Why William James Matters

08.25.10 8:47 PM ET

William James’ body lies a-mouldering in the grave, but his words keep marching on. James, the great American philosopher, psychologist, and student of religion, author of
The Principles of Psychology (1890)
Pragmatism (1907) and
The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), died at his summer home in Chocorua, New Hampshire, on Aug 26, 1910, just a hundred years ago today. Brother of the novelist Henry James, and of the diarist Alice James, William James has several things to tell us that we still in 2010 don’t hear. In psychology, he taught that what we are pleased to call rationality is in fact a feeling, a feeling of fitness or rightness. He also taught that many of our emotions are the result, not the cause, of physical reactions (we are afraid because we run, not the other way round) and that mimicking, say, a smile or a friendly handshake will often produce a feeling of friendliness. In philosophy—or perhaps we should say at the junction between psychology and philosophy—James taught that we must awaken from our centuries-long Platonic dream of the supremacy of ideas to all else. James’ pragmatism is a philosophy of action. It is not the origin of a human action that matters so much as its results—all its results—are what matter. In his radical empiricism, it is experience that counts, but everyone’s experiences and all of our experiences must count. In religion then, we are not surprised to learn, James teaches that it is the religious experiences of individuals—not books or buildings, or creeds or clergy—that constitute real religion.

The Heart of William James. Edited by Robert Richardson. 368 pages. Harvard University Press. $29.95.

James worked at the intersections of psychology, philosophy, and religious studies. He was interested in the marginal and the vague as well as the central and obvious. He was more interested in consciousness than in the unconscious. He proposed—and here he seems to be daring us to follow him—that attention, will, and belief are three names for the same process. He understood that there are no universals, except possibly habit, that “enormous flywheel of society,” and he is our great prophet of the truth that there can be no one great permanent truth, but only the process of trueing, as a carpenter trues a board with a plane, or as a builder trues an upright with a plumb line.

James learned from Emerson that we must “give all to love,” must hold nothing back. He also would agree with Emerson’s observation that “life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.”

James thought that the spirit might conceivably outlive the body. We must be grateful that his has.

Robert Richardson is an independent scholar and recovering academic, who has written biographies of Thoreau, Emerson and William James. His most recent volume, an anthology called The Heart of William James, has just been published by Harvard University Press.

'Crazy Rich Asians' author working on project for television

Not really, according to Kevin Kwan who wrote the best-selling novel Crazy Rich Asians, which is curently filming in Malaysia and Singapore.

Kwan is involved in developing a new television series that will have Asian actors and feature the same globe-trotting world with glaborous locales that was featured in his novels. The project will be his first venture in television.

STXtv, the television division of STX Entertainment, has acquired the rights to an untitled scripted drama from Kwan and co-creator David Sangalli. Backers include China's Hony Capital and Tencent Holdings as well as Hong Kong-based telecom giant PCCW.STX.

Kwan says, the prospective series will not be a continuation of his novels. He wouldn't reveal details of the plot but the premise will involve the same type of globe-trotting, multinational, glamorous ensemble that made Kwan's trilogy so popular.

"With the final book coming out, loyal readers have already been asking, 'What's next?'" said the New York-based Kwan in a statement. "There's no better home than STXtv for my next act. We can't wait to take my fans and a whole new audience into an extraordinary world they've never seen before."

"This project is the perfect embodiment of the type of talent-driven, premium content series with a unique East-West appeal that STXtv was created to develop," according to STX. "Kevin and David are crazy gifted storytellers, and we're proud to bring their newest creation to life on new platforms around the world."

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand the process of adapting a book into a television series.
2. Identify the key players involved in developing a TV show.
3. Analyze the challenges of adapting a novel into a TV show.
4. Apply the knowledge gained to create their own television series idea.

Section 1: Introduction to Television Series Development

Topic 1: What is a Television Series?
A television series is a collection of episodes that are produced for broadcast on television. These episodes follow a storyline and often have recurring characters and themes.

Topic 2: Why Adapt a Book into a Television Series?
Books are a great source of material for television series because they already have a strong storyline, developed characters, and a loyal fan base. Adapting a book into a TV show can help attract viewers who are familiar with the book and also attract new viewers who may not have read the book but are interested in the story.

