An airport. A plane to catch. A magazine with an eye-catching cover. A quick flip through the pages then off to the plane. All the elements were there for a deep and critical understanding of the role of antimatter in the formation of the Universe. Or not. The facts as told by the journalist...

I will be applying to architecture schools and I will need to take the appropriate physics course. Should I go for physics that utilizes algebra or that which employs calculus?

Can anyone recommend a good and reliable online resource on this subject area? One which explains areas like registers, bus & c.p.u etc other than the sometimes unreliable wikipedia.

I have a set of questions that won't be graded, but that my prof. wants us to look into/review. I've figured most of them out but the following have given me some issues. Any help would be appreciated. I don't mind getting the answers but a brief explanation would be best. Thanks! 1) The AVR...

Homework Statement 1. A man bought a computer and when he booted it up he realized that the OS is not loading into RAM. Can you suggest what could be wrong with the computer? (Yes, the computer was plugged into the outlet and the power was turned on.) 2. Describe the process by which the...

I have read quite a few sources about the differences between them but i'm, still in a dilema. Which subject is more related to house building and structure, i know civil engineer goes way beyond houses, to huge structures etc. But can one still do a degree in architecture and be licensed to...

why is x86 called "otherwise disastrous X86 architecture" and doex x64 improve? why is x86 called "otherwise disastrous X86 architecture" and doex x64 improve? for example, http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/12/01/floating-point-bugs-explode but i have heard many claims...

i am a total newbie here...i understand basic principles like supercooling, phase change, etc, but otherwise a total dummy, i have equivalent to 1st yr university in chem, but that was a long, long time ago. so go easy on me. i am trying to find out the difference btwn sodium acetate...

As I understand it: In a regular cylindercal soleniod the winding starts at one point(top) and winds down to the other side(bottom) of a cylindercal core. Once the wind reaches the bottom, the wire returns back to the top and so forth, until the desired winding is achieved, let's say 10 layers...

Sorry, I lost it. I really thought there was a connention somewhere, though. :frown:

hey I have some computer architecture questions that are freaking me out: 1) what are the disadvantages and advantages of having larger cell sizes for main memory? i said an advantage would be that we could store larger binary digits but a disadvantage would be that we would have fewer cells...

I need some help with the PIC (PIC16F84) architecture. I am suppose to write timing diagram, including values of the PC (program counter), for the following instruction sequence when (a) the BTFSC (bit test register f, skip if set) instruction results in a skip and (b) when it does not...

Hello. I need some help with this question involving Pipelines. Any help would definatley be appreciative. Why is the PC (Program Counter) is incremented by 4 for a superscalar pipeline which executes TWO instructions at a time Thanks in Advance!

A building with air capacity of 100,000 m3 is heated to 20oC on a winter day of -10oC. During a summer day of 40oC it is cooled to 25oC. Assuming the building is airtight and rigid, and with standard pressure outside, what is its difference in weight between these two days?
