Essays on Symmetry

Introduction

As the world develops, more people expect a higher and better quality of life. In the 21st Century, architecture has evolved significantly and it seeks to maximise the quality of life that people have across the world. Thus, several works have been done, seeking to blend traditional architecture with other disciplines in order to enhance the nature of the built environment. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a book review on Cognitive Architecture: Designing for How We Respond to the Built Environment by Professors Ann Sussman and Justin Hollander. This book review will include an overview of ...

Venn diagram

Venn diagrams graphical expressions used to show the relationship between two or more different sets of groups (Edwards, 2004). They show the logical relations among different sets indicating their similarities and differences (Edwards, 2004). For instance, if a class has 40 students with 25 students taking Accounting and 30 students taking Mathematics while five students are taking both Mathematics and Accounting, Venn diagrams can be used to show graphically the number of students taking each subject only as well those taking both subjects. In her article, Amy Myers articulate that Venn diagrams are not limited to three or fewer ...

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

Chronic pain is a condition of pain caused by an unresolved injury. Usually, a pain is considered chronic, if it persists for more than 3 months. It is not only a symptom of other problems but can be a syndrome having both physical as well as psychological dimensions. In order to evaluate the chronic back pain, detailed history of the patient has to be taken and thorough physical assessment has to be done (Buttaro, 2013).

Evaluation of a patient with back pain

Pain assessment can be done by the use of a mnemonic device, PQRST. P is related to provocative-palliative factors such as ...

In the video, the history of the fractals concept was discussed, as well as the milestones regarding its discovery and how it helped revolutionize the human way of understanding works. In the video, Dr. Benoit Mandelbrot is introduced, along with his discovery, the Mandelbrot set. In addition, the application ...

Introduction

William Blake is a great poet from England who was born November 28, 1757, and died August 12, 1927 (Bentley, 2016). He wrote Songs of Innocence and Songs from Experience (Poetry Foundation, 2016). In this work, William Blake speaks of two animals in opposite ways. The purpose of this paper is to write of the meaning of the two poems and compare each of the poems. The question: What are the likenesses and differences in the poems “The Lamb”, and “The Tyger” that make one poem a poem of innocence and the other poem a poem of experience? Will ...

Introduction

Architecture as a discipline has evolved over time, with architects from different periods adopting unique approaches to architecture. In the 1950’s, the architectural world saw the introduction of the theory of the postmodern architecture . This came hot on the heels of the famous modernist approach to architecture, which had the support of various classical scholars and architects. The primary argument in this paper is the fact that the post-modernist approach to architecture was a representation of the effort by architecture to establish a voice of its own. This is built on the realization that architecture is a dynamic ...

Q1: Comparison of Ancient Greek and Egyptian Architectural Designs

There are great similarities in the ancient architectural designs of pyramids in the Egyptians Old Kingdom and the Greek temples of Acropolis that were constructed within the age of the Pericles. The ancient Egyptian and Greek Civilizations are home to some of the oldest architectural structures and designs in history* . However, the evolution of architectural designs in these two civilizations has had different and similar aspects, and is also thought to have taken place within the periods of 1150 BC to 146 BC. In addition, the two civilizations existed in different geographical conditions, implying that the architects in these ...

Teaching different art forms such as dance to students is a great challenge because it requires a great deal of confidence, a deep level of understanding of arts and the right mix of skills . For this paper, the workshop that I chose to focus on was the Moth Bangarra Dance performance. I chose dance mainly because of the fact that it was one of the most recently discussed topics in the course and this particular dance workshop was the one that really struck my senses. I wanted to do a dance workshop just like it and so I chose ...

Men have always dominated in the field of mathematical studies, but some women managed to achieve there more success than their male colleagues. One of such outstanding women was Emmy Noether. Amalie Emmy Noether was a Jewish German mathematician and one of the most famous female scholars in the history of mathematics. She made significant contributions to theoretical physics and abstract algebra and established the theories of fields, rings, and algebras and famous Noether’s theorem that demonstrated bindings between conservation laws and symmetry. As Nathan Jacobson said, “Emmy Noether was one of the most influential mathematicians of the ...

Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss and describe the application of mathematics in architecture. Starting from the explanation of the meaning of architecture, we will consider the relationship between architecture and mathematics since ancient times. One of the most significant contribution of mathematics in architecture is strengthening the building constructions. This property can be traced in many ancient structures (for example, the Parthenon, the Colosseum, Stonehenge). The evolution of the types of construction design was tightly related to mathematics. In our research, we will discuss various designs, such as pyramidal, post-and-lintel and carcass construction systems. Special attention will be ...

Mathematical concepts are applied in all spheres of life (Davis, 6). For instance, mathematics has been applied in sports for decades. One of the most popular sports in the world is soccer. Soccer is played by two teams of eleven players each. The teams compete to score the maximum number of goals in 90 minutes. In order to maximize the chances of scoring, players follow a number of rules and regulations that are mostly founded on mathematical reasoning. The mathematical rules relate to field dimensions, size and shape of the soccer ball, duration of match time and angles of ...

Introduction

Parthenon's symmetrical and idealistic architecture is the result of the continuous changes of styles and ideologies in the past (see fig. 1); despite the ruined state in the modern age, Parthenon temple still continues to be the role model for all architects throughout the world. The role of the Parthenon was not only limited for priests’ rituals and to appease the deities of the Olympus. Historically, the Parthenon itself was the center of the commercial and civic activity of the ancient Greeks since many people visited the temple to worship to their Gods and this was also the perfect ...

The Statue of Liberty is a historical sculpture that is situated on the Liberty Island, Upper New York Bay in the New York City, United States of America. The statue is 93 meters tall, and it was designed between 1834 and 1904 by a French sculptor known as Auguste Bartholdi (Rhoades 2013). The main aim of designing this statue was to present it as a gift to the United States of America as a gift from the people of France. The statue is designed to resemble Libertas, who was the Roman goddess of freedom with rob on her head ...

Large spaces within the Parthenon were reserved for important sculptures (see fig. 1) and they were distinct because of their sizes; the smaller ones were either reserved for other temple rites. Furthermore, spaces were separated by walls. The most important and notable architectural elements of Parthenon are the rhythmic arrangement of the columns; alternate triglyphs and metopes (see fig. 2); bilateral symmetry characterized by the equal and same arrangement of pillars, repeated flutes on columns, and harmonic arrangement of solids and the voids (see fig. 3). The temple was built based from peripteral design (see fig. 4); taking up ...

Cimabue led the artistic crusade in late 12th-century Tuscany, seeking to break the severity of Byzantine art and renew the pictorial vocabulary. Cimabue's Madonna Enthroned is often linked to his stay in Pisa from 1301 to 1302. The elements of the artwork confirm the investigations and aspirations of how the artist encouraged the rebirth of painting in Italy. He demonstrated an innovative sensibility that brings the artwork closer to reality (The Madonna and Child in Majesty Surrounded by Angels 2015). The purpose of this study is to examine Cimabue's Madonna Enthroned and how the outstanding painter reawakened the spatial ...

Is Death an Evil?

Death, the most bitter and debilitating aspect of human life, is also a moot question among scholars. While some view it as a 'normal' part of human existence in this materialistic world, others dread it and prefer to avoid discussing this bleak end of human life. This paper sides with the optimistic viewpoint. It considers death as the end of only organic survival, not the suspension of the eternal soul that soon starts its 'another' journey. Even if we shun the soul immortality and consider death as the permanent end of life, there is no point in considering it ...

The poem The Tyger by English poet William Blake is part of the collection Songs of Experience and was published in 1794. It can be observed that the poem lacked narrative movement as the central question is already found in the first stanza of the poem. The poem in terms of meter is trochaic tetrameter combined with catalexis found in the end of each line. The tetrameter component is found in the poem is composed of a 7-8 syllable pattern. The end of each syllable was stressed then followed by the unstressed syllable. In terms of the rhyme scheme ...

Parthenon is a Greek temple dedicated to the Greek Goddess Athena. The temple was built by two architects; Iktinos and Kallikrates (Cartwright et al.). The temple was erected with the aim to preserve the monumental statue of Athena. The statue was made up of ivory and gold. The statue of Athena is surrounded by 23 small Doric columns. They are arranged in a two storey. According to Neils (88), the Parthenon is a remarkable building. . The huge construction of this architecture has used mainly the limestone, while the columns are erected in marble. The Parthenon is an exquisite specimen ...

