Rank My ProfessorMonday December 11th 2006, 12:48 pm Filed under: College, Tips, Ivy LeagueAre online professor rating sites even useful?
I’ve been reading about these new “grade your professor” web sites (Pick-A-Prof and Rate my Professors) and, while I think the basic idea is good, I have mixed feelings about their ultimate usefulness.

Development of Ova (Female Gametes)
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
The primary oocytes formed at birth (no more will be made, ever), and start meiosis I and are arrested in Prophase I until puberty, during which time many of the primary oocytes regress. Once puberty starts, ONE primary oocyte, every month, will complete meiosis I, resulting in the formation of a secondary oocyte and a polar body. The secondary oocyte starts meiosis II and again stops, this time at Metaphase II. During ovulation, the secondary Read more

Logs: How to Derive Henderson-Hasselbalch and Calculate pH Without a Calculator
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Calculating logs without a calculator is not as difficult as you might expect it to be. First, you should be familiar with the following log rules:
log (xy) = log x + log y log (x/y) = log x - log y log (x)^y = y(log x)
You can use these rules to derive the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation from the Ka expression for an acid:
HA -> A- + H+
Ka = [A-][H+]/[HA]
Taking the -log of both sides gives Read more
