>most sociologists still act like wannabe philosophers
Is that why texts written by sociologists feel pretentious as fuck?

<span class="math">\\T=\int_{0}^{x}
\\Te^x=e^x-1
\\e^x(1-T)=1
\\e^x=(1-T)^{-1}.1=(1+T+T^2+T^3+...).1
\\=1+x+x^2/2! +x^3/3!...[/spoiler]

Right?

Discuss. Is this possible with a human head? Why not?

Good luck man.

10 questions, 125 words each. name your price. If you can cite, cool if not, also cool.

"Be sure to back up each statement of fact with cited sources. Your response to each question should be at least 125 words. "
1. Haemophilus influenzae requires hemin (X factor) to synthesize cytochromes and NAD (V factor) from other cells. For what does it use these two growth factors? What disease(s) does H. influenzae cause?

2. The bacterial enzyme streptokinase is used to digest fibrin (blood clots) in patients with atherosclerosis. Why doesn’t injection of streptokinase cause a streptococcal infection? How do we know the streptokinase will digest fibrin only and not other tissues?

3. Based on biochemical tests and oxygen usage, how would you identify and classify, respectively, the following microbes:
a. Staphylococcus aureus
b. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
c. Bacillus subtilis
d. Escherichia coli

4. Explain why is each of these is often resistant to disinfectants.
a. Mycobacterium
b. Pseudomonas
c. Bacillus

5. What were the historical limitations of previous classification systems that led to and are solved by the three domain system that is in use today?

6. Why is the gene coding for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) used for establishing phylogenetic relationships and how does this compare to previous methods for placing organisms in appropriate taxa?

Are quantum mechanics considered chemistry, physics or both? If both, which does it predominately belong to?

I understand your point bro, and that was my sole intent, to make people think, i think some very bright and creative people browse this boards and we could have a healthy discussion.
Yes i know that science too can be a dogma, dogma that empirical evidence is the only thing that prevails and that is not necessarily a bad thing albeit a limiting one.
I stated at the beginning the intent is not to invoke any spooky knowledge but merely to discuss the possibilities.
I just spent 2 hours watching a BBC documentary on the topic(4:30 am here now) which anyone interested on the topic would find interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ8rd7AkMmY

Inefficient Markets by my teacher who is a PhD in Theoretical Physics and where all of us 5 students do not understand a single percent of the course.

> "inclination" on what it means
> what "imposition" it has

uh... wut?

Coming from a guy who's finishing his master's degree in Finance:
The following must be known:
Advanced Econometrics
Probability and Stochastic Calculus
Numérical Finance (know the shit out of Matlab and Monte Carlo)
Derivatives 2, Financial Engineering, Structured Products.
Statistics for statisticians wanting to do statistics (very important one)
Econometrics for statisticians
Riskmetrics

(see a trend there?)
oh, and btw, good luck finding a job if you're not good with computers, something they obviously forgot to tell me when I enrolled with a Bsc in Economics, stupid me.
Hope you're an engineer.
Pic Related, what I feel like when reading Inefficient Markets.

ok, explain the psychology theory to me, would it have been things that happened in my youth? or was i born like this with a mind destined to be feminine?

Swiss fag here.. Seen the best students go to USA for a semester so that it reflects well in the c.v. They ALL came back throwing up at the blissful ignorance of the students they saw there.. Obviously they finished with a++, who wouldn't? If you have the exam questions in advance, and if you learn to do a derivative in a master of finance, then you know you're far below average education.
