SolidWorks Rotation of Component Problem
Why don't you just use your mates to rotate the component? You can set an angle between planes under the mate menu instead of setting the planes to be coincident, or you can create a new reference plane through the part and use that to mate the parts. Like I said before, using good reference...- Skrambles

SolidWorks Rotation of Component Problem
Are you just trying to get a better look at the part or are you interested in getting it to a specific view to put into a drawing? If you are just trying to get a better look at the part I would suggest clicking your middle mouse button (clicking down on the scrollwheel) and dragging your...- Skrambles

Genetic variation is a statistical measure of the differences between genomes in a population. It is not limited to point mutations, but those would definitely contribute to variation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_variation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founder_effect- Skrambles

Just because those species have more genetic variation than humans does not mean they did not also go through a bottleneck. If those populations were already more diverse going into a bottleneck then it makes sense they would also be more diverse when the population rebounded.- Skrambles

Toba volcano eruptions - 1.000 - 10,000 breeding pairsunb
The theory is based on genetic analysis suggesting there was a population bottleneck around the same time as the eruption. I've never heard of any definitive archaeological evidence for this theory though.- Skrambles

Graduate How can the velocity at points of change in pipe systems be determined?
If you know the volumetric flow rate you can just divide it by the cross-sectional area of the pipe. It really depends on what information you have about the system, sometimes you will have to find the answer through iteration and sometimes you may need to use a table. -

Calculators Why Is My TI-89 Titanium Giving Unexpected Results for Functions?
Try changing the option for results from exact to approximate and see if that works. TI calculators can be very picky when it comes to syntax so be careful about that too.- Skrambles
