Dune, escrito por Frank Herbert, es una de las novelas de ciencia ficcion mas influyentes. La historia sigue a Paul Atreides, un joven heredero que junto a su familia se traslada al planeta desertico Arrakis, tambien conocido como Dune.
Este planeta es el unico lugar en el universo donde se encuentra la especia melange, una sustancia que otorga habilidades mentales y prolonga la vida, y que es esencial para los viajes espaciales.
La familia Atreides asume el control de Arrakis, enfrentandose a la familia Harkonnen, quienes controlaban el planeta previamente y desean recuperar el poder.
Cuando los Harkonnen traicionan a los Atreides, Paul y su madre Jessica escapan al desierto, donde se encuentran con los Fremen, una sociedad adaptada a la vida extrema del planeta y con profundas creencias espirituales.
A medida que Paul se adapta y gana el respeto de los Fremen, descubre que podria ser el Kwisatz Haderach, un ser con habilidades mentales profeticas que ha sido profetizado. Paul lidera una rebelion con los Fremen para liberar Arrakis de los Harkonnen y desafiar al emperador.
Dune aborda temas de ecologia, religion, politica y destino, mostrando como el poder y el medio ambiente pueden transformar a las personas y a las sociedades. Es el inicio de una saga que explora el viaje de Paul y el futuro de Arrakis y su gente.

The reading and the lecture delve into the topic of who discovered the American continent, offering contrasting perspectives. The author puts forth the idea that the Vikings found America 500 years before Columbus. In contrast, the lecturer casts doubt on this statement and challenges each of the writer's points.
To begin with, the author asserts that there are sagas that tell the story of a fertile land called Vinland and sailors traveling to this place. The lecturer, however, presents a counterargument, asserting that this claim is fundamentally flawed. He explains that the place known as Vinland in the tales may not be Newfoundland, since there are other places west of Greenland that match that description.
Furthermore, the article posits that there is archaeological evidence of houses with similar structures to those used by the Norse in Canada, affirming that to be proof of previous Viking settlements. Nevertheless, the lecturer disputes this notion, emphasizing that there is no concrete proof that those were Norwegian colonies since just a few houses are not sufficient evidence of Viking habitation in North America. He further points out that Norwegian archaeologists may have been biased in their claims and that a feeling of patriotism could have influenced their research.
Lastly, the writer concludes by arguing that the runestones found in 1898 are vital proof of Viking living in America, as the runic alphabet was used in Scandinavia before adopting the Latin alphabet. The lecturer, once again, refutes this claim, declaring that a Swedish farmer may have carved the runes before they were found. This undermines the credibility of the final argument, leaving the author's stance significantly weakened.

Internal Energy (U)
Internal energy is the total energy contained within a system. It is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of its particles. Importantly, we cannot measure the absolute value of internal energy; only changes in internal energy can be measured.
State Function:
A state function depends only on the current state of the system, not the path taken to reach that state. Internal energy is a state function because its value at a particular state is independent of its history.
Work (W) and Heat (Q)
Work and heat are the two primary means by which energy is transferred between a system and its surroundings. Work is energy transferred when a force is applied over a distance. Heat is energy transferred due to a temperature difference between a system and its surroundings.
First Law of Thermodynamics:
The first law, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. In terms of internal energy, heat, and work, it’s expressed as:
delta U = q – w
Where: ΔU is the change in internal energy.
q is the heat added to the system.
w is the work done by the system on its surroundings.
Isothermal Reversible Process
An isothermal process occurs at a constant temperature. When it’s reversible, the system remains in equilibrium with its surroundings throughout the process.
For an ideal gas undergoing an isothermal reversible expansion or compression:
W reversible = -nRT ln (vf/vi)
Isothermal Reversible
Where: n is the number of moles of gas.
R is the universal gas constant.
T is the constant temperature.
V f and V i are the final and initial volumes, respectively.

