The mid-20th century saw a number of developments and changes in the way cinematic language and technique was being utilized in film. Given the huge economic and social impact of World War II on all of Europe, particularly France, new ways of expressing the anxieties and concerns of the people had to be created. The French New Wave (or nouvelle vague) was born as a result of this post-war reconstruction and reflection, allowing European cinema to transition from dark, serious looks at the gritty realism of life (as evidenced by Italian neorealism) to worlds of stylized editing, frenetic energy ...

Introduction

A wind turbine is a device that uses the kinetic energy derived from wind to create mechanical energy. This simply means the wind’s force pushes the blade into motion. Different wind turbines have different ways of extracting wind energy like most machines. Aerodynamics, on the other hand, simply refers to the flow of air about a body. This makes aerodynamics to be a critical aspect of wind turbines as this flow of air about the turbines is what determines its power output. This paper focuses on the aerodynamic behavior of wind turbines (Hansen 21).

Theory

A magnetic field refers to magnetic control of electric currents and the magnetic materials, specified by both direction and strength. It results from moving electric charges and the magnetic moments of elementary particles related with their spin. It can also be defined as its force exerted on a charged particle in motion. Magnetic field lines normally form in concentric circles around a current currying conductor cylindrical in nature for example a length of wire. The strength of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the length of the wire or the distance for an infinite length.

Abstract

In an ecosystem, the existence of any species of animals or plants solely depends on the capability to adapt to its environment. This is true because, those species which are poorly adapted become extinct. For example, trees that could not adapt to harsh conditions of the desert were eliminated and those species that were well adapted were spared. This is basically what is called natural selection (Jeff et al 9). Similarly, those animal species that could not adapt to any given environmental conditions of an ecosystem were easily eliminated out of existence.
Human being, on the other hand, changes ...

Wind is a major limiting factor in the marine ecosystem. Wind affects waves, dune system, sediment transportation, currents, and weather. Wind has profound effects on the waves. As wind move over the surface of the oceans, the abrasions between the wind and the water surfaces lead to formation of waves. The speed of wind also affects the size of the waves formed. When the speed of the wind is very high, the abrasion between the wind and the surface of the water increases leading to huge waves. In the event that the speed of the wind is low, the ...
