    1. Sedimentary rock and the processes that create it, which include weathering, erosion, and lithification, are an integral part of understanding Earth Science. This is because the majority of the Earth’s surface is made up of sedimentary rocks and their common predecessor, sediments. Even though sedimentary rocks can form in drastically different ways, their origin and creation have one thing in common, water.
    1. For functionalists, the family creates well-integrated members of society and instills culture into the new members of society. It provides important ascribed statuses such as social class and ethnicity to new members. It is responsible for social replacement by reproducing new members, to replace its dying members. Further, the family gives individuals property rights and also affords the assignment and maintenance of kinship order. Lastly, families offer material and emotional security and provides care and support for the individuals who need care.

      F: why familys are important

    2. complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability

      structural functionalism

    1. A “conjugal” family includes only a husband, a wife, and unmarried children who are not of age. In sociological literature, the most common form of this family is often referred to as a nuclear family. In contrast, a “consanguineal” family consists of a parent, his or her children, and other relatives.

      conjugal: husband wife and unmarried children consanguineal" single parent, their chilren, possible relatives

    1. 443. InChI OER. R.E. Belford, J. Cuadros, A.P. Cornell, T. Gupta, E.C. Bucholtz

      Abstract: This poster will describe an Open Education Resource, the InChI OER (https://www.inchi-trust.org/oer/), designed to help chemists, educators and students find information on, and applications of, the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI). InChI is a machine readable semantic identifier based on layered line notation for the representation of chemical structure, which with the InChI key represents a new digital nomenclature enabling a wide variety of 21st century semantic web applications and activities that support the practice of chemistry.

      We will present OER content within the Intercollegiate Cheminformatics section of the LibreTexts hyperlibrary on the use of both InChI and the InChI OER, along with an overview of the working groups of the InChI subcommittee of IUPAC Division VIII; Chemical Nomenclature and Structure Representation.

      Although this poster will cover the InChI line notation and the use of the InChI OER to obtain resources on InChI, our goal is to elicit discussion on the evolution of the practice of an empirical science like chemistry, and the role data science should play in the traditional undergraduate curriculum

    1. Overall, oxides of transition metals with the lowest oxidation states are basic (and react with acids)

      A lewis acid?

    2. amphoteric

      (of a compound, especially a metal oxide or hydroxide) able to react both as a base and as an acid.

    1. 4−|19−3(6−2)|24−|19−3(6−2)|\mathrm{24−|19−3(6−2)|}.

      all three examples are exactly the same, just with numbers changed. We should probably restructure them a bit to get some variety.

    2. hen we use the order of operations

      Where did we talk about order of operations?

    3. |−5|__−|−5||−5|__−|−5|\mathrm{|-5|}\_\_\mathrm{-|-5|} 8__−|−8|8__−|−8|\text{8__−|−8|} −9__−|−9|−9__−|−9|\text{−9__−|−9|} −(−16)__|−16|−(−16)__|−16|\text{−(−16)__|−16|}.

      The underlines are somewhat visually confusing with the negatives. Any chance we could do boxes instead?

      Also, we should probably do a couple of warm up problems where they compute the absolute values of a few things

    4. on the number line, the negative numbers are a mirror image of the positive numbers, with zero in the middle. Because the numbers 222 and −2−2−2 are the same distance from zero, each one is called the opposite of the other. The opposite of 222 is −2−2−2, and the opposite of −2−2−2 is 222.

      Do we want to discuss this earlier?

    5. next section

      could add hyperlink to "next section"

    6. Say you have one slice of pizza and eat friend eats 2 slices. How many friends can you feed? You can feed half of a friend. In math this would look like this 1212\frac{1}{2}.

