Reinforced concrete

The concluding part of the Cleveland Way leaves the hustle and bustle of Scarborough behind and returns us to the more enjoyable cliff paths. The coastal scenery is stunning, and with just over 500 feet (152m) of ascent remaining we can appreciate the closing miles and reflect on some of the more memorable experiences of our journey. Resuming from the harbour, we continue along the seafront around the South Bay to the Spa Complex. In 1626 Elizabeth Farrer, the wife of one of Scarborough’s…

Frost minimizes adjectives, choosing concrete nouns to relate emotions through imagery. The theme of anguish and grief continues with Frost 's writing style of rhyming, spacing, and repetition. Frost 's “Acquainted with…

Parana Pine: For the Parana Pine I obtained the published value from a website since the values on the lab sheet didn’t have a values for Parana Pine. Firstly, I calculated my own Young’s Modulus Value with the result got from the tests using the equation for Young’s Modulus in Bending: E= l³/(4bd^3 ) x ( Δw)/( Δx) From using this equation, I achieved 14.44 E/GPa as a value, the published value, was: 11.37 E/GPa found on ‘The Wood Database’. The difference between my results and the…

Eventually, the rat would haphazardly press the button and release food, this, eventually, would lead to the rat learning to press the button when it wants food. This shows Skinner’s axiom of reinforcement. In this case the rat’s behavior is reinforced by a means of receiving…

rats, which he placed in a ‘Skinner Box’. This experiment resulted in Skinner developing schedules (or intervals) of reinforcement (continuous and partial) that could be used to create any desired behaviour. He discovered that behaviour that is reinforced tends to reoccur by the individual, and behaviour…

considered freaks was the “racist presentations of them and their culture by promoters” (29). For example, Sara Baartman, or “The Hottentot Venus”, was a typical Khoisan woman from South Africa that gained fame from her distinctive buttocks. This further reinforced the notion that blacks were sexual deviants, as shown in the Tuskegee study. “Zip the Pinhead” was characterized as the “missing link” from apes, emphasizing the notion that they were not necessarily humans. As for “The ugliest Woman…

began to appear in the nineteenth century. Materials such as steel and concrete give architects unreleased possibilities of creation, which makes the style completely unlike anything have seen. What best characterizes and makes me like modern architecture is the utilization of simples shapes, geometrical forms, and the lacking of ornamentation. This style values the use of materialism its essence, for example the exposed concrete. The differences presented in this style vary almost…

Amorphous Peat Amorphous peat is a type of peat where its moisture content is constantly high which is more than 200% based on a case study by Kazemian et al., 2011. According to Huat, 2004, amorphous peat is also highly humified where any plant components in the peat itself is very indistinct or invisible with its colour of being more to of a darker side of a brown colour. This type of peat has high to medium composition of organic matter where, it’s fiber content is less than 33% (Huat,…

Operant conditioning is characterized by antecedent- behavior- consequence; altering the antecedent or consequence, or both, changes the behavior (Woolfolk, p.250). The behavior is either reinforced or suppressed, by either reinforcement or punishment. The two types of reinforcement are positive and negative; positive reinforcement is rewarding the behavior with a desired stimulus (Woolkfolk, p.251). An example would be rewarding a student…

United States Air Force Memorial Rough Draft The United States Air Force Memorial is a beautiful memorial designed to empower the Air Force’s strength, air. The Army’s strength of land is easy to present with hills, the Navy’s/ Marine’s strength of water is easy to present with fountains and lakes, but the Air Force’s strength of air is very difficult to present. They presented this strength accurately. The United States Air Force Memorial honors those who have served and those who have died…
