Apparent magnitude

Lapuerta et al [30] found a deviation of up to 34°C at the combustion produced temperature peaks of diesel engine with the ideal gas assumption and stated that the deviation of such a magnitude is considered important for emissions estimations only. Hence the ideal gas assumption is considered to be a good approximation as this work is concerned with performance estimation only. The ideal gas equation of state together with the first law…

This underlying structure of sublimity is in- scribed into the very plot of “Usher”: the narrator comes from the outside world (the pre-sublime, the normal); he encounters the house, its inhabitants, and its environs (the moment of trauma); he dwells briefly in the house (which,asan objectification of Roderick’s disordered mind, embodies the sublime moment itself); then returns to the outside world (the recovery). What Poe has altered in his rendi- tion of the experience is not the form or…

Between 1945 and 2001, the perceived national interest of defeating Communism took precedence over the real national interest of promoting Americans’ physical and economical security. The United States entered wars in Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan because they believed preventing the spread of Communism was necessary to protect the American people. However, the success of the wars did not dictate American success in the overall Cold War. Professor Brands suggested that American leaders rally…

The behavior that society accepts is called social norms. There are various consequences that can develop when breaking a social norm, but the results can range from levels of importance. The levels of importance depend on whether if it is a folkway norm or a mores norm. Both are unacceptable social norms, though they vary in the degree to which they are enforced. Society is in an agreement with what are socially acceptable norms. Norms that have minor reinforcement are titled “folkways” and do…

The effects of the 2008 recession still reverberate in many low income areas; although the unemployment rate has finally recovered to pre-recession levels. Experts say that this is a result of people withdrawing from the workforce. An article written by Margaret Simms, a renowned authority on social issues regarding low income families, and director of the Low-Income Working Families project at the Urban Institute, argues that more needs to be done to help low-income workers. Her position keeps…

reabsorption of carbon dioxide and therefore a steady climb of carbon in the Earth’s atmosphere. It is clearly true that both humans and the planet itself alter the climate and cause it to fluctuate, however, human impact is much less stable and much more apparent than natural impact, which has historically displayed itself to be overall…

The entire format used by Michael Stevens in his YouTube video “Is Your Red The Same as My Red?” is an effort to effectively reach the largest audience possible. This format can be broken down into a number of tactics employed by Stevens, that allow him to gain and keep an audience that may have otherwise not been interested. Of these tactics, the first one encountered is the title of the video, which itself serves two purposes. The first of these purposes does something that every good title…

Plato’s Imitation Attributes of Music– Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin Plato stated that his view of art is the imitation of reality, which is an imitation of the ultimate reality known as the Forms that exist in a heaven-like realm. Therefore, Plato believes that artists only imitate an object, which is an imitation of the Forms. As a result, the artist does not truly understand the object they are imitating because they lack the knowledge of the reality of objects.…

In January of 1973 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Roe in the landmark case Roe v. Wade, the case of a single pregnant woman who challenged the constitutionality of the state of Texas’s criminal abortion laws. Through examination of evidence and input that led to this outcome, we seek to determine why the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Roe. Though the Supreme Court cited precedent and unconstitutionality in order to justify Roe’s victory in the case, non-institutional actors such as public…
