Figure 21: Dependence of the penetration depth on dwell times for different indentation peak loads Figure 22: Dependence of the penetration depth on dwell time for different indentation peak loads in ln-ln plot 5.4 HV vs. penetration depth Figure 23 shows the dependence of the Vickers hardness on the indenter penetration depth for 100mN to 1000mN and 10 s to 60 s dwelling time. The highest hardness value is 15.6GPa. As the indenter penetration depth increases, the hardness value decreases.…

cognitive and affective components of PL, with the inclusion of the Children’s Self-Perception of Adequacy in and Predilection for Physical Activity (CSAPPA) scale. The CSAPPA is a 20-item, self-report questionnaire that has demonstrated a high test-retest reliability as well as strong predictive and construct validity (Cairney, J., et al, 2007). The scale was designed for children 9 to16 years of age and is a measure of generalized self-efficacy toward physical activity. The CSAPPA can be…

rotating updraft. “Only about 20% of all supercell thunderstorms, will actually produce a tornado” (Tornado Types). The other one is non-supercell thunderstorms. Non-supercell thunderstorms are circulations that do not form from an organized storm-scale rotation. These tornadoes form from a vertically spinning parcel of already occurring near the ground caused by wind shear from a warm, cold, or sea breeze front, or a dryline. Eastern Colorado experiences these non-supercell tornadoes, when…

version with scale modeling. A background is the most simple example. Set the scene with a picture or painting in the background to completely change the setting of the scene. It doesn't have to be real or interacted with. It only lets the audience assume the setting of the scene is in that location. Where it gets more complicated is when directors use scale modeling to represent something normally many times larger. The titanic was a perfect example of this. They used the 40 foot scale model of…

For this paper, I listened the RadioLab episode on music language. I chose this one because, being a musician myself, I’ve always been interested in the psychology behind music, specifically why certain sounds can so drastically alter our emotion. After all, they’re all just vibrations. So what is it about some vibrations that make them so much more significant to us than others? This is one of the primary questions addressed in this podcast. In discussing how music affects us emotionally, the…

Hurricane and Tornado Essay Have you ever wondered about Hurricanes and Tornadoes? Hurricanes are a lot more destructive than tornadoes. Did you know they are both cyclonic? Cyclonic means circular. According to Meteorologist, Spencer Adkins, a hurricane can cause a tornado. By the way, a tornado can not cause a hurricane. The tornado can be in any spot of the hurricane, except for the eye. One fact about hurricanes and tornadoes would be that the appearances are very massive. To conclude…

Hurricane Katrina Storms, they are one of many natural disasters that occur on our earth. Going deeper we see one of the storms known as" Hurricanes ". These are a much more intense and violent version of a storm. Hurricanes occur rarely but when they do occur it is devastating. The more commonly know storms like Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Patrica are some of the more deadly and crazy known storms. As we go over what hurricanes are and a certain disaster be thoughtful that hurricanes…

Aerie is a well known lingerie for women by American Eagle. Aerie first started in the year of 2006. This initiated a line of undergarments for women between the ages of 15-25. In early spring 2014, Aerie launched their newest campaign of the time, “Aerie Real”. The purpose behind this campaign was to discontinue using supermodels and digitally retouching its models to start encouraging self-body positivity. And through this abrupt change, “the company has shocked the fashion industry through…

The Great Storm There was once a historic fight between the greek wind god and the sea god, which resulted in the creation of the natural disaster we now call hurricanes. The people would explain the great storm (hurricanes) as a fight or argument with the wind and the water god back in the Greek times. The argument first started with who would be able to do what? For example, who would create the storms and control over them?, or who would the storm go where? This ended in a argument against…

Before we talk about measurement scales and why they matter we should first explain what they are. A compound measure allows us to measure different aspects of a topic people would find complex. This topic could range from stem cell research to abortion to gun control. The good thing about compound measures is they have a general reliability to them. What I mean is, if an error is made it often does not make the whole measurement go wrong. Compound measures should have several different…
