Piping

plastic yielding patterns for inlet pigtail pipe bends with the attached straight pipes. For smaller r/t ratio, an intrados region of the pipe bends yields first and then the yielding region spreads to a part of the attached straight pipe. Accordingly piping system can hold more loads, at the higher load, the crown region of the pipe bend finally yields and the load reaches its limit value, which corresponds to the limit moment. Such a phenomenon occurs for smaller value of r/t and also for…

For this Body Biography I will be doing Oberon, The King of Fairies. As symbols for him I chose to use the Indian boy, a potion/liquor, and a storm. The reason behind going with the Indian boy is to show how demanding he is and how he’ll do anything for what he wants. I chose the potion/liquor because it represents his power, but also once again shows how he likes being in control of situations. The storm defines his stubbornness and inability to become content with what he has. The storm of…

of Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate. The earthquake and tsunami triggered the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.

When Greece and Rome are brought up, one might not think much of them since they are relics of the past. One of the most fascinating things, in my opinion, is how Western culture uses the discoveries, ideas, and inventions of the Greco-Roman time as its foundation. These surviving ideas from the past not only influence our modern world, but also influence my personal life quite considerably. I did not realize it at first, but a lot of things I do are closely related to the creations and…

In addition to the personal narratives, she includes an abundance of descriptions of the places she goes, the people she encounters, and the cultures she reports from. In the same story as the Palestine woman living in Jerusalem, Stack described her as, “pretty and slim from living on cigarettes and Nescafé, but her eyes were old and sad. Sometimes she drank iced vodka until she was drunk, leaning over with curses falling out of her mouth, stabbing the night with a cigarette, roaring in broken…

to benefit another bee. The queen may be valuable, because there is only one in each hive, but the queen does not rule the hive. Worker bees send orders by signaling to the queen bee about when to fly in swarms and move elsewhere, which is called piping. Although she is called the “queen bee” the queen bee is not the queen of the hive. When honeybee hive…

Among the five Ancient Greek cultures highlighted in the textbook, the culture of Athens is most appealing to me. The Athenian government, specifically democracy, use of sanitary systems, and the belief in the importance of art all play into its appeal. Though the other cultures had their merits, none fit me as well as Athens. Athens was not always ruled by a democracy, for example, the benevolent dictatorship of Pisistratus and the harsher dictatorship under his son Hippias. However, once…

thunder. Most of the time I am inside when this happens but a few times I have been caught outside. Once when this happened recently, my whole family and I were at Poe Springs for my seventeenth birthday on a Sunday in August. It was around noon and was piping hot, so we all want for an initial swim. After an hour or two, we were all hungry so we began to unpack everything we brought for a picnic lunch. There were all the fixings for sandwiches, a variety of snacks, and…
