Aims and Objectives of the Experiment

This experiment aims at studying the characteristics of titrations with the strength of different acids used in these titrations. This is done by drawing the titration curves of the different titrations that are carried out in this experiment and interpreting those curves. The units of measurement for this experiment are the standard units that are used in titrations. These are molarity (moles/liter) of substances while the quantities are measured in mL (milliliter).

Summary Of Proposed Research

Global drought not only affects the world agriculture and economics, but interactively affects the phenotypic trait of plants across a different diversity gradient. Nevertheless, plants are able to adapt themselves to the drought environment by changing their phenotypic trait. From previous research at Jena Drought Experiment, in Germany, the results show that diversity not only has the capability to increase community’s resistance to drought, but also to increase community’s recovery ability after drought. On the other hand, the results show that the drought environment makes a strong selection on both, the plant phylogeny and functional trait. Yet, ...

Thesis: With the help of vivid characters, unexpected plot, and stylistic devices the stories “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell and “The Child by Tiger” by Tomas Wolfe raise the question of a twofold nature of every human who lives balancing between being a victim and a predator.

Introduction

The main ideas of “The Most Dangerous Game” and “The Child by Tiger”. The theme of human cruelty and ambiguity of human soul described in two stories. The basic conflicts of the stories and the moral questions they raise. The main differences in the message conveyed by the authors. The ...

Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is true to the characters, plot, and language of the original play. However, it is not just a flat, uninspiring copy. Instead, it builds on Shakespeare's language and the play's cast of characters with the addition of cinematography, sound, and other elements. The effectiveness of these elements is especially prevalent in the early part of act 1, scene 1, where Benedict and Beatrice trade barbs after Claudio and Hero have been introduced. The effective use of sound and blocking in this scene serves to highlight how others view Benedict ...

‘Oedipus the King’ was written by the Greek playwright Sophocles. Though a tragedy, like many from the Greek classics, it is laden with meaning that finds relevance even today in the modern world. The story contains a riddle about a murder and how it politically affects the state. The story, in a few words, is about the downfall of a brave warrior. This theme recurs in all cultures and can be found in almost any literature in the world. Since the theme is universal, folk cultures are replete with ballads to depict such tales. With the development of literature, ...

The Mendelsohn elements, in theory, include portal quest, immersive, intrusion and liminal that helps in classifying the antagonists in the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘The Midsummer Night's Dream.' The protagonists and antagonists from both pieces of fantasy literature have various character traits that are similar and different. Fantasy literature has been used to refer to an imaginary universe that uses magic as well as other supernatural elements. Therefore, the authors have created the characters according to imaginary creatures to fit the overall genre of the story. In most fantasy literature stories, there is a happy ending for the protagonist ...

The genre of films has been in existence for an extended period estimated to more than one century (Jones, 2005). Horror movies just like any other kind in the entertainment industry have changed and evolved over time. The paper focuses on the similarities and differences of the classical horror films vs. the ...

I agree with you on both points that you make. I do think that healing gardens in a working environment could stimulate productivity and activity, especially to those that are open to receiving, or made aware of, the positive energies that a healing garden generates. That is to say, for those people that are not open to the idea, there is likely not much that they will see and feel in a healing garden. I recall once having a talk with friends that had travelled to Japan and said that had the opportunity to stay at a Buddhist temple. ...

Introduction

The various forms of literature can best be defined by their format of presentation. In fact, every type of literary work employs a unique mechanism in its method of delivery and this attribute differentiates all literature pieces. For starters, poems have a rhythmic tone in their presentation that is achieved through the skillful composition of the stanzas and rhyme. On the other hand, short stories utilize multiple literary devices and narration in the presentation of the plot. Additionally, the characters in this type of literature have unique attributes intended to communicate a hidden message to the reader. Plays, on ...

This study seeks to unearth some underlying issues in arts and literature development. Since time immemorial, symbolism has been thought to be playing a critical role in the development of literature, both directly and indirectly (Gait 29). As a matter fact, this study would try to engage various literary aspects, particularly those literary genres that have used symbolism not just in an ordinary sense to the sense of achieving worldwide accolade. Well, it is an undeniable fact that symbolism is crucial aspect of literature, as a matter of fact, writers can attest to it. Even though people do not ...

Introduction

Akira Kurosawa's Ran is based on the 16th Century play, King Lear, by William Shakespeare. The main plots behind the two works are identical. Besides Ran’s adapted parallel characters like Hidetora, there are theme similarities and differences. In both stories, a leader decides to divide his kingdom among three heirs and a child identifies their father’s undoing in both. The similarities and differences in the plots of the two works underpin major similarities and differences in themes. For example, both works capture the theme of conflict between authority and challenge within the family albeit not exactly in ...

The kinetic characteristics are important for the design of chemical engineering processes. They allow assessing the time required for the reaction and choosing the temperature range suitable for the reaction. The reaction path is observed by measurments the transmittance of the Crystal Violet solution that reacts with sodium hydroxide. The concentration, and the color of the solution changes with the reaction flow, and this is measured by the spectrophotometer.

The data are plotted as concentration - time and logarithm concentration time, and the reaction rate is:

The film, 300, which was based on a graphic novel written by Miller and Lynn tells the story of the legendary King Leonidas of Sparta and how his 300 men courageously defended the pass of Thermopylae from the invading Persian army (Miller & Lynn). The film, however, was highly sensationalized. Miller, himself, admitted that ‘300’ was deliberately made exaggerated and historically inaccurate in some of its scenes for the purpose of making it more interesting and exciting. One of the many historical inaccuracies of the film 300 was the depiction of Sparta’s rite of passage. In the ...

