Hexagon

kind of place where people spend their whole lives and never amount to anything beyond a company granted lifetime achievement award. Doug’s office was laid out like chicken wire. Little hexagons of space with wires of hallways, pumped with animals going from place to place, the veins of one very sad system. Each hexagon had two people assigned to it sitting on opposite sides of one large desk. Opposite Doug worked his boss, Mr Bather aka Timothy the Peacock. Due to downsizing, he had been forced…

Flatland Can you imagine the world as a flat surface filled with a bunch of shapes? In Flatland Edwin Abbott describes the world as “a flat sheet of paper on which straight lines, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and other figures make up the space we live in today” (Abbott). This book can help teach students geometry in everyday life, and give good examples of things we would not think of as something we would learn in geometry. The book also gives us examples of how words can change…

LED lights and fiber optic trees are two energy-efficient technologies that can reduce your energy costs, particularly when the lights are used for long periods of time, such as in commercial applications. LED Lights Light Emitting Diode (LED) holiday lights are a new application for a mature technology. Each year since 2002, manufacturers have improved the choices, producing bigger and brighter bulbs and new color options. LED lights have a number of benefits over conventional…

therefore a change of tetrahedron relationship from alpha iron phosphate to beta iron phosphate, which is from a three one axis to a six four axis. Thus, hexagonal. The structure can be seen to have a six fold axis at the corner and therefore creating a hexagon of tetrahedron around the origin of the structure. There is therefore a larger distance of the bond, leading to the higher degree of dynamic disorder. However, in a lattice symmetry, it can be concluded that both hexagonal and trigonal…

1. What developed your interest in computer science? How will the EP program support your future goals? My passion for computer science did not develop because of a single occurrence, but rather it grew steadily over a period of several years. My introduction to programming came in elementary school when my sixth grade teacher set aside time each week to teach the class basic programming concepts using JavaScript. I am grateful for this early exposure because individuals from other…

Rasha Elabdali Professor Joel Bettridge Ways of knowing June 7, 2016 The Dome of the Rock Throughout its history, Islamic architecture has been strengthened by its spiritual foundation, the Quran. Islamic works of art are connected to ways of confirming and transmitting the messages of Islam and they are inspired by two main elements. The Quran is considered the first work of art in Islam. Most Muslim artists express their faith by writing words that are attributed to the remembrance of God…

Geometry and Eratosthenes In Professor Russ physical science class, there’s a plethora of subjects you, as a student, are bound to cover. This semester we had discuss over twenty different fields of science; the first being Geometry and Eratosthenes computing circumference of earth. We started the final semester off with two worksheets. The first was the “Angles of a Triangle”, we had to cut out the three angles of the triangle and piece them together in a shape. The three angles form a…

Communication Before entering this course, I was quite unsure as to what concentration of undergraduate studies to focus on. Specifically, it was to either choose between civil and environmental engineering major of studies. I was at a crossroads. Yet, I wanted to evaluate the career path more in depth to make a decision that will correlate to my values and lifestyle objectives. I began to experience some anxiety about the major courses and confusion as to which career provided the most…

“Graham Todd: Imaginary Spaces” is a memorial exhibit at the McMaster Museum of Art celebrating artist and McMaster Studio Art professor Graham Todd passed away in June 2013. This memorial exhibit features twenty sculptural works from 1982 to 2013, and also includes six of Todd’s sketchbooks. Each work is placed against a white backdrop and under soft spotlights. The works featured at the exhibit are from collections of Lorraine Samuel, Karen Hendrick, and Briana Palmer. In collecting…

Written Exercise Paragraph 1 1. Lattice symmetry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4: Quartz has a trigonal lattice structure with space group P3121 (group no. 152). At any temperature below 980K, Iron phosphate exists as α-FePO4, which has a trigonal lattice structure with space group P3121 (group no. 152) where iron, phosphate and oxygen occupy Wyckoff position 3a, 3b and 6c respectively. As the temperature rises up to and above 980K, α-FePO4 exhibits α-β transition and becomes β-FePO4 that shows…
