week 12

well, this week started with our math exam, and i have no idea how im going to do, im praying to God that good, atleast a 70, but i dont know what is going to happen!" waa jappeeen!?" im so nervous!!...seriously, im all stressed out!! my back is sooo tense, maybe we'll go to Bosco's "camas de masage" haha (: oooh! i want to see all the murderer we wrote videos! this thursday, your house.... yay!

week 11

im so tired! its 11 pm and i just came home because ive been working all day in the "murder we wrote" dialog, tomorow we are going to start shooting the video, hopefully everything turns out very well, ooh! and im Professor H, yea, we made it a she (: the script is pretty cool, hopefully the acting turns out ok too, and i really didnt want to act, but they said i had too, i prefer to be on the back of the camara, lol i dont like the spotlight, but they are going to kill me in the beginning so its cool(:im not a great actress haha...so, yea, good night! tomorrow its gonna be a loooong looong day...

week 10

hello! well, this week has been very calm, thank GOD! and I wished all weeks were like this...we didnt have class on Monday and it was cool, and today is Benito's bday! and spring began....although it feels like summer, and most important, we are almost out for vacations waahoo!... okay, i don't know what else to say, have fun checking other blogs (:oohh and linda! you havn't told me that my blog is pretty ):

P.S. La foto del mango es por que tengo antojo de comerme uno (:

week 9

well, this week was a little stressfull because of the CENEVAL exam, and I think that the exam was kinda hard. But oh well, hopefully everything will turn out good, and it was a little relaxing too becuase we didnt have many hwks as usual, but still...the ceneval did his thing in stressing us off.

TIME TABLE! (week 8)

week 7

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?

The Newton's Law of Cooling is a method used to find a temperature of an object, and to find the temperature of an object, you have to consider all the surroundings of the body, because it's temperature depends on the temperature of it's environment.

2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?

*Room temperature

*Temperature of the body in 3 different conditions: sick (101 ºF), average (100ºF) and healthy(98.6ºF)

*Time

3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?

According to my results, the time of death should be between 8:44 and 8:56 pm, depending on the health of Mr. H on the time of death.

4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?

Well, in this problem it didn't affect it that much, because the difference was only of 5º, but it showed the difference on the seconds, but the minutes were the same.

5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?

If Mr. H wasn't healthy, then his time of death is before than if he was unhealthy and it would take longer if he was healthy. The healthiest Mr. H was, then it shows that the body was dead after 8:50.

6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?

I think it's very exact, although you cant be sure that it is the exact time and temperature, it is a very good approcimation to the problems.

4. What methods are commonly used to find the time of death?

*Rate Method: It's about measuring the change accured.

*Cuncurrence method: Comparing the events.

5. What factors are considered in Algor Mortis?
*Size of the body
*Clothing and covering
*Movement and humidity of the air
*Immersion is water

why does the environment affect the time of death?
Because the bodys decomposition it's different depending on the cricumstances that it was in the time of death, it changes depending on any one of the factors of the Algor Mortis, Any difference in the environment affects the way the body is preserved.

7. What can you tell about the different methods of temperature reading of the body? Do they make a difference in the results?

That all the method they use of aproximation are not actually exact, they are estimations, since you can't know the exact numbers or the exact time, and thats what the name says, its an "aproximation", since doing all this is a very complicated and hard process that rely in several factors depending on the conditions that the body was found and preserved.
