manchu troops to conquer China proper. However, after further military successes, he enlisted more Mongols, and enlisted into his army Han people who had defected from the Ming.Nurhaci died in 1626. After extensive familial struggles for succession, Nurhaci’s grandson, Shunzhi, became emperor and eventually conquered Ming dynasty Beijing and declared Qing rule over the whole of China in 1644. Shunzhi took up the Mandate of Heaven. This was the Chinese belief that anyone who ruled China did so under the pleasure of heaven. If a dynasty was overthrown, or if there were significant natural disasters, it was seen as a sign that heaven no longer supported that ruler.After the conquest of Beijing, the defeat of the remnants of the Ming took a further seventeen years.

He was replaced by his third son, who became the Kangxi emperor.Throughout the next three generations â€" the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong â€" Qing China reached its peak of strength, influence, wealth, and cultural and artistic achievement.Kangxi â€" ruling from 1661 to 1722 â€" is the longest Chinese ruler ever. Interestingly enough, however, his grandson, Qianlong, would have outdone him, but he resigned so as not to surpass his grandfather’s rule.TerritoryThroughout the height of the Qing, the emperors consolidated power over China and extended their territories further. Kangxi beat the Russians in battle at the Amur River, which led to the 1689 Treaty of Nerchinsk â€" allowing China to dominate much of Siberia and Manchuria (although the Russian Empire would later overturn this). He beat the Dzungar Mongols to gain control of Inner and Outer Mongolia and Tibet and gained control of Taiwan.Part of the Chinese emperor’s job had a lways been to put down rebellions, and in 1673, the Revolt of the Three Feudatories was quashed by Kangxi’s forces.GovernmentChinese government, once it moved to Beijing, was based in the Forbidden City.Whilst the Emperor was an absolute ruler, he sat on six ministries which dealt respectively with revenue, rites and religion, war, crime, public works, and appointments to the civil service. Appointments to these ministries were split between Manchu and Han â€" and some Mongolians â€" in order to keep the multicultural nature of the regime. Just in terms of religion the diversity was vast, with Confucianism mixing with Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and, later, Christianity.These ministries were mainly for routine admin, but major decisions were taken in the court, where the noblemen and the emperor’s family dwelt.Arts and CultureDespite new technologies in printing and reproduction, the Qing dynasty was not a peak of Chinese culture. Inspiration came primarily from artists during the previous dynasty â€" the Ming â€" during which artistic production flourished. Porcelain, painting, and the novel, for example, came into their own, but all were performed under Ming inspiration.The fact that the Qing were from Manchuria caused a number of measures to ensure cultural cohesion across China. Kangxi insisted that, in the military, Manchurian hairstyles must be worn â€" under pain of death â€" and Chinese women were ordered not to bind their feet. Qianlong, who reigned from 1735 to 1796, aggressively maintained official Confucian and Manchurian culture, burning any books that criticised them.One important development was the Kangxi Dictionary, which standardised Chinese script. Kangxi also liked western instruments and technology, and he employed westerners in his court.World TradeWhilst trade with the west was a source of wealth for China, it was also one of the factors causing imperial decline. After 1757, Canton (now Guangzhou) was the only place permitted to trade w ith the west. The British, for example, bought massive shipments of tea from the Chinese.However, throughout the period, and particularly during Qianlong’s reign, China was in decline â€" whilst Europe was growing ever more powerful. Qianlong denied further trade with the Europeans, seeing them as lesser peoples to the Chinese and, after 1796, no further Europeans could meet with the emperor.The Qianlong Emperor was one of the greatest of China's Qing Dynasty.The Qing Empire in DeclineFinanceDuring the reign of Qianlong, the Chinese state was running out of money to pay their ministers and military. The tax rates were very low, and the booming population meant that there was a lot of pressure on land, government, and resources.Efforts to modernise were increasingly thwarted by conservative politicians, and, during Qianlong, corruption was rife, meaning that money was diverted from more important things.WarChina’s nineteenth century was dominated by war.Most significantly, perhap s, were the two Opium Wars with Britain. Opium was popular in China and, in order to make money, British traders attempted to sell huge quantities of it to the Chinese. The drug was banned â€" as there was an addiction epidemic â€" but the British resented this quick end to their lucrative trade. This led to war, first in 1840 and then again between 1856 and 1860. The treaty forced upon China after Britain’s victory brought many westerners into the country and weakened Qing rule.In 1860, the Russian Empire was expanding, and it retook the Amur River. In 1894, furthermore, China fought Japan over influence over Korea. Japan won completely and China was forced to submit ports and land.The Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled Qing China at the end of the nineteenth century.RebellionBetween 1850 and 1864, China was shaken by the Taiping rebellion, in which the Christian Hong Xiuquan took over the city of Nanjing for a decade. Twenty million people are ultimately thought to have died, and t he war inspired many similar rebellions to flourish across the next half a century.The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 was one of the most important of these. Directed towards the Europeans, however, it was supported by the Qing ruler of the time, Empress Dowager Cixi. It attempted essentially to kick out foreigners, but this led to eight countries invading the country and quashing it â€" to defend their colonial interests there.FallAs a result, the Dowager Cixi fled to Manchuria. She returned after a year in 1902, but further revolution â€" namely the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 â€" overthrew her successor, and a republic was established by anti-Qing revolutionaries. The resulting republic was to lead to the rise of the famous Mao Zedong.Conclusion.You can learn more about the greatest empires ever, about the Roman Empire, and about the Ottoman Empire in the other pieces in the series!

