causes great destruction. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to a mile; the rotating winds may attain velocities of 200 to 300 mi (320–480 km) per hr, and the updraft at the center may reach 200 mi per hr. The Enhanced Fujita scale is the standard scale for rating the severity of a tornado as measured by the damage it causes. A tornado is usually accompanied by thunder, lightning, heavy rain, and a loud "freight train" noise. In comparison with a cyclone or hurricane, a tornado…

Likeability is going to be something that causes individuals to judge other individuals. One thing about likeability is going to be different judgments towards something. It does not matter if those individuals like a given topic or give situation. I have give four examples to support that likeability can change depending on the situation. The effects of service dogs on social acknowledgments of people in wheelchairs (Obermiller et al., 2011) showed that people make judgments on people in a…

Cayenne pepper is best known for its ability to increase the heat level of dishes and is prized by lovers of spicy foods the world over. This type of chile pepper is especially popular in Mexican and Mexican-influenced cuisine. However, the cayenne pepper is much more than a mere flavor enhancer. Cayenne peppers provide an array of nutritional benefits along with their heat. Those benefits result from high levels of nutrients and health-improving compounds like: Vitamins A 5 g serving of…

evaluated on 7 items. Again, points are administered for independence and strength of performance of individual actions, such as sitting or standing. Maximum score for this section is 14. The Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living The Barthel scale (reference) is a ten item index assessing patients Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and morbidity, including: absence or presence or faecal and/or urinary incontinence, as well needing help with grooming, toilet use, feeding, transfers,…

supercell caused 363 tornadoes to touch down in several states within a four day period. On April 27th alone, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed over 200 tornadoes touched down that ranked between F-0 and F-6 on the Fujita scale. This record breaking phenomenon resulted in the deaths of 348 people with damages estimating over $11 billion dollars. Due to the magnitude of the outbreak, National Weather Services assigned several teams to not only investigate the…

catastrophic EF5 multiple-vortex tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri in the late afternoon of Sunday, May 22, 2011. “The Enhanced F-scale, or EF scale, is a set of wind estimates (not measurements) based on damage” (Enhanced Fujita Tornado Damage Scale). The Joplin tornado reached wind speeds of at least 200 mph, putting the tornado at the highest part of the scale. The tornado rapidly intensified and tracked eastward across the city, and then…

CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MY CD "COMPOSITIONAL IMPROVISATIONS™ FROM THE "MYSTERIA", AND "COMPOSITIONAL IMPROVISATIONS VOL I: WATER": Because these are improvisations, the use of the motives in the templates is to some extent arbitrary, as choices were made "in the moment" of improvisation--which is one of the most important aspects of the templates, one that can bring tremendous spontaneity to a performance. Other motives not in this template are used in the course of these improvisations as well,…

are designed to provide facts and information for forum discussion and face-to-face interactions”. The reliability of the four-item scale computed using Cronbach’s alpha is 0.854. Stage 2: Online Discussion The online discussion is measured using a five-item scale and the score for each subject is a summed score across the five items, using a five-point Likert scale ranging from 5 = strongly agree to 1 = strongly disagree. The forum topics mimic the real-world situations in the classroom so…

to 60 s dwelling time. The highest hardness value is 15.6GPa. As the indenter penetration depth increases, the hardness value decreases. This phenomenon suggests that there exist an indentation size effect (ISE). The ISE, according to Nix and Gao’s model, is related to the concept of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) (Nye 1953), an inverse relationship between the GND density…

rotating updraft. “Only about 20% of all supercell thunderstorms, will actually produce a tornado” (Tornado Types). The other one is non-supercell thunderstorms. Non-supercell thunderstorms are circulations that do not form from an organized storm-scale rotation. These tornadoes form from a vertically spinning parcel of already occurring near the ground caused by wind shear from a warm, cold, or sea breeze front, or a dryline. Eastern Colorado experiences these non-supercell tornadoes, when…
