Preparing yourself for any certain event, whether it be a job interview, a speech, running a marathon or a huge project for school that would make a huge reflection of your work is all about how dedicated you are. To me, hard work and dedication continuously hint to victory. Countless people lay dedication and hard work into the same groupings. Dedication assists you to get into mental and physical shape for you to push your performance to success. While I was in the military, hard work and…

Bouncing. Up, down, up, down. Right, left, right, left. Strangely, I remember this routine from the first eighteen months of my life very clearly. Every day my mother would strap my car seat to her back and carry me over seven miles to my daycare center. She would then trek even farther to work a full-time job, after which she would attend night classes at a local community college. Emboldened by a better life for the two of us, she overcame her pride and conquered every excuse. From my mother,…

1.1. Mechanical properties of CP/CNF and CP/CNF/ZIF-67 1.1.1. Stress–strain curves The stress–strain curves and the effects of CNF dosage on the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation at break of CP/CNF and CP/CNF/ZIF-67 are shown in Fig. 3 and Tables S1–S4. As shown in Fig. 3(A) and Table S1, the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation at break of neat CP is 7.37 MPa, 996 MPa, and 3.07%, respectively. After coating and crosslinking with CNFs, the mechanical properties of…

In this study, the Jumbo hopper (JH) barge is selected as a striking vessel. Also, the finite element models of impacted piers in isolated and multiple-pier cases including three piers and two spans are developed in LS-DYNA25 according to available characteristics in Consolazio et al.3 Fig. 1 shows the bow and non-bow (stern) portions of JH barge developed in LS-DYNA according to properties as given in AASHTO provisions.2 The bow portion of the barge contains the impact zone with outer plates…

Hardness Testing Lab 1 Moriah Ausherman E882U679 Kunza Arifa ME-251-10959 Thursday 3:30 Experiment Date- 8/31/2017 Due Date- 9/7/2017 Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to ascertain the hardness of two different materials. One material is aluminum the other will be determined through testing. Hardness is defined as a material’s ability to resist plastic deformation by indentation. Harder objects are more likely to resist deformation. The results of a hardness test will be…

Set the bar to the mid thigh level on the Smith Machine. Load the bar appropriately and hold it with pronated hands. Use wrist wraps for heavy lifts. Lift the bar with straight back and extended arms. Now move to the standing position with a narrow posture. Now lower the bar with straight knees, but only bend at the waist with a stiff back. Stop only when you stretch your hamstrings. Reverse the motion to again stand straight. Snatch Deadlift It is the first part of snatch weightlifting. Select…

Did you know parachutes come in all kinds of different shapes? The shapes vary from circles to triangles. However which one is the fastest? There are many factors that effect the speed of parachutes. Kinetic and potential, for example, influence the parachutes speed and movement. When a skydiver jumps out of an airplane gravity pulls him towards the ground and he doesn’t have enough air resistance to safety land on the ground. That’s where the parachute comes in! When the skydiver pulls the…

There are six fundamental movements or primary movements which occur where the joints are located between the body segments. These movements are flexion (frontal plane, and shoulder) extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction. As explained in our text, flexion is a decrease in the angle between two body segments, whereas extension is an increase in the angle between two body segments. Abduction is a movement away from the body, whereas adduction is a movement toward the…

How Bad Health Can Affect Your Work Every year, people make resolutions that they are going to work on living a healthy lifestyle. And yet, somehow by March, those health goals seem to get pushed to the side. There’s no need to beat yourself about it. It happens to the best of us. Sometimes, what’s needed is another form of motivation. What if you knew that bad health would ultimately affect your bottom line, i.e., your financial wellbeing? Studies show that healthy employees have increased…

Stress is a very complex topic. To my understanding it is an emotion felt not only mentally but physically as well. A large straining that you endure from being under immense pressure, at times you feel there is no way out. It can come from the negativity of your peers, and almost always from your very own self-doubt. Stress to me as a student and as a worker are very separate functions. From my student side I worry about not doing well on not only one but a series of demanding tasks from all of…
