Slide 2: Bagpipes

Bagpipes fall in the aerophones class of musical instruments, which uses a source of constant air supply and enclosed reeds to produce sound notes, has historically been played in the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Europe and Caucasia. They trace the origins as far back as 1000 BC, in the Middle East. References to bagpipes have been unearthed, with evidence of Emperor Nero having been depicted playing a tibia in 2nd Century (Cannon, 2008). The arrival of the bagpipes in Europe is marked by their appearance in the continent’s iconography and art in the 13th century, before spreading to the ...

The modernist period saw a departure from traditional modes and ways of thinking and creating art. Occurring shortly after the Victorian period, the modernist period deliberately moved away from its corseted ancestry, aiming to tell the same stories but in different modes. Among these poets was Robert Frost, whose life spanned from the end of the Victorian period into the mid-1960s. Frost was a notable poet, although not necessarily a modernist: he celebrated individuality, man’s connection with nature, and a simplicity in basic truths—he also never completely broke away from traditional forms of poetry. In his poems “The Pasture,” “Mowing,” and “ ...

Abstract

It is held that women react faster to hearing than men. Evidence also existed that suggested that hearing loss that was related to age differed between women and men. While men are said to be more likely to suffer hearing loss than women. When it comes to environmental factors, women on the other hand are more likely to suffer hearing loss than men as a result of advanced age. Studies have been conducted to show that there exist differences in hearing as far as sound ranges were concerned. This theory was, therefore, attributable to hormonal differences between women and men. ...

VENOUS STASIS ULCER

Venous stasis ulcers commonly occur in the legs due to venous insufficiency or poor venous blood drainage. Veins of the legs have valves in then which ensures a proper unidirectional flow of blood towards heart. In venous stasis, these valves are damaged, thus the venous blood accumulates in the legs instead of being pumped upwards. A prolonged pooling of blood in the leg leads to increased pressure in the affected area thus causing a break in the skin and causing ulcers. The causes for venous stasis could be smoking, occupations requiring prolonged hours of standing, obesity or deep vein thrombosis.

According to Caleb Kelly, there has been an increased interest and development of the theory in culture as it relates to sound. In support of the notion above, the author purports that, Les Back and Michael Bull emphasizes that the human experience of our daily lives is predominantly meditated by a mass of mechanically generated sounds. In concurrence with the above, the author argues that cities in the modern day are noisier than they were before the sound culture evolved. Kelly in his arguments establishes that sound has gained a foothold in our understanding of art subsequent to the many large-scale ...

Respiration is essential in the survival of all living organisms. It is a process where gas exchange occurs in all biological organisms. In the case of animals such as humans, respiration is affected by the ratio of the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. The human body generally requires oxygen gas because it is only through this aerobic respiration by which metabolic functions are assumed to maintain homeostasis. In humans there is a specific organ system which is solely dedicated to respiration known as the respiratory system. The human respiratory system constitutes different types of organs which performs ...

During the early stages of the Exxon Valdez Spill, fire-resistant boom was placed on tow line and two ships were attached to the ends of boom; with slow movement of the ships, boom collected the oil which was then ignited. But this method was not useful due to the conditions of weather. Dispersants were also sprayed; with the help of booms and skimmers, mechanical cleanup was done. For the delicate areas, special cleanup techniques were approved. After more than two decades, when the Gulf of Mexico encountered an oil spill, the weapons available remain the same (Houston Chronicle, 2013). ...

Classical Conditioning

Classical conditioning is the association of an automatic reaction with a neutral occurrence. For example, a music might develop sadness for the reason that it reminds us of old buddies whom we don't see any longer. In that case, the automatic reaction of sadness is linked to a neutral occurrence. The automatic response is known as an Unconditioned Response because there's no need for us to understand or be informed to feel sad if we don't see buddies whom we want to be with. The Unconditioned Stimulation is getting divided from individuals that we want to be with us, ...