      I like this a lot

    7. For multiplication and division of two signed numbers: Same signs Result • Two positives Positive • Two negatives Positive If the signs are the same, the result is positive. Different signs Result • Positive and negative Negative • Negative and positive Negative If the signs are different, the result is negative.

      could create punnett square style table using LaTeX; it'd be more succinct

    8. 2÷2=2÷2=2\div 2= 30÷6=30÷6=30\div 6= −27÷9=−27÷9=-27\div 9= −16÷−8=−16÷−8=-16\div -8= 648÷54=

      word based problems?

    9. How many of your friends can you feed with that pizza? This question is asking to divide 8 (slices of pizza) by 2 (the amount of slices each friend will eat). So 8÷2=48÷2=48\div 2=4, you will be able to feed 4 friends with 1 pizza. We call the result of division, the "quotient". For example, the quotient of 8 by 2 is 4.

      we can definitely add some illustrations throughout these paragraphs to avoid the "text walls"

    10. 1⋅21⋅21\cdot 2 5⋅65⋅65\cdot 6 3⋅93⋅93\cdot 9 12⋅54

      include some word problems like "find the product of 3 and 5"?

    11. e see that the action of adding 2 to 1 to get 3 can be "undone" by subtracting 2 from

      maybe throw in a comment that operations that "undo" each other are called "inverses"?

    12. On a number line,

      Describe how negative numbers appear on the number line; mention that smaller numbers are always on the left, and larger numbers are always on the right

    13. integers, ZZ\mathbb{Z}, by

      Do we want to include the "math" notation? Also might be worth adding a description in words here, such as "the integers include the negative and positive versions of the natural numbers"

      Also, formatting, should italicize words we are defining

    1. stereoformula

      A stereoformula is a three-dimensional formula in which the absolute configuration at chiral centers, if any, are unequivocally shown.

    1. Qualitative sociology generally opts for depth over breadth. The qualitative approach uses in-depth interviews, focus groups, or the analysis of content sources (books, magazines, journals, TV shows, etc.) as data sources. These sources are then analyzed systematically to discern patterns and to arrive at a better understanding of human behavior.

      Qualitative

      Quantitative

    1. Because of these discrepancies, the International Mineralogical Association in 1985 amended the definition to: “A mineral is an element or chemical compound that is normally crystalline and that has been formed as a result of geological processes.”
    2. Calcite is quite often formed by organic processes but is considered a mineral because it is widely found and geologically important.
    3. water and mercury are liquid at room temperature. Both are considered minerals because they were classified before the room-temperature rule was accepted as part of the definition
    4. the classic definition of a mineral is: Naturally occurring Inorganic Solid at room temperature Regular crystal structure Defined chemical composition
    1. metamorphic (rocks produced by alteration of other rocks by heat and pressure.
    2. sedimentary (rocks made of products of mechanical weathering (sand, gravel, etc.)

    6. Which tectonic setting places the asthenosphere farthest from the surface?

    7. Which plate boundary has the largest and deepest earthquakes?

      Subduction

    1. Why did Alfred Wegener never get the support of the scientific community for his hypothesis of continental drift during his lifetime? He could not provide a mechanism for how continents moved.

    2. We are not able to get rocks from deep within the Earth. What is the most direct source of information that allows us to draw conclusions about the interior? Seismic waves

    3. Of these, what boundary generally produces new liquid magma? Subduction

    4. Why are there not as many earthquakes or volcanoes on the east coast of North America as the west coast of North America? It is not close to a plate boundary (passive margin).

    1. Claims Asserts Relates Recounts Complains Reasons Proposes Suggests (if the author is speculating or hypothesizing) Contests (disagrees) Concludes Shows Argues Explains Indicates Points out Offers

      This is perfect for me

    2. find balance in your use of sources

      sometimes you cite sources to support claim, sometimes you use personal experience and interpretation

    1. This describes a design architecture for an electronic digital computer with subdivisions of a processing unit consisting of an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers, a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter, a memory to store both data and instructions, external mass storage, and input and output mechanisms.[3]

      what?

