ts have excellent night vision and can see at only one sixth the light level required for human vision.[54]:43 This is partly the result of cat eyes having a tapetum lucidum‚ which reflects any light that passes through the retina back into the eye‚ thereby increasing the eye’s sensitivity to dim light.[73] Another adaptation to dim light is the large pupils of cats’ eyes. Unlike some big cats‚ such as tigers‚ domestic cats have slit pupils.[74] These slit pupils can focus bright light without chromatic

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions

Diatomic molecules are two-atom molecules such as elemental oxygen. A compound is a type of matter in which two or more different elements are chemically

Nicholas G. Carr published this article in the May of 2003. Its purpose was to convey to the reader that IT no longer matters and may no longer be relevant. Carr’s reasoning behind this is that corporations have universally accepted and use IT; this makes the use of IT a commodity and no longer puts the corporation at an advantage over any other using IT. Which means that using IT would no longer be a strategic decision for the corporation. After explaining this Carr offered new rules for IT management

talk as if Race Matters? Unwittingly or quite knowingly people have built systems of inequalities around race but people have also built identity‚ friendships‚ and college mates around it. Nevertheless‚ several people I recently interviewed never appeared to be certain when race was a good thing or when it was a bad thing to talk about‚ which in my mind leaves us all struggling with a particularly intimidating question: When should we talk as if race matters?
