Signal arithmetic; Signals and noise; Smoothing; Differentiation; Resolution enhancement; Harmonic analysis; Convolution; Deconvolution; Fourier filter; Integration and peak area measurment; Curve fitting. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82609 Reliability of a measurement; an introduction to simple statistics for science students. Average, mean, deviation from the mean, standard deviation, systematic and random error. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82815 covers the quantitative treatment of acid-base equilibria at somewhat greater breadth and depth than is available in standard textbooks. The principles of electroneutrality and mass balance are used to develop exact solutions for common equilibrium problems, and the common approximations and their limitations are explored. At the other extreme, there is an extensive treatment of the use of log-concentration vs. pH graphs for obtaining approximate solutions of equilibrium problems without arithmetic. There is a detailed discussion of the proton-free energy concept (without the thermodynamics!) that is helpful in understanding more complex acid-base systems. Other sections cover practical methods of solving quadratic and higher-order equations, graphical solution of equilibrium problems, titration curves, the carbonate system, physiological applications, and acid rain. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82611 The bell-shaped curve, confidence intervals, using statistical tests of make conclusions, how to lie with statistics. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294071 The GC Tutorial 1.0 is a 30 minute interactive Flash video designed to help college and high school students better understand the inner workings and theory behind Gas Chromatography.
