How does adding links to your site improve it google rating?
Q. I have been looking at how to improve my google search rating, many sites say adding links help. I was just wondering why adding links help?
Asked by Grant - Wed Mar 10 06:47:51 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Mainly in two ways, a link helps search engines find your site more easily and also counts as a "vote" for your site. So the sites with the most good quality "votes" are considered more important and bubble up through the ranks.

A. You don't want to add any more chemicals to the waste stream than necessary. You could try an acid/base indicator, except that urine is only slightly acidic, and I have no idea about the pH of your water to start with. What about adding some blue (actually cyan) food coloring. When the yellow urine mixes with it it will change to green.

Why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting? How is adding radical expres?
Q. Why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting? How is adding radical expressions similar to adding polynomial expressions? How is it different?
Asked by Heather E - Tue Mar 17 18:26:36 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's important to simplify to see if two involve the same radical and can thus be combined. Adding radicals is like adding polynomials. In adding polynomials, you add like terms. Similarly in adding radicals, you add like radicals. sqrt(2) + sqrt(8) can't really be added. But if you simplify to sqrt(2) + 2 sqrt(2), this you can add to be 3 sqrt(2) So you can add "like terms". It's different from adding polynomials because you can force radicals to be "like terms" by converting them (approximately) to decimals. sqrt(2) + sqrt(3) + 1.41 + 1.72 = 3.13 approx.

How much more horsepower will adding a cold air intake system to my car give me?

A. You could see anywhere from a 4-15ish horse power increase. As for acceleration and speed differences they will most likely be pretty small and unnoticeable. For real power go to forced induction (turbo/supercharger).

What information does adding raw scores for different tests give you?
Q. For a tests and measurements class. We did long jumps and shuttle runs, but I ma not sure what the raw score is supposed to give you by adding them up.
Asked by Danielle - Mon Sep 24 12:51:22 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Nothing. Raw scores on different tests are meaningless when merged. There are different scales, and the raw scores usually measure different things. For example, adding your time for a 100 yard run and a 1000 meter run would be meaningless for many reasons, among them the time of the 100 yards would get 'lost' in the large time for the 1000 meter run. You can combine scores from different tests, like rank in performance as they do in the pentathlon or decathlon, but raw scores - no. So, lets add algebra final exam score, plus IQ, plus shoe size.

A. As mentioned, you need to cycle the tank. Bio Spira will not prevent you from having to cycle - though it may help the process along. Cycling can be done one of two ways - fishless (as a previous poster mentioned) or with hardy fish (such as danios). Basically the nitrogen cycle starts with ammonia, which in a fishless cycle can be introduced either as pure ammonia that you purchase at the store, or in the form of fish food, which will break down into ammonia as it decomposes. In a cycle involving fish, their waste (feces, and uneaten food) will break down into ammonia. Either method starts the process. Once the ammonia is introduced the bacteria that turns ammonia into nitrite will begin to grow. Once this is established, you will see a… [cont.]

A. So you can upgrade when better hardware is available. You might not have the money to spend on a top of the line machine. So it's nice to have the expansion available if you want to add a better video, ethernet, or sound card. Or, you may buy the best top of the line model. If you have no room to make it better in the future, your machine will be out dated much sooner.

Does adding cream in coffee kill the antioxidants?

Asked by agua4211 - Sun Dec 3 13:46:16 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. That is a new one on me. I would love to see the research on it. However, milk or cream does really change the flavor of coffee. I maintain that good coffee (high quality beans, fresh roasted, properly brewed) doesn't need milk or sugar. Additives mask both the tastes that are unique to varietal beans, origins, and the roasting method. So, be safe and skip the milk! Better flavor and maybe better health! enjoy!

Will adding a conservatory to my house add value to the property?
Q. The house is a beautiful Georgian terraced ground floor flat (actually a maisonette - bought for 250K last year). We have a fair-sized garden (about 42sq.m.), but only half of it gets the sun. The part of the garden next to the house is not dark, but does not get direct sunlight until the evening. Essentially, we do not use that bit of garden for anything. We have thought of adding a conservatory, which will measure about 7m x 2.5m. We appreciate the need to get it done properly, and expect to spend around 15K to 20K. Is it worth it? We don't think we'll be there for very long. It is more of an investment property than anything else. Any advice?

A. Actually, dish soap such as Dawn is used to actually however lame it sounds, clean your grass.

I know about it because I just got through reading about it in Jerry Baker's book Green Grass Magic. He puts out a bunch of lawn tonics with beer, dish soap, and other stuff like that. They sound a little cooky, but they work and are based fundamentally correct.

What is the purpose of adding a dielectric to a capacitor?

Asked by ecogrl23 - Wed May 16 23:56:54 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. When an insulating material is placed between the plates of a charged-up capacitor, the voltage across the capacitor decreases Such insulating materials are called dielectrics. By lowering the voltage across the charged-up capacitor, the dielectric has "made room for" even more charge, hence, the capacitance of the capacitor is increased. Dielectric materials are characterized by a dimensionless number called the dielectric constant, K, which tells by what factro the capacitance of a capacitor is increased: C' = KC where C' is the new capacitance with the dielectric, and C is the original capacitance.

A. If you have any... most broccoli cheese soups tastes better with a bit of shredded carrots in it, let it lightly bubble up for an extra 5 minutes to cook the carrots. About a tbsp worth in the entire batch. I'd also put in about a tbsp of finely chopped onion that you saute first in cooking spray until cooked. or, just use dry minced onions. Saute up a 1/8th tsp of minced garlic, or a few shakes of garlic powder. Of course having some fresh broccoli would be delicious as well. Just steam up some. Or some frozen that's been steamed up. When it says to add water, use half chicken broth and half milk. (Chicken broth is used in all home made cheese broccoli soups and makes it so much better).

A. Two screens at once gives you a lot more video space to work with. You can open one application in one screen (say a spreadsheet) and a word document in the other so you can read two full-screen programs at once. If you have large spreadsheets, you can stretch it to fill both monitors at the same time... give you a lot more to see. Plus, there are some games that work with both monitors at the same time.

A. Contrary to what some people believe, caffeine does have a taste and is used for flavoring in many foods and drinks. However, the amount that is put into these products (unless it's coffee or chocolate which both contain natural caffeine) for "flavor" is debatable. Caffeine is second only to nicotine when it comes to addiction(I'm not talking hard core drugs here) and is typically added in higher amounts to keep you stimulated and addicted and also buying more product. Think about nicotine. If cigarettes did not contain nicotine, then they would not be addictive. Same thing with caffeine.
