In the movie logan, there's a DNA killing energy drink made from corn syrup.
How possible would it be to create a strain of corn to target DNA? It's just got me curious and all that.
Here's similar questions:
In the movie "Man of Steel" how can the dude fly?
In the movie trilogy "Lord of the rings" how can the ring give people supernatural powers?

Hey guys, I have a graph theory/traversal/counting problem that I'm not sure how to figure out. For a graph/tree like the one posted, how do I count the number of possible depth-first search traversals through the tree? My intuition says the answer is something along the line of (options per branch)! + (options per branch 2)! + ... + (options per branch n)! , but I haven't found a rigorous solution. Any ideas?
>>8736371
Its the number of leaves? Wait, no, it's a bit assymetric, so it's tricky
Number of leaves is the number of possible first traversals, then * n-1 for each n-branch already touched / or * n otherwise?
6 * 2^3

Hey /sci/, there is a way to solve this system matematically without bruteforcing it?
>>8736105
yes

>brute force
>can be solved by hand in 5 minutes
If you want to make your life a little easier use matrix notation. This problem isn't that bad at all though.
A+D=3
A+14-C=3
A-C=-11
A-12+B=-11
A+B=1
numbers don't add up OP.
For any ellipse centered at the origin, the line, y = mx, splits the ellipse in exactly 2, regardless of the value of m. Why is that?
Is it related to the fact that if the ellipse was a circle, the property would hold because of the symmetry of the circle, and then under the transformation of stretching the circle, the ratio of the areas created by the line does not change? If so, how can one express this mathematically?
>>8736097
If you reflect the image by the x- and y-axes you get the same picture with red and green inverted.
>>8736110
same for any square.
>>8736117
Same for any shape with 2k (where k belongs to positive integers) corners and has a symmetriline at x=0
How the fuck do they build these lighthouses out in these treacherous seas?
Ever heard of tides?
>>8735861
yeah but its a couple hours what did they throw a bunch of stones down and hope the next tide wouldnt wash everything away. plus ive seen lighthouses that are built in places where the waves are always fucking brutal like in the north sea
>>8735861
that's retarded
>>8735858
It depends on the era. They probably build them in a season with calm weather, bringing the material on boat. Modern lighthouses aren't like this afaik, they just tall prefabricated buoys or pillars.
However that's a good question, I've never thought of this until now. Most of them probably were a big undertaking at the time they were build.
So tomorrow my new Ti Nspire Cx Cas calc arrives.
Its my first texas instruments / graph calc, and i know theres a "scene" with mods and "apps" to make cool shit like step by step derivation, integration, complex step by step equations and shit like that, anybody knows a good place to start learning how to use it.
I really need a place to start I know there are over featured apps for this model, but the cost of three is almost the price of the calc, so I need a specialized site to look up cracked apps, or whatever calc-terminology they use. I've tried the pirate bay, Google, obviously, but it appears there aren't many mainstream forums or sites, so I guess someone here should have a tip
tl;dr:
>I have a new graph ti calc, never had one before
>i need to know how to used to take the most of it, to mod it,
>install cracked apps (whats a good site, with tutorials)
>Mainly for making my live easier in my tests

>Needing a calculator to do derivatives and integrals
>>8735846
I wish I didn't get so accustomed to the ti-84 plus judging by the fact that it's an outdated piece of shit compared to these new calculators. How do you make tables and graphs, is it on screen now, or are there still buttons for it?

/sci/ I feel like i've been lied to in my engineering classes. Apparently you don't need to guess and check to find polynomial roots. This algorithm can reduce the problem to finding the eigenvalues of a matrix representing a ring, what other methods are there of doing this? Does anyone know about emiris' algorithm? Where can I find out more about this?
>>8735740
wolfram alpha is pretty cool

how does wolfram alpha tell me more about polynomial root finding algorithms?

Read Perelman's autobiography. That's exactly how he did it.
There's a reason he is called Peckerman now.
Do it faggot.

I usually do a lot of work at the library, for some reason home is the absolute worst place for me to work.

I've been trying to work for the past hour and a half and I haven't done jack shit.

At home it's way too easy to fall into the trap of

The only way to fix this is to either have to computer around or have a public terminal that people can see

Yeah its all about mindset. At home I shitpost or do other stuff, at the library surrounded by books and people working harder than me I feel compelled not to slack

wow that was close. you almost learned something.
After doing meditation for a while, I started consciously trying to breathe deeply all the time as if I were meditating. Now after some time I got used to it and seem to be doing it always, or at least whenever I notice. Is this harmless, or could breathing deeply 24/7 fuck my shit up somehow?
Just in case, I don't walk around doing weird breathing noises. I took care from the start to get used to always doing it as slowly as possible, so it's not more noticeable for people around me than regular breathing .
congratulations you now have OCD
>>8735172
Well the goal of some religious meditative practices is to attain and stay zen so it sounds to me like you're on that path.
>>8735172
Hi anon, Respiratory Therapy anon here.
Firstly, ignore this bs: >>8735199
Breathing too deeply and breathing to quickly have essentially the same effect: eliminating CO2 from your blood. CO2 level is supposed to be between 35-45 mEq/L and is important for regulating blood pH. Fortunately, your body's smarter than you are. Your body will compensate for any pH fluctuations by increasing the base excess in your blood, predominantly by renal regulation of HCO3-.
So like, you're only making your body work harder to maintain homeostasis. It won't kill you, but it could cause complications if your normal values are out of whack because you insist on having an abnormal tidal volume.
TL;DR: You won't fuck your shit up, but you're being abnormal just for the sake of being abnormal which will just make lab results more difficult to interpret.
What is the best program for creating figures and/or animations depicting biological structures and processes in a presentation/talk? At my university, all my peers and the faculty rely on PowerPoint, but I can't help but feel that there has to be a better, more efficient method.
