General Chemistry/Thermodynamics/Entropy
I think that the original page could fit somewhere in physical chemistry. Even then, it would need a massive rewrite to make it more like a textbook than a lecture. Unfortunately, I don't know much about physical chemistry, so I won't be of much help. Hoogli 21:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Arya. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Arya~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:59, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Choosing The Right File Format/Video

Typical video file formats are MPEG (.mpg or .mp4), QuickTime (.mov), RealVideo (.rv or .rm), Windows Media (.wmv) and Theora (usually .ogg).

MPEG file formats contain either MPEG 1, MPEG 2, or MPEG 4. MPEG is a ISO group. MP3 files are not MPEG 3; they are MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3. MPEG video has algorithm patents.

QuickTime is a file format created by Apple. Although it sounds like another codec, often it contains a licensed version of MPEG 4.

RealVideo is a partially proprietary format by RealNetworks. It is a codec and is often good quality. It is patented. However, an 'open' implementation is available from RealNetworks called 'Helix Player'.

Windows Media is a proprietary format by Microsoft. It is common and is often forced on people via the Windows operating system.

Theora is an open, non proprietary file format. It is often contained in an Ogg file. In this container the file is called 'Ogg Theora'. However, other containers are occasionally used, such as Matroska. Theora, Ogg and Matroska are patent free.

Ogg Theora is the recommended format because it is non proprietary, open and patent free.

Wireless Mesh Networks/Mesh network basics

= Mesh network basics =

What is a Mesh Network?
A mesh network is a multiple path and multiple hop area wide network that are ideal for outdoor deployment. The mesh network consists of wireless networking devices (known as nodes)connecting within the range of the network nodes. Hence, it will form a decentralized networking as each node will only need to extend its own wireless range up to next node only. Each nodes are consistently communicating with each other in the local mesh network and are responsible for acting as a gateway for the packets to travel inside the mesh network.

A wireless mesh network have 3 characteristic of autonomic system which are
 * Self forming / self organizing
 * Self healing
 * Self optimization
 * Multi hop

Self-forming / Self-organizing
New nodes joining the mesh network are transparently supported because meshing functions such as neighbours discovery and topology learning are implemented. Wireless routers rapidly detect the presence of new paths, thus enhancing the overall performance and coverage

The picture above shows the mesh networking self forming ability.

[1] A new node joins the mesh network  [2] Surrounding node are alerted to the new node presence and configuring on the fly to provide optimized routing for the packets [3] The new node are accepted in the mesh network

Self-healing
A node may leave a mesh network due to unexpected circumstances such as failure in the networking devices, natural disaster/man made disaster and such.Therefore ,the mesh network are inherently designed to be more robust and resilient. There are many ways to do this such as make it a multi-path for packets to travel from one nodes to another (the amount of connections between 2 nodes is 2 or more), decentralized connections and redundancy.

The picture above shows the mesh networking self healing ability

[1] One of the nodes in the mesh network are showing intermittent failures  [2] Surrounding nodes connected to the intermittent failing nodes are re-configuring to respond to the failing node  [3] The failing node when offline but the mesh network is still operating without downtime

Self Optimization
The mesh network have the self optimization to enlarge the mesh coverage as large as possible, to minimizes the interferences and also to maximizes the bandwidth capacity of the mesh network.

Multi-hop
Multi-hop connectivity allows several devices to access the network at once by relying on other mesh nodes without affecting the overall network performance. It will guarantees larger coverage zones and an enhancement of the network capacity. In fact, line-of-sight constraint no longer matters because the intermediate nodes relay the information to their neighbors on short wireless links using a reduced power transmission.

The picture above shows the multi-hop of mesh network in progress.

[1] Node A want to access to the node D

[2] Node A sends wireless transmission links to nearby nodes

[3] Node B & node E forming link with node A

[4] Node E already found the node D forming mesh connection A-E-D

[5] Node B is still searching for node D but find node C instead

[6]Node C already found the node D forming mesh connection A-B-C-D

Reliability
In a classic wireless network, each node monitors that path between itself and an additional node. These networks are configured in a hierarchical fashion that ensures that each node uses a single connection path. The drawback to this approach is its lack of failure protection. If a node fails, the dedicated link is lost and the endpoint is unreachable until service is restored.

