science that does not have an immediate benefit in everyday lives is often seen as less important. In the movie, Particle Fever (2013), Mark Levinson delves into the world of science and the creation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The United States government halted the production of a similar version of the LHC because they found no immediate benefits from this experiment. They deemed money to be spent on more practical applications such as funding the military, schools, or healthcare facilities. Mark Levinson uses his film to show that investing money into big science projects, like the LHC, is a worthy cause because it answers theories and the many questions scientists and non-scientists alike have about the creation of ourselves and the world. Though it seems insignificant to some, the ideas that are found can become significant and practical applications that can advance and enhance our lives and the world later on in the future. Mark Levinson brings to light what science truly is and why it is so important for their research to be funded. The film focuses on the creation of the Large Hadron Collider, which cost $10 billion and took 19 years to create. This machine is very important in proving or disproving over 30 years of theories and ideas about how we humans and the world were created. The main theory scientists are trying to solve is if the Higgs Boson Particle actually exists. The film focused on a handful of people, theorists and experimentalist, who both had…

completely separate and opposite studies. Art has always been seen as the display of pictures created by talented artists, while on the other hand, science has always been seen as experiments and research. In the documentary, Particle Fever, the movie brings attention to the different view of the arts and sciences as two interdependent subjects. The director, Dr. David Kaplan, uses the documentary to give his audience an inside view to the world’s largest experiment at the European Organization…

grain-machine interaction systems responses where the micro parameters in DEM models are developed using particle-particle friction, particle-geometry friction and the particle density to simulate material behavior (Asaf et al., 2007). The particle size and shape distribution are also considered to be input DEM parameters. In DEM, spherical particles are usually preferred because of the efficiency of contact detection. However, when using this type of particles, the bulk friction of the assembly…

An atom is known as the basic unit of a chemical element; however, atoms are no longer considered the smallest particle in existence. From approximately 460 BC to present day 2015, human knowledge about atomic particles has drastically changed. Over the years, research has led to new discoveries involving atoms, subatomic particles, and quarks. Several philosophers including Leucippus, Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Gell-Mann have contributed to humanity 's vast knowledge about…

Key Idea 1 Bosons are particles that follow Bose-Einsteins statistics. It makes up one of the two classes of particles, the other is fermions. Fermions are electrons, neutrons, and protons. Boson is mesons, alpha particles, and photons. Boson statistics do not restrict the number of them that occupy the same quantum state. There are two levels of states, excited state and ground state. Quantum states are controlled by constraints which they are invaded by. An example of this is notes from an…

Takaaki Kajita from Japan and Arthur B. McDonald from Canada “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass.” Their discovery was announced to be a historic discovery for particle physics. After a various amount of experiments and calculations, neutrinos were considered massless; however, after years of working Dr. Kajita and Dr. McDonald have come to the conclusion that neutrinos are capable of changing their identities, or flavors, and therefore they must…

Particle size plays an important role in evaluating the quality and performance of a mineral processing plant (Horiba 2014, 1). It also influences many of the properties of a particulate such as its reaction rate with some reagents. Particle size analysis is significant in determining the quality of ore grind and in establishing the degree of liberation of the valuable materials from the gangue (Haldar 2013, 227). This is done by mineral processing plants to ensure that the desired particle size…

The article demonstrates the extreme damage that the remaining plastic particles pollute the ocean and result in the deaths of marine lives, for instance, fish, sea turtles, sea birds and marine mammals. It straightly emphasizes the plastic problem at the beginning with statistics which show the significance of this issue. Thousands of tones of plastics flow into the ocean, which not only pollute the water, but also endanger the ecological system. Furthermore, the article discusses specific…

The Moving Particles Semi-implicit (MPS) method was introduced in the mid-1990s by Koshizuka et al. cite{Koshizuka-1995} to simulate incompressible flows with free surfaces. As a fully Lagrangian particle-based method, it has several advantages in modeling of free surface flows with large deformation, fragmentation and merging, solids with complex geometry, multiphase flows and multiphysics problems. In recent years, much effort has been done to solve the problems of huge processing time…

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Particle size analysis The diameters of the curcumin, honey and curcumin+WPI+MH complex measured using Mastersizer were 3.480 µm, 1.349 µm and 20.911 µm respectively. The size of WPI measured with Zetasizer was 250 nm. Quantitative particle size and shape analysis provides information that has either a direct effect or correlation to issues such as bioavailability, solubility, formulation stability, and quality control. Scanning Electron Microscopy SEM micrographs of…
