Elasticity

from the factory, while smaller passenger cars are staying on lots longer”(Anna Louie Sussman and Eric Morath). The demand of trucks has increased because of consumers taste and preference. Furthermore, if an economist calculated the cross-price elasticity between gasoline prices and pick-up trucks, it would be negative. It would imply that gasoline and trucks are complements. In others words, if gasoline price increases, the demand for trucks would decrease and if the gasoline price decreases,…

As Frederick Douglass once said, “No man can be truly free whose liberty is dependent upon the thought, feeling and action of others, and who has himself no means in his own hands for guarding, protecting, defending and maintaining that liberty”. For Douglass, liberty was essential to be able to live a happy life. Throughout the 19th century he had an important role in the fight against slavery and racism in the United States of America. He was a master at sharing his thoughts and ideas with…

From the time conceived, our body physically transforms until we reach adulthood. It is very common for an individual in their thirties to begin seeing physical signs of aging in their appearance. One may see a change in their texture, color, and elasticity of their skin. They may notice their toenails color and thickness also begin to change. Another noticeable change is a person’s hair color. Over time, the decrease in melanin causes hair to lose its pigmentation, causing colorless gray hair…

Berries are popular for their anti-aging properties as they contain flavonoids. Flavonoids are potent antioxidants that help to protect the body from free radicals and aging. The great thing about berries is that there are lots of different ways to consume them, combine them with your cereal or yogurt, freeze them and blend them into tasty smoothies. You can also eat them dry or fresh! Berries are fairly inexpensive. Consider getting them in bulk and freezing them if necessary. Studies reveal…

Rotor and touchdown bearing models Fig. 1 features the case study of the high-speed rotor. The photo was taken after manufacturing of the electric motor part, when the rotor was carried to the laboratory for an experimental modal analysis. During normal operation, the rotor is supported by AMBs. In the dropdown event, the rotor is in contact with touchdown bearings at both ends of the rotor. Fig. 1. Rotor under investigation. In this work, the finite element model of the rotor employs…

The Salter-Harris classification is a radiologic classification system, developed in the 1960s, to describe fractures involving the growth plate in pediatric patients.1 It divides the fractures into five categories based on the extent of damage to the growth plate based on the mnemonic SALTER; type I: Slip or Separation of the growth plate, type II: Above the growth plate, type III: Lower than the growth plate, type IV: Through the growth plate, and type V: Raised epiphysis. Children have open…

the cornea is misshaped and there are two places in the eye where the light is focused. To fix this, a contact lens is made into the correct shape to account for the misshaped cornea. In the case of presbyopia, the eye muscles can lose their elasticity with age and typically a bifocal or multifocal lens is needed for this. These generally have different shapes or curves made into one lens. The inferior portion of the lens would be for reading or looking at objects up close, and the superior…

for even trying. They were often punished by whipping or beating. Douglass gives many examples of the horrible treatment of slaves in the book. One example is, “Mr. Covey succeeded in breaking me. I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect…

down. Developing an alternative perspective regarding diversity, has allowed me to gain a better understanding of my interview with Lester. Appreciating the differences and valuing his perspective revealed the uniqueness of Lester’s flexibility and elasticity. His story isn’t unique, but his will power has allowed him to overcome many challenges and barriers. Through…

and lungs. Q2. Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure because of the extra water stored in the body. The thicker the walls grow, they become less complaint and eventually are unavailable to pump forcefully as a healthy heart. The elasticity of vessels stiffens and lose their ability to easily expand. Q3. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the two main types of gases within the lungs. Oxygen spreads from the air in the alveoli into the blood. Carbon dioxide spreads from the blood…
