Dbz Kamehasutra Movie

The Simpsons: That's not it!

Well, I am indignant, as the English dubbing school, although good, is not infallible.

After wishing for a long time I managed to see the Simpsons movie. Pretty good, although not enough, much more than an episode of television (well, the movie itself is full of hints about it). But what struck me is how they have turned the EPA . EPA

not Environmental Protection Company, but Protection Agency Environmental (Environmental Protection Agency). So why the tantrum? Therefore quite simple: America has always had a very bad reputation in the field of environmental conservation, but what we often forget is that they have been pioneers in many respects, for example, the first Park Natural (well, Protected Natural Area) was in the U.S., or the same Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA, a procedure widely used and very important environmental level) is also American.

The EPA is not an ornament of the Federal Administration, but a real tool of great importance in monitoring the environment, regardless of political color to paint the White House. No end to seem fair to forget this.

The illusion of bacteria

"Xxxxx scientists dream of a world free of bacteria." So says a famous brand of toothbrushes (do not get because I do not agree, not because they want to advertise).

Perfect, wonderful observation, a bacteria-free world would be a world without diseases such as meningitis, tuberculosis, tetanus, tooth ... but without yogurt, without many natural vitamins, diabetics would have it more difficult to get insulin. Forget many antibiotics, drugs and other chemicals. Campari mushrooms at home wrecking crops. There would be no nitrogen fixation, or degradation of organic matter, not even milk (cow)! and methanogenic bacteria are the stomachs of cows who degrade cellulose. Might not have oxygen to breathe and many nutrients unavailable to the ecosystem: that is, any catastrophe.

What are bacteria? For simplifying it a bit much are some "bags" of DNA and enzymes, extremely adaptable and versatile. Have been able to adapt to almost any ecosystem, no matter how bleak it may seem, to a wide range of pH, temperature, concentrations of compounds.

can live without oxygen, without breathing, breathing sulfates, even breathing CO2, are capable of photosynthesis in the same way that plants, and different ones. Without doubt, are the true masters of the planet. Be extinguished humanity, all species may become extinct animals and plants, all fungi, the seas will evaporate ... but will always be bacteria (with the only requirement that water and nutrients that can be used).

They are a big unknown. Their classification is based primarily on their biochemistry, so traditionally the main method of knowing has been growing. It prepares a "soup" with the nutrients that the bacteria need (indeed, many of the most used prefabricated soup smell ... I kept wanting to try it ...) and perform specific tests. There are many of them and are quite striking: culture media that change color, fluorescence ... Do not usually watch microscope as it may seem. But many bacteria are not cultivable, or do not know their culture medium appropriate or can not be reconstructed. Worse, the media are generally of a single crop, and of course man. We can not know how they work in a natural environment.

The genetic revolution and structural biology has enabled the development of new techniques. For example, the capture of genes. Never mind that bacteria can not grow when you can grow your genes.

But I digress I think what he meant: the bacteria are everywhere and are essential to our survival. So I do not understand why they have such a bad reputation. Think we can dare to destroy them all (even if only the pathogenic) is delirious as Hogward Hughes, let's face it, long ago lost the battle.

Random variables and distributions: Statistics For Dummies 7

Dear readers of the Fund. First of all apologize for being a bit lost lately, and even more have been so neglected this section. But back to her and with a passionate theme: the laws of probability.

Let's define a few concepts. We had talked about what was a variable, a characteristic of a particular phenomenon. Today we realize a little more.

Imagine a population, such as the population of a country. Now define a set of events, such as hair color that is xi. As everyone will have a certain color hair, there will be a specific frequency for each color, right?
This means that in this population, the total probability is distributed among the different colors (or xi), or what is, hair color has a probability distribution determined for this population. Moreover, this distribution may be typical of that population, for example people in Spain, compared with that of another country, as inhabitants of Sweden. are distinct populations with different probability distributions.

However it may happen that the probability distribution of hair color of a population is the same as that of another population, for example between Sweden and Norway (for instance). That is, both populations follow the same probability distribution.

course we can not go to all the people of a country to look at his hair color. What we do is take a sample , A group of people to look at his hair color, and thus try to understand the distribution of the population. But if we take a sample of the South can give us some different results than if we take in the north (and talk about the bias ). Still, if we get a significant enough sample, we can reach a reasonable approximation of what happens to the population. Conclusion: the true probability distribution is something that almost never know with complete and absolute precision .

Mathematically it is difficult to work with colors instead of numbers, therefore, to work mathematically with the distribution probability (since the statistic is, after all a branch of mathematics) need to introduce another concept random variable. Imagine

other population, the results of successive rolls of a die. In a particular shot can be 6 elementary events, which leaves a 1, a 2, 3 ... and up to 6. A random variable is simply assigned a number to each event, and how easy is that when you get a 1, x = 1, where a 2, x = 2 .... for the six elementary events. But it has to be as simple as that. There are no elementary events, which are compounds. For example comes out even or odd (if is odd and = 1, and if even y = 0). Or if we are interested only 6, the number of times we were out in successive runs (z = number of 6 to go when you roll a die n times). That is, when something happens, give a number (the one you want)

random variables, and variables that are good, can be continuous or discrete, quantitative or qualitative ... For example, in a survey conducted to students in a class, can be very satisfied, satisfied, normal, dissatisfied and not satisfied. A random variable can be very satisfied that we give it a 4 and not satisfied by 0, and the rest of degrees corresponding values. It is a discrete variable can only take certain numbers (no, for example, 4.3456324), qualitative, and that numerically it means nothing, and ordinal, because although the numbers mean nothing, the order itself.

Another example is the random variable length of the tail of cats. Thus, when the tail is 32.5134 cm, x = 32.5134. This is a quantitative continuous variable.

And all you want to invent. It's that simple, one possible event, a numerical value. Let us see how it fit into the probability distribution.

We said that in a probability distribution, each event is assigned a probability. That is, each random variable we give a value between 0 and 1. Or that is, the probability function is function of the random variable. But not all the functions they serve. They can only give positive values, since the probability is never negative, and the total area under the curve is worth 1 (come on, the integral from minus infinity to infinity)

This area is the probability that a value for the variable randomly between the two values \u200b\u200bthat determine the area. Mathematically using an integral, which is a calculation that gives you exactly infinitesimal areas between two extremes.

is called Distribution Function to the function tells you the probability that a value lower x. And this equation is always increasing (because probabilities can only be added) and converges to 1. But hey, this is something quite abstract ...

Another feature is the amount . It tells you the probability that just x, where x is a random variable Discrete . As an example, the dice, the probability that a given value is 1 / 6, so mathematically

f (x) = 1 / 6 when x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
f (x) = 0 for other values \u200b\u200bof x

That is a function of size (quite Sencillito).

But continuous variables are a bit pesky, and that the probability of a given event is 0. But how is this possible?: Simple, when continuous, albeit finite, have infinite values \u200b\u200b(between 0 and 1 are infinite numbers, get to play with the decimal ...). As the total probability must be 1, and must be shared among these infinite values \u200b\u200b1 from infinity is 0.

But do not worry because we did not stay with the c *** in the air for continuous we density functions. which gives us a fairly accurate idea of \u200b\u200bwhat may be the probability of a given event.

So you know, all the probabilities of some events we can represent them as functions. And although there are features of many types, nature can be wonderful, but unoriginal, so they always repeat certain functions well studied, which are the Laws of Distribution. The most important: the normal or Gaussian distribution, but there are a few more, and those will be the subject of future entries.

If you have remaining questions, I will be delighted to meet them. Maybe the post has been rougher than I would have liked ... but what follows is more entertaining.