Section 2: Developing a Television Series

Topic 1: The Adaptation Process
The adaptation process involves several steps, including optioning the book, hiring writers, and finding a network or streaming service to air the show. It can take years to develop a successful TV series.

Transcript of Naegleria

Naegleria Kate Mozzochi & Emily PoppWhat led us to research Naegleria?Naegleria is a parasite that affects the brain. The main reason that we picked Naegleria was because the images for this parasite were minimally graphic. Who is Affected by This Parasite?Where and How Naegleria OriginatedThe Discovery of NaegleriaThe Affects Of NaegleriaHow is Naegleria Classified?Naegleria's NicheCase History

Life CycleCurrent Research and TreatmentsWill Naegleria Ever be Eradicated?Is Naegleria Successful?What Characteristics Make Naegleria Unique?Something InterestingUsually Naegleria eats bacteria; however, once in the human body, the parasite uses the brain as a food source.Change in smell or tasteHeadacheFever Stiff neckNausea/ VomitingConfusionSeizuresAltered mental statusComaDeathNaegleria Causes...Kali Hardig, age 12, contracted the Naegleria parasite in the form of a rare meningitis while swimming at a water park in Arkansas.

Kali began vomiting violently and her mother rushed her to the emergency room. Her mother's early action is mostly likely the reason she lived.

Kali was given a multitudes of drugs including an experimental drug that was used to treat breast cancer. They also used a method of cooling used for cases of traumatic brain injury.

BibliographyNaelgeria normally affects children and young adults; however, the amoeba does not specifically affect a certain group of peopleYoung boys are most at riskIf someone ingests warm,contaminated, freshwater through their nose or swims in a poorly maintained swimming pool they are at risk of being affected by NaelgeriaNaeleria Fowleri can only infect HumansThere are three stages in the life cycle of Naegleria

The Naegleria changes stages of life as the conditions of the environment changeAmeboid Trophozite StageThe amoeba feeds on bacteria and multiplies through binary fission (pinching in half) without breaking the membrane of the nucleus Flagellate Stage(Ameboflagellate state)There are 8 known types of Naegleria that can be found in bodies of freshwater (lakes, rivers and ponds) or soil in...Europe (Australia, New Zealand, and Japan) Middle Asia (Thiland, India and China) The USA.A temporary state where the Naegleria does not feed or divide If creature come into contact with poor nutrient water, the Naegleria enters the flagellate stageThe Naegleria changes shape and may move forward rapidly or spin in place to escape bad nutrient waterCystic Stage

The most resistant form of the parasite that protects the parasite from dryness or food shortages. When conditions around the amoeba improve, the parasite escapes through pores of the cyst.Amoeba migrates through olfactory nerves (nose) to cause infection in the brainNaegleria was first discovered in Australia but has supposedly evolved in the United StatesFound in 1965 by Dr. Fowler and Dr. CutlerThis discovery was important to scientific and medical research because Naegleria proved how a protozoa can live both in a human host and in natureNaegleria causes the disease Primary Amebic Meningoencenphalitis (PAM) which was discovered by Dr. Butt in 1966Kingdon= Protists (specifically protozoa)Phylum= Sarcomastigophora (specifically sarcodina)Species= FowleriClass= AcarpomyxeaFamily= VahlkampfiidaeGenus= NaegleriaOrder= Schizopyrenida

Naegleria commonly kills individuals quickly; however, doctors normally use amphotericin B, which is highly toxic and may cause organ damage or drug related death, to treat patients infected with naelgeria. Amphotericin B is very ineffective because of the nature of the protazoa; it is very rare that a human will survive after having Naegleria infect their brainNaegleria's natural niche is bodies of warm, freshwater such as lakes, rivers or hot springsThis parasite can also make it's home in under chlorinated pools, soil deposits, heated tap water or in warm water discharge from industrial plantsThe ideal temperature is above 27 degrees Celsius They grow at temperatures between 37-46 degrees Celsius (86-115 F)

Is Naegleria good and what it does?

- Naegleria is a very rare occurrence in humans; however, most cases of Naegleria in humans result in primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) which is almost always fatal; therefore, Naegleria is successful at eating the brains of humans.

- There is no effective treatment for Naegleria; therefore, the parasite continues to reproduce and destroy the brain and nervous system.

