selective negligence

(noun)

A strategy adopted by students to succeed in education, in which they selectively neglect portions of their formal schoolwork in order to glance at all of it.

Examples of selective negligence in the following topics:

  • The Hidden Curriculum

    • For example, students may adopt a strategy of selective negligence. within the first month of classes, many students discover they cannot conceivably complete all the work assigned them; consequently, they must selectively neglect portions of the formal schoolwork.

  • Enantioselective Aldol Reactions

    • Racemization of the α-carbon is possible, but seems to be negligible.
    • Other procedures for removing the auxiliary have also been developed, with lithium hydroperoxide being particularly selective thanks to the alpha effect.
    • Steric hindrance of the Lewis acid with the Z-methyl group changes the facial selectivity of the aldehyde from re to si.
    • In order to reverse this selectivity, a bulkier silyl substituent is introduced and the magnesium is exchanged with a triisopropoxidetitanium moiety.
    • Once again, chelation is prevented, and dipole opposition causes a reversal in facial selectivities, leading to the enantiomeric anti-aldol product.

  • Issue Voting

    • Issue voting is the process by which voters select candidates based on how closely their views on certain issues match the voter's own.
    • Also, they can obscure issues by reporting through negligence and distraction.

  • Models for Addition to Acyclic Substrates

    • If, however, the stereogenic center is far away from the carbonyl group, it has a negligible influence on the reduction, and a nearly 50:50 mixture of diastereomers is produced (lower example).
    • Many conformations about the alpha-C-CO bond may be written, and the challenge is to pick one that accounts for the observed selectivity.
    • This diastereoselectivity is commonly termed Cram or Felkin selectivity.
    • This change in stereoselectivity is sometimes termed anti-Cram or anti-Felkin selectivity.
    • Alternatively, intramolecular control may provide selectivity, as shown in equation 3.

  • A New Constitution

    • The concept of checks and balances was embodied in a provision that legislative acts could be vetoed by a council composed of the executive and selected members of the judicial branch.
    • The free states found the compromise negligible when compared with the ultimate goal of writing a new governing document, and slave states were satisfied by this provision and agreed to support the plan.

  • Inductors in AC Circuits: Inductive Reactive and Phasor Diagrams

    • It is reasonable to assume negligible resistance because in practice we can make the resistance of an inductor so small that it has a negligible effect on the circuit.
    • (a) An AC voltage source in series with an inductor having negligible resistance.

  • Stabilizing, Directional, and Diversifying Selection

    • If natural selection favors an average phenotype by selecting against extreme variation, the population will undergo stabilizing selection.
    • When the environment changes, populations will often undergo directional selection, which selects for phenotypes at one end of the spectrum of existing variation.
    • Sometimes natural selection can select for two or more distinct phenotypes that each have their advantages.
    • Diversifying selection occurs when extreme values for a trait are favored over the intermediate values.This type of selection often drives speciation.
    • Different types of natural selection can impact the distribution of phenotypes within a population.In (a) stabilizing selection, an average phenotype is favored.In (b) directional selection, a change in the environment shifts the spectrum of phenotypes observed.In (c) diversifying selection, two or more extreme phenotypes are selected for, while the average phenotype is selected against.

  • Thermal Bremsstrahlung Absorption

    • For $h\nu \gg\ k T$ the exponential is negligible so $\alpha_\nu \propto \nu^{-3}$.

  • Natural Selection and Adaptive Evolution

    • Natural selection drives adaptive evolution by selecting for and increasing the occurrence of beneficial traits in a population.
    • Natural selection only acts on the population's heritable traits: selecting for beneficial alleles and, thus, increasing their frequency in the population, while selecting against deleterious alleles and, thereby, decreasing their frequency.
    • Natural selection does not act on individual alleles, however, but on entire organisms.
    • Natural selection acts at the level of the individual; it selects for individuals with greater contributions to the gene pool of the next generation, known as an organism's evolutionary fitness (or Darwinian fitness).
    • Through natural selection, a population of finches evolved into three separate species by adapting to several difference selection pressures.

  • Clonal Selection and Tolerance

    • Clonal selection and tolerance select for survival of lymphocytes that will protect the host from foreign antigens.
    • Clonal selection occurs after immature lymphocytes express antigen receptors.
    • The preservation of useful specificities is called positive selection.
    • Negative selection of developing lymphocytes is an important mechanism for maintaining central tolerance.
    • clonal selection of the B and T lymphocytes:1.