The establishment of multiple connection paths is a logical answer to this problem. Unfortunately, classic nodes lack the intelligent technology to select from alternate transmission paths.

Developers studied the idea of adding intelligence to each node to solve this problem. Such intelligence would track each available communication path and would logically select the best route. Added together, the multiplicity of nodes would create a mesh. This mesh would eliminate single points of failure. If one link went down,other network nodes would be alerted and could select an alternative node path. The design's self-healing nature would ensure that the network continued to operate. User access would be maintained as would productivity levels.

Today, the concept of intelligent mesh networks is a reality. Mesh is an increasingly applied network topology as researchers improve and enhance it, and businesses deploy and utilize it. Mesh has become the technology of choice for applications as diverse as securing military perimeters to regulating product flow down factory assembly lines to facilitating the intelligent navigation of one's morning commute.

Horticulture/Lecanium corni

European Fruit Lecanium Scale (Parthenolecanium corni, but often referred to as Lecanium corni), is a common pest affecting several genera of woody plants, including both food crops and ornamentals. Other common names include: brown apricot scale, brown elm scale, brown fruit scale, brown scale, European fruit scale, New York plum scale, peach scale, and yew scale.

Description
The scales are small, and dark brown, generally in large colonies.

Symptoms and Signs
Heavy infestations lead to weakening of the plant and dieback

 * Final updated water policy and strategy of the United Nations Environment Programme as it relates to freshwater for the period 2007–2012. "At its 24th session on 9 February 2007 in Nairobi, the Governing Council (GC) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) adopted the updated water policy and strategy for 2007-2012. Various minor amendments, such as the removal of references to payments for ecosystem services, proposed by Argentina, were included. In relation to regional and subregional cooperation mechanisms, language was added on creating or strengthening capacity to evaluate, manage and coordinate the environmental management aspects of transboundary resources."

How To Build a Pinewood Derby Car/Rules

There is no single set of Pinewood Derby rules; each Pack, District or Council is free to set its own rules. However, car construction rules have appeared in some BSA publications. Many rules such as size, weight, bearings, bushings, and springs are common to nearly all Pinewood Derby rules. For example:
 * Dry Lubricant:Many rules sets specify dry lubricant only and some allow only graphite and Teflon explicitly. Other rules allow liquid lubricants as long as they are not wet at the time of the race.
 * Axle Modification: Some rules prohibit axle grooves and beveling. Most prohibit substitution of non-BSA axles (e.g. nickel-plated).
 * Wheel Modification: Some rules prohibit light wheels. This is typically worded as prohibiting removal of "substantial mass" and requiring that the inner wheel wording be visible. Some rules prohibit wheel coning or modification beyond light sanding. More detailed rules prohibit narrow wheels or those with one (V-tread) or two (H-tread) raised tread areas.
 * Wheel Mounting:There are three levels of wheel mounting rules: 1) no restriction, 2) original wheelbase dimension, 3) original wheelbase and axle slot (no new holes). In some cases, the raised wheel modification may be prohibited.
 * Aftermarket Parts:Most rules (e.g., the BSA rules above) do not preclude the use of aftermarket parts as long as they are derived from the BSA kit. For example, lathed wheels or grooved axles are acceptable if the parts originate from BSA kits. Some rules expressly prohibit this type of substitution, although enforcement can be problematic.
 * Ready Made Cars:It is generally regarded that ready to run cars violate the spirit of the Pinewood Derby even if they do not violate a specific rule specifying that the car be built substantially by the Cubscout. However, ready to race cars created from BSA kits can be found on eBay and other sites.

Rules in the box
The rules that come in the Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Kit (BSA Kit 17006) are known as the "Rules in the Box."