Binomial distribution

When do we use the binomial distribution? The binomial distribution is very useful when there are very many trials conducted in an experiment, say n, and we want to get the probability of finding success where each number of successes has a given probability of occurrence. The probability of success is denoted by p while that of failure is the complement, i.e. (1-p) (Collani & Dräger, 2011). The binomial distribution gives some of the probabilities that are associated with repeated Bernoulli independent trials.

Characteristics of binomial distribution

For a binomial experiment, an action is repeated several definite number of times The condition for ...

Since the 1960s, the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness holds the Mr. Olympia contest every year to determine the man with “best physique in the world”. In the 1970s, the Golden Era of bodybuilding, the best body was considered to have a perfect amount of mass, symmetry, aesthetics, and definition. Legendary bodybuilder Steve Reeves influenced these standards. Reeves trained his body so that every muscle was symmetrical and proportionate. His philosophy was that each thigh should measure half the length of the chest, arms and calves should equal in length, and the body should have a small as ...

The most important type of intellectual production is an art. The composition is inherent to almost all types of art. According to the laws of the composition there are created works of music, architecture, sculpture, painting, drawing, literature, theater and cinema. However, in various forms of art composition has a specific content, forms of expression, varying degrees of elaboration and scientific validity. Considering the composition as a single structure, composed of forms and using tools and techniques, the composition can be divided into such types: closed and opened; symmetric and asymmetric. Images with the closed composition are fit into ...

Introduction

Coordination complex usually consists of a metallic coordination center and can be surrounded by bound molecules. Thus these are known these coordination complexes are known as ligands as they bind several molecules strongly almost irreversibly. Coordination complexes therefore coordinate covalent bonds on the molecule. There is specific nomenclature for coordination complexes. Particularly, the donor atom is the ligand that is bonded to the central atom. Here we are making Aluminium acetylacetonate, Al(acac)3, also referred to as Al(acac)3, and the metal ion is the aluminum and the donor atoms are the acetylacetonate. If there are more ...

Dissertation Conclusion

In this paper the researchers have developed and discussed the question regarding the memory capacity of dyslexic individuals compared to those who don’t have dyslexia.

To check this hypothesis the researchers have used basics of statistical methods and probability theory. The analysis was performed on a data sample comparing the working memory capacity in dyslexic and non-dyslexic individuals by using the symmetry span (working memory measure). The researchers have used descriptive statistics and Student’s independent samples t-test to check the hypothesis. All calculations ...

INTRODUCTION

What we look like matters. Most people would like to think that we, as a species, are not so shallow, but the reality is that we are. We judge, criticize, and determine the value of many people based on their physical presentation, their hair, skin, height and, very often, their weight. This can send a message to the younger generations that your appearance is equated to the level of acceptance they may receive from peers. While such things, like bullying, can affect both young boys and young girls alike; girls are more likely to take those criticisms so deeply that they ...

Step 1: Description.

On my desk, there is a glass vase full of paper cranes. They tumble out of the open top of the vase, poking tails and heads into the air, the vibrant reds and blues of the origami paper catching the light from the desk lamp. The vase is incidental, a square-ish, open-topped glass candleholder from some long-forgotten candle; the cranes were made in an anxious fervor, one after another, until they reached the top of the vase and required a new vessel. There are other jars around the room full of cranes, but this is the first and the biggest. The ...

The image is a Blu Ray sleeve of a film called The Panda Experiment. Since the image is a sleeve of a film, the message or concept reflects the story or narrative of the film. The film is about a Chinese girl who finds a lost panda. For this reason, the cover’s design shows a panda. Below the image is the title of the film. Based on the synopsis of the film, the target audience include families and children. To appeal to a young audience, the design would be better if the lines and texture of the panda’s image are smoother and softer, and if ...

Like the old saying goes, “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” but at what point does cleaning and being tidy cross the line into mental illness? Likewise, while a large percentage of the population may admit to being a little superstitious and many hotels don’t include a 13th floor, at what point does certain superstitious beliefs and behaviors turn into compulsions or behaviors that must be carried out or else the individual is unable to proceed throughout his or her day? To an outsider, it may appear like a nonsense disease with behaviors that should be easy to curtail by just stopping the ...

