Image info: Christiaan Huygens’ observational drawing of Mars shows a triangular feature which known today as Syrtis Major.

Telescope used: Huygens used a telescope created by himself (1655). It was a good 2-inch (5.1-cm) telescope of 10.5-foot (3.2-m) focal length and 50x magnification. (Sheehan)

Observer: Christiaan Huygens

Exposure time: Observations were taken over a number of weeks. Other relevant details: Huygens used results of his observations of Mars to measure Mars’ rotational period. He measured it as 24 hours (only one hour away from the rotational period of the planet recognized today). It should be noted that the most prominent and largest crater of the Mars was named after Huygens (14.0°S, 304.4° ...

Errors involved in digital image capturing and processing can either be systematic or random. Systematic errors are classified into geometric distortions, spectral errors and distortions. Geometric distortions are caused by sensor-Earth geometric variations which affects the position of a pixel relative to other pixels,. In digital images, the pixel position is compared to the other pixels in the scene and the absolute position of the pixel relative to real coordinates in latitudes and longitudes. Geometric distortions can render the image and the information expected to be derived from the image as useless,. This is because the image is sometimes ...

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

Poems on Passing the Ruined Capital of Ōmi

The sections of the poem are as follows: it consists of a long chōka, and there are two envoys following it. In the first longer part, chōka, Hitomaro mentions the ruler who has chosen to move the capital from the location “under heavens” (Shirane, 2012) to a “wild place” (Shirane, 2012), and wonders how the ruler could have made such a decision. The author also describes the present desolation of the former capital, as its ruins stand in the spring sun. The contrast between the observed ruins, the broken, demolished city, and the past majesty of the ...

Equality between females and males cannot be attained using legal channels only. How people, cultures, and societies perceive gender and equality can make an immense difference. The aspect means that individuals must start believing and behaving as if women and men are equal. The attitudes towards equality and females are shaped in various ways. They can arise from personal experiences, social values, or people’s upbringings. Two essential contributors of stereotypes and attitudes are culture and popular media. This paper examines popular media particularly print media to identify how women are represented as well as their presence or absence ...

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an Italian physicist, astronomer, philosopher, engineer and mathematician. He was a critical figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Galileo is perhaps most synonymous with the invention of the modern telescope which has since helped man to discover countless things about the universe. In regard to astronomy, Galileo is erroneously credited with the discovery of the first telescope. His contribution was carrying out massive improvements on the existing telescopes. In 1609, Galileo learnt about the spyglass which was crudely used in ordinary life to view distant places on the land. Galileo began to ...

The history of food preservation begins with the understanding that the spoilage of food

begins from the moment it is harvested and left in open air. The earliest of methods used by man included freezing meat in the winter or drying certain foods under the sun. One of the ways by which man could move from one place to another while carrying an ample supply of food was by preserving it and preventing meats and other food stuff from spoiling. The need to kill and eat foods all at one time was prevented by the idea of food preservation. It is noted that different civilizations used various methods of preservation, mainly those which ...

Background

Successful modern business marketing lays emphasis on meeting the needs of the customers. This focus is a departure in the opposite direction from the traditional business whose major concern was selling its products or services. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way of meeting not only the direct customers’ desires but also the needs and expectations of all the stakeholders of a business (Ortenblad 2016). Unethical profiteering practices of large companies and customer awareness due to free flow of information have forced many companies to make CSR a key strategic focus in their conduct of business. Besides enabling a ...

The movie Interstellar showed the difficulties of finding a new planet to inhabit. This is mainly because the Earth is a unique planet that had been able to cater to the specific needs of humans up until human survival had become in question. Furthermore, this paper will discuss the important aspects to look for in a new planet to ensure the survival of our species. First, the atmosphere of the planet should be taken into consideration. This is important since humans have evolved to survive in an atmosphere with ample amount of oxygen and other gases. Without an atmosphere ...

