Entropy of a Gas Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the energy and work of a system. In aerodynamics, we are most interested in thermodynamics in the study of propulsion systems and understanding high speed flows. The first law of thermodynamics indicates that the total energy of a system is conserved. Entropy, like temperature and pressure, can be explained on both a macro scale and a micro scale. delta S = delta Q / T During a thermodynamic process, the temperature T of an object changes as heat Q is applied or extracted. dS = dQ / T The change in entropy is then the inverse of the temperature integrated over the change in heat transfer. dE = dQ - dW where E is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system. dQ = dE + p dV where p is the pressure and V is the volume of the gas. H = E + p * V Then: dH = dE + p dV + V dp Substitute into the first law equation: dQ = dH - V dp - p dV + p dV dQ = dH - V dp is an alternate way to present the first law of thermodynamics. p * V = R * T and

Remember, just because you are not attracted to your boyfriend, doesn’t mean you can’t attempt to be friends with him! Does every, single, small, tiny thing that he does get on your nerves? Why did you think that your boyfriend was attractive in the first place? Girls, it’s normal for you to check out other guys and compare, but just a little bit.

THE BRAIN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM Sexual reproduction in human beings is made possible by the fusion of two reproductive cells, or “gametes”—the ovum from the mother and the sperm cell from the father. This fusion results in the formation of a zygote with 46 chromosomes: half from the mother and half from the father. The zygote thus acquires a unique genetic identity, so that it is far more accurate to speak of the sex act as one of procreation (the creation of a new being) rather than one of reproduction, which would imply simply producing the same thing over again. One day after fertilization, the zygote begins a series of mitotic divisions in which the considerable volume of cytoplasm from the ovum is divided among the multiple daughter cells. Hence, during these first cell divisions, the zygote, now called an embryo, does not grow in size but does move successively through the stages where it is composed of 2, 4, 8, and then 16 cells, called blastomeres.

25 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Get Married Millions of divorces take place all around the world every year. Many of them happen because one of the partners has changed significantly. Some of them happen because of the chronic cheating habits of either partner. But most of them happen because they were not in the right marriage to begin with. Those marriages took place because the partners didn’t (or couldn’t) give as much thought to their decision (of getting married) as they should have. They didn’t ask the right questions. They weren’t ready for the right evaluations (of themselves and their partners) and couldn’t anticipate the profound change that marriage would bring to their lives.Are you thinking of getting married? If not, here are the six crucial questions that you must ask yourselves before you pop the question. While there are many more factors specific to your relationship which you can (and should) take into account, make sure you don’t miss out on these questions . 1. Why this person, why right now? 2. 3. 4. 5. Debt. 6.
A Bite of Buddhism The four sublime mental states are qualities of mind that we cultivate in order to alleviate the suffering we experience in everyday life and to feel more connected to others—and the worries and fears we all share. In the language of the Buddha (Pali), they are called the brahma viharas , which means "the dwelling place of awakened beings." The good news for us unawakened beings is that it's easy to begin cultivating the brahma viharas . Indeed, they are an integral part of other religious, spiritual, and humanistic traditions. I present them here with a distinctly Buddhist "flavor." Metta . I like to think of metta as the simple act of well-wishing. Sylvia once said that she practices metta by just looking at a person and silently saying, "I love you." Karuna . The Vietnamese Zen master, Thich Nhat Hanh, helped me learn to cultivate compassion for myself. Mudita . Just as metta is an antidote for our judgmental tendencies, mudita is the perfect antidote for envy. Upekkha .
Imitation One of my favorite salad combinations are usually those that involve a good dosage of avocado, and cooked shellfish (lobster, shrimp, crabmeat). I played with the actual shape and textured skin of the avocado and brought that into consideration when I was making this avocado salad. Its not hard at all, and its perfect to surprise your guests with. If they don’t like it, a surprised reaction of “WTF” will at least register in their minds. Better to have a strong reaction to something than no reaction at all. Ingredients for salad; lime, garlic, cilantro, crab leg meat pulled out, sprouts, dried cranberries, red onion for some color. This is how your salad should look like once its mixed up. Do you think we’re done? Mash avocado, and spread it on top of clear wrap. Place it inside where you carved out your avocado. Crust flavorings; red peppercorn, dried edamame, wasabe sesami seeds, black sesame seeds, sunflower seeds. Grind them all together.
Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No... #random but #inspirational by @koqoo #kkoolook series by @koqoo Drunk-O-Vision Reveals Why Drunk People Do Stupid Stuff 56K views 171 days ago by Lina Things look a little different when you’re drunk. Luckily, College Humor has come up with a helpful guide to help us understand how alcohol affects the brain and makes it think that whatever it’s doing is a great idea. The images are simple – the one on the left is the sober and often less-than-glorious reality of what’s happening, and the right shows the drunken reasoning we adopt when making poor decisions. Who hasn’t sent a regretful text or spent just a little bit too much money while out painting the town red? Alcohol has been fairly controversial in modern society.

Looking At Tears Under A Microscope Reveals An Amazing Fact One day Rose-Lynn Fisher wondered if her tears of grief would look different compared to her tears of joy, so she began to explore them up close under a microscope. She studied 100 different tears and found that basal tears (the ones that our body produces to lubricate our eyes) are drastically different from the tears that happen when we are chopping onions. The tears that come about from hard laughter aren’t even close to the tears of sorrow. Like a drop of ocean water each tiny tear drop carries a microcosm of human experience. Her project is called The Topography of Tears. Tears from laughing until crying Tears of change Tears of possibility and hope Tears of grief Tears from onions Joseph Stromberg of the Smithsonian’s Collage of Arts and Sciences explained that there are three major types of tears: basal, reflex, and psychic (triggered by emotions). Basal tears Tears of timeless reunion Tears of ending and beginning Tears of release Tears of elation at a liminal moment Tears of remembrance
