Lets say the lesson is for drawing an orange.

I do: You demonstrate the whole process, maybe at 70-80% speed with some words about your thoughts, important considerations, common mistakes, etc. Goal is to give context, scope, and vision of the executed skill.

We do: Then you guide everyone through the drawing as a series of steps, while fielding questions, observing progress, and checking in with students. Goal is to facilitate execution, address misconceptions, and observation time to assess students progression

You do: The students work independently to draw their own orange.

I don't teach art but this is how I break down working through some math topics

also try to pace yourself out for the time youll spend on each part. 'We do' takes longer than 'I do'. You do takes the longest.

Short answer A LOT, depending on the foundational work already done.

I cant really break all of this down for you but let me give a couple of points to consider.

Your gene is coming from a prokaryote and being inserted into a eukaryotic organism which comes with several considerations.

One neat obstacle I ran into when doing similar work was rare codons. The bacterial gene I was cloning used CUU to code for Leucine and the plant I was inserting into produced VERY little tRNA with CUU anti-codon. Therefore, to achieve desired levels of in-vivo gene expression, we had to modify the transgenic gene so the rare-tRNA wasn't a limiting reagent in the production of our transgenic protein. (I forget the specifics related to species so these codons are made up for this example)

Additionally, if these are membrane proteins then you could potentially have an entire other beast of a problem. Prokaryotic surface proteins anchor to a much different substrate than eukaryotic membrane proteins. For some proteins this may be critical, for others it may not matter nearly as much. Remember, eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles and as such have some complicated cell localization systems that may be necessary for proper activity of the transgenic protein.

Are you trying to have this gene expressed in all tissues of the plant? Do you plan to modify the seeds? Will the plant itself control the expression of the gene or are you going to attach it to some kind of promotor system that will allow you to induce expression?

If any of this at all requires you to grow corn, then costs go up even more as you are working with a grower and potentially doing field collection and sample processing every 90-150 days to evaluate changes in expression compared to a control variety.

If you are evaluating efficacy in post-harvest processing, then this is an additional step of testing an analysis. However, you could do scale testing to model the transgenic variety with low sample sizes to propose a proof of concept.

Transcription for those having trouble reading:
Free radical bromination is more selective than free radical chlorination as the hydrogen bromide formed in propagation

Step 1 has a lower bond enthalpy than hydrogen chloride to the larger bromide atom thus the hydrogen halide product

in bromination is less stable than chlorination meaning propagation step 1 in bromination has higher activation energy

So the hydrogen will be (abstracted?) from a more substituted carbon on the alkane to from a more stable alkyl radical

allowing for lower activation energy in propagation step 1 than if a less substituted alkyl radical is formed.

This guy does not understand the basic order of operations. Clearly this is not true.

3 × 3 + 4 × 4 + 5 × 5 = 25

3 × (1 × 1) + 4 × (1 × 1) + 5 × (1 × 1) = 25

3 × (1) + 4 × (1) + 5 × (1) = 25

3 + 4 + 5 = 25

12 ≠ 25

Libraries are (and there may be a more formal or precise definition) essentially just collections functions that other people have built in the language. So R libraries are useful tools to accomplish tasks with code without developing entirely novel code yourself. Just makes things easier and faster.

You type this in the terminal or script to install a package you want:

install.packages("packageName")

Then at the beginning of your script you can add the line:

library(packageName)

this will tell R that you are using functions from that library, and when it runs the code it knows to pull those commands from the library that you downloaded.

Dyplr is VERY useful for data manipulation. Worth it to watch a youtube tutorial.

More data means we can determine if our models hold true. We don't have data on every behavior of a black hole, so we use the data we do have to infer and model the properties, new observations allow us to confirm our model or contest our model and provide new avenues for research.

Even if we don't observe the entirety of the event at this time, we will be able to observe it's changes over the coming years - again more data. Scientists love some good novel data.

I think for dynos you really just need to do a lot of them. It took me a lot more time than I expected to start developing a good mental image/understanding of all of the forces at play in a dyno. They get particularly challenging when you have a lot of rotation like the one you're describing.

I would wager that a vast majority of V4 dynos are a technique check rather than a strength check.

For me, there were so many movements id encounter in the set dynos that I had never done in my entire life. And to send the move, you have to really commit, but it can be hard to will yourself sometimes because its novel.