- In nature, Naegleria is common in lakes in the South and has become more prevalent in lakes of the North which means the parasite is successful at reproducing and expanding.The immune system in the human body naturally uses mucus to remove toxins and harmful bacterias from the body; however, Naelgeria releases an enzyme once inside the human body that digests the mucus which makes the infection even harder to treatNaegleria causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) which is nearly always fatalMost Dangerous Effect

Other drugs such as miltefosine and chlorpromazine are currently being tested to treat NaegleriaChlorpromazine has been more successful in treating the parasiteThe scary part: A child died a few years earlier from meningitis caused by the Naegleria parasite after going to the same water park.Naegleria has three morphologically different life stages that change based on environmental conditionsTransformation of amoeba into flagellatesThe ability for Naegleria to divide rapidly in warm and stagnant waterHeat- lovingDistinct nuclear envelopeCan only feed and develop in amoeba stageAll Naegleria species are sensitive to amphotericin B

It is highly unlikely that Naegleria will ever be eradicated because...

There are over 30 types of NaegleriaNaegleria's ability to transform between physical stages make the parasite tolerable to changes in conditions that may be used for eradicationNaegleria can be found in many domestic water supplies and bodies of water in the US and reproduces quickly through binary fission meaning that the parasite is most likely too numerous for complete eradicationThere is also no current vaccine or true cure to Naegleria Fowleri so there is still lots of research to be done before eradication, if possible. - A common cause of Naegleria Fowleri is the neti- pot if the water is contaminated.

- In nature, the parasite is most abundant during the summer months, due to the warm temperature.

Naegleria evolved from a pathogen found in AustraliaNaegleria Fowleri is believed to have evolved from the nonpathogenic Naegleria Iovaniesnsis in AmericaFrom a Different Perspective...Naegleria could be considered unsuccessful because after Naegleria eats the brain of the host, the amoeba must find a new host which is a difficult task.

**Lesson:** Understanding Neoliberalism and its Impact on Society

**Introduction:** Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy that emphasizes free market capitalism, deregulation, and reduced government intervention in the economy. It has been widely adopted by governments around the world since the 1980s. In this lesson, we will explore what neoliberalism is, its impact on society, and ways in which people have responded to it.

**Section 1: What is Neoliberalism?**

Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy that promotes the idea that the market should be the main driver of economic activity, rather than the government. It emphasizes free trade, privatization, and reduced government regulation.

**Section 2: Impact of Neoliberalism on Society**

Neoliberalism has had a significant impact on society in many ways. Some of these impacts include:

- Increased income inequality: Neoliberal policies often favor the wealthy, leading to greater income inequality.
- Reduced social welfare programs: Governments that adopt neoliberal policies may reduce social welfare programs, leading to increased poverty and hardship for the most vulnerable members of society.
- Environmental degradation: Neoliberalism's focus on economic growth can lead to environmental degradation as companies prioritize profits over sustainability.
- Decreased job security: Neoliberal policies often lead to decreased job security as companies seek to reduce costs and increase profits.

**Section 3: Resistance to Neoliberalism**

Despite the negative impacts of neoliberalism, many people have organized to resist its effects. Some examples of resistance include:

- Trade unions: Unions have fought for better working conditions, higher wages, and job security for workers.
- Social movements: Groups of people have come together to fight for social justice issues such as access to healthcare, education, and housing.
- Political activism: People have run for office and advocated for policies that prioritize the needs of ordinary people over corporate interests.

**Conclusion:** Understanding neoliberalism and its impact on society is essential for anyone who wants to be an informed citizen. By learning about the history of neoliberalism and its effects, we can better understand the challenges we face and work towards building a more just and equitable society.

**Glossary:**
- Neoliberalism: An economic philosophy that emphasizes free market capitalism, deregulation, and reduced government intervention in the economy.
- Income inequality: A situation where income is distributed unevenly among individuals in a society.
- Social welfare programs: Government programs designed to provide support to those in need, such as food assistance, healthcare, and housing subsidies.
- Sustainability: The ability of a system or process to continue indefinitely without depleting natural resources or harming the environment.
- Job security: The assurance of continued employment and regular income.

**Self-Debate:** How might neoliberalism impact your life and community? What can you do to resist its effects and promote a more just society?

