Authors Main Arguments John Appleby argues that a few women during the 16th and 17th Centuries participated in committing piracy at sea. During that time, piracy was male dominated and any accounts of female participation was small. The author states that it is difficult to find recorded history surrounding females aboard ships because of how unconventional it was for women to take part. He argues that it is not female physical capability that restricts them, but it is instead the environment onboard a ship and folk superstitions that prevented them from wanting to become pirates. To study the relationship between women and piracy, the author examines two of the most well known female pirates in history: Anne Bonny and Mary Read.…

Abstract:-This paper provides review of various wire length estimation techniques. Wire length plays an important role in the design of circuit. If wire length of the circuit is known before placement delay, resistance, power dissipation, and capacitance can be predicted. All these parameters play an important role in designing of the circuit. These parameters help in predicting the performance of the circuit in early design phase.…
