So I'm finishing my third year in bioengineering with a minor in chemistry and I'm thinking about continuing in Nanobiotechnology. I've always made my study choices regarding my general interests, not with a specific job in mind.
Now I'm curious about where I could land, what kind of jobs can i expect to apply for or land with a degree in bioengineering specialised in nanobiotech?
>>8073925
Big pharma, insilico drug design, screening, docking.
>I've always made my study choices regarding my general interests
>what kinds of jobs can I expect to apply for
>nanobiotech
You're a gambling man then? That field basically does not exist in industry yet. Unless it catches on commercially soon you can expect to do nothing in nanobiotech
>>8074952
i guess i am attracted bu the "futuristic" aspect of nanobiotech... regardless, this specialisation has been available for over 10y in my university so surely there's a certain job niche for this field
Taking differential equations course, this is text:
Ordinary Differential Equations, Zill, 9th edition
is this good?
besides book does anyone have any online resources to help with course (eg khan)??
i think the real name of the book is
First Course In Differential Equations Ed: 9
not sure why they listed it with a different title
>>8073867
>9th edition
>is this good?
No.
You'll find this useful.

Suppose some powerful interest groups enact policies that are extremely unfavorable to older generations, is it safe to say that once they die off, their offspring would willingly accept those unfavorable polcies as "normal"?
If you doctrine new generations your twisted ideas, they can even kill people thinking they're doing something good.
North Koreans love Kim... They worship him like a god, of course it would seem normal to them
Refer to gullivers travels
Unless these policies cause the younger generations harm. This is especially the case with mass immigration, which will lead to and is causing reactionary (and perhaps even revolutionary) thought across the West in the younger generations.

I hate electric stoves. It's kinda cool that you can use them as a benchtop when you're not cooking, but they take forever to heat up and you can't pick the pan up and tilt it like you can over a gas flame. Plus the immediate whoosh and heat you get when you light a gas stove with a lighter is just so satisfying.
I kind of feel the same about electric cars (despite never being anywhere near one) - I like the way my car rumbles and the feeling...

I hate fucking airplanes. I used to love the times we spent 4 months to travel from one country to another on horses with making 5000 stops on the way. Now you hop on to an airplane and get there in a few hours its just ridiculous.
>>8073727
>they take forever to heat up
I think you should change your stove
I agree with the electric car thing, not because of the feeling, but because they're getting so much hype when they hardly improve the existing situation. It feels like a lateral move, at best. Not to mention batteries aren't the most reliable technology out there.
I like gas because you can char with it
What's been going on at LIGO in the past few months?
They've detected the first gravitational wave within 12 days, so shouldn't there have been some more discoveries by now? It's an observatory, after all.
This topic blew up in February and then died immediately after although it's essentially an entirely new way to learn about our universe. Why?
Also gravitational waves general I guess, I've done some research on them in the past couple of weeks and I can answer questions
>>8073677
Do we need big observatories like LIGO to detect them? Is it possible to reduce the size of the observatories?
>>8073681
The bigger the observatory, the more sensitive it is. The amplitude of a gravitational wave essentially decides how large the proportional change in length of an object will be.
If you've got a really large observatory, then, the absolute length difference between the arms will also be really large in comparison to a small observatory. And the greater the length difference, the more the two light waves will be out of phase.
So you would really just want to go even bigger. You could probably lower the size...

isn't detecting gravitational waves as proof of Einstein affirming the consequent?
Also, how are gravitational waves observed and attributed?
Possible to do hard math/physics on ketogenic diet?
Do you know any people that do that?
>>8073641
Any diet is fine as long as your iq is high enough (160 master race reporting in)

unless medically required, keto is fucking stupid
>>8073657
except if your IQ becomes 100 after 2 hours of math

Out of the two facial recognition sites, pictriev and betaface.com, which do you think is more accurate?
Pictriev determines a person's masculinity/feminity and age along with celebrity lookalikes.
Betaface.com measures all of the above + various other things such as race,
hair colour, face shape, nose shape, eye distance, eye shape etc.

The question has nothing to do with me. It is about the accuracy of the facial recogition apis.

"There are two balls traveling on a 2D plane. BallA is traveling at 10 degrees and the direction of BallB is unknown. BallA is traveling at 10km/h and BallB is traveling at 6km/h. BallA is located at point (2,7) and BallB is located at point (14,2). It is known that the two balls will collide perfectly; if they were just points they would meet perfectly. How can we locate the point of collision/the direction that BallB...

10 degrees with respect to what?
>>8073481
We can say that the positive X direction is 0 degrees or 360 degrees

How can virtual particles just pop in and out of existence? Doesn't that violate the law of conservation?
If something can just suddenly appear out of no where, what prevents something larger from doing the same?
>>8073450
>As a consequence of quantum mechanical uncertainty, any object or process that exists for a limited time or in a limited volume cannot have a precisely defined energy or momentum. This is the reason that virtual particles — which exist only temporarily as they are exchanged between ordinary particles — do not necessarily obey the mass-shell relation. However, the longer a virtual particle exists, the more closely it adheres to the mass-shell relation. A "virtual" particle that...

>>8073450
Virtual particles are just a mathematical tool. Each line tells you to write down some mathematical expression, and each vertex some other expression. What exactly depends on the theory and the kind of line/vertex. A quark line is different to a gluon line, and a quark/gluon/gluon vertex is different to a 3 gluon vertex.
That's all it is and thinking of them as actual particles is simply incorrect, despite what popsci might tell you.
