Numbers are names too

Numbers are names too In my last entry, Jonathan Foley asked an interesting set of questions: What is up with the whole abstract course nomenclature? Im sure this is great for MITers, but it seems rather arcane to the outside world. Why not call Course 9 Biology? Why not go the full distance and dispell with names, each student can be RFID tagged? I know he was mostly kidding, but since we do have a lot of numbering systems at MIT, and since they make no sense to anyone whos not here, I decided to ramble at some length about them today. Confession: I am actually talking about the numbering system because Campus Preview Weekend is coming up soon. I love CPW, and this year I signed up both to host a prefrosh (it could be you! if youre a girl) and to lead a tour of my UROP lab. But the one thing I really dont like about CPW is that I suddenly have to convert to telling people my major in words instead of numbers, and I always say the words too fast and people cant understand me and I have to repeat myself and I dont like it. (You try saying biology and brain and cognitive sciences five times fast.) So Im going to teach you the numbering system, and youre going to come to CPW and already know the numbers, and I wont have to look like an idiot. Everybody wins! Course numbers. Every major at MIT is assigned a unique identifier. Most commonly, this is a number, but a few departments have letter names or letter modifiers. Students at MIT almost exclusively refer to their majors by number unless they are talking to someone whom they suspect does not know the numbering system. I made a super-handy chart listing all the department numbers and all the sub-department majors, including the number of people who were awarded a degree in that major/sub-major in 2005. (Yes, I made it in Word. Yes, I do know how to write HTML, more or less, but I didnt feel like it.) FYI, undesignated sort of means same degree, fewer classes many people, for example, pick up an undesignated major as a second major. The actual number assigned to each department is a matter of historical contingency, and doesnt relate to the content of the department or the time period it was originally formed. In that sense, then, Jonathans right biology could just as easily have been course 44 rather than course 7. The numbers are pretty arbitrary. I would note, however, that doesnt mean theyre stupid after all, the actual words given to nouns in spoken languages are also a matter of historical contingency and arbitrary assignment (we call it biology because the ancient Greeks used the root bio to refer to living things, but they could just as easily have used something else). So, arbitrary, yes. But its the system we use, and its a pretty effective shibboleth, if I do say so myself. Other Questions. 1. M commented, 4 classes per semester It does not look strikingly difficult to me, but maybe because I havent had any experience with psets. It is a little harder than it looks. :) Each unit is supposed to be equivalent to one hour per week, so a typical 48-unit schedule is designed to take up almost 50 hours a week between class, lab, and homework. 2. M also asked, Mollie, Im doing the IB course with HL Math, Chem ang Bio. Say if I get admitted to MIT, I will probably have covered classes like introductory statistics. Can I get credit for those classes and bypass them? My teacher says if Im going to schools like MIT, I should probably not bypass any classes, especially if that class is lab-based. What do you think? Julie answered for me: And your teacher is right: unless the MIT class offers an advanced-standing exam and you pass out of it, its better that you take the class again at MIT. MIT usually does not offer credit for classes taken elsewhere, and for good reason: MIT classes are extremely demanding and often are not matched in rigor and content by other institutions. Ill add a few things. First, the classes youd take in high school might not be equivalent in subject matter (not just difficulty, but actual subject matter theyre different) to the courses at MIT. In my statistics class (9.07), we spent a lot of time on tests like ANOVAs, t-tests, and F-tests. In Adams statistics class (6.041), they spent a lot more time on really obscure probability and assumed strong familiarity with multivariable calculus. Its unlikely that a high school course would cover both those ends of statistics with enough depth for you to test out. Second, advanced standing exams are usually available for a limited set of classes, so not all classes can be tested out of. Youll get a better idea once youre here, particularly if you speak to the undergraduate coordinator of your intended department. 