It is well-known that Native American cultures are characterized by their unbreakable connection with nature and peculiar spirituality which differs profoundly from that of Christians and other newcomers to the New World. The Cherokee and Iroquois tribes are distinguished by quite unusual and interesting perceptions of the world, origins of humans and morality, and these perceptions are embodies in Native oral traditions, cosmology and legends handed down from one generation to another. As Parker notes, “the creation story is for every group and for every person some form of coming to an awareness of their own existence, their world ...

Introduction

The thesis paper will reveal that Galileo’s notions of the sun’s stability and the earth’s movement illustrate the conflicting Science-Religion theory. Galileo supported Copernicus’s opinion about the sun’s stability and the movement of the earth strongly despite strong oppositions from the Holy Church. Although he depicted aspects of honesty concerning the opinions of the sun and the earththroughout his trial, the Holy Church still held otherwise and commanded to oppose his opinions.

I was lucky enough to find myself having fun with people who were complete strangers to me not one month ago, and despite that I was always losing willingness to make a journey to a city which was new with people who were unknown, I found that outside of my comfort zone was exactly where the most beautiful part of the world existed and thrived. That fine Tuesday, the sun had lost its fiery and the hot summer noon had eased into a calm evening in the scorching desert sand and all around me, people were talking and cheering. ...

The Lament for Prince Peer of the Sun, of The Lament for Prince Kusakabe, is among the earliest poetic works of Kakinomoto no Hitomaro that have survived until modern days. The poem, which is an elegy in form, was originally intended to commemorate the late Japanese crown prince Kusakabe, a successor of the emperor Tenmu. The beginning lines of the poem point to the place of Kusakabe’s temporary burial palace and express the poem’s relation to the mourning period following Kusakabe’s premature death. The first meaningful section of the poem is a clear allusion to Japanese ...

How Iconography and Hieratic Scale give us the Message of the Stele of Naram-Sin

The construction of the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin took place in the Sippar’s Sun God Cult in celebration of King Naram-Sin’s triumph over the people of the Lullubi Mountain. The king was the fourth to rule the Semite Dynasty of the Akkadian Empire (stretching from the Inner Iran to Anatolia, and from the Mediterranean to Arabia). As shown in Figure one below, the Stele of Naram-Sin is a representation of this King’s victory (ARTH, 6). The depiction uses iconography and hieratic scale to give a unique view of what took place during the battle. Figure 1: ...

Abstract

Medical care is an obligation of the government in the United States because all citizens are entitled to the access of healthcare services. Nonetheless, the healthcare programs are not only executed on the premise of providing health services alone; but such services are to be affordable as well. Medicare part D refers to the program where the United States federal government subsidizes the cost of drugs prescribed for the patients. It also covers the drugs and the associated insurance premiums, and all these are executed to benefit the healthcare beneficiaries. This paper analyzes the Medicare Part D and the ...

I placed myself on a smooth rock in a crop of trees in order to become more in touch with nature. Disconnecting myself from everything around me other than my senses and the location I began to take in my surroundings. A few birds chirped in the distance; the sound was hollow against the trees around me. A dog barked, further away than the birds. Gray-blue clouds across the horizon from the east, lighting up pink, purple, and red as the sun began to set beyond the rolling green hills in front of me. Nearby I could hear what ...

Part 1

The current theory regarding the evolution of the earth’s ocean is that water is present during the formation of the earth. Most of the discovered materials which was more than 4 billion years old also contained evidences of the present of water (Genda, 2016). Some scientists suggest that the water on earth emerged in the surface when steam was released in the volcanoes. Additional water emerged in the surface of the earth coming from meteorites and comets during the formation of the earth. The continuous addition of water from volcanoes and meteorites or comets led to the formation ...

Introduction

Certain factors such as the need to conserve environmental purity as well as the increasing pressure on fossil fuels have prompted the increased use of alternative sources of fuel, renewable energy to be precise. Renewable energy has been cited as not only cheap to exploit but also the most environmentally friendly sources of energy due to the reduced instances of environmental pollution associated with such energy (Pasqualetti 204). Solar energy, for instance, has been largely exploited globally due to its free availability, especially along the tropics where it is abundant throughout the year. Despite the increased preference of solar ...

