New Year's Reunion With FacultyChemical research students taking Chemistry REU Summer 2020 in the world's leading universities are making impressive gains in their engineering and biological sciences programs. This is due to the great attention paid to the infrastructure, technological development and faculty support. With these facilities, these PhD scientists are able to focus more on innovative ideas and foster the growth of advanced and cutting-edge research.The world-class facilities that have been built for Chemical Research University, a once all-male organization, are a sure sign of the support of its outstanding materials science professors. An overwhelming number of highly qualified academic staff members, a well established office structure and a variety of modern technology resources that span research analysis to laboratory support, are one of the major advantages that make this Institution of excellent repute. The support of the university allows students to grow and ex cel in their chosen field of science. Although an area of expertise is required for chemical research students to undertake doctoral programs, they can easily earn a post-doc position by paying the costs.Chemists and other senior professors form part of the reu family. Students can interact with them in the classroom and campus resources such as books and journals to promote the advancement of their careers. These libraries provide materials for various branches of Chemical Research University such as environment, industrial, and agricultural chemistry, and plant and animal sciences.Aside from the universities, there are also numerous local institutes that offer Chemical Research University scholarships and fellowships. In fact, it is not very difficult to find a good academic institution offering a good program. These institutions offer advanced funding and maintenance that enable the student to pursue their dream. Chemical research students can receive these financial resources by accepting the responsibilities of attending the institution's varsity.After securing the aforementioned amenities, there are numerous other ways for students to take part in research and gain insights that will make their future to be brighter. Besides attending classes, they can also set up seminars and conduct research projects on their own.Doing a few things on their own, such as working on scientific projects, might prove to be a challenge for some. But research assistants are available for those who need help. A study helper or two will ensure that you can focus on your work and earn a decent salary while working at home. You can also work part time with a private company while gaining knowledge about their policies and job description.When planning for your studies, Chemical Research students should know that time is limited. Time constraints are not uncommon among students. These financial aid will come in handy when students are short of funds in some areas.

Online Trapezoidal Rule Tutors

Online Trapezoidal Rule Tutors Integration is a very important concept in calculus and the main purpose of finding integrals of various functions is to find the area of the region covered under the graph of the function. Trapezoidal or Trapezium rule is a method in which we can calculate the area under the graph of a given function. In other words, we are evaluating the integral of the given function since finding area implies finding integral! In Trapezoidal rule, the region under the graph is divided into several trapeziums and the area is estimated. Example 1: Evaluate (2x) dx where x is going from 0 to 1. Here the values of x are divided into 4 equal intervals as 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1. These numbers are regularly spaced, and hence the space, h = 0.25. If x= 0, then (2x) = 0 If x= 0.25, then (2x) = 0.707 If x= 0.50, then (2x) = 1 If x= 0.75, then (2x) = 1.22 If x= 1, then (2x) = 1.414 Applying the trapezoid rule we get: 1/2* 0.25* (0+ 1.414+ 2(0.707+ 1+ 1.22)) This gives the area= 0.9085 Example 2: Evaluate (3x+ 1) dx where x is going from 0 to 1. Here the values of x are divided into 4 equal intervals as 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1. These numbers are regularly spaced, and hence the space, h = 0.25. If x= 0, then (3x+ 1) = 1 If x= 0.25, then (3x+ 1) = 1.75 If x= 0.50, then (3x+ 1) = 2.50 If x= 0.75, then (3x+ 1) = 3.25 If x= 1, then (3x+ 1) = 2 Applying the trapezoid rule we get: 1/2* 0.25* (1+ 1.75+ 2(1.75+ 2.50+ 3.25)) This gives the area= 2.22

What Math Study Habits You Need to Develop

What Math Study Habits You Need to Develop 0SHARESShare Math is a skill and it needs to be learnt on the development of some basic study habits.  A student needs procedural learning and regular study methods for succeeding in the subject and consult an online math tutor. What are basic study habits that lead to Math success? Be an active learner: Participate in classes with interest. Attend classes regularly. Students should not hesitate to ask questions. Do your work regularly: Homework should be done every day. Do not postpone. It is because Math concepts are interconnected and need previous learning material for the present class. A day’s missing will lead to a small hole in understanding and the hole will be bigger when you miss the class for a week. Find out when you need help: You need not wait for the eve of the test to check whether you need help from some expert, teacher or peer.