1.0 Introduction The animal communication system is significantly different from the human communication system. The latter is more advanced as compared to an animal communication system. One difference between the two communication systems is that fact that whereas human beings can use different types of media to pass across their messages; animals only use a limited number of media to communicate. It is, however important to note that similarities exist between the communication system of animals and the human communication system. For instance, communicating through the use of touch is common between animal and human communication. This means that ...

A collision refers to a physical situation where kinetic energy of momentum of an object is transferred from an object to the other one. In physics, collisions are classified as either elastic or inelastic. Conservation laws; energy conservation and momentum conservation are important tools in the analysis of collisions. Various literatures and experimental studies have confirmed that it is difficult to assess the interaction of bodies during collision. Therefore, main objective of this work is to demonstrate to relate the various parameters such as velocities and masses of the system using the principle of conservation of energy and momentum.

Psychedelic rock is an important element of rock music and in Jimi Hendrix’s songs we find this style completely at one with the mood of the time. Essentially, although psychedelic rock consists of several distorted and original sounds, it is intended to put a person into a trance and make you forget all the woes which are consistently troubling us. I have considerable experience in psychedelic rock, having listened to various albums from the late 1960’s including those by The Doors and later those of the Australian band, Rush. The influence of drugs such as LSD and others created ...

Writing a Story and The Four News Models

In Chapter 4, Freedman has shown us the different ways of writing a story. Among the various methods given, the most important one is learning how to manipulate the timeline. Simply changing or moving a couple of shots or sound bites and/or just adding an element can quickly put a new spin on a story. Indeed, manipulating the timeline could be regarded as the most effective way of making little but valuable alterations in the storyline. This method could even lead one to discovering the best version of the story. One can often find reporters using ...

Schumann’s ‘Dichterliebe’ is one of the most important song cycles in the history of music and its sixteen songs are all essentially great works. The final song is a beautiful one called ‘Die alte bosen Lieder’ where the strands of romantic art come together in a beautiful manner. This paper will attempt to argue that the song is an important part of Schumann’s artistic style and that the marriage of words and music is almost perfect.

Structure and meaning of the poem:

‘Die alte bosen Lieder’ by the famed German poet Heinrich Heine, is a dark and brooding poem in a typically melancholic setting which was all ...

Bob Dylan’s style is very much of the ages and he manages to strip down the music to the barest of its essentials. ‘All Along the Watchtower’ is a typical example of music which is stripped down to its bare essentials as Cantwell describes. All we hear is the basic instrumentation which makes the song all the more bleak and full of alienation as well as eventual resignation. These elements are reinforced by Dylan’s consistent exposure to folk music as well as other themes which make his songs so involving and full of character. Cantwell also identifies ...

Human perception of sounds is not only performed by an ear as a part of the body. In fact, a person hears through the organ of hearing, which has got complex structure. The ear is only a visible part of it. Auricle or pinna essentially acts as a funnel through which a person catches vibrations in the air. Coming through the auditory canal, they affect the eardrum – a thin membrane that separates the outer and middle ears. Then the eardrum vibrations are transmitted to the auditory ossicles and reach the inner ear, the main part of which is an organ called the bony ...

Sensory Perception

The Nervous system plays an important role in many mammals including man. The nervous system is responsible for the coordination of different stimuli in the body. Environmental changes can be felt in the body due to the nervous system present. The sense of touch, vision, audition and taste can be understood solely due to the nervous system. A minute change or deficiency in these senses could lead to fatality. A failure in perception of any of the senses makes an individual dependent. Sensory perception is essential for all living organisms and forms the basis for homeostasis. A ...

Man has long desired to conquer the skies due to his incapacity to take flight like birds and reach unimaginable speeds possible while in flight. This desire had led man to creating machines that mimicked flight, leading to the development of aviation and air transportation. With human flight now made possible through aviation, the desire to reach the speed that exceeds the speed of sound had fueled research even further to understand how it could be attained through aircrafts, automobiles and artillery. For years, several attempts have been done to reach this speed of sound or break the so-called “ ...