    1. We can begin by considering the point about neutrality. While Utilitarians will count this as a strength of their theory, it can also be considered a weakness of the theory. In considering everyone equally, Utilitarianism devalues the importance of personal relationships. In some cases, following Utilitarianism will force us to disregard those who are close to us.

      To disregard the interests, feelings, and desires of these individuals seems to be wrong.

    1. Although water makes up the largest percentage of body volume, it is not actually pure water but rather a mixture of cells, proteins, glucose, lipoproteins, electrolytes, and other substances

      compo

    1. personal to us or taboo in a relationship

      taboo drives things to subtext and internalization

    2. they’re fighting battles that have far more to do with the past than the present. Without even realizing it, each person may have an issue from their past that since it has yet to be resolved

      would suggest an alternate order, this should be presented after "failure to stick to the issues" better context. Unresolved issues typically come up ater other issues

    1. as a result of personality differences between two people.

      rather vague, but will interpret it as feeling of "this town ain't big enough for the two of us"

    2. conflict occurs where no conflict actually exists.

      somewhat paradoxical; resolved when you consider that conflicts sometimes occur due to perceived disagreement

    3. hen there is a communication breakdown between the sender and receiver.

      definition of psuedo conflict

    4. substantive topics of a social, political, or economic nature.

      definition of simple conflict

    1. ntra-psychic, interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup, intra-national, and international

      levels of conflic

    2. difference over goals objectives, or expectations

      causes of the states of opposition, disagreement, or incompatibility

    3. persons or ideas or interests.

      subjects who can engage in conflict

    4. the three states that can define conflict are opposition, incompatibility, or disagreement

    1. capture insects and extract the nitrogen from their bodies. Bogs have low net primary productivity because the water found in bogs has low levels of nitrogen and oxygen.

      Should there be a subsection here about different types of wetlands? Marsh, swamp, bog, fen, etc all have different hydrology and vegetation that could be good to cover.

    1. deciduous trees are the dominant plant in this biome

      Might also be worth mentioning that most of the plant biodiversity in these systems is found in the understory (especially the herbaceous layer)

    2. grasses.

      Could also be worth mentioning how endangered this biome type is, and how many temperate grasslands have been lost to agriculture/other land-use change.

    3. decay.

      Somewhere in this chapter (perhaps here?) it would be good to mention that grasslands are great for carbon sequestration because of this ability for store carbon below ground. A lot of people seem not to be aware of this and it translates to bad management choices like planting trees in grassland habitats.

    1. A dialogue with your friends, for example, may be far different from one with your family. These relationships can influence tone of voice

      This is very true.

    2. Freytag's Pyramid: Chronological

      I've never heard of this pyramid before. Could be a good tool to try and use.

    3. I often think about narrative scope as the edges of a photograph:

      I did not think of it this way.

    4. imagery to help the reader picture the setting in their mind.

      This usually helps remember what I read as well as it mentions "picture the setting in their mind."

    5. reative nonfiction is, by definition, true

      saying nonfiction story is true

    6. Climax: This is the peak of the action

      This is my favorite part when reading or watching.

    7. ragged bursts, my quadriceps burning as I crested the summit

      Great descriptions and details. I love it!

    8. I include pacing with sequence because a change to one often influences the other.

      I also have never heard about this in reading or writing. This is a new term for me.

    9. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?" and want to continue reading.

      Very important, in doing this all readers wont want to stop reading.

    10. Freytag's Pyramid: Chronological

      How long has this pyramid been around? I have never previously heard about it or have seen it before in classes.

    11. The term scope refers to the boundaries of plot

      I did not know this was what scope refers to and how it is described.

    12. painting a picture in the reader's mind

      I think it is important to piant a picture in the reader's head.

    13. if it is dropped, or squelching if it is squished underfoot

      I never thought to describe a fruit in this way, I would think to say yellow and sour, but I think describing how it would be once smashes is great.

    1. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change).

