element of everything is because the nourishment of everything is moist. One ingredient (water) that is present in all foods might be a factor that contributes to this concept. As for the food that is dry, the idea is that every seed is moist. Simple metallurgy had been practised long before Thales presented his hypotheses, so he knew that heat could return metals to a liquid state. Water exhibits sensible changes more obviously than any of the other so-called elements, and can readily be…

Hera was his wife, Cronus was his father, and Hades and Poseidon were his brothers. His symbol is the lightning bolt.

I think that technology influenced World War I warfare negatively, because of the horrible and unnecessary massive slaughter that it brought. New technological advances in metallurgy, chemistry and engineering among others, made by that time weapons extremely more deadly and powerful. This changed completely the way that wars were fought in the past, now causing devastating damage faster and easier. The leaders of such wars needed necessarily to change their strategies to adapt to this new…
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…
the workshop of Andrea di Cione, better known as Verrocchio. While his training exposed the young artist to the artistic skills of drawing, painting, and sculpting, he was also introduced to technical and scientific skills such as chemistry and metallurgy among others. The Vitruvian Man is a drawing by da Vinci taken from one of his notebooks. The drawing is based upon the ideas of ideal human proportions described by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius; as a Renaissance man, da Vinci well…

Introduction Wine growing areas in Canada are located within known growing regions that are located 30 and 50 degrees latitude north. The growing zones are parts of many other wine regions in Europe with cool climates. The main wine growing regions are Niagara Peninsula which is located in Southern parts of Ontario, Prince Edward County, and the Nothern shores of Lake Erie which includes the Pelee Island. Other regions include the valleys in Okanagan in southern British Columbia and areas of…
Exploring the Metropolitan Museum's sections on India, China, Pre-Columbian Americas, Africa and Islamic art I was able to visually dissect these cultures and gain insight about their similarities and differences. These cultures excelled in different aspects of the arts and the making of artifacts. The used of a wide variety of materials allowed for a unique specialization and craftsmanship in certain materials like copper, clay and stone that distinguished these cultures from each other. Each…
