Relative survival

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…

I first saw Emily Carr’s paintings in a book of great Canadian artists within the library of my Ontario public school. In this book was the painting created in 1935 called Scorned as Timber, Beloved as the Sky. This painting depicts a tall tree rejected as being too spindly for good lumber that is left standing in clearcut forest against the feathered shimmering sky. The painting had a unusually quality that depicts a place that was impossible to go, yet to surrounds Canadian’s everyday the…

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a crowd of young boys experiences a mysterious plane crash that lands them on an almost completely deserted island to fend for themselves. From the start, the first introduced main character, Ralph, is seen as a strong, smart leader for the boys and brings them together. Two of the most rational main boys on the…

Throughout society the vast majority of individuals struggle with different forms of oppression as well as privilege based on their identities. The way an individual identifies himself or herself changes the way in which they move through the world. Although differences are present, as Chris Dixon (2014) mentions “ we are forging a shared politics through struggle. We believe in the power of people to fight for justice and dignity and to shape history in the process.” (p. 3). With all of the…

According to graph, the survival curve of intervention group is above the survival curve of control group, which means, the higher rate of myocardial infarct in the control group. Thus, the intervention group has the better survival than control group.The hazard ratio is 0.57 (95% CI 0.35 to 0.87) Intervention the term intervention[T.Intervention] to the left of the results indicates that intervention=1 is the numerator of the hazard ratio. In this case, the hazard ratio is 0.57 which indicates…

Some people think spending a day in the woods is relaxing and peaceful. I used to think that as well, until I went turkey hunting. Spending a day in the woods hunting with my brothers was frustrating, hard, and aggravating all at the same time because of the mistakes I made. It was a life changing experience. Hunting will get your blood pumping and your heart racing you’ll end up wanting to go turkey hunting more than you ever thought you would. You might think it’s a little insane to wake up at…

to communicate. They are; the ability to work together, Jack and Ralph’s quest for power, and determination. The ability to work together is a major theme is Lord of the Flies. Without it, the boys on the island would have a much lower chance of survival. When the boys first crash on the island, they find a conch shell. Whoever has the conch shell is the only one who can speak at that time. Ralph uses it to call the boys, “We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when…
