Human development patterns allow us in making generalizations concerning various stages as the infancy phase, childhood phase, adolescence, and finally the adulthood stage. For the first year following the birth, a baby is referred to as an infant. The childhood stage begins in the second year after birth and stretches until adolescence. Childhood stage is often divided into early childhood and middle childhood. Early childhood includes the pre-school years whereas middle childhood stage includes elementary school years, through the fifth or sixth grade. The adolescence stage is the second last stage of human development before adulthood. This stage is ...

Historical origin and development of shipyard in Istanbul

Ships and shipyards are a very old tradition in Istanbul (Cvikel & Kahanov, 2013). The pioneer shipyard was designed in 1390. The shipyards developed quickly and as early as the 16th century, Turkish shipyards were leading globally (Grant, 2005). Traditional shipbuilding techniques in combination with modern technology have helped the shipbuilding industry develop as an international recognized trademark in shipping industry since the beginning of 1990's. In Istanbul, shipyards perform various functions ranging from creating a variety of ship models such as yacht both big and small. Repair and maintenance of the different vessels are also done in these shipyards. ...

Abstract

The experiment involved the investigation of the young’s modulus of different beams made from different materials. The beams that were used for the test were steel, aluminum and timber. The experiment involved placing of the beams on the measurement machine shown below and addition of loads at the center of the beam. The loads were then varied across the beams while investigating the relationship that existed between the beams when different loads were added. The height, width, and the respective deflections were therefore recorded for analysis. The dial gauge was used to measure the deflection of the beam ...

Abstract

In this experiment, the young modulus of three beams was investigated these were steel, aluminum and timber. The beams were placed and the deflections values upon addition of various loads at the Centre of the beam taken. There was a variation of the loads across the beam to investigate thee relationship that existed between the loads, the span width, height, and deflections. Measurement of the deflection was therefore done through the dial gauge with three sets of measurements being taken and the average calculated. Different beams were used to enable elaborate comparison of the coefficient of elasticity. Measurement of ...

Butterfly is a style of swimming on the chest, while swimming a sportsman performs simultaneous and symmetrical movements of left and right parts of the body. Using both hands, a swimmer makes a powerful stroke, in the performance of which the upper part of the body is lifted above the water while performing symmetrical kicks “from the pelvis”.

Arm Motion

Hands in this style of swimming are the main driving force. All arm movements can be divided into three main phases: to yourself, from yourself and return. • The hands in the starting position are stretched forward, placed shoulder-width apart and immersed ...

Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to determine the relationship between the Young’s Modulus and the deflection of a beam. Since different materials have different values of Young’s Modulus, the students selected three different materials for the experiment. In this case, the materials used include timber, aluminium, and steel. All the materials were identical in terms of the dimensions such as width and length. The each beam of the three materials was subjected to some magnitude of force at the centre and deflection measured. Data concerning the magnitude of load and the corresponding defection were then gathered ...

Impact of Benjamin Franklin's Charts of the Golf Stream on the Shipping Industry

The Gulf Stream is a gigantic current that flows from the Mexican Gulf, past the Florida Peninsula, U.S. East Coast and up to Cape Hatteras. The current then flows across the Atlantic towards Iceland, British Isles, and to Norway. Viewed from the Straits of Florida, the stream has a width of approximately forty miles. Its speed can go as high as five miles per hour (4.3 nautical knots). As the current flows into North Atlantic, the width widens and can increase to up to hundreds of miles at some points (Richardson 51). The amount of water carried by the ...

Stimuli-response method

This model is based on the theory of stimuli and response; where the stimuli elicit the desired response in the consumer. In this case, the marketer must figure out which items the consumer needs and do their best to figure out how to provide the product and make it attractive enough for the consumer to desire and buy it. This model starts with the marketer rather than the consumer; it assumes that the consumer does not know what he or she needs and has to be stimulated using a product or an appropriate marketing strategy (Kotler and Armstrong, 207). ...

Implementation of Compensation and Benefit System

Compensation relates to paying someone an amount or in kind in return for work done for you. In an organization, it refers to the sum an employer provides to its employee for doing the work. The compensation is rendered as a result of industry's trends, job description, competition from close substitutes, etc. A compensation package comprises of not only monetary payments but in-kinds also to have a claim on goods and services offered by the firm (Buhl, 1989). These benefits, as well as other non-compensation systems, are used to motivate employees and generate benefits from leveraging their capabilities in ...

