Winning the lottery has, in modern America, been associated with winning a huge sum of cash after getting the right combination of numbers. In the case of Jackson’s The Lottery however, ...

Abstract

The Altar basin found in the north western Sonora of Mexico, is a known subsidiary basin forming the present inactive part of the Colorado River delta. The sedimentary records of this basin show how the delta upgraded over a late Miocene. A structurally distinct aquatic basin at the northern end of the Gulf of California is found. Our interpretation of outcrop data, and information from exploratory wells, as well as analog seismic lines of Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), and magnetic and gravity explorations from various sources pointed to the existence of three sedimentary sequences, which can be related at regional scale ...

A brake is a device that produces artificial resistance to the moving part of a machine to stop or slow down its motion. Any machine or its part that is in motion possesses kinetic energy. As per physical laws, energy cannot be destroyed; its form can only be transformed. The brake system converts the kinetic energy of the moving machine or part into thermal, potential or chemical energy. Brake systems are of various types utilized in different applications in industries, home appliances, vehicles, railway trains, and other sectors. This paper has focused on the brake systems used in vehicles, ...

Summary of the geotechnical and structural problems of the I-495 Bridge

The I-495 Bridge in Wilmington, Delaware experienced geotechnical and structural problems leading to its closure. According to structural engineers, the closure of the bridge was following an external force that caused the four pillars of the bridge to tilt. The 11-mile long bypass through the bridge remains closed for an unknown time. The tilting pillars were because of a shifting force on the earth surface, but the engineers had not yet identified the source. Engineers and workers are using shovels, and high-powered sensors to discover the main cause of the shifts on the ground (Nann, and Jeff 1).

Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” is one of the most famous short stories written in the last century. It is a classic piece of literature, with one of the quintessential elements of an excellent piece-- a truly shocking surprise ending. “The Lottery” explores a number of different thematic ideas, but does a particularly excellent job in presenting the themes of violence and inhumanity, especially as they are expressed against a backdrop of normality. Jackson utilizes a number of rhetorical devices to examine the humanity and inhumanity of the people in the village, and uses the microcosm of the village to represent the state of the ...

In the U.S. two types of standard structural bolts have been approved for use: ASTM A490 and ASTM A395 (Williams, 2001, p. 44).

ASTM A395

Usually, the ASTM A325 covers the heavy structural bolts with high strength that range in size from half diameter to one and half diameter. The given bolts are often used in various structural connections (Williams, 2001, p. 54). They characteristically have shorter thread lengths when compared to the standard hex bolts. There are two types of A325: Type 1 and type 3. Type 1 is made of carbon baron, medium carbon, or an alloy of medium ...