[Effect of proglumide on gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion in the conscious state].
Proglumide suppressed neither phase III activity nor propagation of interdigestive migrating contractions (IMC) in the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, proglumide did not inhibit the gastric motor activity stimulated by pentagastrin, however, it suppressed the pH in Pavlov pouch stimulated by pentagastrin in the interdigestive state. On the contrary, in the digestive state, proglumide did not suppress the pH. That might be due to not only various gut hormones including gastrin, but also neural stimulation, mechanical stimulation and so on. In conclusion, antigastrin effect of proglumide is rather remarkable on the acid secretion not on the gastrointestinal motor activity. Proglumide may be an antacid without suppression of motor activity.

textbook:
Lesson: Understanding the Effects of Proglumide on Gastrointestinal Motility and Gastric Secretion

Introduction:
Proglumide is a drug that is used to treat conditions such as diabetic gastroparesis and postoperative ileus. It works by inhibiting the release of certain hormones, including gastrin, which can affect gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion. In this lesson, we will explore the effects of proglumide on these two processes.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to understand the effects of proglumide on gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
1. Gastrointestinal motility refers to the movement of food and other substances through the digestive tract.
2. Gastric secretion refers to the production of stomach acid and other substances that help break down food.
3. Proglumide is a drug that inhibits the release of certain hormones, including gastrin, which can affect gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion.

Section 2: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios
1. In a study conducted on conscious rats, proglumide was found to suppress the acid secretion in the stomach without affecting the gastrointestinal motility.
2. This means that proglumide can be used as an antacid without causing any side effects such as constipation or diarrhea.
3. In patients with diabetic gastroparesis, proglumide can be used to slow down the movement of food through the digestive tract, allowing more time for the stomach to empty and preventing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions to Teach Critical Thinking
1. Some people may argue that proglumide should not be used as an antacid because it can cause other side effects such as dizziness and headache. What do you think?
2. Can proglumide be used to treat other conditions related to gastrointestinal motility, such as irritable bowel syndrome? Why or why not?

Glossary:
- Gastrointestinal motility: The movement of food and other substances through the digestive tract.
- Gastric secretion: The production of stomach acid and other substances that help break down food.
- Proglumide: A drug that inhibits the release of certain hormones, including gastrin, which can affect gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, proglumide can be used as an effective antacid without affecting gastrointestinal motility. It can also be used to treat conditions such as diabetic gastroparesis and postoperative ileus. By understanding the effects of proglumide on gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion, we can make informed decisions about its use in various medical conditions.

Use of clinical pharmacists to reduce cefamandole, cefoxitin, and ticarcillin costs.
The financial impact of using cefamandole and cefoxitin rather than cefazolin and of using ticarcillin rather than carbenicillin in one institution was assessed; the effectiveness of clinical pharmacists in reducing the costs associated with these drugs also was determined. During Phase 1 (July 1, 1980-March 31, 1981), the numbers of intravenous piggyback cefazolin, cephalothin, cefamandole, cefoxitin, carbenicillin, and ticarcillin doses prepared were recorded. Quarterly purchase data for each drug were determined from invoice records. During Phase 2 (April 1, 1981-September 30, 1981), eight clinical pharmacists reviewed all patient charts for cefamandole, cefoxitin, and ticarcillin orders. If the indication for these orders was missing or considered inappropriate, the pharmacist contacted the prescriber and recommended substituting appropriate doses of cefazolin for cefamandole and cefoxitin and of carbenicillin for ticarcillin. The number of doses prepared and quarterly purchase data were collected as in Phase 1. The projected savings resulting from clinical pharmacist input relating to these drugs was calculated. Based on Phase 1 data, the total theoretical expense resulting from cefamandole and cefoxitin use instead of cefazolin and from ticarcillin use in place of carbenicillin was projected to be $233,448 annually. Cefamandole and cefoxitin accounted for 59.8 and 39.7% of total cephalosporin use in Phases 1 and 2, respectively. Ticarcillin accounted for 77.1% of the total ticarcillin and carbenicillin doses in Phase 1, and 16.6% in Phase 2. A projected annual savings of $156,756 was achieved because of clinical pharmacist input at a cost of $16,000 for time devoted to the effort. Clinical pharmacists were effective in reducing the use of cefamandole, cefoxitin, and ticarcillin in situations where cefazolin or carbenicillin could be substituted.

