Apparent magnitude

the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI). We chose the VOGRIPA database because it includes data on bulk deposit volume from each eruption, giving us a quantifiable way to define eruption magnitudes. The earthquake catalog from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program was used to gather data on earthquake activity including depth, magnitude, date and location. Earthquake and volcano data were entered into Microsoft Excel for analysis. We created earthquake cross sections at two points along the ridge showing…

depend largely on the nature of the structure that needs to be protected. In the case of surface structures, the design criterion is based on the magnitude of the surface movements and strains that can be tolerated by the structure. In the case of underground structures such as bunkers, pump stations, service excavations, etc., it is usually the magnitude of the stresses that determines the size of protective…

The human species is one that craves knowledge. An innate trait in human cognition has always led us to search for the understanding of why things happen. When thinkers across time such as Aristotle, Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein went searching for understanding of the cosmos, they realized that the question of “how” the universe behaves as it does is just as important as “why it does.” One example of this is the broad concept of gravity. The original question was “why do things fall?” This…

Mrs. Barger AB 3/4 2/13/17 Simone de Beauvior, a writer, intellectual, and philosopher once stated the following: “Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay.” In other words, Simone is saying that not taking advantage of opportunities to change for the better may lead to dire consequences. In comparison, the novel A Christmas Carol’s main character is a man who desperately needs to change, or he will face nasty repercussions. He must make a choice: change, or…

F, G, K, and M. O and B stars are very bright and M stars are dim. A common way to plot stars on a graph is using Hertzsprung Russell diagram (HR). This method shows how the size, temperature (color), luminosity, spectral class, and absolute magnitude of a stars relate. The HR diagram shows how the temperature of a star correlates with the luminosity, whereby the hotter the star the higher the luminosity of the star. You can also determine the size of each star from the graph, the larger the…

1.1 Power Flow Theory Power, as we know, consists of two components, active and reactive power. The total sum of active and reactive power is called as apparent power. 1.1.1 Active Power “Power is a measure of energy per unit time. Power therefore gives the rate of energy consumption or production. The units for power are generally watts (W). For example, the watt rating of an appliance gives the rate at which it uses energy. The total amount of energy consumed by this appliance is the wattage…

used sometimes to tell the difference between each constellation. Some stars look brighter than others in the sky, not all stars are the same. Astronomers use, what they called the apparent magnitude to measure the brightness of the object in the sky. The astronomer that divided the stars into six different magnitudes based on their brightness is the Greek astronomer, named Hipparchus, in the second century B.C, he also numbered the six classes of the stars from 1 to 6. 1 being the brightest…

It is apparent that Kreon is not the saintliest character nor is he really fit to be the King of Thebes. The discussion between Antigone and Ismene regarding Kreon’s proclamation through lines 1-38 testifies the fact that Kreon’s edicts are too nationalistic and…

Only one supernova, SN 1993J, has been detected in M81. It was discovered by F. Garcia in Spain on March 28, 1993 and peaked at apparent magnitude +10.8, making it the brightest supernova in the northern part of the sky since 1954. he beautiful galaxy Messier 81 is tilted at an oblique angle on to our line of sight, giving a "birds-eye view" of the spiral structure. The galaxy is similar…

of a future flood of this magnitude. I will argue that the 2010 Pakistan floods were based largely on problematic human structures that made it difficult for the vulnerable population to…