Viewing all these factors, you need to seek college Math homework help from expert tutors and avoid pitfalls in college Math learning. Needless to say how important Math assignment help from virtual platform is: It is highly recommended for the following students Lack in the ground knowledge of topics Not good in the fundamental study skills Have Math anxiety and phobia Who have missed their classes for a long time No time for doing homework assignments. Tutor Pace provides excellent tutoring help for those who struggle with Math and need help for positive outputs in the subject. [starbox id=admin]

3 Mistakes Youre Making as Youre Learning Guitar Chords

3 Mistakes Youre Making as Youre Learning Guitar Chords Suzy S. Dont make learning guitar chords any tougher that it has to be! Read on to check yourself with some helpful advice from Tulsa, OK teacher Chris F... I have been teaching guitar for several years now. Every now and then I evaluate the effectiveness of my teaching methods. What Ive discovered is that there are many bad ways to go about teaching and learning guitar chords. Based off my experience, here are some ineffective ways people try to learn chords: They try to learn too many chords at once (and dont learn any of them well). They dont use a capo. They don’t use Roman Numerals. Let me break these problems down one by one and suggest some alternative habits that will get you learning guitar chords and playing better in no time. Trying to learn too many chords at once   95% of popular music is made up of four kinds of chords. Often, these chords are G, C, D, Em. These are the first four guitar chords that you should know like the back of your hand. Countless songs in all genres can be played with these four chords. If you can play these four chords quickly and well, you’re better off than someone that can play 15 chords just alright. The  next two chords you should learn are Am and F. Those six chords will open up countless songs. Keep in mind that you’ll run across chords like Em7 and Cadd9. Those chords have additional  details which will be easy to add down the road. For now, just play the first letter in the chord. Similarly, chords like G/B and D/F# should just be read as the first letter for now. Don’t make the mistake of getting caught up in too many little details. Learn the six chords above and play as much as you can with them. Not using a capo A capo is a device for guitar and other fretted instruments that moves all the pitches on the guitar up a certain amount (e.g. up two frets or five frets). They are inexpensive and are absolutely essential for learning guitar chords and songs. With a capo, countless songs can be played with the six chords mentioned above. The songs are still playable without a capo, but much harder chords are required to play them. Fortunately, the six chords above are easier to play  and  sound better than the non-capoed chords. Invest in a capo and you’ll use it all the time. Not using Roman Numerals Roman Numerals in music is a way of thinking about chords like numbers. For example, when we’re in the key of G (all that means now is that we’re using G, C, D, and Em together),  G = I, C = IV, D = V, and Em = vi. These numbers are based off of the musical  alphabet. G is 1, A is 2, B is 3, C is 4, D is 5, and E is 6. These numbers represent something much more important than G, C, D, and Em. In fact, it’s these numbers (and no so  much the chords) that are going through the brains of the pros when they’re playing through a song. Why these numbers are used will become more and more clear down the road. Memorizing and practicing them is the important thing to start with as a  beginner. To practice this, take ten or more chord charts and replace G, C, D, and Em with I, IV, V, and vi. For example: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. (G C G) You’ll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away. (C G Em G D G) You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. (I IV I) You’ll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away. (IV I vi I V I) If you get these numbers in your head now, you’ll learn songs much more faster down the road. It may seem pointless, but it’s one of the most useful things you can do as a guitarist. There is much more to be said about Roman Numerals, but that will have to left to another article. Avoid these three mistakes and you’ll have a huge advantage as a guitarist and a musician. Happy playing! Chris F. teaches guitar, piano, music theory, and more in Tulsa, OK. He has been active in collegiate percussion ensembles, marching and concert bands, various choirs, chamber music groups, jazz combos, an award winning jazz big band, bluegrass combos, drum and bugle corps, and private lessons on several instruments, as both a section leader and as a teacher.

