Centimetre

physical prowess of the individual. For instance, Bernard is not an Alpha class individual (the highest class of society) because he is physically shorter than them: “Bernard 's physique was hardly better than that of the average Gamma. He stood eight centimetres short of the standard Alpha height and was slender in proportion (Huxley 68). This aspect of social hierarchy shames Bernard into feeling inferior, and it alienates him from the upper classes: “"I am I, and wish I wasn 't" (Huxley 69).…

According to the IOP, Institute of Physics (2014), “A misconception can be defined as a view that does not fully coincide with the scientific view” (Hutchinz, 2014). It is said that Isaac Newton’s laws are there as a guideline to help with the understanding of science and to steer clear of misconceptions when it comes to the concept ‘force’. This concept is very difficult to teach. Misconceptions occur because people lack the ability to believe in the implications of these laws and to…

Is animal testing ever justified? Some people believe that medical testing on animals to advance in medical research is necessary; however, cosmetic animal testing is never justified. There are plenty of other alternatives that can be used. Cosmetic animal testing should be banned because it does not improve human life or lead to any medical breakthroughs. Animals are used to test many different substances or products for either medical or cosmetic purposes. The most common cosmetic tests are…

Insolation Insolation is the solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface. It is measured by the amount of solar energy received per square centimetre per minute. Insolation affects temperature. noun, Meteorology=solar radiation received at the earth's surface. Dry adiabatic lapse rate Dry air cools at about 10 C/km (the 'dry adiabatic lapse rate'), while moist air usually cools at less than 6…

In the last 60 years, Uranium mining has become the basis of one of the worlds most popular sources of energy. While Uranium is almost always used for nuclear energy, it is also used in medical isotopes. To obtain Uranium for nuclear power, it is generally mined in large open pit and underground mines. Like most other mines, mining Uranium destroys the ecosystem and landscape, produces lots of noise pollution, demolishes habitats and are very dangerous. More specifically, Uranium mines have an…

child that no one else will be able to have, she just has to trust that he will come back to her when he needs too. This could also be a metaphor as the measuring tape is the child’s life and relationship that develops with his mother through every centimetre. Throughout the poem, there are a lot of metaphors that give the whole poem the feeling that the child is becoming more independent and is exploring, with the reassurance that he is still connects with his mother, no matter what happens. I…

Australian abattoirs were analysed to find if animals are treated humanely. Every year about 520-620 million animals in Australia are exterminated at abattoirs (Australia and Statistics, 2012). These animals are slaughtered for products like meat, dairy and eggs, some of these animal products are consumed by humans and some go to waste products of the industry. There are 300 slaughterhouses which are supported by a workforce of 25,000 (Herald, 2016). Two methods are used to slaughter the animals…

Neues Museum. The Nefertiti Bust is a 3,300-year-old painted stucco-coated limestone bust of Nefertiti, the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten.

The face is completely symmetrical and mostly intact, but the left eye no longer exists from ageing. The pupil of the right…

Cecilia Wong Nature of the task and the research question: Two centimetre piece of potato is bathes into different salt solutions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%) over a period of time, to determine the effect of different salt solutions on osmosis. To investigate the effect of increasing the concentration of sodium chloride (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%) on the process of osmosis, by calculating the mass change of the potato core (g, ±0.01g) at room temperate of lab (25.0˚C) Table 1: Raw data Table…