 * 1) Car Specifications: Width: - 2-3/4"; Length - 7"; Weight - Not over 5 Ounces; Width between wheels - 1-3/4"
 * 2) The car must have been made during the current year (year in which derby is being held) - Cannot use previous years cars - Pinewood Derby Car kits supplied by the pack
 * 3) Wheel bearings, washers, and bushings are prohibited.
 * 4) The car shall not ride on springs.
 * 5) Only official Cub Scout Grand Prix Pinewood Derby wheels and axles are permitted.
 * 6) Only dry lubricant is permitted.
 * 7) Details, such as steering wheel and driver are permissible as long as these details do not exceed the maximum length, width and weight specifications.
 * 8) The car must be free-wheeling, with no starting devices.
 * 9) Each car must pass inspection by the official inspection committee before it may compete.
 * If, at registration., a car does not pass inspection, the owner will be informed of the reason for failure, and will be given time within the official weigh-in time period to make the adjustment.
 * 1) After final approval, cars will not be re-inspected unless the car is damaged in handling or in a race.

Wotamalo Rules

Wotamalo District rules section on car construction.
 * [[Image:One gram compare.jpg|left|thumb|200 px|Standard wheels (left) and one-gram light wheels (right)]]

 * 1) Material:Race cars shall be constructed for this event from the parts contained in the Official Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Kit (referred to below as the kit) as sold by the Scout Service Center, [ for the District in which the race is run ] . Materials from the kit may be supplemented but not replaced.
 * 2) Weight: Race cars may weigh no more than five (5) ounces (total weight) as determined on the official scales during race day inspection.
 * 3) Wheels and Axles: The car shall roll on the wheels from the kit. The wheels shall turn about the axle nails from the kit. The axle nails shall be firmly affixed to the wood of the car body. The axle dimensions may not be changed substantially. The outside surface of the axle head (the non-contact surface) may not be changed substantially, such as, by polishing. It must be obvious to the judges that the wheels and the nails from the kit are being used.
 * 4) Size: Race cars may be no longer than 7 inches, nor wider than 2 3/4 (2.75) inches, nor taller than 3 inches, as determined by the official gages during race day inspection. (Underside clearance of at least 3/8 (0.375) inches and inside wheel to wheel clearance of at least 1 3/4 (1.75) inches is recommended, so that the car will run on the racetrack. Adequate clearance is the responsibility of the race car builder.)
 * 5) Weights and Attachment: Weight may be added to the car and will be considered part of the car for purposes of all measurements. "Weight" is considered to be any material on the car that is not provided in the kit. All weight must be securely fastened to the car, e.g., by permanent glue, nails or screws, but not by "sticky substances", e.g., tape, or tack spray. Weights shall be passive, i.e. non-movable, non-magnetic, non-electric, non-sticky, etc.
 * 6) Wheels: Wheel treatment (hub and tread smoothing and polishing) may not result in substantial removal of mass nor in reducing the tread (track contact) width from the original kit wheels. Wheel tread surface must be cylindrical. The words "Official B.S.A. Made in U.S.A." and other lettering on the wheels shall remain intact and clearly visible to the inspector. Some of the original "tread marks" on the wheel face must be intact, i.e. apparent to the inspector.
 * 7) Unacceptable Construction: The following may NOT be used in conjunction with the wheels or axles: hubcaps, washers, inserts, sleeves, bearings.
 * 8) Gravity Powered: The race car may not be constructed or treated in such a way that the track's starting mechanism imparts momentum to the car. (For instance, this provision disqualifies cars with sticky substances on the front of the car and protrusions which may catch on the starting pin.)
 * 9) Lubricants: Lubricants must be dry at the time of inspection and racing.
 * 10) Staging: The entire car must stage behind the starting pin.
 * 11) Body: The car body may have no moving parts.

Pack 254 Rules
From the Virtual Cub Scout Leader's Handbook, these are a stricter version of the Watamalo Rules.
 * [[Image:Axle bushing.jpg|250 px|thumb|left|A stick-on axle bushing.]]

