General Optical Council

Watching my close relative suffer with strabismus throughout her childhood made me realise how sight deficiency can lead to severe physical and psychological effects in someone. Empathising with her struggles from an early age made me aware of the reliance on our eyesight. Ultimately I was motivated to attend a talk regarding optometry which enhanced my knowledge of the course and gave me a chance to operate optical instruments. Acknowledging my ambition beforehand made me choose A-level subjects related to optometry. I am very passionate about biology as my ability to make connections between what I have learnt and the biological processes that occurs in life, fascinates me. It has provided me with a good foundation for optometry which would…

I believe that the Council of Vocations assigned Equality the job of street sweeper because he was already smarter, taller, and more curious about things than everyone else. The Council of Vocations fears that if they were to assign Equality to be a scholar he would be to interested in the work he is doing. His wanting to learn more about science would lead him to find the way that his society and councils run the city, and how they have ran the people for all of these years. Equality would soon…

I traveled to the government center in toledo to attend a meeting with a small group of government students. Along the way, we got lost but eventually found the tall white building that one of our friends described to us as the government center. I found a parking spot and paid the parking meter. We walked the rest of the way in the unpredicted humid May weather. The building was refreshingly cool; the inside was presented in a sophisticated manner. I could not help but feel out of place in my…

so when the Council labels students their profession, he wishes for the Scholar label. Unfortunately the decision didn’t go as planned. After receiving the label of being a street sweeper, Equality 7-2521 finds a tunnel from The Unmentionable Times. This tunnel becomes his “experimentation lab”. In this lab, he re-invents electricity and presents the invention to the Council of Scholars. The Council asks Equality 7-2521 if he made the invention alone. He replied with yes. “‘What is not done…

someone’s beliefs or attitude. This method is also shown in Anthem by the council keeping everyone in a “we” mindset and changing them over originally. One way of brainwashing…

The society limited his own personal creativity causing him to repent towards the law behind the councils backs. Knowing he could be caught and stoned to death in the square didn’t stop him from going to accomplish his dream,to create an invention, and while he knew he probably wouldn’t be accepted into the house of scholars didn’t change his mind at all and he really didn’t seem to care. On page 19, he denied that International 4-8818 take his discovery to the council, because he did not want…

Fiber optic communication systems are light wave systems that employ optical fibers for transmitting information from one point to other through an optical fiber. The driving force behind the widespread use of fiber optic communications is the demand for economic, reliable transmission media that can transmit required information capacity. The transmission capacity of optical fibers has drastically improved over the years. Today, optical communications up to 100 gb/s for several kilometers have…

Optical Illusions are a neurological phenomenon that allows a person to believe an alternate reality based on what they see visually or encounter haptically. Illusions can come in all shapes and sizes and can be presented to us in many different ways sometimes, subliminally throughout our daily lives. The most famous and widely studied illusion is the Muller-Lyer illusion. This illusion consists of a horizontal line with opposite facing arrows at either end. The next portion uses the same…

depending on the angle at which strikes the surface. This principal is the heart of the operation of optical fibers. Just by altering and controlling the angle at which light is incident on the fiber, we can transmit this light signal efficiently. By this principle of Total Internal Reflection the ray of light is trapped within the denser glass of the center of the composite cylindrical glass fiber, the core as if it is guided down the core in a zigzag path of successive reflections. These light…

5.2 Discussion 5.2.1 Comparison of the results from AFM and optical tweezers experiments 5.2.1.1 Different unfolding behaviors in AFM and optical tweezers experiments In chapter 3, we have studied AFV3-109 using single-molecule AFM. The results from optical tweezers are contradictory to the results from AFM. First, the unfolding force obtained by optical tweezers is much smaller than the force obtained by AFM. More importantly, in our previous study using AFM, the unfolding of AFV3-109 occurs in…