Isothermal Irreversible Process
In an isothermal irreversible process, the system doesn’t necessarily remain in equilibrium with its surroundings. For an ideal gas undergoing an isothermal irreversible expansion against a constant external pressure
Isothermal Irreversible
Free Expansion
Free expansion refers to the expansion of a gas into a vacuum, meaning there’s no external pressure opposing the expansion. As a result, no work is done by or on the gas.
W = 0
Also Check – Charle’s Law Formula
Adiabatic Process
An adiabatic process occurs without the transfer of heat. For an ideal gas undergoing an adiabatic expansion or compression, the work is described by:
W adiabiatic = nR(Tf-Ti)/1-γ
Adiabatic
Where: γ is the heat capacity ratio (Cp/Cv).
T f and T i are the final and initial temperatures, respectively.
Enthalpy (H)
Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as:
H = U + PV
Where: U is the internal energy of the system.
P is the pressure of the system.
V is the volume of the system.
For a process at constant pressure, the change in enthalpy (ΔH) is related to the heat (Q) transferred as:
ΔH = QP
Where Q P is the heat transferred at constant pressure.
Also Check – Surface Chemistry Formula
Heat Capacity (C)
Heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat (Q) required to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin).
Mathematically:
C = Q/∆T
Where ΔT is the change in temperature.
Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure (CP) and at Constant Volume (CV): C P is the heat capacity measured at constant pressure. C V is the heat capacity measured at constant volume.
Relation with Ideal Gas Constant:
For an ideal gas, the molar heat capacities at constant pressure (C P ) and constant volume (C V ) are related to the ideal gas constant
CP – CV = R
Furthermore, the heat capacity ratio γ (often used in adiabatic processes for ideal gases) is defined as:
γ=cp/cv
heat capacity ratio γ

Entropy (S)
Entropy (S) is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. It provides insight into the energy of a system that is not available to do work. The concept of entropy is deeply rooted in the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Change in Entropy (ΔS) for Heat Transfer: For a reversible process in which heat is transferred:
delta =q rev /T
Entropy
Where: q rev is the heat transferred during the reversible process. T is the absolute temperature at which the process occurs.
Entropy and Phase Changes: For a phase transition (e.g., melting or vaporization) at constant temperature:
delta = delta H transition / T transition
Entropy and Phase Changes
Where: ΔHtransition is the enthalpy change of the phase transition. Phase transition is the temperature at which the phase transition occurs.
Spontaneity: The spontaneity of a process is determined by the Gibbs free energy
ΔG = ΔH − TΔS
Where: ΔG is the change in Gibbs free energy.
ΔH is the change in enthalpy.
ΔS is the change in entropy.
T is the absolute temperature.
The sign of ΔG dictates spontaneity: If ΔG<0, the process is spontaneous. If ΔG>0, the process is non-spontaneous. If ΔG=0, the system is in equilibrium.
Gibbs Free Energy (G)
Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that measures the maximum reversible work that can be performed by a system at constant temperature and pressure. It provides a criterion for the spontaneity of a process when both temperature and pressure are held constant. Formula for
Temperature Dependence: The sign of ΔH and ΔS can give insights into the temperature dependence of spontaneity:
If ΔH<0 (exothermic) and ΔS>0 (entropy increases), the process is spontaneous at all temperatures. If ΔH>0 (endothermic) and ΔS<0 (entropy decreases), the process is non-spontaneous at all temperatures. If ΔH<0 and ΔS<0, the process is spontaneous at low temperatures. If ΔH>0 and ΔS>0, the process is spontaneous at high temperatures. The exact temperature at which the spontaneity changes can be found using the equation ΔG=0, which gives

What do you put on a sign? You know, that flimsy piece of cardboard people hold in their hands as they stand on corners, begging. I always used to look away when Mom and I drove by. I thought that if I met their eyes, I’d get their hopes up, like I was going to give them something. I never did. Now, I wish I had.
I’m not sure what I’ll write on my sign. How to condense my life into a few words, make people want to give a stranger their hard-earned cash. Most of what I think of is too long, too personal.
“Got fed up with drunk stepdad hitting Mom. Promised if he hit me, I’d be gone. He did. I’m here.”
