Who was stronger? What are the differences between a superhero and a villain? Both have power, ingenuity, purpose, and dedication to their cause. But what makes them different? One may be stronger, causing him to win, however it is their character that makes them who they are. Their character is what defines them and makes a statement declaring whether they will be the hero of the story or the villain. In looking at The Winter’s Tale, we wonder who is the stronger woman—stronger in the sense…

Diagram 1.6: Diagram showing tension force in the string (from 0 cm increasing in 1 cm until a displacement of 15 cm has been attained) This diagram shows the manner in which the tension force applied to the string was calculated. Starting at 0 centimeters, forces were provided in the string such that the string would extend one additional centimeter from the previous measurement. Using the Capstone® software, the force applied to the string was calculated at the given horizontal…

Elekta Synergy S linear accelerator (LINAC) was used to produce the 6, 10, and 15MV photon beams for measurements. The accelerator is fitted with the new Agility multileaf collimators (MLC) thinner than the previously used MLC’s to improve a field definition (Kantz et al. 2015; Thompson et al. 2014). The quality assurance was carried out monthly to ensure the LINAC response does not vary from the commissioning data (CPQR 2013). The LINAC has been calibrated to 100 cGy/MU at Dmax for a 10×10 cm2…

The Effect of the Amount of Light on Sowbugs After Being Shone on Them for 30 Seconds Another name for Sowbugs is Porcellio Laevis and these creatures are land living crustaceans, mostly aquatic invertebrates, such as the lobster, crab, and crayfish. They are found in most parts of the world, but are most common throughout North America. Since sowbugs are crustaceans, they breathe through gills. Gills are the primary breathing way for all crustaceans and they must be kept moist (4). In addition,…

Being a broke college student isn’t fun. Being a broke college athlete is worse. Broke college students aren’t just needing the money but they need the balance of time, work, and study also. No college student, let alone student athletes would ever turn down the thought of being paid for their services. So why isn’t the NCAA trying to help our college athletes out? College isn’t cheap. College students have financial obligations outside of the classroom; being on scholarship does not lighten the…

Introduction The purpose of this assignment was to determine whether a site located on LIT Tipperary’s Thurles campus, was suitable or not for an onsite wastewater treatment system. The assessment onsite predicts the wastewater flow through the subsoil and into the subsurface materials if a wastewater treatment system was to be put in place (EPA, 2009). The site characterisation process our class used is only applicable to a single house. I was assigned to the T3 test hole. The result in the…

I. Introduction Just north of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Wanus kewin Heritage Park provides a window into the past of the plains. For the past 30 some years, there have been continual excavations done and several archaeological discoveries made on this land. Since 2010, Wolf Willow with a Borden designation of FbNp-26 has been the site of the excavations, where a ten metre by eleven-metre hole was dug and methodically excavated by archaeology students from the University of Saskatchewan. This…

In radiation therapy, bolus is a modality that helps compensate for differences in body contours, stop skin sparring, and to raise dose buildup on the patient’s skin (Washington, p. 171). Bolus is a tissue equivalent material, but there is not just one type of bolus. Superflab is a commercial bolus that most clinical sites use, but other bolus variations are also available for use. There is no study that compares Superflab, neon green Play-Doh, orange Play-Doh, and uncooked rice for providing…

Question How does distilled water, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, stabilized, at 3% concentration as a dilute solution), and rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol) affect leaves detached from their trees? Hypothesis If I submerge leaves in distilled water, then the leaves will become wet and softer (relative to their original state), because that is what happens to detached leaves after it rains. If I submerge leaves in hydrogen peroxide, then the leaves will become whitened and the distinct…

Problem, Cause, Solution Template Outline I. Introduction A. Attention Getter: Did you know that there are 827.7 million people worldwide living in urban slam? By 2020, it is estimated the world slum population will reach almost 1 billion. This is very shocking to me. B. Audience Relevance: Today I will discuss about an organization that is changing millions of lives by giving the opportunity of owning an affordable and simple houses to those who are struggling. This organization is Habitat…
