For as long as Odysseus and his men could see in the distance, was miles upon miles of the vast ocean. The ocean was exceedingly immense and at the moment, at peace and mysterious. The waves were docile and relieving , and as the sun set the men were starting to be positive they would arrive to Ithaca in the near future considering the pace they were keeping now. Although the darkness of dusk was approaching at a rapid speed, and Odysseus kept silent as usual, but had a awful
Beam bridges can be defined as the bridge spans with the simplest structural or anatomical forms. They are supported by a pier or a dock at each of the ends. The support is further enhanced using props or simply beams. They are meant to increase the support. The beams are said to be simply supporting the structural forms since there is no conveyance of moments all through the support. Bridges can be made in a simple manner depending on what they are used for and the place where they will be used
I. Introduction The purpose of this lab was to observe and record the bending stress and elastic properties multiple materials. A three-point bend is when a force is applied to the center of an object while it is supported on each side. This experiment was performed to record each material's flexural behavior so applications can be made with appropriate materials. The objective was to calculate the elastic modulus for each material tested. II. Methodology To start the lab, one measures and
From the first truss bridge, engineers experimented with different forms of truss bridges trying to find better shape and the one that will suit them for the particular problems. Because of that we have today many forms of truss bridges. Truss bridge can have deck (roadbed) on top (deck truss), in the middle (through truss), or at the bottom of the truss. If the sides of the truss extend above the roadbed but are not connected, it is called a pony truss or half-through truss. The common concept

James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl is about a lonely nine-year-old orphan who lives with his two greedy aunts. Their names were Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. What happened in the book is that an old man gave James a bag full of one thousand long slimy crocodile tongues that were boiled up in the skull of a dead witch for twenty days and nights with the eyeball of a lizard. When the tongues were released, they went in the ground and then into a peach tree. There was a peach that started growing
Bridges have been in existence since the dawn of mankind. The most primitive type of suspension bridge is simple suspension bridge. Vine ropes were used to link two sides of the chasm by tying it to strong trees that act as the anchor and wooden planks were placed at the base as platform for people to walk on. Sir Ken Robinson once said ‘Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it’s produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.’(TED 2009) Creative engineers in the 19th century
Truss engineering is the design and creation of trusses that are made of one or more potential materials. Trusses are crafted from a straight and slender pieces of material manufactured then connected at various joints to form a triangular shape. The common purpose of truss is to construct a large structure with the shape and design of truss adding strength and weather resistance to the overall structure(Šimi & Ilijaš, 2012). Truss can be designed as planar trusses, which are a two dimensional shape
The column dimensions were 10 in. in the north-south direction (denoted as y-direction on the confined concrete column cross-section) and 15 in. in the east-west direction (denoted as x-direction on the confined concrete column cross-section). A concrete cover of 0.75 in. was used on all sides of the confined concrete column. Eight ASTM A706 Grade 60 #7 deformed steel bars were used for the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement bars inside the confined concrete of the column. The selection of ASTM
Even though Industrialization was bad for people but it really helped the immigrants in different ways. Some people it was hard to adapt to the new economy and on the other hand, some people adapt to the new economy really fast. Change of the economy changed the look of the countries. Industrialization was very helpful for the industry owner and very rough for workers in the industries. Industrialization brought advantages which also include disadvantages. Industrialization was mostly dependent on
Princess Sparkle Heart gets a Makeover by Josh Schneider, is a book that reflects both traditional and nontraditional norms because it’s about a girl, Amelia, and her doll that becomes damaged and then replaced with different body parts that don’t fit cultural expectations that normally portray a girl doll and Amelia still views her as beautiful. From looking at the book cover, you would expect this book to only reflect traditional norms. The title is pink, sparkly, and the font is flowy but at
“Say cheese!” said Dr. Prescott. Sierra smiled as the camera flashed. “Good!” Dr. Prescott added, “let’s get you set up in a chair, and the orthodontist will take a look at your teeth, in a few minutes.” When Dr. Prescott left, Sierra explored the tiny room she was in. “Hi, Sierra!” announced Dr. Dragon as he walked in the room, “how is sixth grade?” Sierra couldn’t talk over the tools that were in her mouth. As they finished, Sierra zoomed to her mom. “I still don’t see why I need braces, mom
Semester 1 Extra Credit for Unit 1 Test: Ch. 31 Diffraction and Interference The idea that wave fronts from light are made up of tinier wave fronts was originated from the Dutch mathematician and scientist Christian Huygens. Every point acts like a new source of waves from the light. Huygens’ principle states that every point on any wave front can be regarded as a new point source of light. The laws of reflection and refraction can be shown using Huygens’ principle as well. The concept of diffraction
absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter. Dependence of this process related to the wavelength of the radiation. Spectrometers are used to measure the properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fig 1: Dispertion of the visiable light 2. Theory Grating Spectrometer: In a spectrometer if diffract light into specific wavelengths then uses grating. In this figure (2) we can see that light passes through the Input
hazards Thermal effects laser radiation injury, but photo-chemical effects can also be of concern for specific wavelengths of laser radiation. Some lasers are so powerful that can hazardous the eye. The coherence and low divergence angle of laser light, aided by focusing from the lens, can cause laser radiation to be concentrated into an extremely small spot on the retina. Powerful lasers in the visible to near infrared range (400 to 1400 nm) will penetrate the eyeball and may cause heating of the
Many girls dream of their knight in shining armor, a perfect wedding, and a happily ever after ending. Disney princesses give them hope to find love and happiness along with emphasizing their want for the beauty and grace princesses illustrate. Authors of “Cinderella and Princess Culture” and “The Princess Paradox,” Peggy Orenstein and James Poniewozik respectively, agree that most girls like princesses. However, these articles convey differing parental opinions on lessons girls learn from princesses
use large amounts of energy. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have a new approach which could dramatically change what we know. The idea is to find new ways of creating sources of light at a microscopic level or reducing the cost of systems already in place. The new research could have the most detailed images ever, seeing soft tissue without contrast
1. For the unknown light source, it had almost every color, so it might have been be mercury because they have similar color beams and their color from the naked eye appeared as purple, which mercury, a light blue, is very close to in terms of it's color from the naked eye. For the unknown flame crystals, it may NH4+ because the colors that appeared are very similar to the crystals. 2. Chemicals have to be heated in the flame for the color to emit because heat adds energy to the substance making
Fig shows 3.13 powder diffarction pattern (it shows diffraction lines and holes for incident and transmitted beam) If a powdered specimen is used,instead of a single crystal,then there is no need to rotate the specimen,because there will always besome crystal at an orientation for which diffraction is legitimate.Here a monochromatic X ray beam is incident on a powdered or polycrystalline sample.This method is use ful for samples that are difficult to obtain in single crystal form. The powder method
c) There remained one problem that Huygens theory of light could not solve, which also led to why his theory was not accepted by the science community. Erasmus Bartholin as Danish physicist had begun experimenting with transparent calcite crystals. He found in his results that when an image is places behind a crystal the same image appears slightly higher than the other. When the crystal is rotated, he saw that image disappeared while the other rotated with it. This lead Batholin to conclude that