I’ve started thinking about my sign since my money’s almost gone. Back when life was normal, I’d spend my allowance on things like magazines or junk food from the market where my friends and I hung out after school. Maybe I’d buy one of those short skirts Dad would never get for me. Nothing too bad, but you know how dads are. We used to fight about things like that – clothes and curfew and boys. He always said I was too stubborn, and Mom would laugh and say I was just like him. Dad would shake his head, but I think he was kind of proud of that. Now he’s gone, and I’m counting pennies for food. If I had known what little time we’d have together, I wouldn’t have wasted so much of it arguing.
I’ve seen other people’s signs. Some are funny in a sad way: “Why lie? Need beer.” But I’m not funny, never really have been. It got hard to laugh after Dad died, and I think I stopped altogether the day Beth left. I never thought she’d really do it. She used to hug me in those days after the funeral, when everyone else had gone home and we couldn’t get Mom out of bed. There were no relatives to call, no one left but Uncle Frank, and he didn’t count. I’ve never met him, but I figured anyone who couldn’t be bothered to come bury his own brother wouldn’t help anyway. Beth was all I had. She’d hold me tight and promise things would be okay, that we’d get through it together. I believed her. What else could I do? It hurt so much, and I was just looking for someone to hang onto when my world was falling apart. Mom couldn’t help. She was barely holding on herself. Beth was my anchor.
I’m not mad at her for leaving. To be honest, I’m amazed she stayed as long as she did. I think it was the day we came home and found Mom nursing a bloody nose that finally did it. I remember how the bedroom was dark, the curtains pulled over the window as if shutting out the light would keep the memories away. My mother was hunched up on a corner of the bed, rocking herself back and forth. Beth flipped on the light, and I almost screamed – Mom’s face was a mess of purple bruises, blood still seeping through the white Kleenex she pressed to her nose and lips. Apparently, dear Stepfather Alan had stumbled in late that morning, and Mom had mustered the nerve to ask where he’d been. He hadn’t taken it well.
Beth begged her to leave him. “Let’s go,” she pleaded. “The three of us. Right now.” I begged too. But Mom would only cry and shake her head. I don’t think she had the strength left to see any future but the one right in front of her. The one with Alan. He was actually an okay guy until he lost his job. Then he started drinking again.
A lot changed after that.
I thought about telling friends. Maybe a teacher. But I didn’t know what to say. Even if I did tell someone, what would they do? Take me and Beth away, split us up, put us in a home somewhere? I couldn’t take that chance. So I blocked it out, pretended things weren’t really that bad. I kept pretending, right up to the day Beth left. And then it was too late.
She left me a note, Beth did. I found it on my pillow when I came home from school, a small square of white that destroyed what little remained of my world. For the longest time, I just stared at it, like if I didn’t touch it, it wasn’t real. I knew what it would say. Finally, I opened it, hoping so desperately that it would tell me where she had gone, where to meet her so we could leave together. It didn’t, of course. Just that she loved me and was sorry but had to go, or she’d end up like Mom. She promised to write, but she never did. I guess she got busy, maybe found a job and is just too tired at the end of each day. I’m sure there’s a good reason. The thought of me holding a sign would make her sick. If she knew where I was, I bet she’d come get me. Well, she would’ve at one point. I suppose things change. Who knows? Maybe she’s got a sign of her own. I hope not.
Some people’s signs tell of their families, or their past, or both: “Homeless vet. Kids to feed.” But I don’t want to share my past, not with strangers. They judge. I can see it in their eyes, those that aren’t too scared to look away. Some give looks of pity. “Oh, you poor dear. How on earth did you wind up here?” But I know they don’t care that much. The light will change and they’ll drive off, and I’ll be forgotten before the next block. Others stare, and I can feel the accusations, thoughts of drugs, alcohol, even prostitution flitting through their heads. I’m not explaining how none of it was my fault, how there was no other way out. That day, when I stepped in front of Mom and Alan struck me instead, I knew. And in that moment of frozen silence before Alan stormed out, Mom knew too.
