many cars, taxi’s and other transport. Here you can read a quote wherein Christopher is playing a game on his computer and a taxi arrives. “And I was playing The Eleventh Hour on my computer that evening when a taxi stopped outside the house. Mr Shears was in the taxi and he got out of the taxi and he got out of the taxi and threw a big cardboard box of things belonging to Mother onto the lawn.” (p.259) In the next quotation, Christopher talks about his Father’s…

areas are likely to be susceptible to erosion and potential landslip, resulting in raised silt levels in water bodies which can have an impact on aquatic species while deposition of material can affect vegetation. (SNH, 2011) 2.5.3 Peat Instability and Landslide Impacts Peat instability, either naturally or caused by human activity, can have a major impact on peatlands integrity. Assessing the likely impacts is extremely important for several reasons, not least that the hydrology of the…

Drag force is an aerodynamic force which acts parallel and opposite to the motion of the object when it moves through a fluid. It is caused by friction and differences in air pressure. There are many factors can affect the magnitude of drag force as with aircraft lift. The drag depends linearly on the shape and size of the object moving through the air. The object’s cross-sectional shape determines the form drag which is created by the pressure variation around the object and affects the…

Ed also exposes a helpless side of himself with the affair with Mrs. Shears, showing that he wanted love and support. However, Christopher becomes frightened of his father. “I couldn’t live with father anymore because it was dangerous.” Christopher’s logic tells him he has to leave the house, because if his father killed…

Question 2 What are stem cells (what characteristics define them)? Stem cells are cells that has the potential to develop into different cell types in the body during early life and growth. They serve as an internal repair system , dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person is alive .When a stem cell divides it can either remain as a stem cell or can develop into a cell with more specialized function like muscle cell, red blood cell etc. Two…

restricted and does not grow for the simple reason that he is unable to express his emotions when they grow too strong. When he found out that his mother had an affair with Mr. Shears, he did not get upset or sad because he knew his mother was dead. “I don’t feel sad about it. Because Mother is dead. And because Mr. Shears isn’t around anymore. So I would be feeling sad about something that isn't real and doesn't exist. And that would be stupid.” (Haddon, pg. 75) Later on in the novel,…

The phone rings and he hopes that it is anybody except another mother crying “fix my boy”. It seems to be an endless cycle for this mortician. Patricia Smith uses the metonymy…

slope exceeds its resisting force, slope failure (mass wasting) occurs. The slope material's strength and cohesion and the amount of internal friction between materials help maintain the slope's stability, and are known collectively as the slope's shear strength. The steepest angle that a cohesionless slope can maintain without losing its stability is known as angle of repose. When a slope possesses this angle, its…
