When you think of the ancient Egyptians you most likely think of the pyramids, what you might not know is that Egyptians are also known for their pottery. Egyptians have been making pottery since far before the pyramids, and were one of the first peoples to make pottery (Quatr). Two of the main types of pottery constructed in ancient Egypt were amphoras and pithos. Pottery in ancient Egypt was constructed with techniques similar to those used today, and was used to house large stores of…

up a tub of clay I would most likely roll out a snake just as I had before. Who could blame me; it was one of the first things that I was taught in that art class years ago. Take out the clay, roll it between your hands or along the table, and then coil it on top…

proteins sequence of amino acids. The amino acids are arranged in a linear arrangement. The secondary structures are the areas of coiling or folding within a protein. The coils or folds are results of hydrogen bonds between the repeating constituents of the polypeptide backbone. Two main types of secondary structure include the α helix, a coil held together by hydrogen bonding between every fourth amino acid and the β pleated sheet, two or more segments of the polypeptide chain lying side by…

Wind energy has been utilized by people since 500 and 900 B.C., to help pump water and grind grain by the Persians. As different cultures harnessed the power wind had to offer, windmills spread from Persia to the surrounding areas of the Middle East. Food Production leaned on windmills extensively. In 5,000 B.C., wind power propelled boats along the Nile River. Wind power technology spread north to the European countries, where windmills helped drain lakes and marches in the Rhine River Delta.…

by simply sharing a hookah hose or mouthpiece, it can potentially expose the users to herpes in the mouth either from one of the surrounding smokers sharing the mouthpiece or by not cleaning the hose. The same could be said about e-cigarettes. The coils that heats “juice” deliver a high voltage, temperature, and a more direct shot of nicotine. In some cases, the e-cigarettes have delivered too high of a voltage and exploded, causing permanent physical injuries to the user in the process. Sharing…

What is a stroke? A stroke is a major medical emergency. It happens when the brain isn’t getting the oxygen that it needs, and the blood flow to your brain stops. This causes brain cells to die which can result in loss of memory, speech, and/or loss of movement. There are two different kinds of strokes, ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. An ischemic stroke happens when there is a blood clot that blocks a blood vessel in the brain, this is the most common type of stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke…

Under the Skin Imagine, a world where a device the size of a grain of sand embroidered in an individual’s skin can pin point every step they take on Earth no matter where they are. Where this device can even access every piece of personal information all in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, this horrid thought is becoming a reality in today’s world with the use of ID chips. ID chips are tiny little devices that are injected into an individual 's skin once these devices are injected into the…

This artifact is primarily based on Sinusoidal waves and how to use and apply this to represent and develop musical notes. In doing so, I had to use a variety of properties of trigonometry for the key aspects in this artifact. Such as, building an instrument and finding out the relationship between sound waves and the sinusoidal representation. Sinusoidal is any graph mainly consisted of either the sine or cosine function. The general formula for Sinusoidal waves is y=Acosfx+C.The height of the…

I am going to convict Victor Frankenstein for many murders. He created a being that destroyed many lives, including, close family and friends. Victor abandoned his creature, never realizing that the lack of parental guidance and support would lead the creature down a murderous path. Frankenstein never considered how a creature with such a horrific appearance would be able to coexist with humans on a daily basis. Frankenstein kept his creature’s existence a secret and chose not to reveal it to…

was supposed to do these nurturing deeds to help the creature grow up feeling loved and supported. Instead, Frankenstein abandons the creature. When Frankenstein first encounters the creature he is repelled and disgusted by what he has created. He coils away in shame and horror at what he has done. The creature is unfamiliar with what is happening around him. He is dependent on his surroundings and Victor. When Frankenstein rejects the creature he leaves it to fend for itself. This creature is…