Making a remix EP

Background of the study The 21st century has seen a transition in the music industry in the sense that musicians have had a tendency of pirating music that belonged to a different party. This has been encouraged by the public listeners that have developed a passion for unoriginal music. As a result, musicians whose songs are remixed normally come to some sort of agreement with others with the interest of remixing their songs on order to legitimize the procedure.

Despite the formal agreements between original music owners and prospective second owners through remixes, there has been a debate on whether it is possible to ...

Introduction

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the speed of sound at room temperature using the microphone connected to a computer. Sound travels at a speed which is comparatively higher than the speed many objects. Consequently, the determination of speed of sound is technically challenging task. Most experiments rely on echo which is a reflection of sound to estimate this speed. The speed of sound at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature of 0º C is 331.5m/s. The experimental value of the speed of sound is expected to be less than the accepted value because low winter temperatures.

Verbal and Sound Communication: Dog and Human

VERBAL AND SOUND COMMUNICATION: DOG AND HUMAN 2 Verbal and Sound Communication: Dog and Human Dogs and humans have coexisted for probably thousands of years, since wolves discovered that they could forage scraps by following human hunters around, and they eventually began to hang out and become part of the human “pack.” Slowly, through evolution and intentional breeding, many different breeds of dogs have been developed, until by a recent count, we now have well over a hundred wonderful dogs from which to choose. I have decided to write about sound communication in dogs and humans, because it is ...

Navy Sonar Testing Vs. Marine Life

Sonar is an artificial form of echolocation, which involves the use of sound navigation and ranging techniques for the propagation of sound underwater. This technology is used for navigating, communicating or detecting objects that are under or above the water surface. Specialized sea creatures such as whales and dolphins have the ability to use sound reflected from waves for sensing and locating distant objects or prey, this is called echolocation. Bats also use the same technique to navigate in the dark. Humans also use echolocation through sonar technology in ships and submarines to avoid icebergs, locate ...

Robert Frost, an American poet of the late 19th century was dubbed as one of America’s finest poets. Literally, his poems reflect the serene appreciation of quiet living in the countryside, the simple appreciation over small things and the values of life (Fagan, 33). In this paper, I would like to argue that Robert Frost’s poems reflect individuality, despite the gentle poetic words of his poems. Normally, a reader might perceive Frost as an ‘effeminate; due to the quality of his chosen words. Most poets at the time of war use a much stronger voice in order to express ...

Introduction

Simply put, sonar is the use of an echo. This involves the use of sound navigation and ranging techniques for the propagation of sound underwater, with the overall intention of navigating, communicating or detecting objects that are in or on water surface. Specialized machines and sea creatures such as whales have the ability to use reflect waves for sensing shape and movement of objects and for locating these distant objects. Because there are different ranges of frequencies for sonar, there are low-frequency, mid-frequency and high-frequency sonar. Like any other use of technology or technological enhancement, sonar testing has its ...

These behaviors, scents and expressions vary depending on the physical environment and the feelings of the animal. Many animals communicate ...

Time plays a significant role in Wildcat. For example, the film depicts several shots from Grayson, Oklahoma of calf roping, a young woman wearing a bridesmaid's dress, and shots of the small town -- in black and white. The timing of the alternating sequences builds up a tension that is never quite resolved, in terms of climax, and denouement. Certain images such as the rodeo have a longer duration than others, suggesting the importance of these scenes. The shots of the bridesmaid are interspersed briefly with the action sequences of the film. At one point, the rodeo pen is filmed after the rodeo is ...

As a rule there are many components which compose the plot of a story. Some of them have a clearly central place in a text like major characters of a story. The others might seem quite peripheral and supplemental rather than independent and self-sufficient; still, they constitute an indispensable part of the story and help the writer convey the necessary mood and reach the desirable effect on the reader. Among the latters the setting of the story should be considered. Even though the setting is not an active agent in the story, it plays a very significant role: with no actual actions prescribed by ...
