GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, HOW CLOSE ARE WE? PHSCS 222 Collective Paper November 23, 1999 #123 #272 #666 #895 The Detection of Gravitational Waves, How Close Are We? Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves, there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made that support their existence but no direct measurement. This paper gives a brief explanation of gravitational waves and discusses the…

The region is tectonically characterized by the ~6 kilometer thick oceanic Nazca plate subducting underneath the continental South American plate at a convergence azimuth of ~ 78 ͦ and at a rate of 6.6 centimeters per year making the area one of the most active convergent margins on earth, typically experiencing a Mw > 8 earthquake every 10 – 20 years (Moscoso, et.al., 2011). Notable quakes in recent history include the 1960 Mw = 9.5 Valdivia earthquake which was the largest ever recorded,…

An earthquake is when the ground shakes uncontrollably causing damage to buildings, roads and housing structures. This happens when two pieces of earth slip over one another. The area where this slip occurs is called a fault line. The area under the surface of the earth where the earthquake takes place is called the hypocenter, and the area above this place is called the epicenter. In some cases a seismic tremor has foreshocks. These are littler quakes that happen in the same place as the…

So it makes sense to harness the very essence of energy and use it as an alternative energy source, and wave generators aim to do just that. Like all generators, a wave generator works by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy via electromagnetic induction. In 1831 Michael Faraday discovered that moving a wire through a magnetic field induces a voltage in the wire that is…

Today, my topic is about Korean drama. Korean drama is very popular in the world, especially in Asia. l am very interested in this phenomenon. According to my research, it can be divided into three types------middle-aged women, teenagers and sociologists. The first type is middle-aged women. Middle-aged women like to watch Korean drama. We should analyze the common characteristics in this age. Middle-aged women’s ages are between 35 to 55, and this type can continue to be divided into two kinds…

There has been evidence that scientists have found along the Alaska Peninsula that might be similar to the earthquake that happened in Japan of 2011 that caused severe damage. There were plate alignments found underwater that resembled the earthquake and tsunami that happened in Japan. Researchers found that close to the plates surfaces were conditions that could trigger an earthquake and build a destructive tsunami. Researchers are able to look into how Alaska might be prone to the damage that…

Product Acorns is an automated micro-investing application that allows clients to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The extra change is invested by the company. When a person signs up, it generally costs $1 a month for an account that generates less than $5,000. According to Acorns’ website “You just link a debit or credit card and after every use Acorns tracks the spare change from the transaction and makes it available for you to invest” (What is Acorns?, n.d.). To create an…

Immunoprecipitation and Sequencing (ChIP-seq) of Heat Shock Factor (HSF) Temporal Binding Sites during the Critical Period of 8-12 Hr After Egg Lay (AEL) in Drosophila melanogaster Embryogenesis Background Heat Shock Response was discovered by the Italian scientist Ferrucio Ritossa, when he saw puffs in the Drosophila polytene chromosome on inducing them with heat. It was later discovered that this Heat Shock Response was regulated by a transcription factor called Heat Shock Factor (HSF). The…

French New Wave Cinema during its time was something completely special and different for the world of films. Because of French New Wave it brought on a sense of realism that was never seen before and improvisation that was not considered possible for the cinema to create a film. So using examples from the films “Band of Outsiders” and “Faces” we can see not only the examples of what French New Wave so distinct but also its affects on cinema today. French New Wave itself was a movement based…

Pingxuan Cao Instructor: Rebecca Levy ENWR 1510-005 21 October 2016 Family Support vs. Psychiatric Care Under the widespread influence of fraudulent advertisements and deceptive suggestions from specialists permeated in society, many people incorrectly attribute the recovery of many geniuses from madness to professional psychiatric care while overlooking the silent support they receive from their family members, which counts for the happiness and physical well-being of those gifted people. If we…