3. Dan asked, Whats the difference between organic chemistry, molecular biology, and biochemistry? They all sound so darn similar. I may sound dumb to some people for asking this, but who cares, right? And Jonathan Foley answered, They can be organized in terms of content and abstractness. Organic Chemistry deals with the chemistry of carbon containing molecules. While some focus on biologically relevant reactions, it principly the study of a class of chemistries rather than biology. Biochemistry deals with chemical processes ocuring in living things (i.e. catalyzed by enzymes) like the reactions of metabolism; biochemists break down biological pathways to chemistry that is actually occuring in a particular process (eg. what amino acid residues in the active site of an enzyme catalyze a given reaction). Molecular biology typically looks at biological pathways from the macromolecule level (proteins, DNA, RNA), typically central molecular processes such as transcription, translation, cell cycleetc. In other words: Organic chemistry is chemistry, biochemistry is chemistry that pertains to biolgy, molecular biology is molecular scale biology. (Hey, do you guys want my paycheck for the week? What am I doing over here?) Ill merely add that Ill buy Jonathans description, and that its amazing how much detail its possible to use when learning material in upper-level courses. I went into 7.23 (Immunology) thinking, Man, what is this class going to be about? Ive learned about antibodies and B cells and T cells a zillion times in other biology classes. I just dont know what else there is to learn! And, um, whoa buddy, was I wrong. FYI: Immunology is really complicated. 4. Lizzy asked, So you said you had two professors e-mail you backhow did you turn down the one whose lab you didnt join? (I know my question sounds silly, but Im first afraid that if I try to get a position, no one will want meand second, that if I get any positions, Ill get more than one and I wont know how to respond to the labs I dont join.) Another question are there UROPs at the other biomedical research places in Cambridge, such as Broad and Whitehead? And finally, how does your boyfriend know the skiiers? (*is jealous that he does*) First, yes, there are UROPs at Whitehead (none at Broad that I know of, because the new building isnt done yet!). You just have to find an MIT faculty supervisor to get funding from the UROP office, and Whitehead faculty have appointments in the department of biology. Second, professors are usually pretty relaxed about getting new UROPs I dont think anybody would be offended if you got two offers and picked the other guy. After all, most of the professors are pretty good friends with each other. Personally, I think I just emailed the other professor and said I had taken the job in Morgans lab. The other prof, Yasunori, is on the same floor as my lab, and he still says hi to me in the halls, so I dont think he was too broken up over it! Third, Adam knows most of the US ski team because hes a nationally-ranked freestyle skiier, and hes gone to camps and competitions with all of those guys since they were little. (Hes probably going to Nationals again this year, which is over our spring break! Yay!) Im trying to twist his arm to get him to introduce me to the Flying Tomato, but so far no luck. 5. Wenhao Sun asked about the weather. Seriously though, how cold is it really? Ive heard people say its really really really cold, Ive heard that its just cold enough to complain, and Ive heard that its cool and breezy (but I heard that from a friend from Wisconsin, so Im going to take that with a grain of salt). I guess its a pretty opinionated response, so how about some numbers? Thanks! It does get cold here theres usually a week or two in January where the wind chill gets down around -10F (-23C), although most of the winter is much warmer. Boston is a lot more moderate than cold places in the middle of the country (like Columbus, Ohio, where I grew up), because we have a giant ocean next to us which keeps the temperature in check. I personally have very little sympathy for people who claim to not be able to live in Boston because of the weather (and, lord, those southern California kids love to complain). My prescription: a nice poofy jacket, an illegal space heater, and the Tech Shuttle. It also helps that most of the campus is connected either above ground or by underground tunnels. ;)

