The visit to the LA’s space shuttle highlighted the story that began in a small town of Palmdale, an hour drive from Los Angeles where a space shuttle was built in a galaxy called the Milky-Way. The space shuttle flew over 100 million miles and was in the outer space for over one year of its lifetime. The dynamic shuttle finally retired to its sunny hometown and continues to delight and educate school children. The Endeavor made its final historic flight in 2015 followed by a breathtaking road…

J. Connolly et.al [28] also propose a wearable rehab technology for automatic measurement of patients with arthritis. They put forward the ideas surrounding the development of an accurate hand measuring tool to assist medical clinicians and rheumatologists in the accurate measurement of finger and thumb movement of the human hand. Angle measuring instruments, tape measure and grip strength dynamometer are used to assess the joint range and function of a patient to determine their hand function.…

Is velocity the reason why a curveball drops? Statistics show that the velocity of a ball does not cause the curveball to drop. There are other variables involved like air pressure, rotation of the ball, and aerodynamics. These are very important factors when a baseball is thrown. A Big part of velocity is the air pressure, this is because of a separate topic called the Magnus Effect - a force exerted on a rapidly spinning cylinder or sphere moving through air in a direction at an angle to the…

According Peter M. McGinnis (2013) the Newton’s first law is about the linear kinematic and is called law of Inertia. This law states that, ‘everybody continues in it states of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it’ (McGinnis, 2013, p.88). Simpler, the law of Inertia says that if there is no external force acts on a subject, that subject will not move and it will remain in states of rest or if it was moving it will…

Because of the static configuration is a stable one, in the absence of streaming, the density of the upper fluid be lighter than the density of the lower one. The basic unperturbed flows have uniform velocities and . The two fluids are dielectrics and having the uniform dielectric constants and . The two fluids are influenced by an oblique electric field at the interface between the two media, according to: (2.1) where…

INTRODUCTION Injury prevention is an essential aspect in the services athletic trainers can provide their patients. Strengthening muscles, improving balance and coordination, and increasing flexibility are all measurable outcomes that can be achieved by the athlete. Despite these efforts to prevent injury, assessing and predicting injury in athletic populations is not an easy task, as several variables need to be taken into account in order to obtain an accurate prediction. One such variable is…

Introduction As a figure skater with an enthusiasm for figure skating for many years, my choice of investigation for my internal assessment came to me quite easily. I have been a figure skater for eleven years and during this period I have been able to deepen my knowledge of the relationship between body coordinates and movements/positions of figure skating. I will be investigating the relationship between the body’s initial and interim positions and the outcome of a figure skater’s trajectory…

Introduction: Energy loss is a problem that engineers face. It is caused by friction in pipes which is also called the friction head loss and that happens because of viscosity and pipe wall friction. Energy loss also happens due to local losses which occur at valves and sharp bends. Local losses are also known as minor losses because their effect is normally small in long pipelines. To understand the relationship between Reynold’s number and friction factor, the pipe friction experiment has been…

Question One: Chemical Kinetics -The Use of Luminol to Detect Blood 1.1 Introduction When investigators want to find blood at crime scenes that may have been cleaned up, they would apply a substance called luminol. When luminol is applied to a surface that had blood on it, the blood will illuminate as a blue-green colour. The IUPAC way to name luminol is 5-Amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione. 1.2 Results and Analysis 1.2.1 Tables 1 and 2 When observing the consumption of luminol in proportion…

Part 1 (usually we center this left, and keep it bolded rather than underlined) In “Action Observation and Acquired Motor Skills: An fMRI Study with Expert Dancers” by Calvo-Merino et al., (usually you have to list all of the researchers names the first time before saying et al. et al is used as an abbreviation after first stating all those included in the process) the process studied was action observation. Through studying the acquired motor skill, dancing, Calvo-Merino et al. sought to…
