How can I streamline updating of html index pages?
Q. Here's my task each month (all of it done in html): First, create 4-5 new article pages. Then update a series of index pages which have intros to these articles (and all past articles). Each index page is a list of article intros, with links (and sometimes pictures) to the articles, in alphabetical order. One index, for example, is by article Category. Another index is based on article Titles. Is there any method to help streamline this task, instead of manually adding into each index page? Or any sort of software or script to automatically index pages?
Asked by Andy - Sun Aug 29 12:35:38 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. you can use server side scripting language like php to automate such task.

What is the difference between the relative index of refraction and the absolute index of refraction?
Q. What is the difference between the relative index of refraction and the absolute index of refraction? Explain why we can experimentally determine the absolute index of refraction fairly accurately when using air as a medium.
Asked by Ashley - Tue Aug 3 23:27:07 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Relative index of refraction specifically refers to comparing one optically dense media to another background media. It is actually a ratio of refractive indices of two different media which will be involved in a refraction set-up of interest. Absolute refractive index specifically compares one medium's speed of light to the speed of light in empty space. This is the ratio of speed of light in empty space to speed of light in the material, and is always a ratio greater than unity. We can determine an absolute refractive index fairly accuartely without needing an evacuated chamber because air's refractive index is very close to unity, air being very optically similar to free space. At least, a comparison of a typical glass to air is… [cont.]

What is the difference between low glycemic index and low glycemic load?
Q. oh and is it the same as following a diabetic diet? im confused cause the glycemic load diet seems more strict about whole wheat bread than the glycemic index. And wouldnt a diabetic diet be the same since it keeps your blood sugar stable no? Which one of the three is better? Is it bad not to eat bread?
Asked by rainydays08 - Thu Jun 4 00:58:42 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. actually, have u tried to type : "glycemic index" into any search engine? you would get a definition immediately same with load.
