Descriptive Writing: ‘The Lottery’ Silence. Uncomfortable silence followed her death. Storm clouds hovered in the stunned sky, reflecting everyone’s mood. She lay in the center of the crowd, her body twisted and contorted, forming graceless angles. Her auburn hair was scattered in multiple places, stained with blood. Her eyes were wide open, but her pupils seemed to be brimming with bitter melancholy. I glanced away from her bloodstained frame, her screams still resounding in my ears.…

object that is needed is a pencil. Otherwise, how else would one illustrate the drawings? Different types of pencils will be available. It will be the drawer’s decision on which one to choose. A simple type to start with would be a regular number two graphite pencil. The more progress that is made in this process, the more variety of pencils will be available for experimentation. Another material required would include paper. Once again, different types of paper are available. There is no…

The Manhattan Project began in the United States during World War II in efforts to produce a nuclear weapon that could combat Nazi Germany. The project began in 1942 when the task of building a nuclear bomb was given to the War Department. Colonel James C. Marshall established the offices at the Atlantic Division headquarters on Broadway in New York City, hence the name of the “Manhattan Engineer District (MED)” which would later be known as the Manhattan Project. A number of laboratories…

Analysis of Materials and Biocompatibility of the Carpentier Edwards Magna Ease Aortic Heart Valve Chelsea Gibbs University of Utah Statement of Purpose: This report will look at the biomaterials used in the Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Magna Ease Aortic Heart Valve (CEPME) (Edwards Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA) and some of the biocompatibility issues found with this device. The CEPME bioprosthesis is designed to replace a diseased aortic heart valve that is no longer functioning properly and…

Abstract Purpose of this case study is to take overview of composites in sporting goods. Because of exceptional combination of properties as composites offered they are widely used by professional players to get better results. Mainly Carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP) and Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) are of much interest in sporting industry. How carbon fibers are produced is presented here. This report has also included 3 sports goods. Racing boats, racing bicycle frames and tennis…

In the next 35 years, global electricity demand is estimated to have increased by a factor of 2.5, and at the same time the world faces environmental threats caused by polluting emissions. Nuclear energy presents the opportunity to meet a great deal of the predicted increase in electricity demand, in combination with a reduction of the polluting emissions (Salvatores 1). The use of these nuclear plants rests with the people if we look back at why production of these plants stopped the people had…

1.0) The Ellingham Diagram 1.1) Introduction The Gibbs free energy (∆G) of a reaction is defined as the measure of the thermodynamic force that drives a reaction to occur. When ∆G is positive, it indicates that a reaction will not occur spontaneously while when ∆G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. The Gibbs free energy equation is given by : ∆G = ∆H –T∆S ∆H refers to the enthalpy and is a measure of the actual energy that is released when the reaction occurs. A negative…

“Survival of the fittest,” a quote made popular over the ages by pop culture and mainstream media. Many believed that Charles Darwin, a popular naturalist and geologist at the time, coined this quote due to the vast amounts of points and discoveries that he contributed to the theory of evolution, which was controversial during that time. Although this line has lost its true, intended meaning over the years, it’s still a vital component if a creature is to survive and thrive in nature. In the…

There has been controversy all over the country over one professional football player’s decision to take a knee during the nation’s national anthem. Colin Kaepernick took his first knee on September 1st in San Diego, California in a game against the San Diego Chargers. Many people have seen this message that Kaepernick is sending against racial injustice, but not a lot of people are fans of it. I believe Michael Dyson’s article “Famous Athletes Have Always Led the Way” is more effective because…

Frame: The purpose of this lab is to determine if the iron given in the experiment is Fe (II) or Fe (III). Knowing what chemicals are present in a reaction and what chemicals are produced is significant information that can be applied to real world situations. An example of this is rust. Rust usually occurs when iron reacts with water. By being aware of this, substances can be made to remove unwanted rust. The mass of the collected samples will decrease as it is dried due to evaporation. Excess…
