Surface tension

Yoginis, created in 800CE, is a sculpture that hails from Uttar Pradesh, India. At first sight this work appears to be rather commonplace and plain. There isn’t much about this piece that calls the viewers attention. There are no colors painted to the surface, which is a plain stone. This sculpture seems to have some religious connotation. Religion seems a likely explanation as Indian culture promotes a polytheistic culture. This ideal is readily seen in this work, made apparent by the figures,…

ISIS verse Al-Qaeda and Aum Shinrikyo—Using Chemical Weapons: In attempting to answer if ISIS’s apocalyptic views of the world paired with their willingness to acquire and use chemical weapons can prove to be evidence that the group will seek and use nuclear weapons, comparing ISIS to al Qaeda and Aum Shinrikyo is necessary. Al- Qaeda followed a similar trajectory as ISIS in their pursuit and use of chemical weapons. In 2001, a computer was found at an Al Qaeda safe house…

Throughout the poem “A Story,” Li-Young Lee uses carefully selected language and punctuation, as well as a variety of line and stanza structure, to provide insight into the way that a father views the complex relationship shared by him and his son. The poem opens up with a short, two-line stanza that conveys a solemn feeling through one impactful sentence. The very placement of the word “man” towards the center of the first line establishes a focal point, or emphasis, on this one character,…

As senior leaders in the Army we are entrusted to be stewards of not only army property, but also the soldiers we have the responsibility to mentor and lead in a positive direction. In this paper I will discuss some of the ethical and moral challenges I face and how this module reinforced an obligation to set the standard and lead by example. In Joseph Doty’s Military Review, Character verses Competence, he states that the Army does a great job putting out PowerPoint briefings and setting…

the nucleus. 2. Name five characteristics of water and relate them to the structure of water. Water has a high heat capacity Water has a high heat of vaporization Water is a solvent Water molecules are cohesive and adhesive Water has a high surface tension 3. Define an acid and base; describe the pH scale and state the significance of buffers. Acid are molecules tending to…

Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn explores the concepts of racial relations and human complexity in the 19th century. While the story presents an unanticipated friendship between a white boy and a fugitive slave, it reveals much more beneath the surface. In a society struggling with intense racism, Huck looks beyond color and discovers the humanity in his African American compatriot, Jim. Twain employs a veil of ignorance that conveys Jim as more than a slave, exposes character intentions,…

What a fantastic and wonderful experience to be able to see what lies ahead of me in my nursing education; Two weeks ago I got to observe an upper division lab about administering intramuscular injections. It was especially exciting since my friend Elizabeth was one of the students nurses participating the lab and I was able see her give her first intramuscular injection! Being able to observe this lab was another confirmation that nursing is what I am I meant to be studying. It always…

The American avant-garde were notable for the unconventional ways in which they approached the canvas. They transformed their surfaces into an “Arena in which to act, rather than as a space in which to reproduce, re-design, analyse or express an object actual or imagined.” (The American Action Painter p.22) This approach to painting will become apparent through an analysis of Jackson Pollock’s artistic practice with a focus on his work “Blue Poles.” Pollock approach to painting can be likened to…

“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” With this statement from section I of The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx succinctly summarizes the motivation behind and application of socialism, explaining that, throughout history, an oppressor and an oppressed have quietly fought each other until only two primary adversaries remained: the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. In accordance with this perception of history, Marxian socialism as verbalized in the 19th…

Kylie Bernal Research Paper General ideas and topics covered in this research paper will include tensile strength, tension, elasticity, and temperature. Information on these topics will also include how their properties can differ, as well how they are affected under various circumstances. The strength of materials and how different properties affect it can change the circumstances they are put under. Tensile strength is the resistance of a material put under stress. It is different than…