 * 1) Material: Race cars shall be constructed for this event from the parts contained in the Official Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Kit (referred to below as the kit) as sold by the Scout Service Center, [ for the District in which the race is run ] . Materials from the kit may be supplemented but not replaced.
 * 2) Weight: Race cars may weigh no more than five (5) ounces (total weight) as determined on the official scales during the pre-race check-in. Note: The official scale will be available in the Palmer School office from January 4th until registration.
 * 3) Wheels and Axles: The car shall roll on the wheels from the kit. The wheels shall turn about the axle nails from the kit. The axle nails shall be firmly affixed to the wood of the car body, and MUST be placed in the original 'axle grooves' in the supplied wooden block. It must be obvious to the judges that the grooves, wheels, and the nails from the kit are being used.
 * 4) Size: Race cars may be no longer than 7 inches, nor wider than 2-3/4 (2.75) inches, as determined by the official gages during the Registration and Inspection. Underside clearance of at least 3/8 (0.375) inches and inside wheel to wheel clearance of at least 1-3/4 (1.75) inches is recommended, so that the car will run on the race track. Adequate clearance is the responsibility of the race car builder.
 * 5) Weights and Attachment: Weight may be added to the car and will be considered part of the car for purposes of all measurements. "Weight" is considered to be any material on the car that is not provided in the kit. All weight must be securely fastened to the car, e.g. by permanent glue, nails or screws, but not by "sticky substances", e.g. tape, or tack spray. Weights shall be passive, i.e. non-movable, non-magnetic, non-electric, non-sticky, etc.
 * 6) Wheel Treatment: Wheel treatment (hub and tread smoothing and polishing) may not result in substantial removal of mass nor in reducing the wheel width from the original kit wheels. Some of the original "tread marks" on the wheel face must remain intact, i.e. apparent to the inspector. Wheels may not be machined to a beveled condition and the portion of the wheel surface that contacts the track must remain parallel to the axle.
 * 7) Unacceptable Construction: The following may NOT be used in conjunction with the wheels or axles: hubcaps, washers, inserts, sleeves, bearings.
 * 8) Gravity Powered: The race car may not be constructed or treated in such a way that the track's starting mechanism imparts momentum to the car. (For instance, this provision disqualifies cars with sticky substances on the front of the car and protrusions which may catch on the starting pin.)
 * 9) Lubricants: Only dry lubricants such as graphite or powdered Teflon "white lube" will be allowed for lubricating the wheels. Lubricants may not foul the track. There will be a lubrication table set up at the race. In the interest of fairness, only one lubrication is allowed before the beginning of the first heat race and then once again before the beginning of the first race of the semi-finals and finals.

How to use a Motorola DVR/Using i-Guide/Parental Control

Parental Control allows you to control viewing programs based on the title, channel, TV rating, or movie rating. When you try to view a channel, title, movie or program that has been locked, you must enter the 4-digit PIN code before the video and audio will be enabled.

=Basic Parental Control Setup=

The Parental Control panel allows you to set global controls based on channel or rating. You can also bypass or clear all locks from this menu, and control the display of Adult (and as of version A25, TV-MA) titles.

Parental Control setup can be accessed through two methods:
 * 1) Press Menu twice to get to the main menu, select Parental Controls (Parental Control as of version A25)
 * 2) Press Menu twice to get to the main menu, select Setup, select Locks Setup (Parental Control Setup as of version A25)

If you do not have a Locks PIN defined, you will be asked to create one (type in a 4-digit number) and then confirm it.

If you do have a Locks PIN defined, you will need to enter the 4-digit number.

As of version A25, Service Locks and PINs Setup were moved from the main Setup menu to the Parental Control Setup menu.

Title Locks
This is a list of titles that have been locked. You can use the left and right arrow keys to select a title, and then press OK/Select to unlock it. If you do not exit the menu, you can also re-lock it by pressing OK/Select again. If you have no locked titles, this will display No Title Locks.