Lesson: Introduction to Clinical Pharmacists

## Section 1: What are Clinical Pharmacists?
Clinical pharmacists are healthcare professionals who specialize in the field of pharmacology. They work in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings to ensure that patients receive the most effective and safe medications possible.

## Section 2: Why are Clinical Pharmacists Important?
Clinical pharmacists play a crucial role in the healthcare system. They help to optimize drug therapy, prevent medication errors, and educate patients about their medications. By doing so, they can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

## Section 3: How do Clinical Pharmacists Work?
Clinical pharmacists work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses, to ensure that patients receive the best possible care. They may review a patient's medical record, check their medication orders, and provide recommendations to healthcare providers. They may also counsel patients on the proper use of their medications and answer any questions they may have.

## Section 4: Cost Savings with Clinical Pharmacists
By reviewing patient charts and recommending appropriate medication changes, clinical pharmacists can help to reduce healthcare costs. For example, if a patient is receiving an expensive medication when a cheaper alternative would be just as effective, the pharmacist may suggest the change to save money for both the patient and the healthcare system.

## Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, clinical pharmacists play a vital role in the healthcare system by ensuring that patients receive safe and effective medications. By working closely with other healthcare professionals and providing cost-saving recommendations, they can help to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

1. What is news?
Answer: News is information that is reported by the media about current events or happenings. It can be about politics, sports, entertainment, or any other topic that is considered newsworthy.

2. Types of news articles
Answer: There are several types of news articles, including:

- Hard news: This type of article reports on a recent event or happening. It is usually written in a factual and objective manner.
- Soft news: This type of article focuses on human interest stories or personal experiences. It is usually written in a more subjective and emotional manner.
- Feature news: This type of article provides in-depth coverage of a particular topic or issue. It is usually written in a more creative and engaging manner.

3. Structure of a news article
Answer: A typical news article follows a specific structure, which includes:

- Headline: This is the title of the article, which summarizes the main point of the story.
- Lead: This is the first sentence of the article, which introduces the topic and grabs the reader's attention.

Q:

Use of ellipses at the end of a passage

My actual passage is a bit involved, but I've had this come up a few times over the years, and I've never resolved the issue. So I'll give a generic passage. I posted this question on ELU but didn't get very far.
Mars, the Red Planet. But to the Romans, he was the God of War! Herein lies the story [?]
Imagine this as a prologue or at the end of a prologue.
A period doesn't seem right. If I use ellipses, three dots or four? If four, ... ., ...., or . ...?

A:

An ellipsis is always three dots. However, when used at the end of a sentence, a period is also used, meaning that the ellipsis appears to have four dots.
There appears to be different standard formats for the spacing between the period and the ellipsis depending on what it is being used for, whether you are referencing a quote for example. Unless you wanted to research the different standards, I would say simply choose one standard and be consistent with it.
As for when using an ellipsis is appropriate, in creative writing I tend to use it for when something is supposed to be left unfinished, such as a trailing thought. Your example, I would say, constitutes an appropriate usage, as the sentiment behind the sentence is unfinished, with the story following on from it.

textbook:
Lesson: Using Ellipses

Introduction:

Ellipses are three consecutive dots (...) used to indicate an omission, a pause, or a trailing off in a sentence. They are commonly used in literature, poetry, and creative writing to add emphasis, create suspense, or convey a sense of mystery. In this lesson, we will learn when and how to use ellipses properly in different types of writing.

Section 1: When to Use Ellipses

Ellipses can be used to indicate an omission or a pause in a sentence. For example:

- "She walked away slowly, leaving me wondering what could have been..."
- "He trailed off, lost in thought."

Ellipses can also be used to represent a character's thoughts or unspoken words:

- "She stared at him, her mind racing with all the things she wanted to say but couldn't find the words."

Section 2: How to Use Ellipses

There are different standards for spacing between the period and the ellipsis, so choose one and be consistent:

- With no space: "..."; "It's hard to say what he meant..."; "She left without saying goodbye, leaving me with a sense of loss..."
- With a space on both sides: "She left without saying goodbye..."; "He trailed off, lost in thought..."
- With a space after the first dot and without a space after the last dot: "She left without saying goodbye..."; "He trailed off, lost in thought."