Speed Reading Can it Really Be Done

Speed Reading â€" Can it Really Be Done Suzy S. Want to learn how to read faster? Tempted by all the promises of speed reading programs and classes? Find out if theres truth behind the strategies in this guest post by Ann Arbor, MI teacher  Elaina R Imagine a library full of frantic-looking students, their eyes darting back and forth as they flip through textbooks. These students are attempting the controversial art of speed reading. Unfortunately, many of these students will probably find that they remember very little of the information they are so busily scanning. This begs the question: do these strategies for learning how to read faster really work? Or is it a fantasy thought up by busy students? Let’s explore the concept of speed reading, whether or not it works, and what might work better. What is Speed Reading? Speed reading involves quickly glancing through text. The goal of this type of reading is not to absorb every word. Instead, readers want to quickly understand the gist of the text. They want to be able to regurgitate important themes and summarize the text, even if they miss the details. As you can imagine, speed reading only works in certain situations. Unfortunately, reading a textbook isn’t one of those situations. There are certain things you cannot scan through with good results. Speed reading is best for simple reading, such as: • Mainstream news articles • Advertising emails and letters Speed reading is bad for complex reading, such as: • Textbooks • Scientific articles • Literature Speed Reading Techniques For lighter reading, here are some tried-and-true techniques that can help you glean the overall themes quickly. Although these techniques probably won’t help you read Chaucer any faster, they might help you clear your inbox or read the news in less time. The glance-over: Look over chunks of text a few lines at a time, picking out important elements (such as nouns and numbers) as you go. The diagonal: Cut a diagonal through each paragraph with your eyes, searching for these important key elements. Just read faster: Look at each line individually, but at a very rapid pace. Better Than Speed Reading If you are tempted to try speed reading in an academic setting (you forgot to study for the big test, for example), know that you arent going to learn how to read faster in one night. Instead, here are a few techniques that may be more useful to you: Read just a hair faster: Instead of attempting to read at lightning speed, go for just a slightly brisker pace than usual. Don’t go overboard â€" just be conscious of your speed and, while still reading and processing each word, see if you can handle a few more words per minute. Chapter summaries: Many textbooks come equipped with summaries at the end of each chapter or section. Others have key words grouped at the ends of chapters. Use these! If you have to study a whole textbook in one night, read all of the summaries and look up any specific topics that are confusing. Headings and tables of contents: You can also go through textbooks and look just at the headings and subheadings. Alternately, take a gander at the table of contents. Use this as a guide to help you revisit (and properly read!) the hardest sections. Study buddies: Get together with classmates, compare notes, and test each other. If you don’t know where to start, try randomly flipping to a page in the book and asking each other questions from it. If one section is no problem, move on to the next one. This goes without saying, but the best way to get to know the material is to actually read it. Learn how to manage your time so that you can complete assigned readings, take notes, and really absorb the material before crunch time. Not only is a natural reading pace more effective, it can also be fun. If you have trouble managing your time and studying well, consider hiring a tutor to help you hone these skills. Elaina R. is a writer, editor, singer, and voice teacher based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Her book  Slaying Your Admissions Essay Dragon  shows how to write application essays that are actually fun to read. Elaina has served as an editor for several notable books as well, including NFL great Adrian Peterson’s autobiography  Don’t Dis My Abilities. Learn more about Elaina here!

Soft Skills Every Introvert Needs to Master - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Soft Skills Every Introvert Needs to Master - Introvert Whisperer Soft Skills Every Introvert Needs to Master We as introvert often consider the fact that maybe it is too late for us to make a change in ourselves. Instead of harboring such unproductive thoughts, we need a positive frame of mind about practicing and perfecting new soft skills. So what are these soft skills introverts need to master? Develop Organized Thought Process Communication can sometimes become repetitive and redundant. You have to find ways to make it fun and lively. You must be cognizant of the words you want to use to express your thoughts. There is no harm in taking half a second more to process your feelings. Since introverts, we need to make sure that we can communicate what we want to say explicitly. The momentary silence is often helpful in letting you focus on the conversation instead of slipping away words that you may not have wanted to say. Stop Complaining and Start Smiling   If you have ever read the book, “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living?” by Dale Carnegie, you must have read the chapter focusing on “not to cry over spilled milk.” This particular chapter discusses the story of a professor who teaches people how to stop worrying. Every time the professor walks into the class, he has a glass of milk on the table. He picks up that glass and drops it onto the floor. Everyone in the classroom becomes uneasy at what the professor just did. Later, the professor explains to the students, no matter how much he may whine, complain, or regret, that would not bring back the milk. Therefore, always smile to radiate positivity that can help everyone stay positive and focused. Learn to Forgive Yourself   We often face stressful situations in life where we are unable to make a decision. However, we may not always make smart choices. Sometimes, we tend to make decisions that do not go the way we would have liked. It is OK not to make all the decisions perfect in life. We must give room to ourselves to accept our mistakes and grow out of them. There is no point living in the shadows of past regrets. Unless we can break the shackles of the memories of our bad decisions, we will keep on struggling to find a way forward. Learn to forgive yourself and move forward with all your heart, passion and tenacity to surmount challenges in life. Practice Starting Conversations by Asking Questions   Sometimes, we introverts are too shy to break the ice and start a conversation. Some individuals may not agree. But many believe that it is difficult to start a new discussion, particularly with a stranger or person who we do not know that well. One way of doing that is by asking questions and getting inquisitive about other people’s lives. When you take an interest in other person’s life, they would be more than happy to share their stories. They would be able to share their observations and would be glad to enjoy your company. You would often read the usual career related soft skills that people often ask us to master. But as an introvert person, most of us have these non-existent fears or limitations that if we can overcome, can help us grow as individuals. Author Bio: Let me emphasize that Self-Promotion doesn’t have to be obnoxious to be effective.  But, if you don’t Self-Promote you, who will?  If you ever want to get ahead, you have to learn how to Self-Promote. I want to help you accelerate your career by connecting you with your Free Instant Access to my video that shows you simple, yet effective ways to Self-Promote. Start watching now by clicking here!