(Version A25 or newer) The first program listed will be the currently viewed program. Otherwise, use the up and down arrow keys to select the program. Press OK/Select to lock or unlock a program.

Locked programs will display a padlock icon.

TV Ratings Locks
Use the left and right arrow keys to select the rating you want to lock, then Press OK/Select to enable or disable the lock.

(Version A25 or newer) Use the up and down arrow keys to select the rating to lock, then Press OK/Select to enable or disable the lock. If you enable a rating, all stronger ratings will automatically lock (example: locking TVY7 will also lock TVG, TVPG, etc...). If you disable a rating, all weaker ratings will automatically unlock (example: unlocking TVG will also unlock TVY7 and TVY).

Locked ratings will have a padlock icon.

Movie Ratings Locks
Use the left and right arrow keys to select the rating you want to lock, then Press OK/Select to enable or disable the lock.

(Version A25 or newer) Use the up and down arrow keys to select the rating to lock, then Press OK/Select to enable or disable the lock. If you enable a rating, all strong ratings will automatically lock (example: locking PG-13 will also lock R, NC-17 and Adult). If you disable a rating, all weaker ratings will automatically unlock (example: unlocking PG-13 will also unlock PG and G).

Locked ratings will have a padlock icon.

TV Content Locks
(Version A25 or newer) This offers 4 categories: Violence, Sexual Situations, Language, Suggestive Dialog. Choose a category. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the rating to lock, then Press OK/Select to enable or disable the lock. If you enable a rating, all stronger ratings will automatically lock. If you disable a rating, all weaker ratings will automatically unlock.

Channel Locks
Use the up and down arrow keys to select the channel you want to lock, then Press OK/Select to enable or disable the lock. Locked channels will have a padlock icon.

Master Locks
This leads to a sub-menu with two selections:

Bypass Locks
If you change this to Yes and confirm, all title, rating, and channel locks will be bypassed.

Clear all Locks
(This is named Remove all locks in software version 75.58 and newer.) If you change this to Yes and confirm, all title, rating, and channel locks will be removed.

Adult Titles
(As of software version 75.58, this has been changed to Hide Titles) Enables or disables the display of Adult titles and descriptions.

When set to Show, Adult titles and descriptions will be displayed as normal in the Guide. When set to Hide, Adult titles will display as Adult Programming and there will be no program description.

Hide Titles
(This is new in version A25.) Enables or disables the display of Adult or TV-MA titles and descriptions.

Use the up and down arrow keys to select the option you want, then press OK/Select to enable that option.

Hidden titles will display as Adult Programming or TV-MA Programming in the Guide and there will be no program description.

PINs Setup
These options allow you to clear or create Personal Identification Numbers (PINs).

As of version A25, this has been moved into the Parental Control Setup menu.

The Locks PIN is used for Parental Control.

The Purchase PIN is used for approving PPV and OnDemand purchases.

Enter new Locks PIN
This is only shown if you do not have a Locks PIN defined. To create a PIN, type in a 4 digit number. You will then be asked to re-type it to confirm.

To clear, enter current Locks PIN
This is only shown if you DO have a Locks PIN defined. Type in the 4 digit number to clear the PIN. With no Locks PIN, Parental Control is disabled.

0000
This is only shown if you do not have a Purchase PIN defined. To create a PIN, type in a 4 digit number. You will then be asked to re-type it to confirm.

To clear, enter current Purchase PIN
This is only shown if you DO have a Purchase PIN defined. Type in the 4 digit number to clear the PIN. With no Purchase PIN, anybody can order a PPV or OnDemand movie.

If power is lost...
If power is lost, would you like to lock all programs until ratings and titles are restored? This is only shown if you DO have a Locks PIN defined. If set to No, anybody can view programs, even if the program guide does not have information about it and displays To Be Announced as the title. If set to Yes, programs cannot be shown until the guide data is received and matches any parental control settings.