Ellipses should not be used at the beginning or end of a sentence:

- "The sun set... as the sky turned orange." (Correct)
- "The sun...set as the sky turned orange." (Incorrect)

Section 3: Practical Examples

Let's take a look at some examples where ellipses can be used effectively:

- "I knew it was over when she stopped calling me 'baby.'"
- "He looked at me, his eyes full of sadness and regret, and I knew I'd never see him again."
- "She walked away slowly, leaving me wondering what could have been..."

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about the proper use of ellipses in writing. We covered when to use them, how to space them, and provided practical examples to illustrate their effectiveness. By applying these guidelines, our writing will be more engaging and expressive.

Glossary:

- Ellipsis: Three consecutive dots (...) used to indicate an omission, a pause, or a trailing off in a sentence.
- Period: A full stop placed at the end of a sentence to indicate that the sentence has finished.

text: With the object extensions of DB2, you can incorporate object-oriented concepts and methodologies into your relational database by extending DB2 with richer sets of data types and functions. With those extensions, you can store instances of object-oriented data types in columns of tables and operate on them using functions in SQL statements. In addition, you can control the types of operations that users can perform on those data types.. The object extensions that DB2 provides are:. Large objects (LOBs). Distinct types. User-defined functions. Schemas are qualifiers used for the object-relational extensions as well as stored procedures. They are used to qualify:. User-defined distinct types. User-defined functions.

textbook:
**Lesson: Object-Oriented Programming Concepts with DB2**

**Introduction:**

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses objects and their interactions to design applications and programs. OOP allows developers to create software that is reusable, modular, and easy to maintain. DB2 is a relational database management system that supports OOP concepts, making it possible to incorporate OOP into database design.

In this lesson, we will learn about the object extensions of DB2 and how they can be used to incorporate OOP concepts into database design. We will cover the following topics:

1. Large Objects (LOBs)
2. Distinct Types
3. User-Defined Functions
4. Schemas

**Large Objects (LOBs):**

Large Objects (LOBs) are a type of data that can store large amounts of information, such as images, videos, and documents. LOBs are useful because they allow developers to store data in a single location instead of breaking it up into multiple smaller pieces. This makes it easier to manage and maintain the data.

**Distinct Types:**

Distinct types are a type of data that allows developers to define their own data types. These types can be used to store complex data structures, such as trees or graphs. Distinct types are useful because they allow developers to create custom data types that fit their specific needs.

**User-Defined Functions:**

User-defined functions are functions that developers can create themselves. These functions can be used to perform complex calculations or manipulate data in ways that are not possible with standard SQL functions. User-defined functions are useful because they allow developers to create custom functions that fit their specific needs.

**Schemas:**

Schemas are qualifiers used for the object-relational extensions as well as stored procedures. They are used to qualify user-defined distinct types and user-defined functions. Schemas help to organize and manage the data in a database.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, the object extensions of DB2 allow developers to incorporate OOP concepts into their database design. By using LOBs, distinct types, user-defined functions, and schemas, developers can create more complex and flexible databases that can handle a wide range of data types and operations. These features make DB2 a powerful tool for developers who need to create robust and scalable databases.

## Section 1: Theory

Genetics is the study of genes, which are the basic units of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA, which is a long chain of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. There are four types of nucleotides: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). The sequence of these nucleotides determines the information contained in a gene.

## Section 2: Questions and Answers

**Question:** How does DNA replication occur?

**Answer:** DNA replication occurs during cell division when the cell's nucleus divides into two identical nuclei. This process involves unwinding the DNA double helix, separating the two strands, and using each strand as a template to create a new complementary strand.

**Question:** What is a gene?

**Answer:** A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein. Genes are responsible for the traits that are passed down from parents to offspring.

## Section 3: Practical Examples

One practical example of genetics is the use of DNA fingerprinting to identify criminals. In this process, DNA is extracted from a crime scene and compared to DNA samples from potential suspects. If the DNA from the crime scene matches the DNA from a suspect, it provides evidence that the suspect was present at the scene.

Another practical example is the use of genetic testing to diagnose diseases. For instance, if a person has a family history of breast cancer, they may choose to undergo genetic testing to determine if they carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, which significantly increases the risk of developing breast cancer.

