Nick shows a video of a motion capture technique used in the latest video games. He stresses the need for such innovation in order to compete in a booming market.
-
The head TA of Introduction to Chemical Engineering (E20) fills in for Professor Channing Robertson and discusses how to construct a pharmacokinetics model using a virtual human "tank" model.
-
Professor Sylvia Ceyer investigates chemical reaction mechanisms: rate, order, molecularity, steady-state approximation, and rate determing steps.
-
The head TA for Introduction to Chemical Engineering (E20) fills in for Professor Channing Robinson and discusses a case study on the process of making high fructose corn syrup.

Professor Sylvia Ceyer explains the standard Gibbs free energy of formation and its relationship to thermodynamic stability. The Second Law of Thermodynamics is defined as it relates to controlling spontaneity with temperature. The lecture concludes by defining the thermodynamic equilibrium constant and the reaction quotient/direction of change in a chemical equilibrium.
-
Professor Sylvia Ceyer covers radioactive decay and its various uses in modern medicine. Second order half-life, as a second order integrated rate law, is then discussed. The lecture concludes with the overlap of kinetics and chemical equilibrium: the equilibrium constant, elementary reactions, and an example, the decomposition of ozone.

Turner explains that while console teams can be upwards of 100 people, GameBoy games can be built with 10-15 people. This core group of people is divided up into engineering, art, animation, game design, and production. The product cycle was optimized to get the best product out as quickly as possible by condensing the concept cycle, focusing on a target, and rapidly incorporating feedback, she says.

August 31, 2006 presentation by Julie Baker and Hank Greely for the Stanford University Office of Science Outreach's Summer Science Lecture Series. Julie Baker, Assistant Professor of Genetics and Hank Greely, Professor of Law and Genetics discuss human embryonic stem cells, one of the most promising, most complicated and most controversial areas of contemporary biomedical research.

Review. Professor Sylvia Ceyer reviews the main topics covered throughout the second half of the course including kinetics, transition metals, VSEPR theory, acid-base equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, and oxidation/reduction. Professor Ceyer uses the case study of methionine synthase to supplement the discussion.

The Big Bang created the physical universe. Of course life is part of this physical universe, but the immediate building blocks of life are chemicals. Before the Big Bang, words such as “time” had no meaning, but even in the first few minutes there could be no chemistry since there were no atoms. The nuclei of some of the lighter elements formed within minutes, atoms some time later, and elements heavier than lithium were forged in the sup...more