Service Locks Setup
This option allows you to enable or disable locks for services such as OnDemand. You must have a Locks PIN defined.

As of version A25, this has been moved into the Parental Control Setup menu.

After entering your Locks PIN, there will be a list of supported services. Use the arrow keys to select the service. Press OK/Select to lock or unlock a service. Locked services will display a padlock icon.

What does 我是波李克人 mean ? I've translated this as "I'm a man who protects against a wave of plums"

 * 波李克 is likely just a phonetic transcription of a foreign name forming a demonym here. I'm not absolutely certain, but my guess is Boricua; so I think it should be translated I'm Puerto Rican. — mwgamera (talk) 15:37, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

A-level Chemistry/OCR (Salters)/The Atmosphere/Ozone

Structure
Ozone can be assigned two different Lewis structures, but neither one accurately represents the structure and bonding in the O3 molecule.

 * [[Image:Ozone-resonance.png|center|400px|Canonical structures of ozone]]

Spectroscopic data indicates both O−O bonds in ozone are equal in length and strength. The central oxygen atom is positively charged and the terminal oxygen atoms each carry partial negative charge.


text:
A-level Chemistry/OCR (Salters)/The Atmosphere/Halogenoalkanes

Naming
The halogen name is put before the alkane chain name, in alphabetical order. For example, CBrClFI would be named bromochlorofluoroiodomethane because Br < Cl < F < I in the alphabet. The -x- notation is then used to describe the position of the halogen in relation to the rest of the chain. The halogens are listed in alphabetical order, before finally the alkane name change is suffixed on to the end.

Physical properties
The halogenalkanes' boiling point increase as the atomic mass of the halogen atoms increase, or as the number of halogen atoms increase. Effectively the mass is what determines the boiling point.

A simple explanation for this is that the amount of instantaused dipole-induced interactions increase. With this increase in intermolecular force, more energy is required to break the intermolecular bonds, so the boiling point is higher.

Bond enthalpies
The bond between carbon and the halogen itself gets weaker as the size of the halogen increases. For example, the C-I bond is much weaker than the C-F bond due to the much bigger size of the Iodene atom. With a weaker bond, it becomes easier to break said bond and thus the reactivity increases. As a guide:

 * Fluoro- compounds are extremely unreactive
 * Chloro- compounds are somewhat reactive. This is what causes the breakdown of ozone with CFCs.
 * Bromo- and iodo- compounds are reactive and are useful as catalysts and the like in chemical synthesis.

Homolytic fission
The first type of fission that Halogenalkanes go through is homolytic fission. In this the C atom and Halogen atoms become radicalised

Hetrolytic fission
In hetrolytic fission the C-X bond breaks and both become ionised. The halogen atom becomes negatively charged and the carbon becomes positively charged − a carbocation.

Substituion reactions
In this a nucleophile from another group replaces the halogen and leaves the halogen ionised outside the molecule.

Radonc, thanks for helping out with the Radiation Oncology project! Brim 03:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Welcome to the RadOnc textbook!
 * For the radiation oncology project, please use the bold function reasonably
 * Please make sure that the overall formatting doesn't change, since location of the quotes makes a difference. Please use the preview function to verify this
 * This is a public resource, so please only bold things that are truly important to everyone. We have tried to follow a format where only the name of the institution or the name of the study and year of publication are bolded. This way, it is easy to find trials and studies, and not be lost in a sea of bold text. I suppose I think of it as having a textbook in a library, and highlighting in the textbook. Some things should clearly be emphasized, but it should be used sparingly. Thanks for your consideration!
 * You may consider italics or underlines instead
 * Thanks for helping out! Tdvorak 01:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I politely request you email me some photos of yourself in underwear. You'll be mentioned on www.wyvernfm.co.uk if you do. Email me at kim.shaw@gcapmedia.com --Shazzygirl1974 21:34, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Maybe not.

 * Ben Mills 21:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

 * You should do it, you win £5,000 if your photos win the competition!! go on... do it!! --Shazzygirl1974 21:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

You could be anyone. Why would I send photos of me in my underwear to a random stranger?

