When we see structures like DNA for example is it to be understood that if we had a microscope powerful enough to see detail at the level of a DNA molecule we would see the double helix structure? Or are our structures simply models to help explain experimental results? Either way, at what...

Homework Statement the question is in the picture. the rectangular steel bar shown supports a concentric load of 13000lbf. Both ends are fixed. If te modulus of elasticity is 29x10^6 lbf/in^2, what is the maximum length the rod can be without experiencing buckling failure? Homework...

Are there stress and strain graphs for different crystal structures?

Homework Statement Let n>1 be an integer, and let a be a fixed integer, prove or disprove that the set E will stand for is an element of H = {xEZ| ax = (mod n) is a subgroup under addition. The Attempt at a Solution I recognized that ax = a + a + a... + a. I figured this might help...

chemistry, how do i draw the lewis structures for these molecules? i have tried all sorts of ways but keep on geting stuck with atoms which i can't connect, don't have enough non paired valence electrons to join em all up H_{5}IO_{6} TeF_{6} IF_{7} SF_{4} BrCL_{3}

are these the correct lewis structures for these molecules?? http://picasaweb.google.com/devanlevin/DropBox?authkey=sbH95pBl_D8#5275619652409681410 also, if i have an ion for example Al^{3+} what is its lewis structure, this ion is like noble gas Ne as far as valent electrons, so is its...

I have a question regarding Cayley tables, specifically using the composition operator for this particular problem. I had to miss class the other week and was just now sitting down to catch up on my homework for this class when I was hit with the algebraic structures section. They have a...

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone could help me. With Lewis Structures and Valence electrons, do the valence electrons have to go in a certain order around the element symbol? ie: four dots around each side of carbon, or two on the left side and two on the right side? How would you do...

If M is a topological manifold, a smooth structure A (or maximal atlas) on M is a set of smoothly compatible charts of M that is maximal in the sense that if we consider any chart that is not in A, then there is some chart in A with whom it is not smoothly compatible. Now, it is a fact that...

Hey All.. I'm having some problems trying to understand the tetrahedral and octahedral sites in face centered cubic (fcc) and body centered cubic (bcc). It is hard to visualise the structures in 3D.. I wanted to know how to find out the positions per unit cell for the tetrahedral and...

Just wondering.

I'm reading my lectures on TBM and I don't understand the following thing: \omega(\overrightarrow k)=\omega_0-4t\cdot[\cos(k_xa/2)\cos(k_ya/2)+...] It's related to FCC structures, in which the number of Nearest Neighbors (Z) of an atom is equal to 12. Basically the three dots at the end...

Homework Statement Is there some sort of Latex that allows one to draw Lewis structures on the computer? The Attempt at a Solution The following code works in Textify: http://www.texify.com/links.php but not here, apparently. Anyway, I can make 1D Lewis structures (every element in a...

Homework Statement how would you draw this structure in 3d using dash-wedge representation? HN=C=CH2 From my guess, I drew the N=C=C as being parallel, and the two hydrogens coming off the second C without having any dashes or wedges, but curving at 120 degrees from the carbon. For the...

OK this is the first assignment I have in this class and I can't figure out how to negate and simplify the logical structure of W <--> S (bi-conditional implication) I got this so far: ~[(W --> S) ^ (S --> W)] by Definition ~(W --> S) v ~(S --> W) by DeMorgan's Law ~(~W v S) v ~(~S v W)...

Is it possible to form or "glue together" somehow a structure out of other (not necessarily identical to one another) structures such that each of the other structures is elementarily embeddable within the formed structure? With ultraproduct formulation and Los's theorem, it appears that only...

1. I need to be able to draw K C2H3O2 and any resonance structures. SO far I have drawn four and I can think of at least four more to draw... does anyone know if there are more than four and if so, could you please submit a pdf of the resonance structures?

Hello, The subject is disjoint set structures There's following pseudocode for merging sets, by representing every set as single rooted tree and merging is like merging trees. {h[] is array of heights of trees} Mege(a,b) if(h[a]==h[b]) set parent of b is a h[a]++...

Hello, can anyone help me out the the relationship of the atomic radius R with the lattice parameter a for a Hexagonal close packed cystals (HCP) and how to prove the ratio of a:C is 1.633. Any information on this issues would be appreciated. Thanks

So I’m trying to understand a bit more about the structure of the universe and I keep running across all these “if you think that’s strange wait until you hear this” moments and they almost always cause me an almost painful paradigm shift (without a clutch). Here is the latest. I was always...

I need advice with my "Discrete Structures" class Hi everyone, I'm a sophomore undergraduate student at the Polytechnic University Of Puerto Rico, currently majoring in "Computer Engineering", for the record this university works by trimesters. I'm currently getting a bit frustrated with my...

M\equiv N means M and N are elementarily equivalent, that is, for any setence S in the language of M and N, M\models S \Leftrightarrow N\models S. An elementary embedding f:M->N is a mapping f:|M|->|N| between the underlying sets such that, for any formula t(x) and matching tuple y of elements...

what is effective mass? and how does it effect both the electrical and optical properties of a crystaline structure?

Hi. I would be terribly grateful for your help. I am a second year student, and I am pretty sure I will major in Mathematics, and will probably (if I'm smart enough), do maths post-grad. I was looking through the faculty handbook, and saw that for 2nd year math they offered a module on...

Hello guys, I was wondering: say you have a structure: struct tag{ int a char b int b int c } how would you make int c equal to int a + int b for all variables of type struct tag? I have tried using pointers but it baffles me how you would make a global change in that all...

Has anyone here taken this class before? I've been in this class for two weeks, and I still can't get a feel for how difficult or time consuming it may be. My instructor keeps mentioning discrete mathematics (which I haven't taken), although it wasn't a prerequisite for the course. Additionally...

Does 'category theory' link different mathematical structures? Can you give a superficial example of how this has been done (eg. Name two mathematical structures and, with waving of hands, explain how they have been linked)? Could you direct me to a link where this has been done elegantly in...

The question/direction is to: "Draw the structure of the following compound!" 2-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)octane I tired several different ways of constructing this compound but the online homework program ACE Organic says that: I don't know what to do or what I am missing. If anyone can...

Another question: How do we define compatibility of atlases and a maximal atlas? why do we need to define them? How do we conclude for example sphere and circle have 1 differential structure? ( I said "another question but it turn out to be questions")

Hi all, Recently got to thinking about electrostatics and electron densities and band structures. If you have an electrostatically charged piece of material, say for example, a metal, does the density of states of that metal change because of the depletion of electrons? Alternately, if...

Is there any way to predict what crystal structure a pure metal element will be? It seems that the simple 'electron sea' idea does not explain a lot of things. Thanks -scott
