Abstract

Materials exhibit different chemical and mechanical properties such as strength and durability. Combining different materials to form a material composite enhances their individual properties in different measures. In this experiment, the mechanical strength of composite sandwich structures was investigated through bending. Four samples were investigated for their properties on bending and strength. Three of the four polystyrene beams were reinforced with paper while the fourth beam was investigated without paper reinforcement. One of the beams was bonded with construction paper on one side; the next bema was bonded with construction paper on both sides while the third beam was ...

Business Ethics

In the United States, drug companies enjoy a high-profit margin. It means that when purchasing different commodities, Americans incur high costs, unlike Canadians or Europeans. The drug industry has been noted as the most profitable sector in the economy in the last two years. The United States drug prices do not indicate a fair and competitive market since they sell only a handful of essential drugs with the aim of establishing a top selling market (Williams, 1985). Pharmaceutical companies have ethical responsibilities that contrast with that of small biotechnology organizations regarding research and innovation. For instance, CV Therapeutic is ...

In the United Sates, law enforcement is highly effective, and it is respected well internationally. However, the composition of law enforcement in the United States is among the most complex in the world. The early modern police departments in the United States were modeled after their predecessors in England. The United Sates law enforcement agencies adopted the mission of crime prevention and control, the preventative patrol idea, and the quasi-military organizational structure, which had been early London model (Walker & Katz, 2012). Other significant concepts that were borrowed from England incorporated the local control of police agencies and limits on ...

The news on page 103 documents the tragedy of the Big Dig ceiling cave-in. the tunnel ceiling collapsed before completion killing one person. The collapse was attributed to the use of fast-drying glue to secure ceiling bolts. It was contented that the supplier of the bolts failed to warn the constructors that the glue was not appropriate for over head use. It was further stated that the supplier was aware that the bolts were loosening even before the entire ceiling was completed.

When considering cinema as a visual art form, the role of sound must also be acknowledged – filmmakers employ sound and music as a fundamental component of storytelling within most films not found in the silent era. However, the way in which sound is used within cinema is a subject for debate – how does the sound relate to the images? Some theorists, like Sergei Eisenstein, intrinsically link visuals and sound in a process known as montage. Others, like Bunuel, believe that cinema as a whole should include a sense of poetry, which sound and music can contribute to as central elements of the narrative. While the ...

Employee benefits include several types of non-wage compensation provided to workers on top of their regular salaries or wages. In cases where a worker transfers wages for some of another form of benefit is referred to as salary packaging or salary exchange arrangement (Shariatmadari, 2012).

Examples of such benefit comprise of housing (employer-paid or employer-provided), group insurance (health and dental, life), disability income assurance, daycare, tuition reimbursement, retirement benefits sick leave, vacation, social security, funding of education, profit sharing, and other specific benefits (Armstrong, 2007). ...

A glider is defined as heavier than air aircraft supported in the air by dynamic air reactions against its lifting surfaces. Normally, its free flight does not depend on an engine. Most of the gliders do not have engine, though the motor gliders have engines meant for extending their flight when requires and some are powerful allowing them to take off. Because of their specialized use, gliders are quite different from powered airplanes. This is made obvious by several characteristics. One is the completely different arrangement of the landing gear, a result of the lightweight of the aircraft and the ...

Films, in and of themselves, ostensibly carry meaning (whether intentional or not) and thematic/narrative messages that are conveyed in various ways (King, 2001). The many elements that comprise the moving image and story of a film - performance, mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and more - are the tools used by filmmakers and actors to convey these messages. Whether explicit or implicit, the message and overall meaning of a film can be derived from a close examination of these elements. Two films that use these elements to a great extent to convey their meaning - Barton Fink and The Night of the Hunter - will ...

Thesis Statement

Reading problems are common among children in their first levels of learning but it has been seen to continue in some cases up to adulthood. Many of the people with reading disabilities have been associated with limited intelligence and these people have at times been said to have autism. However, associating reading disorder with autism and limited intelligence is all wrong. This is because there is medical and academic proof that dissociates reading disorder with limited intelligence.