Essay on Internet Innovation

Essay on Internet Innovation Internet The expansion of the internet infrastructure across the world, coupled with the emergence of social media have proved influential in increasing internet coverage to much of the world, as against previously, where it was only largely available in the advanced economies. The growth in internet access has brought with an increased audience, which provides expanded markets for businesses, which have variously sought to exploit the new opportunities, Hussain Hussain (2007). In addition, the emergence of the internet and a multiplicity of related innovations has been critical in boosting flexibility in the business models, while at once enhancing convenience on the customers’ end, with the introduction of innovative new ways of conducting business. These ultimately result into increased efficiency, while at once presenting newer challenges and the need for regulations to curb fraud and protect intellectual property rights among other considerations. Important Innovations The key internet innovations that have changed the way of doing business, communication and social relationships include among many others, the emergence of social media, the growth in power and accuracy of search engines as well as the emergence and expansion of electronic commerce. Others include Telemedicine, virtual education and increased efficiency and scope of knowledge management in many organizations. Social Media Social media refers numerous online practices and technologies used by individuals and groups to access and share experiences, content, insights and perspectives, Lucas (2003). The flexibility and freedom associated with social media has been the reason for the explosion of visitors and internet traffic on these sites. As a result, these sites have become the target of marketing efforts by corporations, representing an important strategic resource for the business, political and social engineers. There virtually countless social sites and media include Facebook, twitter, Google Plus and the professional networking site LinkedIn, Olthuis (2011). These have together ensured increased communication, access and effective management of online profiles, to the great benefits of individual users, professionals, corporations, political parties and governments among other users. Search Engines Search engines represent of the most critical internet innovations, which served to add even greater functionality to the already promising technological resource, Lehr Pupillo (2009). With the emergence of Google and Bing, coupled with thousands of other search engines on the internet today, accessing internet content has been rendered multiply easier. Search engines endorse, match and rank internet contents, effectively helping users to easily sift through different contents. The major search engine types include Crawler based engines, human powered directories as well as hybrid engines, that combine the features of the different engines. Search engines play a critical role in the access and processing of internet and information content, making the internet even more relevant and useful to the user, Lucas (2003). With the benefit of thousands of these engines, information is simply a click close, but with the growing needs of the users, there is an even increased need for specialized search engines to meet the specific needs of the users. These sites represent some of the most popular internet innovations, whose potential is virtually unlimited. Electronic Commerce Electronic commerce has effectively automated most business transactions, resulting into the automatic access of product information, concluding purchases and arranging for the delivery of products online. The business model for electronic commerce sites are founded on ensuring efficiency, offering customized services and products, while at once lowering operational costs which in turn ensure lower prices for the customers, Hussain Hussain (2007). It as well boosts back office integration for increased efficiency. There are varied technologies that facilitate this, include those that ensure security of client information and payment methods. Telemedicine This refers to the provision of medical services and information by use of the internet and telecommunication technologies such as satellite communication, video conferencing and even telephone, Hedley (2006). The offer both real time clinical care as well as the collection, processing and storing medical information to help better cater for the patients’ health. Effectively, it is possible for doctors to remotely administer care including medical surgery on patients over great distances, which allows the better utilization of the available medical resources. Further, it makes it possible to provide care to remote communities and allow doctors, medical researchers and specialists to easily communicate and collaborate with one another. The major applications include telepathy, remote surgery, and remote diagnosis of diseases among others. Virtual Education The emergence of the internet has revolutionized distance learning programs, rendering them more effective and suited to the needs of students and instructors. The quality of instruction and feedback has been multiply been enhanced, while scarce educational resources can now be best utilized. There are multiple virtual libraries online that are fast replacing the traditional libraries, while at once offering greater choice and customization. The internet offers freeware books, journal materials and other information that enhance distance educational programs. The possibilities for boosting the quality and scale of distance learning and the use of the internet to ensure the efficient delivery of education to students across the world are even more promising than are currently available. As is the case with telemedicine, this will render it possible to avail quality education to students in remote areas, while at once facilitating collaborative research work among scholars in differing fields. Conclusion The internet presents the best possible prospect yet for communication and business, but it is as well beset by multiple problems, not least because of the increased prospect of online fraud. Internet visitors are multiply faced with the threat of computer viruses, identity theft, as well as theft or abuse of their personal and financial information. IN addition, the difficulties with safety of payments are exacerbated by a difficulty in regulating the internet. Search engines help simplify search and ranking of content, but the explosion of internet presents an information overload, making a lot more difficult for unsophisticated users. The efficient regulation of the internet, coupled with the development of new technologies that will help boost the security of online transactions, while at once helping to boost the quality of the information as well as the ease with which such information can be accessed. The internet’s reliability in the future will proof to be its key rec ommendation in people’s social, consumption and political lives etc References List Hedley, S., 2006, The Law of Electronic Commerce and the Internet in the UK and Ireland.