A Day in the Life at Cornell University

A Day in the Life at Cornell University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Stephanie is a Houston tutor specializing in Literature tutoring, History tutoring, Essay Editing tutoring, and much more. She graduated from Cornell University in 2004 with a Bachelors degree in Sociology. Check out her review of her alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Stephanie: Cornell is located in the town of Ithaca, New York. The area immediately surrounding campus is referred to as College Town with Ithaca proper located just down the hill from the campus. It is a beautiful campus with rolling hills, gorges, and waterfalls. The campus is very safe, but you do need to use common sense when walking at night. The campus is divided according to schools and colleges. Each school or college within the university has its own quad or central location. On-campus bus transportation is convenient and Cornell students can purchase special bus passes for semester or annual use. Students also walk or bike to class. If you plan to walk or bike, be prepared for cold winters good boots are a must! Most of the upperclassmen, especially those who live off campus, typically have cars, but parking can be tricky on campus. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Stephanie: I felt that all of my professors, advisers, and TAs were accessible I just had to make an appointment or attend office hours. Since class sizes can vary tremendously depending on majors and colleges, I would highly recommend going to office hours to develop a rapport with the professor. This is especially true if you are interested in a particular subject or if you want to work with a particular professor later on in your collegiate life. A pre-existing relationship with a professor is also helpful if you choose to undertake a thesis because you select your own advisor. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Stephanie: All of the freshmen live together on North Campus and there are a variety of housing and dining options depending on personal preference. Answers that you provide to university polls on lifestyle and personality type will likely determine what type of housing environment in which you are placed. You can also request a certain dormitory or housing option. The dining halls on campus are first rate and accommodate every type of diet. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Stephanie: Cornells academics are highly respected and you will find top-notch professors and staff in every major and in every college. I was accepted to Cornells College of Arts and Sciences as an English major but switched majors halfway through my sophomore year to Sociology. Switching majors was easy since I was switching intra-college. It is possible to switch majors inter-college, but you will need to work closely with the registrar and your advisors to ensure that all of your academic requirements are satisfied. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Stephanie: Making friends at Cornell is a breeze! The student body is large and diverse, and there will definitely be people who have the same interests as you do! There is Greek life on campus, but there are so many other student groups that going Greek is by no means mandatory in order to feel accepted and develop close bonds with your peers. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Stephanie: The Career Center is fantastic and Cornell has a robust on-campus recruiting and interviewing initiative. All of the top companies and non-profits come to Cornell to interview. In addition, there are career fairs and the alumni network is very strong. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Stephanie: There are lots of spaces to study to fit every preference. Typically, you will find your favorite spot by the end of exams first semester. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Stephanie: Ithaca and College Town boast an impressive collection of restaurants, theatres, and bars and pubs. Cornell also has the Johnson Art Museum, the Ornithology Lab, a rare book collection, and many other state-of-the-art public resources. Cornell does a great job of bringing in music, theatre, and comedy acts to campus, as well as prominent speakers. For example, while I was at Cornell, I saw No Doubt play a show, went to see Jon Stewart, and President Bill Clinton delivered my commencement address. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Stephanie: Cornell is the largest Ivy League school with a student body of around 13,000, but the way the university divides itself by colleges makes it feel much smaller. Class size varies depending on subject matter and the particular college. Large classes will typically include both seminar (where new materials are presented) and a section that is taught by a TA with a class size of 10-15 (where material is reviewed). VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Stephanie: I dont think I can think of just one experience that I loved! I absolutely adored my time at Cornell I really did not want to leave. I found that everything, from the friends that I made to the instruction that I received, were more than I could have hoped for.