Ben Mills 21:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

 * By the way, there's no mention of any underwear photo competitions at www.wyvernfm.co.uk/sectional.asp?id=13126

 * Ben Mills 21:39, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Categories
Category:GCE Advanced Level is the full category name for all the A-level books. OCR Advanced GCE in Chemistry is already in that category. Category:A-level Chemistry is for the A-level Chemistry book, not OCR Advanced GCE in Chemistry. Categories that are the same name as a book are reserved solely for that book.

OCR Advanced GCE in Chemistry is in Category:GCE Advanced Level and Category:Chemistry, both of which are general categories that classify it based on its content.

When you put OCR Advanced GCE in Chemistry into the category for the book A-level Chemistry, that actually took it out of the display for Subject:Chemistry, which is where readers find the books they're looking for. I hope this explains why I had to undo your most recent edits. -- Adrignola talk contribs 12:23, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

 * No problem, sorry for the trouble!

 * Ben Mills (talk) 18:46, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, regarding this reversion, I think I had a fairly good reason for describing A-level Chemistry as a collection of books, namely that the page itself says "This is a collection of books for A-level Chemistry".

 * Ben Mills (talk) 18:54, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Understandable. It appears that they were separate in the past, but I see that all those links point to subpages of the book A-level Chemistry.  I've adjusted the description to indicate this. -- Adrignola talk contribs 19:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Macroeconomics/Introduction

What is Economics?
Simply put, economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources to satisfy competing ends. In general, this applies mainly to microeconomics. This is because in Macroeconomics, there are many situations where resources are not scarce.

Microeconomics vs Macroeconomics
Microeconomics applies to small elements of an economy. This may be trade between two people, or trade between two countries. It usually focuses on a small basket of goods being traded between a small group of agents. On the other hand, Macroeconomics is the study of an entire economy. It looks at aggregate inputs and outputs with the goal to understand the flows of total consumption, employment rates, wages, prices and many other aggregate parts of an economy. In macroeconomics we look at both the long run and short run changes in the economy.

Microeconomics is the study of decisions that people and businesses make regarding the allocation of resources and prices of goods and services. This means also taking into account taxes and regulations created by governments. Microeconomics focuses on supply and demand and other forces that determine price levels for specific companies in specific industry sectors. For example, microeconomics would look at how a specific company could maximize its production and capacity so it could lower prices and better compete in its industry.

Macroeconomics, on the other hand, is the field of economics that studies the behavior of the economy as a whole and not just on specific companies, but entire industries and economies. This looks at economy-wide phenomena such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and how it is affected by changes in unemployment, national income, rate of growth, and price levels. For example, macroeconomics would look at how an increase/decrease in net exports would affect a nation's capital account or how GDP would be affected by unemployment rate.

While these two studies of economics appear to be different, they are actually interdependent and complement one another since there are many overlapping issues between the two fields. For example, increased inflation (macro effect) would cause the price of raw materials to increase for companies and in turn affect the end product's price charged to the public.

The bottom line is that microeconomics takes a bottoms-up approach to analyzing the economy while macroeconomics takes a top-down approach. Regardless, both micro- and macroeconomics provide fundamental tools for any finance professional and should be studied together in order to fully understand how companies operate and earn revenues and thus, how an entire economy is managed and sustained.

Main Questions
The study of Macroeconomics looks to solve one broad question:
 * What Causes Economic Growth?

In pursuit of solving this question, macro economists look at causes of business cycles, inflation, employment and many other aspects of the economy.

Maybe you can explain briefly why an atmosphere is unattainable at extreme temperatures.

When you say that the atmosphere later contained water vapor and gases, maybe you can give a brief reference of when.

Maybe discuss more about what caused life to form during the Archean era--primordial soup, CHNOPS formation possibly and other specific conditions.

Perhaps go into more detail about Paleoproterozoic, Mesoproterozoic, and Neoproterozoic eras.
