MicroRNAs
24.2K
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After...

The Derivative as a Function
74
A derivative quantifies how a function changes in response to variations in its input. It provides a localized rate of change, representing the slope of the tangent line to the function at any given point. When this process is applied systematically across the entire domain of the function, it yields a new function—the derivative function—which encodes the rate of change at every point. This concept is central to calculus and essential for understanding the behavior of dynamic...

Derivatives of the Trigonometric Functions

The motion of a Ferris wheel rotating at a constant speed provides an intuitive model for understanding trigonometric functions and their derivatives. As a rider moves along the circular path, the vertical height above the ground changes smoothly and periodically over time. This vertical motion can be accurately represented by a sine function, reflecting the repeating pattern of ascent and descent inherent to circular motion.Height and Rate of ChangeIf the rider’s height is modeled by a...

Derivatives of Logarithmic Functions

Logarithmic and Exponential RelationshipA logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function. If y = logb x then, it can be rewritten as by = x. This relationship allows for implicit differentiation, making logarithmic functions useful in calculus. Logarithmic scales are widely used to represent data that span multiple orders of magnitude, such as earthquake magnitudes (Richter scale) and sound intensity (decibels).Differentiation of Logarithmic FunctionsTo differentiate y = logb x,...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison
56.0K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
