In both Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” and Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est,” each poet arms themselves with certain devices to create emotional tones that drive how they feel about war. For Howe, war seems to be glorious and good. For Owen, it is clearly undignified and evil. The emotional tone set by Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” is safe and content, whereas the emotional tone of Owen’s “Dolce et Decorum Est” is chaotic and unsettling. Both poets use alliteration, meter, and rhyme in nearly opposite ways to strike at the heart ...

The metric system has been developed by the French chemist Lavoisier as a unit of measurement (“The Metric System Units,” n.d.), which can be used for measuring lengths, weights and volumes. The relation of multiples and sub-multiples of metric units are denoted by powers of ten and the unit names are prefixed, with the prefix hector denoting 100; kilo denoting 1000; and mega denoting 1 million. In addition, the prefix deci denotes a tenth of a value; centi denotes a hundredth of a value; and milli denotes a thousandth of a value.

In this laboratory activity, the use of the metric units will be investigated. This ...

1.0 Lab 1: Heating Value Measurements: Solid and Liquid Fuels with a Bomb Calorimeter
1.1 Introduction
Measurements of heating values can be derived for both solid and liquid combustible fuels using an Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter. The calorimeter measures heat. Heat is not the same thing as temperature. The heat of combustion is called the calorific value. The calorific value is “:the number of heat units liberated by a unit mass of a sample when burned with oxygen in an enclosure of constant volume” (Introduction 2007). The experiment uses the 6100 Bomb Calorimeter. The definition of calorific value in a bomb calorimeter ...

What is sunlight?

The sun provides tirelessly every square meter of the earth's surface, which it attacks, with an average of about 1370 watts of power (in the form of electromagnetic radiation). We say that the sun burns, but actually it does not. Instead, the sun is a giant nuclear reactor (Layton & Freudenrich, 2000). This solar energy is called the solar constant, since it does not change, except for minor fluctuations. Solar energy is sent in the form of light waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave. The frequency of light - or how fast the waves vibrate - determines the differences in color. ...

Cooperate citizenship has other names that are synonymous with it. It is also known by other names such as corporate social responsibility or corporate conscience. It is a self-regulatory mechanism where an institution or a company checks and ensures that is actively complying with the spirit, the law ethical standards and national and international norms. More than compliance it engages in activities that further some social goods, beyond the concerns of the company and law requirements. The main concern is increased profits and shareholders trust through promising public relations and participation. Corporate citizenship strategies encourage the company to make ...

Abstract

Color and texture are important attributes related to vegetable quality. The objective of this study was to determine the changes in quality characteristics, caused by cooking time, and pH (alkali and acid addition) in some vegetables. Four different vegetables — carrots, spinach, red cabbage and cauliflower — were analyzed for changes in color and texture associated to time of boiling, the effect of alkali (baking soda), and the effect of acid (vinegar and cream of tartar). Samples of each vegetable were prepared and treated for five minutes. Color change was measured visually and using the L*a*b* technique. Color and ...

Although the two poets Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes derived their inspiration and influence from the need to redeem the African Americans’ consciences from the shackles of the white supremacist oppression, their approach to poetry contrasted with respect to form, style, and the use of illusions (Reid 48). The poems ‘Harlem’ and ‘Yet Do I Marvel’ as written by Hughes and Cullen demonstrate differences in form and style in ways that illustrate the manner in which the poets attempted to locate their subject matter from the multiple influences that determined the thematic and formal structures of the poems. Hughes ...

Edgar Allen Poe wrote “The Raven” in 1945. The poem shows how lost love can lead to depression. Depression, and mental illness in general, is a topic common to many of Poe’s works, and he often uses an unreliable narrator as one of the primary means of showing such depression. Following the death of the woman he loved, a male speaker narrates “The Raven,” and through this first person account, the reader is allowed a glimpse of his descent into madness. Through the poem, Poe demonstrates to how the experience of losing a loved one can propel someone ...

Watching such excellent players as Kobe Bryant play always evoked mixed feelings in me – excitement, entertainment and discouragement. While one may wonder why Bryant could be a discouragement, others may understand that it is not the easiest of tasks to play like Kobe Bryant. I, however, made a promise to myself, to learn how to play basketball, and make the best out of my capability. This marked the beginning of what could later turn out to be a very interesting experience. Today, I may neither be the best basketball player, nor match Bryant’s skill, but I can explain to a wiling learner, ...

Water and Its Unique Properties

Water is has a unique physical and chemical properties which are essential to life and to the earth processes such as climate change. Water molecules generally consist of one oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms. However the atoms do not share equal electrons thereby making water slightly charged—exhibits polarity. Water molecules interact with other water molecule through a weak hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds allow water to interact also with other polar substances. Water is known as the universal solvent. Thus, it has the capacity to dissolve various polar substances like ammonia and nonpolar substances such as methane (Freudenrich, 2011).

There is a relationship between volcanic eruption and the climate of a place. After the eruption, the poisonous sulphur dioxide which is emitted out as a volcanic product, reacts and get oxidized to form sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere, hence affecting the climate adversely (Forster 2007). Volcanic ashes and particles having diameter larger than 2 um also affects the atmosphere. According to Ramaswamy (1996), ozone depletion results when the volcanic aerosols react with the balanced chemistry in the stratosphere. Mid and high latitudes volcanic eruptions create drastic climatic changes. The aerosols here retain over the hemisphere and cause climate to change. For ...

In the Edward Arlington Robinson poem “Richard Cory,” the titular character is a rich and kind man who has everything you could imagine a person needs. While he is rich, he is also benevolent with his wealth, providing charity and giving what he has to others. He is also very polite and well-mannered. Despite this outward happiness, by the end of the play he abruptly takes his own life. Robinson, in describing the hyperbolically good qualities of Cory, seeks to surprise his audience by showing that even the people’s perception of Cory as happy is proven false.

The Poetry of Langston Hughes

Although African-American writer Langston Hughes wrote in every literary genre, his poetry reveals much about his picture of what it was like to be black in America in the first part of the twentieth century. The tone of his poems, like “Mother to Son,” “The Weary Blues,” and “Saturday Night” are different from each other. However, a factor that unifies all three poems is the lyrical nature of the words; each poem captures an aspect of life, using rhythm and music to depict the different situations and attitudes of the characters within. The musicality of Hughes’s poems is designed ...