      Basically there is energy already required to have the substance change phases so it is taken that there is no apparent change in temperature since the heat so transfered is working on changing the bonds of the place. However when the phase change is complete (say the ice has completed melted) then next the temperature will change. it is basically all about where one should allocate the resources available (here: the transferable energy)

    1. wind seized our breath

      I like this description made!

    2. anthropomorphized

      I haven't heard of this word ever before.

      I always forget which is true and which is made up.

    1. The mapping w=ezw=ezw = e^z. Here we present a series of plots showing how the exponential function maps zzz to www.

      Notice how this is the same as the control systems concept of mapping poles and zeros in the s-plane (figure on the left) and z-plane( the circle.. fig on the right)

    1. apparatus

      Used when referring to someone or something

    2. Barnlund’s (2008) transactional model of communication

      "Ongoing, circular process."

      Includes the encoding and decoding process, the communicator, the message, channel, and noise.

    3. first theoretical model of communication was proposed in 1949 by Shannon and Weaver for Bell Laboratories

      Intended for radio and television transmission process

      The linear model of communication has 3 parts: Sender, Channel and Receiver

    1. It is indicated on a Jablonski diagram as a straight line going down on the energy axis between electronic states. Fluorescence is a slow process on the order of 10-9 to 10-7 seconds; therefore, it is not a very likely path for an electron to dissipate energy especially at electronic energy states higher than the first excited state

      good

    1. short distances

      What is the distance being compared to?

    2. because the inside grows at a faster rate than the outside

      Less nutrients are absorbed because diffusion no longer works.

    3. surface to volume ratio

    1. only the head and shoulders) is exposed to direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day (i.e., midday)

      this is the thermoregulation hypothesis of bipedal adaptation (only head and shoulders)

    1. thicker dental enamel.

      huh?

    2. maller mouths and faces

      smaller face makes room for a larger brain (primary masticory organ bc created tools for processing food like fire, grinders, weapons for hunting, knives for chopping into fine pieces)

    1. the number of levels of an independent variable is the number of experimental conditions.

      the levels of independent variables varies on how many experimental condition were given

    1. Write the standard form of the equation of the ellipsoid centered at the origin that passes through points 𝐴(2,0,0),𝐵(0,0,1),A(2,0,0),B(0,0,1), A(2,0,0),\, B(0,0,1), and 𝐶(12,11‾‾‾√,12)

      How do you do this?

    1. diastereomer stereoisomers to occur, a compound must have two or more stereocenters

      Diasteromer has to have two centers

    1. When a solvent with a gas dissolved in it is heated, the kinetic energy of both the solvent and solute increases. As the kinetic energy of the gaseous solute increases, its molecules have a greater tendency to escape the attraction of the solvent molecules and return back to the gas phase.

      When lines "go down", or solubility decreases as temperature increases, the substance is a gas over the temperature range.

      Heat increase -> Kinetic energy increase of gas particles -> greater tendency to escape the solvent and become independent particles again

    2. Figure 7.7.4

      The flatter the line, the less temperature affects the solubility of the substance, like NaCl

    3. Table 7.7.2

      Higher numerical solubility value means that more of the solute is required to saturate the solvent. It means the substance is "less effective" at saturating the solvent

    1. Are supporters of reproductive justice always pro-choice?

      I feel like that’s the case with anything just because somebody likes this doesn’t mean they are always interested in another

    2. ambiguity--the many possible meanings of some part of the argument.

      I never understood the word ambiguity before know and it helps me grasp tons on concepts from before now

    3. Since our goal in an assessment is to decide how effective we think the argument will be at getting its point across, any charge of vagueness implies some failure to communicate that point. This becomes a critique

      This is hard for me not to do a lot of the times especially for how long most of the writings have to be

    4. ambiguity--the many possible meanings of some part of the argument.

