------------------------------------------------- GM crops: Promise and reality The introduction of the first transgenic plant 30 years ago heralded the start of a second green revolution‚ providing food to the starving‚ profits to farmers and environmental benefits to boot. Many GM crops fulfilled the promise. But their success has been mired in controversy with many questioning their safety‚ their profitability and their green credentials. A polarized debate has left little room for consensus

CHAPTER 4 : FUNCTIONS AND THEIR GRAPHS 4.1 Definition of Function A function from one set X to another set Y is a rule that assigns each element in X to one element in Y. 4.1.1 Notation If f denotes a function from X to Y‚ we write 4.1.2 Domain and range X is known as the domain of f and Y the range of f. (Note that domain and range are sets.) 4.1.3 Object and image If and ‚ then x and y are known respectively as the objects and images of f. We can write ‚ ‚ . We can represent

Graphs 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4 show the waveforms for the flute‚ violin‚ piano‚ and oboe. The Fourier Series can be used to explain why each of the instruments have their own unique sound. The flute‚ violin‚ piano and oboe have different combinations of frequencies as each waveform is made of an unique combination of sine and cosine waves‚ and this creates distinct waveforms and allows each instrument to have a unique sound. Recall that the formula of the Fourier Series is f(x)=a_0+∑_(k=1)^∞▒(a_k cos〖πkx/T〗+b_k

line on a Cartesian graph is approximately the distance y in feet a person walks in x hours. What does the slope of this line represent? How is this graph useful? Provide another example for your colleagues to explain. The slope of the line represents the speed of the person in feet per hour. This graph is useful because it provides a visual representation of the continuous motion of the person walking‚ something that could not provided by something like a bar graph. In a bar graph‚ the sheer number

Misleading Graphs Team C Introduction to Statistics—QNT/273 February 7‚ 2011 Jeffrey McDonough Misleading Graphs “Graphs give a visual representation that enables readers to analyze and interpret data more easily than they could simply by looking at numbers. However‚ inappropriately drawn graphs can misrepresent the data and lead the reader to false conclusions” (Bluman‚ 2009‚ p.76). Some methods used by graph makers to mislead consumers are truncated axis starting points and using two

Graph theory - the study of graphs and networks‚ is often considered part of combinatorics‚ but has grown large enough and distinct enough‚ with its own kind of problems‚ to be regarded as a subject in its own right.[12] Graphs are one of the prime objects of study in discrete mathematics. They are among the most ubiquitous models of both natural and human-made structures. They can model many types of relations and process dynamics in physical‚ biological and social systems.
