Brainsmart - Remembering Numbers Brownian ratchet Schematic figure of a Brownian Ratchet The machine[edit] Why it fails[edit] Although at first sight the Brownian ratchet seems to extract useful work from Brownian motion, Feynman demonstrated that if the entire device is at the same temperature, the ratchet will not rotate continuously in one direction but will move randomly back and forth, and therefore will not produce any useful work. of the ratchet and pawl is the same as the temperature of the paddle, then the failure rate must equal the rate at which the ratchet ratchets forward, so that no net motion results over long enough periods or in an ensemble averaged sense.[2] A simple but rigorous proof that no net motion occurs no matter what shape the teeth are was given by Magnasco.[3] If, on the other hand, is smaller than , the ratchet will indeed move forward, and produce useful work. is greater than , the device will rotate in the opposite direction.

Scotland - Brainsmart Operatore ellittico Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. In analisi matematica, una equazione differenziale alle derivate parziali ellittica è un'equazione differenziale alle derivate parziali tale per cui i coefficienti delle derivate di grado massimo sono positivi. Si tratta dell'applicazione di un operatore ellittico, un operatore differenziale definito su uno spazi di funzioni che generalizza l'operatore di Laplace. Definizione[modifica | modifica sorgente] Un operatore differenziale lineare di ordine su un dominio è detto operatore ellittico se per ogni non nullo si ha: In molte applicazioni si richiede un requisito più stringente, la condizione di ellitticità uniforme, che si applica per operatori di grado pari: dove è una costante positiva. Un operatore non lineare: è ellittico se il suo sviluppo al primo ordine in serie di Taylor rispetto ad (e le sue derivate) è un operatore lineare ellittico. In generale, sia un operatore differenziale generico (non lineare) definito su un fibrato vettoriale. L'operatore .

mnémotechnique, principe Pierre Hérigone en 1634 Ce Français publie un ingénieux système pour mémoriser les nombres en passant par des mots: Les chiffres sont remplacés par des consonnes entre lesquelles on ajoute des voyelles pour formuler des mots du vocabulaire courant. Système vite adopté par de nombreux experts, dont Leibniz. Lewis Carroll Il publie un travail sur le sujet, comprenant la mémorisation de (Pi) avec 71 décimales et encore le logarithme de tous les nombres premiers inférieurs à 100. Même si ce système mnémotechnique semble encore contraignant, on n'a pas encore découvert de meilleure méthode. Anglo-saxons Le système est baptisé: The major system, The phonetic system, or The phonetic mnemonic system. Les anglo-saxons disent que: ce système a été conçu par Stanislaus Mink von Wennsshein et développé plus tard par le Dr.

Feynman’s Ratchet and the perpetual motion gambling scheme « Gravity and Levity Can you spot a perpetual motion machine when you see one? In physics, that question is equivalent to “can you spot a scam when you see one?”. That’s because a perpetual motion machine is, by definition, a fraud. So if you (portrayed below by Lisa Simpson) submit an idea or invention to the physics community (portrayed by Homer Simpson) that violates one of the laws of thermodynamics, you’re opening yourself up to a world of ridicule. If someone tells you “what you’re proposing is a perpetual motion machine” (they’ll say perpetuum mobile if they’re trying to sound snooty), they might as well be saying “you couldn’t tell a Lagrangian from a lawnmower”. In my experience, though, most physics students have a false sense of confidence in their own ability to spot a perpetual motion machine. The truth, however, is that most perpetual motion machines that you are likely to encounter do not violate energy conservation. It is impossible to profit, in the long run, from a truly random process.

Thermal conduction Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic diffusion and collisions of particles or quasi-particles within a body due to a temperature gradient. The microscopically diffusing and colliding objects include molecules, electrons, atoms, and phonons. They transfer disorganized microscopic kinetic and potential energy, which are jointly known as internal energy. Conduction can only take place within an object or material, or between two objects that are in direct or indirect contact with each other. Whether by conduction or by thermal radiation, heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body. In conduction, the heat flow is within and through the body itself. In the engineering sciences, heat transfer includes the processes of thermal radiation, convection, and sometimes mass transfer. Overview[edit] Fluids (and especially gases) are less conductive. Steady-state conduction[edit] Transient conduction[edit] Relativistic conduction[edit] .

010 Memorizer - Memorizing Numbers with Ease The Phonetic System (Major System) The Phonetic System is used to convert between numbers and words. This system is sometimes called the 'Major System' and was devised by Stanislaus Mink von Wennsshein in the seventeenth century. For example, let's say that you're trying to remember that there are usually 27 bones in an adult human hand. Now how did you know that N represents 2 and K represents 7? The constants 'h' and 'w' do not appear in the list. If you have longer numbers, they can be remembered by putting multiple words together to form a phrase. Converting Numbers to Words The process of converting between numbers and words can be done by hand if the numbers are small. 010 Memorizer has an easy-to-use interface for converting between numbers and words. Making Associations Once you have selected a word or phrase that represents your number, the last step is to make an association between the words you selected and what you are trying to remember.

Advantages of taking IQ tests for the high range Reasons to take high-range I.Q. tests The following are good and valid reasons why people take high-range tests: For enjoyment, similar to that derived from completing crosswords or other puzzles;To contribute to the study of high intelligence, creativity, and genius, which is the most important line of study possible (one contributes by taking the tests and providing the requested information);To gain insight into one's level and profile in mental ability (and disability);To get to know other highly intelligent persons through societies that accept certain scores for admission;To gain access to publication fora of societies that accept certain scores for admission;Out of interest in high-range testing as a form of psychometry;As a cure for megalomania. It is hoped that more advantages will be offered in the future as the world of high I.Q. societies matures, and learns to develop more effective programmes for self-improvement in the realms of study, work, therapy and contact.

Brain Workshop - a Dual N-Back game Vegetatives Nervensystem Von Dr. med. Felicitas Witte © PhotoDisc Selbständige Schaltzentrale Das vegetative Nervensystem (VNS, autonomes Nervensystem) steuert viele lebenswichtige Körperfunktionen. Beim morgendlichen Aufstehen schickt das vegetative Nervensystem beispielsweise umgehend ein Signal, um den Blutdruck zu erhöhen und das Schwindelgefühl zu vermeiden. Nach dem Verlauf der Nervenstränge und ihrer Funktion unterscheiden Mediziner drei Teile des vegetativen Nervensystems: Sympathikus, Parasympathikus, Eingeweidenervensystem (enterisches Nervensystem); Die Nervenbahnen des Sympathikus und Parasympathikus führen vom zentralen Nervensystem (ZNS = Gehirn und Rückenmark) aus zu den Organen. Sympathikus - Kämpfen und Flüchten Der Sympathikus bereitet den Organismus auf körperliche und geistige Leistungen vor. Die ersten Nervenzellen des Sympathikus liegen im Rückenmark. Nerven leiten elektrische Impulse. Parasympathikus - Ruhen und Verdauen Gegenspieler im Körper Eingeweidenervensystem Head-Zonen