## Glossary

- DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, and reproduction of all living organisms.
- Gene: A segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein.
- Nucleotide: The basic building block of DNA and RNA, consisting of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we have learned about the basics of genetics, including what DNA is and how it replicates. We also explored practical examples of how genetics is used in forensic science and medical diagnostics. By understanding the principles of genetics, we can apply this knowledge to new problems and develop a deeper appreciation for the role of genetics in our lives.


text: The structure of flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) consists of an organic electro luminescence materials layer and conductive or semi-conductive polymers layer on the flexible transparent substrate, which emit light in response to electric current. In this study, various water soluble inks based on PEDOT: PSS which have different surface tension were formulated. The substrate surface energy that was printed with formulated inks was 49 dyne/cm. The results show that the altering inks surface tension has significant effect on the printed film properties and quality. The optimum amount of surface tension was about 47 dyne/cm along with the good quality of ink-jet printed film. The other properties of OLEDs such as transparency and lightening were acceptable.

Lesson: Introduction to Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

**Topic:** What are Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)?

**Definition:** Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are a type of thin-film technology that uses organic materials to create light. They consist of an organic electro luminescence materials layer and conductive or semi-conductive polymers layer on a flexible transparent substrate.

**Explanation:** OLEDs are made up of organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is passed through them. These organic compounds are sandwiched between two conductive layers, one of which is typically made of a metal like gold or aluminum. When a voltage is applied to the OLED, electrons are injected into the organic layer, and as they recombine with holes, energy is released in the form of photons, which create light.

## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

text: Core Curriculum. .jpg). CDS Fifth and Sixth Graders study the density of fluids, energy transformations, and KMT (Kinetic Molecular Theory). Their culminating project for this particular learning—building hot air balloons out of tissue paper. The students witnessed how molecules gain kinetic energy when thermal energy is added, causing them to move apart from each other, which makes them less dense. In other words, they launched their balloons! They sailed over our 9-acre campus, some flying for 600 feet., MakerSpace, Art, Music, and Library.. Our students receive significant exposure to each core subject every day, a fact that sets CDS squarely apart from its peer schools..

Lesson: Understanding Density and Energy Transformations

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about density and energy transformations. We will explore how molecules move apart from each other when thermal energy is added, making them less dense. We will also learn about the different types of energy transformations and how they relate to our daily lives.

Section 1: Density
Density is the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance. It is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The formula for density is:

Density = Mass / Volume

We can use this formula to calculate the density of different substances. For example, water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) at 4°C. This means that 1 cubic centimeter of water weighs 1 gram.

Activity: Calculate the density of different substances
1. Find the mass and volume of a piece of wood and a piece of plastic.
2. Use the formula for density to calculate the density of each substance.
3. Compare the densities of the wood and plastic.

Section 2: Energy Transformations
Energy can be transformed from one form to another. There are four main types of energy transformations: nuclear, chemical, electrical, and thermal.

Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. This energy can be released in the form of radiation or heat.

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. This energy can be released when these bonds are broken or formed.

Electrical energy is the energy stored in the movement of electrons. This energy can be transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or light.

Thermal energy is the energy stored in the motion of molecules. This energy can be transformed into other forms of energy, such as electrical or mechanical energy.

Activity: Identify different types of energy transformations
1. Think of an example of nuclear energy transformation.
2. Think of an example of chemical energy transformation.
3. Think of an example of electrical energy transformation.
4. Think of an example of thermal energy transformation.

Section 3: Applying Density and Energy Transformations in Real Life
Understanding density and energy transformations can help us make informed decisions in our daily lives. For example, we can use our knowledge of density to determine which materials are best for insulating our homes. We can also use our knowledge of energy transformations to design more efficient forms of transportation.

Activity: Apply your knowledge of density and energy transformations to a real-life scenario
Imagine you are designing a new type of car that uses less fuel. How could you use your knowledge of density and energy transformations to make this car more efficient?

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about density and energy transformations. We explored how molecules move apart from each other when thermal energy is added, making them less dense. We also learned about the different types of energy transformations and how they relate to our daily lives. By understanding these concepts, we can make informed decisions in our daily lives and design more efficient technologies.