Introduction China is home to the most ancient and enduring human civilization. This civilization flourished for thousands of years and have survived through many succession of rulers and dynasties. The study of China’s civilization is important in order to understand China’s contemporary society. Chinese civilization can be categorized into three broad historical periods: ancient China, Imperial China and modern China. These periods, however, only serves as an imaginary partition in order to identify a certain time in the history of China. But in reality, Chinese civilization is continuous and was never interrupted even through there ...

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 by design mocks the traditional love poems of Shakespeare’s times. More traditional love poems were rife with exaggerated comparisons that extolled the beauty of the beloved. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 outright makes fun of such things in lines like the opening: “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;” (1). While much of his poem is spent describing her lover’s shortcomings, in the end he claims to love her. Shakespearean sonnets are fourteen lines long and consist of four parts (Kennedy n.p.; Owen 260). The first three parts known as quatrains each consist ...

How far back do our memories reach? Mine reaches as far back as my first experience with books, at the tender age of three.

I sat with the book every day, and asked any adult who would listen to read it to me repeatedly. Unknown to them, ...

Gold swivel ring with agate scaraboid – Gallery 171 of the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York

If we look at the Gold Swivel Ring with an agate scaraboid it is obvious that the art medium is gold and agate. The ancient jeweler clearly used the basic jewelry techniques, although his craftsmanship is impressive due to providing a product with exemplary aesthetics. However, the ring still has no recognizable subject matter. Nonetheless, the ring has a well-rounded form and the agate scaraboid is in the ovalo-rectangular form. In terms of content, this piece of jewelry despite seeming to be simple evidently proclaims that it belongs to a rich man, or rather a woman. The ring is ...

As it is known, survival in adverse conditions that threaten the life of a living being rarely depends on only the strength or intelligence of this creature. When it comes to survival, the ability to protect oneself from danger and adaptation to the conditions that are dangerous for the lives and well-being of an organism play a very important role. In The Origin of Species, Darwin said that in nature those individuals survive who “are best fitted for their places in nature” (Darwin, 1861, p. 93). So, the initial stage of natural selection is the development of some traits ...

My Relationship with the Environment

“You look at that river gently flowing by [] it's peaceful. And all of a sudden, it's a gear shift inside you. And it's like taking a deep breath and going, "Oh yeah, I forgot about this.”” – Al Gore, The Inconvenient Truth (2006). The environment. Since our birth to the world, anything that happens to it affects us in so many ways. We hear it being mentioned in a lot of our current events - something is wrong with it, and that something must be resolved soon. The thing about the environment is that all the problems related to it ...

Diseases and disorders occur due to many reasons such as bacterial or viral infections, can genetically be inherited or they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies. One such disease linked with nutritional deprivation is termed as Rickets or Osteomalacia. It is an illness which has been around for many centuries and mainly affects children. However, the prevention of rickets has been made possible with research and discovering the factors which can help improve bodily health.

On a daily basis, I use energy to watch television, listen to music, cook, take a hot shower, and warm the house. All these activities involve the use of energy, thereby making it a fundamental part of our daily lives. The sources of energy that I use include electricity, solar power, and natural gas. Renewable energy encompasses energy that is generated from resources that can be replenished naturally such as rain, sun, wind and geothermal heat (Hansen, 2014). Renewable energy sources provide energy that can be used in the generation of electricity, water and air cooling or heating, home ...

The civilization that took place in Ancient Egypt is widely known for its great achievements in various fields such as statecraft, engineering, architecture, and medicine. The large and marvelous buildings found along the banks of the Nile River still leave people at awe despite their old age. The civilization of the region is partly attributed to the unification of the Egyptians under one ruler in different sections of the Nile Valley. Empire building gave the ancient individuals a sense of stability and organization that allowed them to focus on civilized practices and behaviors. The ancient Egyptians emerged as one ...

Questions and Answers Based on Hansberry’s, A Raisin in the Sun.

Walter enquired about Ruth because he could see that she was looking fatigued. It is arguable that his concern towards her was fueled by the knowledge of her physiological situation. The fact that Ruth was pregnant means that her new physiological state might have contributed to the concern expressed by Walther in enquiring about her condition.