Online Standard Measurement Chart- Online Math Tutors

Online Standard Measurement Chart- Online Math Tutors Standard measurement chart is one of the most effective mechanisms for presenting data in a form meaningful to decision makers is chart. Through charts, the decision maker can often get an overall picture of the data the data and reach some useful conclusions merely by studying the graph. Converting data to charts can be creative and artful. Often the most difficult step in this process is to reduce important and sometimes expensive data to a chart that is both clear and concise One of the most important uses of charts in statistics to help the researcher determine the shape of the distribution. Types of charts Histogram is as type of vertical bar chart is used to depict a frequency distribution. A histogram is a useful tool for differentiating the frequencies of class intervals. Pie chartis a circular depiction of data where the area of the whole pie represents 100% of the data being studied and slices represents a percentage breakdown of the sublevels. Pie charts show the relative magnitudes of parts to a whole. They are widely used in business, particularly to depict such thing as budget categories, market share, and time and resource allocations. However, the use of pie charts is minimized in the sciences and technology because pie charts can lead to less accurate judgments than are possible with other types of graphs.

5 Factors to know when you ask When is it time to go - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 5 Factors to know when you ask “When is it time to go - Introvert Whisperer 5 Factors to know when you ask “When is it time to go? If you’re sitting in your office bored, ticked off or feeling down you may be thinking it’s time to go.   BUT, you’re not sure.   You are rationalizing staying because there is one more great thing you can contribute or you feel obligated in some way.   We all go through this kind of mental tug-of-war at one time or another.   Knowing when it’s the right time to give yourself permission to move on is one of those big life changers and with it comes anxiety. There are some indicators of satisfaction that you can examine that will help you make that decision. Let’s review some of them to help you move that decision making along. Salary â€" I’m almost embarrassed to mention money. Not because “it shouldn’t matter”, it’s because I know it isn’t one of the top 3 issues. I mention it first because everyone does and I want to get it out of the way. What you are paid as it turns out are not the top 3-5 satisfiers for your career.   It is something, however. If it is out of line or doesn’t pay the bills it is a big DISsatisfier and you do need to move on.   If your pay is appropriate for the job you do, area you live in and meets most of your need, then you’re probably doing fine and this isn’t a big enough deal to make you leave. Boss â€" This one is the big one. The person that you immediately report to is the number one top item that will make work life great or bad. You don’t have to love this person or even be buddies but you do need to respect this person and feel that it’s mutual.   Also, you need to be realistic about this person.   Bosses will never be perfect.   They are like the rest of us; they have bad hair days and also have their own quirks.   The question you need to ask yourself is: “Can I be successful doing work with this person in the picture?” Job Content â€" This is all about the kind of work you perform. You need to feel like you have the skills, talents, and background to perform the job. At the same time, you should feel like you can make a contribution and grow.   Job growth is not necessarily about being promoted.   It is learning new tasks, taking on new responsibilities and making new contributions.   The content of your job should be something that continuously stimulates and interests you.   If you have reached a point where everything is pretty much the same, you need to move on before it impacts your self-esteem. Work environment â€" This is both the physical space you do the work in and what is in the environment such as people, building and location. You can have a great job, great boss but have to commute 2 hours each way. Your life is potentially impacted too significantly. You may like the job but the environment you are in is too toxic because of interoffice relations.   The people you work with could be your source of dissatisfaction and you may not even realize it.   We form friendships and alliances with the people we spend so much time working with.   At the same time they may feel freedom in complaining and pointing out all the things that are bad.   This will have a negative impact on you.   You need to examine this situation and determine what you can control and what you can’t.   At the same time, you need to determine if you were to design the perfect work environment, would it be like this? Something else â€" If all the stars are aligned and the items listed above are all working well enough for you, you may be tugged by “something else”. The something else could be a lifelong dream of being a nurse or something completely different than what you’re doing today. The something else could be a deep desire to move and live somewhere other than where you are today.   It’s ok to give yourself permission to move toward something as opposed to away from your current career.   This category of “something else” may turn out to be your calling Life is too short to spend too much time working at a job situation you don’t love and doesn’t nurture your soul.   Your career should feel shamefully fun and more like an avocation.   Making a decision like this can be tough but it is not a sign that you’re doing the wrong thing.   It’s tough because it is a big part of how you spend your life.   It’s tough because you want to make sure you enjoy the next thing.   It’s tough because it’s a change.