The Effects Of Beef On Cattle Farms - 1490 Words

On many farms in the United States, it is common to utilize hormones and other additives on cattle in factory farms. Farms often feed animals hormones to quicken the slaughtering process. Although the factory farms sell a surplus amount of cattle to stores, cattle are being treated unfairly and inhumanely. Cattle in farm factories are subject to the injection of hormones, harsh environments and poor physical treatment. Due to the utilization of hormones, abuse of cows and monopolization of cattle factories livestock farms, cows are deprived of basic needs and suffer physical trauma. Beef is a popular meat amongst the North American population and is sold in many factory farms and ranches throughout the nation. From a young age, cattle are sent to slaughterhouses well before their natural lifespan. According to an organization named Last Chance For Animals, â€Å"Nearly all cows used for dairy in the U.S. are eventually slaughtered for human consumption†, (LCA).At an average of less than 5 years of age, exhausted cows are considered â€Å"spent† and sent to slaughter, and millions of them are eaten by Americans as hamburger. In a natural setting, a cow can live more than 20 years†, (LCA). Millions of cows are slaughtered every year, and are also growing in numbers. According to Farm Sanctuary, â€Å"In 2010, 34.2 million cattle were slaughtered for beef in the United States† (Sanctuary).

Robert Frost - Poetry Begins in Delight Ends in Wisdom -...

â€Å"Poetry begins in delight and ends in wisdom† – Robert Frost Essay Danielle Sims Robert Frost was a poet who wrote traditional poetry that opposed the free verse styles and â€Å"no rules† system of the modernist poets who wrote at the same time in the early 1900s. His poetry is deceptively simple, commonly using colloquial language which flows just as naturally as speech. Whilst Frost is a poet who seems to be simplistic in his writing styles, his rhyming schemes are surprisingly sophisticated, often using iambic pentameter or blank verse. This, along with the use of colloquial language amounts to poetry which is intricately formed and subtly beautiful; often allowing the meaning to be overlooked. Frost is renowned for his descriptive use of†¦show more content†¦Another poem by Robert Frost that has elements of delightful imagery and descriptive language is â€Å"The Road Not Taken†. Once again, Frost’s pastoral writing style and inclination to write about difficult topics through the metaphor of nature has led him to set this poem in a â€Å"yellow wood.† The first line of the poem sets the scenery, â€Å"Two woods diverged in a yellow wood†. This imagery is beautiful; it is at the time of autumn and we can picture a scene of autumn leaves fluttering from the trees onto the ground. â€Å"And looked down one as far as I could, To where it bent in the undergrowth†. We can picture peering down a yellow trail, and looking as far as we possibly can, until there was only bush. Because we can picture it, we can relate to it, and appreciate the scenery. The way the poem sounds is also captivating. It is set out in iambic tetrameter, a very difficult rhyming scheme which, when spoken, sounds amazing. The poem flows, thanks to the use of enjambment throughout. â€Å"And sorry I could not travel both/And be one traveller, long I stood† â€Å"Two woods diverged in a wood and I-/ I took the one less travelled by†. The use of colloquial language only aids the reader in appreciating it, as the words work so well together. We take delight in reading it as it flows off the tongue so naturally, and it is beautifully formed and written.Show MoreRelatedRobert Frosts Stay against Confusion766 Words   |  3 Pages Term Paper: Robert Frost’s Stay against Confusion Robert Frost’s poetic techniques serve as his own â€Å"momentary stay against confusion,† or as a buffer against mortality and meaninglessness in several different ways; in the next few examples, I intend to prove this.
