Oscillation

The artistic ability to create an optical illusion within artwork has piqued my interest for years. When there is an illusion in artwork, it grabs the attention of the viewers’ eyes and the viewer may even feel compelled to examine and interpret the artwork more thoroughly. One example of optical illusions in artwork are three dimensional street art. Three dimensional street art is so intriguing because the artist takes an ordinary concrete public space and transforms it into something…

HFOV and Gas Mixtures RES 262 Julia Fussell Sarah Bandy HFOV and Gas Mixtures The type of ventilation I will be discussing is High Frequency Oscillating ventilation. I chose this type of ventilation because of how different it is compared to traditional ventilation. “HFOV uses a constant distending pressure where an oscillatory flow along with clearly defined inspiratory and expiratory phases are generated in the lung”( adhb.govt.). Because the pressure is constant, it is easy to…

In advance of, and during, each hurricane season, several forecasts of hurricane activity are issued by national meteorological services, scientific agencies, and noted hurricane experts. These include forecasters from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Hurricane and Climate Prediction Center's, Philip J. Klotzbach, William M. Gray and their associates at Colorado State University (CSU), Tropical Storm Risk, and the United Kingdom's Met Office.…

figures that began hyper-sexualizing women in society. Four points were brought up relating to Porn Chic: popular culture normalization of sexual objectification and women’s bodies, pop culture normalization of priority/dominance of white mail gaze, oscillation of girls toward self-objectification, and rigid adherence to gender role dichotomy. For example, Hooters is a huge part of Porn Chic because waitresses barely wear anything while on the job, and many customers just go to restaurants to…

The Earth’s climate is constantly changing. These changes result primarily because of the natural process where the Earth’s spheres interact with one another, however human activities are having a greater impact on global warming. There is evidence that human beings are changing Earth’s climate unnaturally. Ninety-Seven percent of scientist have agreed that global climate has undergone an irregular occurrence and changed drastically over the last 100 years so it can no longer be claimed as…

The Effect of Compression Garments on Muscle Endurance in Trained Individuals. In recent years there has been a development of public acceptance that compression garments have a relationship with muscle performance in athletes. This can be seen through the marketing of compression garments, from companies such as Nike and Adidas, as well as being seen on professional athletes. Muscular endurance can be defined as the muscle’s ability to maintain a contraction or to continue repetitive…

Kathryn Burn’s book, Colonial Habits: Convents and the Spiritual Economy of Cuzco, Peru, provides an indepth look at colonial society throughout three centuries through the inner workings of a convent. The author is able to skillfully guide the reader through an analysis of the colonization of Cuzco, the most important Andean city in Southern Peru, from the insides of a convent of cloistered women. In the colonization of the Americas the nuns were in no way isolated from the outside world. In…

by increasing the relative mass of the player and extending the time of contact with the ball. Neck musculature may also play a role in damping the flexion/ extension oscillation that the head experiences during and after the act of heading (Dezman, et al., 2013). 1 Damping is an effect that tends to reduce the amplitude of oscillation in an oscillatory system. In this case, neck muscle acts as a viscoelastic mechanism producing an effective shock absorber. The splenius cervicis muscle is the…

Introduction: Atmospheric circulation patterns exert a tremendous influence on regional weather and climate especially in the mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere1. However, there is a significant debate over how patterns will respond to climate change. In this experiment, I will analyze climate models using a specific metric called sinuosity to determine how climate change will affect circulation patterns in the mid-latitudes. This information is impactful and important as changes in…

conduction is detected through seismic cues and elephants are well equipped for this kind of communication detection. Bone conduction detects seismic signals due to the enlarged ossicles that are found in the middle ear, which facilitate independent oscillations of the middle ear bone relative to the skull. Another way elephants detect seismic cues are through certain behaviors known as freezing behavior. Elephant feet are well suited to detect vibrations due to the dense, fatty cushion in…