When someone hears the word hero, it brings a feeling of respect. Each country has its heroes and honors them, perpetuating their names in books, movies and memorials, composing songs about them and their idealized images. But there are some heroes that are unreal and were composed by people with certain purposes and during a certain period of time. One of them is World War II that brought not only destruction, but also creation. It is a turning point it the world of comics, as many of the iconic heroes began in WWII period and are still popular with ...

Question 2

Forms of slave trade resistance Resistance to the slavery act was put in a number of ways, all of which led to the abolition of the slavery as an institution in the American system during the second half of the 19th century. The slavery resistance was confronted on two main arms of resistance. The first arm is the slaves themselves. The second arm consisted of the abolitionists, who persistently called for the slave trade to come to an end in a more louder and forceful way within the last two decades of the 18th century. The Africans showed resistance ...

The study focuses on application of regression in weight management. It assess the relationship between calorie intake and exercise among children. The motivation for the study is to find out whether behavioral changes can be effective in weight management. It is argued that calorie intake from food and exercise influence weight. We get calories from food which is used by our bodies. If the calories are more than what we need it is stored in the body which causes weight gain. Exercise expends the calories thus preventing weight gain in the process. Studies have shown that height is also ...

Although China is known to be the home of the world's ancient and most continuous culture, it has experienced many institutional changes since the Communist regime came into power in 1949. In China, foundation of hierarchy and family, social set up was based on relational norms that were expounded by Confucius and Tang Dynasty's legal codes. Such an institutionalized relational kind of logic has shaped the society whereby the order is based on the social obligation to the authorities and family as opposed to the protection of individuals. The country’s history has been marked by two intertwined social ...

Botkin and Kellar (2014) describe an ecosystem as “communities of organisms and their nonliving environment in which nutrients and other chemicals cycle and energy flow.” I have chosen the forests of Pennsylvania as a holistic ecosystem to examine. Pennsylvania has approximately 17 million acres of forest, making up 59% of this State. The predominant species associations are oak/hickory in the central and southern areas and Northern hardwood (including black cherry, maple and birch) in the north and north-west (Sustaining Penn’s Woods, 2001). The vast forest area contains mature ecosystems with the aforementioned tree species as the climax species. ...

Introduction

Bend (flexure) testing is often done in springs as well in brittle materials whose behaviors of failure are linear like concrete, wood, plastic, glass and ceramics. Bend testing is suitable for evaluating the strength of brittle materials where the results of tensile tests aren’t easy to interpret due to the breaking of specimens around the gripping (Schoffstall, Charles, and Robert 234). In bend testing experiment, smooth rectangular specimens without notches are recommended under three or four point bend arrangements. Figure I below illustrates three point and four point bend arrangements respectively. Figure 1. Bend testing of a smooth ...

David Sedaris’s Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk is a collection of short stories, which are thought-provoking, symbolic, interpretative and at times delusional. Through the world of animals, the author immerses the reader into the world of morals, contrasts and human-relatable relationship patterns. The main devices, used for this, are personification and irony. With personification it is more or less straightforward: animals represent people, which adds spice and expressiveness to the stories. Irony, however, is used in its full force, making each story somewhat grasping and multi-layer, adding deep surface meaning to it. Overall, the purpose of the book is to ...

Part A: Language arts program

Samples: In this question, there are two samples: that of eleventh grade students who took Western Australian state school exams after the introduction of new language arts program, and that of eleventh grade students who took the Western Australian state school exams before the introduction of the new language arts program. In this regard, it is noticeable that the two samples are independent samples, because measurements are supposed to be made on each of the sample. The samples would have been drawn from two different populations: in this case, the first population is the one that undertook the new ...

Theme: Abolition and Education

The view of the stories exemplifies the theme of abolition. In both the works, the determination of the protagonist is to see slavery abolished. The plots all drive through the murky quest for freedom that eventually lead to the abolition of the slavery and eventual freedom to all. The long-raging battling against slavery took a different turn when protagonists to the slavery turned vile and rebellious to the subdued way of life. Douglass’ characterization of the events of slavery takes the war an artistic level with assertions and imagination of rebellion against the slave masters (Newman 127-52). However, Douglass’ ...

Jeffrey Eugenides presents a dilemma that most people would find unimaginable and almost impossible to face if it occurred in their lives. Suppose one grows up knowing she is a girl, only to discover one day during her teenage years that the reverse is true, or even worse she is neither a girl nor a boy. It is unthinkable if such an individual discovered s/he is both. The author presents this kind of continual dilemma in this piece where the protagonist struggles to find a precise self-definition, a development that makes life almost unbearable. A universal reasoning in this ...

Income and Expenditure

Introduction Income and expenditure contributes largely to economic measures of an individual, country or continent. They determine the credit worthiness of a person or economic stability of a given country. Hence, my report will cover how income of an employee relates with his expenditure in the U.S. What actually am determined to prove is that, when a person gets higher income will his or her expenditure increase or decrease? For instance, I managed to find discrete data concerning income and expenditure from the ‘Economic data for the U.S.: http://www.bea.gov/’. The data had three variables namely, months starting from the ...