      I’ve never heard of that word before that’s something new and great to add to my diction

    1. Approximate Solution After Shifting Starting Concentration

      substituting known compounds into the formula and then approximating the answer by moving around the variables, then getting the percent by multiplying by a hundred. DONT FORGET TO RAISE THE EXPRESSION BY THE NUMBER OF MOLES.

    2. Calculation of an Equilibrium Constant

      general method of creating an ICE table. we can move this around accordingly, but make sure that i include all the correct numbers, i could also solve for any number that can be easily given.

    1. An analysis of the business and brand environment will typically consider political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental (PESTLE) influences to identify a clear set of considerations or issues pertinent to the marketing strategy.

      Environment as a factor for situational analysis considers PESTLE, which again includes environmental influences, which seems redundant unless environmental influence refers to the earth’s environmental factors.

    1. The original argument does not mention any of these exceptions.  By pointing this out, we can show that the argument as expressed is invalid.

      Wow that’s crazy I’ve never really thought about how vague the constitution is in the prospective of how you put it.

    2. Arguments that start with a generalization and then apply it to specific cases are known as deductive arguments.  Those that use specific examples to arrive at a general conclusion are known as inductive arguments.

      I never knew there was a terminology for these types of arguments that’s kind of cool to know

    1. Compensation refers to the typical manner in which a person seeks to overcome challenges. For example, if one breaks their arm, they learn to function with a cast, or if one loses their eyesight, they learn to use a cane or work with a seeing-eye dog (Dreikurs, 1950; Mosak & Maniacci, 1999).

      Is compensation the same as adapting? When we are faced with changes we learn to compensate or adapt in order to survive.

    1. personality can be viewed as the dynamic organization within an individual of various psychological factors that determines the person’s characteristic thoughts and behaviors.

      In this week's video assignment research overview paper Allport's definition of personality holds true but is also challenged by the cultural dynamics of acceptance based solely on the psychology of societal external images

    2. Is our personality inherited, or are we products of our environment? This is the classic debate on nature vs. nurture. Are we born with a given temperament, with a genetically determined style of interacting with others, certain abilities, with various behavioral patterns that we cannot even control? Or are we shaped by our experiences, by learning, thinking, and relating to others? Many psychologists today find this debate amusing, because no matter what area of psychology you study, the answer is typically both! We are born with a certain range of possibilities determined by our DNA. We can be a certain height, have a certain IQ, be shy or outgoing, we might be Black, Asian, White or Hispanic, etc. because of who we are genetically. However, the environment can have a profound effect on how our genetic make-up is realized. For example, an abused child may become shy and withdrawn, even though genetically they were inclined to be more outgoing. A child whose mother abused alcohol during the pregnancy may suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome, the leading cause of preventable mental retardation, even though the child was genetically endowed with the possibility of being a genius. So the best perspective may be that our genetic make-up provides a range of possibilities for our life, and the environment in which we grow determines where exactly we fall within that range.

      Our genetic make-up is pre-determined. Our external and even certain genetic mutations but the environment plays a huge role on how each of our personalities are shaped, validated, molded and how we perceive ourselves and accept ourselves.

    3. ach of us contains an inherent drive to be the best that we can be, and to accomplish all that we are capable of accomplishing. Rogers and Maslow called this drive self-actualization. Interestingly, this concept is actually thousands of years old, and having spent time in China, Rogers was well aware of Buddhist and Yogic perspectives on the self.

      Self-actualization believing in oneself and becoming our best is a process, but some people never have the opportunity to become their best due to culture, environment, upbringing and the lack of basic necessities.

    4. self-actualization.

      Self-actualization is a less animalistic approach than that of Freud's view of aggression but in order to become one's best self isn't the ability to protect oneself in order to accomplish certain successes in life necessary. Studies prove it is necessary.

    5. heories were based on individual case studies, and this critique is one that we will see several times in this book.