An earthquake is any seismic event that causes seismic waves. These can be caused by human activity or natural causes. For example, fracking often causes earthquakes which are human caused. Earthquakes often shake or displace the ground or surface of the earth near the epicenter and if the displaced earth is under the ocean, it will usually cause a tsunami. Most earthquakes are caused by geological faults but they can also be caused by landslides, mine blasting, and volcanic activity. Earthquakes are measured by overserving seismometers that are set up across the globe in strategic places for ...

THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM Introduction As far as human walking is concerned, it has been best described as the progression of the body’s center of mass along a pathway by moving the two legs alternatively. It is generally acknowledged that the development of walking skill in human beings is completed by the age of five (Sutherland, 1980). Locomotion is influenced by interactions between neuromuscular activity as well as musculoskeletal alignment (Perry & Burnfield, 2010). In addition, there are several other factors that can affect the coordination pattern of walking. These include sensory information from somatosensory, visual ...

Introduction

Numerous electrical applications require an inverter, which converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) power. Some of these applications require the stepping down of voltage levels when realizing this conversion, which signifies that the input DC power is greater than the AC power. Conversely, certain applications require the opposite: to step up voltage when performing the power conversion, which means that the input DC power is lower than the AC power. These requirements can be met through the use of Voltage Source Inverters and Current Source Inverters, respectively. However, some particular applications require to step down voltage for ...

The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct in the south of France. The bridge is a massive arched aqueduct length of 275 m and a height of 48 m. It was built about 2,000 years ago as a part of a 50 km water pipeline, which supplied drinking water to the Roman city of Nimes. Pont du Gard was built as a preeminent technical structure for water, and has no signs of architectural decoration, perhaps that’s why we can’t decide on the exact date of construction of the bridge and a person who projected ...

In this paper I will do the near impossible and try to analyze the remains of the architecture of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (320-650 BCE). Analyzing the remains in terms of Art History is nearly impossible because there is nothing left outside, but some foundations that consist of piles of rocks. These are most likely the bases of the temple’s columns. The site only has one actual column that is still intact. Although, it looks as though it has been pieced together with scrap. A number of artists have created their interpretations of what they believed ...

Abstract Most studies of inter-subjectivity are about the translators' subjectivity, which pay less attention to the subjectivity of writers and readers. Some papers center on binary dialogue among translation subjects, and place one subject in the center. Based on Davidson's triangulation model, the paper provides a clearer ternary dialogue for intersubjectivity. Davidson adopts "triangulation" to express the person-person-world interaction in the language communication. Translation, as the cross-cultural communication involving many subjects, is the result of the triangulation among the subjects. Triangulation in translation should be: a writer, a source text and a translator; a translator, a target text and ...

Explain the pathophysiology of the impulse origin and the electrical impulse pathway that is associated with the following rhythms:

Normal sinus rhythm In NSR, there is normal conduction of the sinus impulse through the atria and ventricles. The impulse is generated from the sinoatrial node and is delivered through the atria. Once past the atria, the pulse reaches the AV node where it pauses before continuing through the ventricles. From there the impulse is conducted through the ventricles via bundle branches and Purkinje fibers.

Junctional rhythm

During a junctional rhythm, the SA node fails to fire. Cardiac cells all possess the ability of generating a pulse if the SA node were to fail. The rhythm is typically created within or near ...

According to the University of Rhode Island (URI, 2014), time series graphs compare the variable under observation on the vertical (Y) axis against time on the horizontal (X) axis. Cycles reveal the trend of the collected data over time through plotting points on the graph which in turn produces the highs (peaks) and lows (troughs). The cycles reveal the variations in performance. When a scientist plots two lines (waveforms) on the same graph, the two waveforms provide a graphical comparison of performance between two subjects under observation. 1) When peaks and troughs align, does this mean the data is more ...

- The difference between the Simpson’s 1/3rd and 3/8th Rules is that the former has been derived using quadratic, while the latter has been derived using cubic interpolation (Trapezoidal Rule uses linear interpolation). I hope you are familiar with the concept of interpolation. If not, this is a brief outline: You can sketch a random function using some finite points alone. For instance take the function x + 5. Now, to represent this equation on a graph, you need to ideally plot infinite points by varying the value of x. However, interpolation lets you approximate the full graph using just a few ...
