You can divide and store ground meat in a zip loc bag. Just break off how much you need and keep the rest in the freezer for later. If you place a wooden spoon over a pot of boiling water, it won't boil over. Marshmallows can cure a soar throat. Stuffing a dryer sheet in your back pocket will repel mosquitoes. You can freeze cupcake batter for later use. You can paint upholstery You can make your own laundry soap. . You can dye plastic buttons. You can run a paper bag through your printer. You can print directly onto fabric. A dry erase marker can be used on most desk tops. You can mail anything that will take a stamp and weighs less than 13ounces without a box? HTML5 Sudoku. Squishy Physics. Student Winners Announced for Squishy Physics Photography Contest The second annual Squishy Physics Food Photography Contest was held Saturday, February 2, at Georgia Tech’s Clough Undergraduate Learning Center.

Squishy Physics

In conjunction with the Physics of Food and Cooking, Fernbank Science Center and educational partner Georgia Tech Physics Department gave metro Atlanta Middle and High School Students an opportunity to showcase their photographic talents. Students were asked to provide one 8” x 10” photographic entry with thought-provoking physical characteristics related to food or cooking.

Prizes were awarded to contest winners based upon appearance, creativity and the connection between science and cooking. This years winners were awarded certificates, ribbons and the following monetary gifts: Grand Prize of $150.00 and runner-up prizes of $100.00, $50.00 and Honorable Mention Award. Shear and compression of soft materials – How differe nt can they be? Diagramly - Draw Diagrams Online. Nature by numbers. The theory behind this movie. We can find interactive sites on the internet (like this) to draw points, move them, and check how the structure becomes updated in real time.

In fact, if we have a series of random dots scattered in the plane, the best way of finding the correct Voronoi Telesación for this set is using the Delaunay triangulation. And in fact, this is precisely the idea shown on the animation: first the Delaunay Triangulation and then, subsequently, the Voronoi Tessellation. But to draw a correct Delaunay Triangulation is necessary to meet the so-called “Delaunay Condition”. This means that: a network of triangles could be considered Delaunay Triangulation if all circumcircles of all triangles of the network are “empty”. Notice that actually, given a certain number of points in the plane there is no single way to draw triangles, there are many. You see that in the graph below, extracted from Wikipedia: Podéis verlo en la siguiente gráfica, extraída de la Wikipedia:

Weierstrass functions

Here is an example of one: It is not hard to show that this series converges for all x. In fact, it is absolutely convergent. It is also an example of a fourier series, a very important and fun type of series. It can be shown that the function is continuous everywhere, yet is differentiable at no values of x. Here's a graph of the function. You can see it's pretty bumpy. Below is an animation, zooming into the graph at x=1. Wikipedia and MathWorld both have informative entries on Weierstrass functions. Benford's Law. If you’ve not heard about Benford’s Law before, you’re in for a real treat with this post.
