1964, “Plastic Tree Plus City Hall” by David Hockney is an acrylic painting in which a vibrant palm tree towers against a streaky skyline whilst white ellipses trail off to a miniscule skyscraper. Through his depiction of a palm tree and a skyscraper, Hockney is able to juxtapose organic and synthetic forms, but it is through his color choice, scale, and arrangement that the organic nature of the palm tree is questioned. One way in which Hockey propels the concept of artificiality is by warping…

The design idea we had was modified several times. Initially the fingers that were constructed for the hand seemed to work and look fine in our Solidworks assembly. We did not want the fingers to be too large as the girl were were designing the hand for is only seven years old. However, after printing them, we quickly realized that they were far too small to be able to exert the force to grasp a water bottle. Furthermore, because they were so small, it was difficult for the 3D printer to print…

range. For instance, the acceptable level for Nitrate in water is 10 ppm, a maximum level enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency, and each city did not exceed that amount with the highest level being 5 ppm in one sample of Royal Palm Beach and one sample of Palm Beach Gardens (“Basic Information about Nitrate”, n.d.). Nitrite, which usually occurs in water due to runoff from fertilizers or leaching from septic tanks and sewage, is also limited to 1 ppm, which none of the samples exceed…

hemisphere. Unlike the other palmivorous species of Auchenorrhyncha, which are associated with multiple palm species, the genus Ommatissus spp. seem to be more restrictive in their host ranges of palms, produce more honeydew and cause remarkable direct damage to palms through oviposition and feeding (Howard, 2001). O. lybicus is limited to P. dactylifera (monophagous insect) and found in almost all date palm…

influence of cellulose and date palm pad on cooling efficiency, low cost, and reduced temperatures. A study was undertaken to compare the two types of pads to determine the cooling efficiency, low cost, and reduced temperatures. The study found that cellulose pads gave high cooling efficiency, but at the same time increased the total cost. Date palm pads saved water compared to cellulose pads. The cost of using the date palm pad was less than the cellulose pads. Date palm pad decreased water,…

The mission statement avows, ““Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life” (Patients First, 2016).

Republic candidate George W. Bush held the incumbent title of governor of Texas and the son of a former U.S. president while the Democratic candidate Al Gore held the incumbent position of Vice President of America.

This arm was designed particularly for Cartee’s left arm. Cartee’s has no elbow on her left arm. She has one degree of freedom at her wrist joint and at her finger joint. Her wrist is very small and she has two short conjoined fingers extending off of it that curve towards the right. Her forearm extending from her wrist is curved towards the left. Because of her very limited range of motion, this design relies fundamentally on electronics to be actuated. The prosthetic hand that this arm design…