Social services were alerted and the boys were taken away from their parents pending a decision by the court.After being assessed by a psychologist, the brothers were allowed to go home to their parents.Although the ethics behind the Stroes’ story is hotly debated, medical professionals advise against strength training before children have stopped growing.This is because lifting heavy weights can put too much pressure on their bones, which are not yet fully developed.Personal Training for Competitions: is the Pressure Too Much?Regardless of the athlete’s age, the pressure to succeed in competition is undeniable.Due to the nature of competition, candidates may spend a lot of time being critical of themselves and focussing on the big win.However, is this amount of pressure healthy for young minds?For teenagers, finding a personal trainer or online personal trainer can be a good move in the run-up to a competition.As an accredited fitness professional, your personal fitness trainer will be there to:Improve physical abilityProvide a tailored nutrition and exercise programs  that focus on the athlete’s needsAdvise on the most efficient training methodsFind the right time of day to incorporate trainingDiscuss progress towards fitness goalsA surprising number of parents act as coaches who act to train their own children.However, most of these parents have not sat any exams to gain relevant qualifications and do not hold a personal trainer certification.This introduced health risks, as the child may be pushed too far â€" something a certified personal trainer would know how to avoid.A study carried out in 2008 showed that the more positive a relationship a child has with their parents, the better the child performs in competition.However, a sporting parent-child relationship can also be harmful, as some parents will be tempted to live their sporting lives through their children.Avoid the risk of becoming a pushy parent by finding a private sports coach for your child ¦ source: Pixabay -

this goes especially for young girls.Before this age, aim to focus on cardiovascular endurance training instead.And don’t neglect your fitness nutrition!Many young athletes are tempted to take nutritional supplements to speed up their progress, but don’t be fooled â€" this can do more harm than good!In addition to not helping results, these supplements can be bad for your health and should be avoided.Instead, why not focus on looking at your normal diet?Learn about how nutrition contributes to physiology. You may add eggs to your breakfast because of their protein, for example.You should also remember to stretch after exercise.Even though a lot of people tend to think that youngsters are suppler and therefore recover from exercise more quickly, stretching can save you the discomfort of post-workout stiffness.So, make sure you find out how to stretch your muscles effectively and incorporate stretching into your workout warm-down.Adopting healthy habits such as these will serve you throughout your fitness career.Group Fitness ClassesRunning, cycling and swimming are simple and natural ways to tone and build muscle.These big and small group activities also happen to be low-risk and the most fun and rewarding for children to do.Playing basketball with a group of friends, jumping into a swimming pool, and playing tag â€" these are all ways children can unknowingly build muscle whilst playing.Group training can be the most motivating and enjoyable ¦ source: Pixabay - Galina92 37941221However, there are certain situations where hours of training are required.If the child is enrolled in a sports club and competes for a team, there are plenty of coaches that can help with training alongside their group fitness instructor.But make sure that the child isn’t under too much pressure to succeed!Personal training sessions are a great complement to any other training the child may be doing, as they work on mentality as well as physical performance.Personal fitness training should be little and often, so 1 to 2 hours per week should be enough.Training Options for YoungstersThe vast majority of gyms and fitness clubs have a minimum age requirement of around 16 years old and ask for parental consent before teenagers are allowed to register with them. But there are a variety of small exercises that don't put too much strain on your body that you can do between classes at school or at work if you are in training.There are also many exercises you can do at home using your own body weight.One such example is press-ups.When you’re starting out, be gentle with yourself. This will help you avoid injury and keep you motivated.If you’re looking to get into a training routine, why not start by doing press-ups in the evenings?If you’re not sure about the press-up method, here are some simple pointers:Lay on your front and place your hands on the floor, underneath your shouldersLean on your toes or your knees, depending on your desired level of difficultyBend and extend your elbows, lifting your body towards and away from the floorTry to let your chest nearly touch the floor when you come down, without releasing your body weightMake sure you keep your back straight throughout the exercise, this should work your core and your armsFor those in the Manchester area, check out all personal trainer Manchester.Don’t forget that your body is still growing and that it will react negatively to being pushed too far, so take the time to develop and recover, and look after yourself!