“I’m sorry,” she pleaded, her hand shaking as she pressed a piece of ice against my swollen lip. “I’m so sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have asked him about the interview. He’s under a lot of pressure, he didn’t mean it…” The words tumbled out, trembling, empty.
“Did he mean it when he hit you yesterday?” I pushed her hand away. “What about last week? He doesn’t get to hit us! If Dad was here—”
I stopped myself, since if Dad was here, there would be no Alan. Mom didn’t speak, but I saw something in her change. I had said the unspoken, reminded her of Dad, of how our lives used to be. How they were supposed to be.
“Please.” I caught her hand, forcing her to look at me. “Mom, please.” It wasn’t a request. It was an ultimatum, and we both knew it.
For a moment, something flickered in her eyes, and I thought, “Yes. Yes!” Then whatever dim spark she had left fizzled out, and she looked away. When she finally spoke, I already knew what the answer would be.
“I can’t.”
We sat there for a long time, her dabbing at my lip, our tears mixing with the melted ice running down my chin. Finally, she went to make dinner. I went to pack.
The hardest part will be filling the boredom in my head as I stand on my corner hour after hour. I have to keep my mind busy, keep it focused on something. The drivers, the streetlights, the road – something. I can’t let my mind wander. It creeps off to places I’d rather not go.
It happens each night as I’m falling asleep, when I’m too tired to hold them back any longer, and the thoughts that have been lurking in the darkness break free. I’ve tried to fight them. I always lose.
The dream starts out warm and friendly, all of us sitting in front of the TV that night. Then Dad jumps up to grab his keys, and it turns into a nightmare.
“I forgot!” he says. “We’re out of milk. How am I going to make pancakes tomorrow without milk?”
Beth and I laugh, telling him to forget it – we’re not kids anymore, we don’t need pancakes with Saturday morning cartoons. We don’t even watch cartoons. But Dad insists.
“Be right back!” he calls, throwing Mom a kiss, running out the door.
For a moment, my dream freezes – the three of us sitting there, staring at the door as it closes behind him. Then something clicks, and everything speeds up.
I’m flying, hovering over the stop sign just a few blocks away. I see our old brown station wagon pull up, stop, and begin to move. I’m screaming at my dad. Stop! Stop! He doesn’t hear me. The yellow car careens toward him, one headlight broken, its driver drunk out of his mind. It’s all in the accident report. I know.
I never see the crash. I’m back home in a heartbeat, just in time to hear the knock on the door. Mom opens it. I see the policeman’s mouth moving, but I can’t hear what he’s saying. It doesn’t matter. Mom sinks to her knees, mouth wide open in a silent scream, and I wake up, shaking, dripping with sweat, not knowing where I am.
I won’t think about that each day when I’m standing on my corner, don’t want to flinch every time a yellow car drives by. I don’t know what I’ll think about yet, but it won’t be that. It won’t be.
I’m starting to stink. I thought I was doing okay until I saw a woman wrinkle her nose when she walked by me yesterday. I hadn’t even noticed. It stung at first, the realization that I smell of the streets, that I’m truly becoming one of them. Then I realized that I was doing what I hoped others wouldn’t: I was making people into objects, putting them beneath me without even caring how they wound up with their signs. I thought about that for awhile, and I stopped feeling so bad about how I smelled.
I think I’ll keep moving, holding my sign when I need the money, but always going somewhere new. There’s got to be something better around the corner, right? Maybe I’ll even find Beth. It’s easy to move, since all I’ve got to carry is the stuff I could fit in my backpack: my money, some clothes, a picture of the four of us – me, Beth, Mom, and Dad. It’s from my last birthday we were all together. We’re wearing these goofy hats, and everyone’s smiling. I like that picture, but it hurts to look at it. Sometimes, I don’t want to remember.
In the end, I just write, “Hungry. Please help.” I figure it’s the truth, not all of it, but probably as much as people want to know. If you see it, and you’ve got some change or even a dollar, maybe you can help me out. If not, that’s fine too. I’ll be okay.
