Atwood Narrative As the leaves bristle and the thin sheets of wind intrude through the slender opening of the window of the bus, sat a grey backpack with a variety of stickers scattered onto the fabric in diverse figures and colors, each giving the dull backpack a sense of flare. Besides the backpack displayed a boy sitting on a cold, leather seat, crossing his arms, a picture of his grandfather-who served in Camp Grant, now called Atwood- clenched tightly against his chest. “Now reaching…
tonality shifts from major to minor modes and vice versa. Swan explains that the fluctuation between major and minor modes is one of the characters of Russian traditional folksong. Taruskin further mentions that the seemingly unstable interplay of relative major and minor keys reflecting what ethnomusicologists call the ‘mutable mode’ (peremennïy lad) of genuine Russian folklore. In the oratorio, only song no. 2 shows this trait as shown in fig.…
Introduction: Microclimate is the difference in climate that occurs on a very small scale. Microclimate can be created because of altitude, aspect, vegetation, color of the ground, and boulders and burrows. Aspect is created in the presence of topographic features like hills, mountains, and valleys. In the Northern Hemisphere, the north-facing slopes are cooler because they receive less sun than the south-facing slopes. Since they receive less sun, they are also moister due to decreased…
correctly date ancient artifacts. The available methods allow them to accurately date objects that are hundreds of years old up to a few million years old. Dating methods are used to find out about how old an artifact may be, or how old it is exactly. Relative dating methods are stratigraphy and style analysis. Absolute dating methods used are absolute dating, radiocarbon dating, uranium-lead dating, and luminescence dating. Stratigraphy as a dating method, is based around the principle that…
(15) where r is the relative position of the dipole with respect to the charge. As a carrier trapped by a localized state, the potential energy of the Coulomb interaction between the carrier and dipole moment can be expressed as [73-75]: E_CC=-(qP cosθ)/(4πε_0 ε_r r^2 ) (16) where q is the elementary charge, ε_0 is the dielectric permittivity, and ε_r is the relative dielectric permittivity, and θ is the angle between vector L…
conductive plates with a dielectric material in between them. For parallel plate capacitors, capacitance can be expressed as, C = [ (Aεoεr)/d ]. Where Cis the capacitance, A is the overlapping area of the two plates, εois the permittivity of free space, εr is the relative permittivity of the dielectric material and d is distance between the plates. Capacitive sensors can be made very small, which allows the construction of dense sensor arrays. In general, capacitive tactile sensors exhibit a…