The concept of beauty is a function of multiple variables. The idea of beauty is ephemeral and ever changing. It cannot possibly be static or constant. One of the basic reasons that make the perception of beauty so transient and ever changing is the fact that the perception of beauty is a subjective phenomenon. In an online dictionary, the term “subjective” has been defined as “existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought.” (“Definition of Subjective” Dictionary.com) The online dictionary further defines the term “subjective” as placing excessive emphasis ...

A photon is particle characterizing a quantum of light or any other electromagnetic radiation. Generally, the term photon is used to illustrate the whole electromagnetic spectrum. It seems like a point-like particle because it is absorbed or released as a whole by arbitrary minute systems which are much smaller than its wavelength. Photons exhibit wave-particle duality i.e. displaying properties of both waves and particles though this is difficult to visualize without laboratory equipment. They display clearly wave-like phenomena like diffraction and interference on the length scale of its wavelength. In the same way as all elementary particles, photons are presently explained by ...

Which includes threatening, controlling, degrading, isolating, terrifying, terrorizing, forcing, fragmenting, bullying, blaming, hurting, harming, or wounding someone in a relationship (Siemieniuk, Krentz, Gish, Gill, 2010).The motive behind abusive position is attributed to the perpetrator’s need for power and control over one’s partner. ...

Introduction:

The Baroque period was an important one for artists and architects since the aspect of perspective came into being. Perhaps one of the greatest exponents of baroque architecture was Bernini with his incredible work in the design of the Vatican dome and churches in the vicinity. The link between God and humanity is thus immediately apparent especially in the works which we see at the Sistine Chapel where Michelangelo surpassed himself especially in what can be termed as his greatest painting work which is The Creation of Adam and which has been immortalized the world over (Bazin, 1964, p 35).

Andrea Palladio is one of the world’s most influential architects. His ideas, known as Palladianism, may be seen in numerous buildings in the world which are styled neo-classically. For example, in Washington, the Capitol, Whitehouse and the John A. Wilson building embody Palladio’s style and motifs. He was born in Padua, Venice in 1508 and became the apprentice to a stone cutter at the age of 13 before fleeing to Vicenza. He became an assistant in the Vicenza masons guild. While at Vicenza, he met Giangiorgio Trissino, an amateur architect, who took care of him. Palladio also worked ...

When I first saw the 1931 portrait of Frida and Diego, I was impressed by its symmetry. I’m not talking necessarily about visual symmetry to do with equal sides of a exacting mirror image. I’m speak about the pairing between uneven forms. For me, the portrait is a representation of forged strength. It’s about the whole of the parts that is balanced on strength of a group. Notice that Frida is small. She is light and dainty compared to Diego’s large, sturdy, rectangularity. She is traditional and idle with her shawl and dress, doll-like feet and tilted head— ...

In point of fact, art has been an integral part of human sociology since time immemorial. Paintings are associated with different parts of history. The nature of paintings has been on an evolutionary trend since the dark ages (410 – 1066) AD. The medieval paintings are associated with the Middle Ages (1066 – 1485) and are prominently linked to the Roman Empire. Broadly, art can be divided into two – fine art and decorative art. Paintings fall under the former category. Medieval paintings are prominently associated with European artists, in the western part of the big Roman Empire, and the eastern part, ...

According to beauty oriented studies, averageness refers to the average phenotypic characteristics evident in a person. This is the facial outward appearance and one’s general appearance. They communicate about one’s fertility and health. A bigger proportion of the studies were based on photographic overlays in which the images are morphed together. Factors like youthfulness, similarity and symmetry are also considered when attractiveness is concerned. There is a possibility of beauty not being in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty can be less arbitrarily considered as a cultural whims’ slave. Views on attractiveness do not vary across many races hence ...

The Ospedale degli Innocenti, or 'Hospital of the Innocents,' is an historical building designed by Filippo Brunelleschi in 1419. Located in Florence, its original purpose was that of a children's orphanage, and exists as a prime example of the tenets and forms of the architecture of the early Italian Renaissance. The patron of the building itself is the Arte della Seta of Florence, one of the wealthiest guilds in the city, which focused on philanthropy. To that end, the Foundling Hospital was created to house orphans from all over Italy. The uniquely classical design, the low height and the sprawling ...