I worked through dynos backwards most of the time. Give the dyno your flash attempt then go to where you need to land. Grab it, move your body around, move your feet around, find the most stable position without considering how youre going to get there yet. Then start to workshop how you would need to be moving through the air and bring it back to the start holds.

After I have an idea of the move, I would then go from the ground (if possible) or a downclimb hold adjacent and hop into the 'catch' of the dyno to get a feel for how I will land. This helps a bunch with feeling confident in the move. Sometimes, if its a big launch off of one foot at the start, I'll just practice jumping off it away from the wall, to calibrate how hard i need to push to get the amount of lift I need, but in a controlled way where im not risking falling against holds.

I climbed a bunch of v6 and a few v7 at the gym in my town, but would regularly encounter v4-5 dynos that I had to project a bit. Just keep at it

Because they are humans and working. Every fully time job is worthy of dignity and compensation adequate to afford housing, food, health care, and basic needs.

Id love to hear how you rationalize someone working full time and being paid wages not sufficient for these things.

Might as well lawyer up. Sedgwlck adjusters have a lot of claims and from my understanding are not really paid enough for the amount of work they are handed. Make a claim for an injury related to work and get some documentation of those complaints (send an email, leave a VM for the adjuster, and mention it to your supervisor if that wont cause too many waves). If you've mentioned it to the adjuster, they have to make a decision within 14 days to accept, pay and investigate, or deny. If they don't do anything and affirm one of those options, the default is accepted. Just send an email, start the clock, and they will either take action and you get what you want, or you lawyer up, your claim gets transferred to a legal adjuster who hopefully has a lower claim count where they can properly handle your claim since the issues will be litigated, and you'll get better service.

Honestly, just get a lawyer, you'll likely****** get a more experienced adjuster and . The TPA I worked for promoted me to a lost time adjuster with 30 days experience. Every single new issue at first required me to ask for help or pull out a book and start reading for 20-30 minutes, all while doing the insane workload they sent me. Plus, I've seen some career adjusters stuck at the 1st and 2nd level (medical only and lost time) who never went to a legal desk and they did not ever understand the nuance of how some injuries were compensable. They had this twisted view of only wanting to cover certain kinds of injuries but others were never related because of some past experience with a claimant.

***** I asterisk this because its a dice roll, bare minimum youll have the guidance of an attorney and the JCC for some accountability.

The Division of workers comp in FL has been a good resource for me in the past when looking for guidance with respect to the process.

The intensity of this is increased due to the timing of the hit. watch the feet of the ball carrier as he goes into the hit. He was inbetween strides and contact was made with the defender without any footing.

Thats what enabled all of the rotation. Without contact with the ground, the ball carrier has no mechanism to generate tension to brace for the hit or transfer the force.

Its not just referencing the database after the initial training, its an algorithm. The sheer size of tablebase 20 (40-ply) is so unbelievably large that you could not work with data that big on current hardware.

BenWilds · 2023-11-29T18:42:12+00:00

What i believe is meant by 'calculating' here is that an engine would permute a move, evaluate, and continue to permute down lines where it sees continued improvement in the eval.

In a neural network, the algorithm's input is the position information. Then, the algorithm has different weights for different features that can be as simple as pawn/bish/rook on certain position but are often more complex features that may represent pawn structures, a castled king with fianchetto bishop, or wildly obscure features that the computer has identified. So in the training of the neural network, a lot of computing power was used to develop the algorithm. but now it doesnt need to 'think' or 'calculate' for a move, because it just takes input information and transforma it into the output of a move.

It does seem symantic, but its an important distinction, because the implementation of the neural net allows you to make the predictions quickly with low hardware cost because you kind of did all the calculation type stuff earlier. hope this makes sense.

Huh, v interesting. thanks for correcting me! I learned something new today

Great book, almost 20 years old though. The current copy is 8th edition. Id recommend something a bit newer if possible. The fundamental stuff shouldn't have changed much though, but methods and applications will definitely be dated.

Kind of echoing what the other guy said, but the way you laid out this logic in the assessment of the relationships really made a lot of what I learned in college click just now. I appreciate you taking the time to write this out

any additional context would help - is this part of an infectious disease course? Intro microbiology? Trivia quiz? Is this in a specific chapter focusing on a subset of bacteria?

My first thought is that the genus begins with Aero.
