Shock wave

The blast wave generating device developed for this project consists of two sections that are equivalent in cross sectional area to the expansion section channel of the shock tube; the front section has internal damper blades that rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position, and the rear section is equipped with internal flow straighteners. The device is to be placed in series between the expansion section and the expansion section channel, and bolted together with the flanges of these two sections. The main operation of this device works by producing a shock wave from the bursting of a diaphragm from the driver section, which travels down the shock tube through the expansion section, and into the device. The wave hits the damper…

yourself.” “Sunset.” I respond without thinking. “For some reason it fit you. I would have thought you would name yourself china or booty luscious or some hood rat name. A stripper name Sunset, hmm I like.” I don’t know why I decided to call myself Sunset, probably because my whole world was left over at Sunset when I perform my last performance and Nino took me to a new world; his world. We walk out and onto the stage behind the curtains. I watch as the girl before me was giving life to her…

As the tension doesn’t drastically rise before the explosion the shock is raw, which unlike some war films, doesn’t romanticise the violence. This could be seen as a more accurate portrayal of violence, as all the deaths are shown as equal, with no one character having a long, dying monologue. The equality of deaths could also be an emphasis on how war does not discriminate and it is not a battle between just soldiers as the lives of many innocent civilians will always be taken too. The camera…

Before the start of the experiment a Slight shock of 45V is administered to the participant in order to show him what the Learner will be experiencing and to further portray the experiment as authentic (Milgram, 1963). However, the participant is not aware that this will be the only real shock in the experiment. The confederate will not be shocked because he is an actor in the situation (Milgram, 1963). He does act as if being shocked, however. In the Voice Feedback condition the Learner starts…

Our data cover sixteen major industrial sectors from nine countries in the Trans-Pacific region. We apply a factor-augmented vector autoregression (FAVAR) approach (Bernanke, Boivin, and Eliasz, 2005) to reduce the dimension of our data and to simulate the transmission of shocks from the Trans-Pacific region to the US. FAVAR has two advantages compared with traditional VAR. First, it can incorporate a broader set of information related to the unknown transmission mechanism by utilizing…

There would be a hole from the memory being erased, such as in the movie Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind when Clementine said, “Nothing makes any sense to me! NOTHING MAKES ANY SENSE!” This was tested when a scientist played a tone for a rat before it was shocked. On an episode from the scientific podcast Radiolab titled "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Rat" Jad Abumrad said, “The moment it hears the tone and feels the shock, inside its head, a bunch of neurons start to build. Whenever…

a hat to determine what role they would play in the study. However the drawings were rigged to infer that the true participants became the teacher and the accomplice was always the learner. Once the participant assumed their role the learner was taken into a room next door, and with the participant watching, he was then strapped to a chair with wired electrodes, which was connected to the shock generator in the next room with the teacher. Once the learner was attached instructions of the…

hives, and/or decrease blood pressure. Anaphylaxis can cause the contraction of bronchial smooth muscles and edema in the throat making it difficult to breathe, eventually causing death. This is due to the peripheral pooling and tissue edema, following vasodilation and increased vascular permeability. Anaphylaxis is also referred to as anaphylactic shock and can be treated through the use of epinephrine when administered intramuscularly. The administration of epinephrine can reverse airway…

else thinks instead of having their own opinion. People fear authority and afraid to say no, but there are also people who are disobedient, think they are above others, and are sick of listening to authority. During the milgram experiment, a yale professor conducted experiments to study authority to obedience by violating patience conscience. The experiment consisted of fake shocking to actors while studying the reactions of patients “Of the forty subjects in the first experiment, twenty…

of a woman who rejoiced when a terribly tragic event happened to her husband. This story starts in 1894 when women had no power. The woman’s name was Mrs. Mallard, and she was married to Brently Mallard. She had a heart disease and any seriously shocking moments could trigger a fatal heart attack. Mrs. Mallard is an unsympathetic person based on her desire to become a widow, the perceived joy and freedom of her husband’s death, and the shock she faces when she realizes her husband is still…