      Individual case studies assist in the theory of gathering constructs or concrete perspective of the whole

    6. persona

      Persona and the definition is one of the easiest descriptions to remember because our personalities are made up of several emotions and characteristics.

    1. ΔSsys=−qrevTsys

      this is losing heat, since the heat in reverse and does not go back to it's initial state that would mean it would be the same going forward and that would mean the system will have more entropy to give to the surrounding. so we add the minus here to indicate that this is just going to lose heat.

    2. ΔSuniv=ΔSsys+ΔSsurr

      the change in entropy of the universe is equal to the entropy inside of the system plus the entropy of the surrounding of the system.

    1. The spontaneous process whereby the gas contained initially in one flask expands to fill both flasks equally therefore yields an increase in entropy for the system.

      the process is described in a way that as the gas expanded to both containers, the level of energy used by the gas to do that was none. So that must mean that space that is being increased is the space that is occupied by the gas in however many systems. Is the meaning of entropy (S).

    2. ΩcΩa

      the final divided by the initial, how we get the final microstate is by exponentially multiplying the systems by the number of however many particles are in the system.

    3. ΔS=Sf−Si

      change in entropy is equal to the entropy at the end minus the entropy at the beginning. that can be calculated by the Boltzmann constant x the natural log of the final microstate divided by the initial microstate. (yes this can be mathematically be expanded and compressed)

    4. ΔS=qrevT

      the entropy is equal to the heat we can give back to the system to reverse it's reaction divided by the total Temp.

    1. From the perspective of this two-object system, there was no net gain or loss of thermal energy, rather the available thermal energy was redistributed among the two objects.

      no energy is being lost in the process of transferring the heat between both the systems in thermodynamics.

    2. −qX>0

      less than zero so it's colder.

    3. qX<0

      more than zero so it's hotter

    1. elemental

      It is proper to represent Hydrogen as H2 since it represents one molecule of hydrogen. It is two atoms that make one.

    2. diatomic

      molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. Two atoms chemically bonded.

    1. Summary

    2. Polyploidy is a condition in which a cell or organism has an extra set, or sets, of chromosomes. Scientists have identified two main types of polyploidy that can lead to reproductive isolation of an individual in the polyploidy state. Reproductive isolation is the inability to interbreed. In some cases, a polyploid individual will have two or more complete sets of chromosomes from its own species in a condition called autopolyploidy (Figure 6.5.76.5.7\PageIndex{7}). The prefix “auto-” means “self,” so the term means multiple chromosomes from one’s own species. Polyploidy results from an error in meiosis in which all of the chromosomes move into one cell instead of separating.

      I think this paragraph needs some reordering of sentences

    3. Scientists have documented numerous cases of allopatric speciation taking place. For example, along the west coast of the United States, two separate sub-species of spotted owls exist. The northern spotted owl has genetic and phenotypic differences from its close relative: the Mexican spotted owl, which lives in the south (Figure 6.5.46.5.4\PageIndex{4}).

      I think it'd be important to explain the geographic barrier that initiated this example of allopatric speciation.

    4. that interbreed

      actually or potentially can interbreed

    1. The Hardy-Weinberg principle assumes conditions with no mutations, migration, emigration, or selective pressure for or against genotype, plus an infinite population; while no population can satisfy those conditions, the principle offers a useful model against which to compare real population changes.

      random mating is also necessary

    2. , is called the founder effect. Natural selection, random drift, and founder effect

      I consider founder effects (and bottleneck effects) as specific examples of genetic drift.

    1. Here x is the size of the population at a given time, r is inherent per-capita growth rate, and K is the carrying capacity. At low population densities, x(t) is much smaller than K and so the main determinant for population growth is just the per capita growth rate. However, as N(t) a

      I think x should be replaced by N for the sake of consistency.

    1. by fighting for scarce resources.

      I think this should be slightly rephrased. Some plants are great examples of interference competition (e.g. allelopathy), and they do not "physically fight".
