...The Pacific Science Center Introduction The pacific science center is a non-profit museum that deals with scientific artifacts. It is located in the Seattle downtown and just next to the Space Needle. Pacific science center is a popular destination in the state in relation to science. The center focuses on environmental ecology including wetland and nature awareness. The center provides travelling exhibits that includes outreach programs, science education vans and even science on wheels. The center has created a niche market primarily centered on science that relates to understanding the necessity for water and natural ecology. In addition, the center provides an ideal setting to teach individuals that seek to become science teachers (Pacific Science Center, 2013). This provides a variety in relation to the organization generating some form of revenue. The mission statement of the pacific science center is to inspire a lifelong interest in science, math and technology by engaging diverse communities through interactive and innovative exhibits and programs. Its vision statement: We envision communities where children and adults are inspired by science, understand its basic principles and bring their scientific curiosity and knowledge to bear in the world (Guidestar). History The center originated from the US Science pavilion, which was part of the 1962 world fair in Seattle. The pavilion became the World of Science known as the Pacific Science Center. In addition...

Weninger Physics Department, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095; e-mail: putterman@physics.ucla.edu Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 2000.32:445-476. Downloaded from arjournals.annualreviews.org by NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY on 08/14/09. For personal use only. Key Words energy focusing, nonlinear dynamics, complexity, hydrodynamics gas bubble, continuum mechanics, shock shape instabilities, chemical hydrodynamics Abstract Sonoluminescence, the transduction of sound into light, is a phenomenon that pushes fluid mechanics beyond its limit. An initial state with long wavelength and low Mach number, such as is realized for a gas bubble driven by an audible sound field, spontaneously focuses the energy density so as to generate supersonic motion and a different phase of matter, from which are then emitted picosecond flashes of broad-band UV light. Although the most rational picture of sonoluminescence involves the creation of a ‘‘cold’’ dense plasma by an imploding shock wave, neither the imploding shock nor the plasma has been directly observed. Attempts to attack sonoluminescence from the perspective of continuum mechanics have led to interesting issues related to bubble shape oscillations, shock shape instabilities, and shock propagation through nonideal media, and chemical hydrodynamics.

...A Solution Manual for: A First Course In Probability: Seventh Edition by Sheldon M. Ross. John L. Weatherwax∗ September 4, 2007 Introduction Acknowledgements Special thanks to Vincent Frost and Andrew Jones for helping find and correct various typos in these solutions. Miscellaneous Problems The Crazy Passenger Problem The following is known as the “crazy passenger problem” and is stated as follows. A line of 100 airline passengers is waiting to board the plane. They each hold a ticket to one of the 100 seats on that flight. (For convenience, let’s say that the k-th passenger in line has a ticket for the seat number k.) Unfortunately, the first person in line is crazy, and will ignore the seat number on their ticket, picking a random seat to occupy. All the other passengers are quite normal, and will go to their proper seat unless it is already occupied. If it is occupied, they will then find a free seat to sit in, at random. What is the probability that the last (100th) person to board the plane will sit in their proper seat (#100)? If one tries to solve this problem with conditional probability it becomes very difficult. We begin by considering the following cases if the first passenger sits in seat number 1, then all ∗ wax@alum.mit.edu 1 the remaining passengers will be in their correct seats and certainly the #100’th will also. If he sits in the last seat #100, then certainly the last passenger cannot sit there (in fact he will end up in seat #1). If he sits in any of the 98...
