Chapter 2 INTRODUCTION TO NOISE 2.1 SOUND: Sound is a form of energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears. Sound is produced by vibrating objects. The matter or substance through which sound is transmitted is called a medium. It can be solid, liquid or gas. Sound moves through the medium form the point of generation to the listener. When an object vibrates, it sets the molecules of medium around it vibrating. The…

J.K. Rowling’s, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, is a common favorite among a wide age group. For kids, it’s a fun book to read because of the magic, and the beautiful imagery. Adults read it for the magical qualities as well, but they also are interested in it, for the use of mythology, and religious themes. When reading it as an adult, you are able to see more than just wands, and bad guys. You are able to dig deeper into Rowling’s hidden character ideals, and the secrets that lie…

I recently visited the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco to gain a new perspective on what we learned in Anthropology this semester. In this paper I will be discussing the Human Origin exhibit that is currently being shown at The Academy of Sciences and how it relates to all that I have learned this semester. This particular exhibit shows the various physical forms that hominins took as they evolved over 4 million years ago. I loved being able to see in person the actual skulls on…

Nine muscles insert on and move the humerus. First, the pectoralis major originates on the medial half of the clavicle, one side of the sternum, on the costal cartilage (1-7) and the aponeurosis of the external oblique. It inserts on lateral lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus. The pectorals major flexes, medially rotates and adducts the humerus. Second, the deltoid originates from the lateral half part of the clavicle (anterior fibers), the acromion of the scapula (lateral fibers)…

In winter, the Konkow settled in widely dispersed patterns along river canyons, usually on ridges high above rivers and generally on small flats on the crest of the ridge, or half way down the canyon side. A village-community owned and defended a known territory, which served as a communal hunting and fishing ground. Some villages were located strategically atop isolated knolls in consideration of attack and defense. The Konkow followed an annual gathering cycle that made it necessary for them…

thinking of light as a wave, much like an ocean wave. As waves pass a point, we count the number of wave crests we see every second. This is the frequency of wave crests. The colours we can see each fall into a range of such frequencies, so a spectrum made of frequencies is also a spectrum of colours. Another way to understand colour is through its wavelength, which is the distance between one wave crest and the next. This is related mathematically to frequency, as shown in figure ct2, so we can…

She calculated the days until she would reach her next destination using The Pacific Crest Trail, Volume I: California. She showed us how long she walked and how far it was. She declared, “it would take me two days to reach the first water source seventeen miles into my hike, I guessed, so I would have to carry enough to get me through”…

overall mood. While older commercials do have humor to a certain extent, the commercials today connect with the humor that our society understands. Also, in today’s society we use celebrities to show popularity to a certain product. Such as in the Crest 3D commercial, Shakira is used to portray the message of: If you use this product, then your teeth will look like Shakira’s teeth”. This type of bandwagon was impossible to use back in older type of propaganda due to the impossibility of…

Basilisks are a legendary creature. In these legends it is said to be the king of serpents because of a crown-shaped crest on its head. It is said to be extremely poisonous and to be able to breathe poison at its enemies. It is claimed that that accurate descriptions of basilisks do not exist because no one survives an encounter but it is claimed by some that they share features with serpents or lizards and cockerels or raptors. What is considered the most authoritative of descriptions…

In this case Chadwick et al focussed on the defences comprised of rock armour and concrete block mattresses and found that they slowed the erosion of the wave crest and cause the beach to steepen. They also stated that the road also had a ‘marked impact’ as it prevented shingle thrown ‘landward of the beach crest forming a new landward crest.’ This strongly indicates that the defences prevent the beach building up significantly on the landward side. In addition, the defences themselves have…