Explain what Mucor is and how a patient is likely to become infected with Mucor. Mucormycosis is a condition that is usually caused by mucor mycetes which are typically a group of molds. The condition is rate but in its prevalence it has been associated with high mortality and morbidity rates due to little knowledge of the condition and the fact that patients rarely present with this condition. Once identified rightly, the condition is very manageable and curable. Mucor mostly affects people with a compromised immune system and it may occur in any part of the body where the ...

Introduction

There are periods in life when it seems that it is impossible to go on, rise from ashes, or simply continue a journey. This time may be characterized as a dark hour, a gloomy dream, or a “the light vanished from our golden sun” (Wilde 25). It is challenging to encounter with the most difficult circumstances and to have strength to overcome them. Not everyone has an inner will and power to overcome the barriers and find a guiding threat again. However, literature presents the readers with the invaluable gift of experience, inspiration, and guidance, which helps to continue ...

1.0 Without putting the figures you cited into a spreadsheet, it is quick to appreciate the fact that the medical costs of obesity is clearly higher than the cost of implementing the research project. The net obesity cost (NOC)-to-project implementation cost (PIC) ratio of 10.2 [$1,429 / $140] is convincingly high. A patient’s annual savings from obesity cost can virtually finance this project implementation estimate. However, it is unclear to us if the cost of implementing the proposed exercise prescription protocol (EPP) or the actual implementation of EPP by the patient, using the necessary equipment and ...

In information systems development (ISD) projects, three parties must understand each other’s knowledge domains for the project to proceed seamlessly and efficiently. These are the project manager, the development team and the business users. Project management and system development each have their own methodologies to work with while business users have the knowledge and deep understanding of the enterprise’s business objectives that are relevant to the project. One can liken their relationship as a triangle when each has to relate well to the other two.

Lorraine Hansberry's play is one of the most famous literary works of the late 50s, which raises the issues of racism, racial discrimination, and cultural identity of African Americans. The author touches on the social problems of the postwar period, and most of these problems relates to the African-American cultural heritage. Hansberry describes the life of an ordinary African American family living in the south of Chicago. The family members' relationship and the response to the opportunity to achieve something more reveals the basis of the plot and the perspectives of the play. The play's problematics affect mainly the ...

Introduction

On most occasions, historians construct world history according to the emergence of civilizations associated with a particular empire. Egypt is one of the rich areas studied by the scholars to understand how ideas and people came together to formulate civilizations and empires. Imagine a region that is sparsely populated but still fertile and watered by several water sources. Individuals settle in the region and proceed to domesticate the animals and plants. The process of domestication is made possible by migration and riverine territories. As the population rises, so do the needs of the people. The requirements introduce political and ...

Gender is a very powerful category and one that many different people have used in order to explain culture and society. The role of women in society had for the longest time been constricted to the private sphere, the home, taking care of the children and being the primary Linchpin that could take care of the family and be the emotional and often moral center of the family. Women in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have gained more rights and have fought for equality with men. When Korean families immigrated to the United States in the ...

An issue that has been a main concern in politics has been climate change and of course global warming. Everyone wants to know if the activities of humans are changing the climate. They also want to know if it is possible they will encounter more serious disasters. However, it is difficult to provide answers as their concerns are quite challenging to those who are responsible for solving them. But it is important for all those that have concerns to understand that many new things are happening that were not predicted in the early 20th century. This is why I ...

The lines that I have chosen to analyze are as follows:

1. Taken from chapter four on positioning, Sun Tzu said, “You do not create the openings or opportunities that you need to advance because the environment is too large and complex to control. Instead, you must learn how to recognize opportunities created by the changes in the environment (“Chapters on Expansion,” www.scienceofstrategy.org).” Here, Sun Tzu acknowledges that nature’s method, organization, and coordination of events or opportunities is beyond man’s comprehension. To seize opportunity, an individual must train him or herself to flow and align with nature instead of trying to conquer it. 2. Taken from chapter 6 ...
