Sydney Harbour Bridge

From the Bering Strait to the connection between the Hill Center and the Engineering Building, bridges have been used for thousands of years to connect people with places. As people began building bridges, they have to consider not only the structural integrity of the bridge for the safety of the passengers crossing the bridge. With the invention of cars, even more safety precautions must be enacted to keep everyone safe. A car is being driven on a windy day has a higher chance of turning over…

How did the insights gained through your participation in CTE 101 assist you in effectively planning instruction that was defined by the CTE model curriculum standards, CSTP’s, and TPE’s. Be specific. During my participation in CTE 101 class, I was able to learn about engaging and supporting my students’ learning using the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Using those standards, I was able to better connect with my students and bring their prior life experiences and interests to…

Introduction: The bridge lab project was based on the given scenario in which a reliable bridge needed to be constructed over a river in order to alleviate traffic. The objective was to design a bridge to relieve traffic flow that was also safe, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing. The constraints for this project included the budget and minimum height and width requirements. The max budget to purchase wood was $200, the minimum height at all points of the bridge was 3 inches, the…

Have you ever wondered how to build a windmill? Or basically anything out of paper? Well, like William Kamkwamba did in the story, “A Young Tinkerer Builds a Windmill, Electrifying a Nation”, I will be demonstrating how to build a windmill, but out of paper. First and Foremost, you will need to have the supplies needed for the windmill! Can you guess which comes first? It’s not that laborious, all you need is paper! The most important detail you’ll need for making a windmill is making sure that…

and as well as a son-in-law to protect and provide for his loved ones. On the other hand, Carton admits that he has no purpose or value in life “I am a disappointed drudge, sir. I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me" (85). Sydney Carton views his life purpose as a failure, where no one cares for him, just as he does not care for anyone else. Unlike Darnay, who has a wealthy background and a family, Carton comes from a bourgeoisie background and decides that his life has no…

Mr. Stryver and Sydney Carton both come from similar backgrounds having attended the same school. Yet it is clear that both have built different lifestyles. Stryver, makes his way as a successful lawyer whose accomplishments can be credited to his way of “shouldering his way up in life” (137). His manner is loud and far from delicacy––his being referred to as “the fellow of delicacy” in chapter twelve is a sarcastic term in which it is clear Stryver is certainly not delicate. His presence is…

Darnay and Sydney Carton. The two cities Charles Dickens alludes in his title are his birthplace London, and Paris, the site of the French Revolution to analyze the social conditions that led to this…

The effects of gene mutation on Olfactory Sensory Neurons in Caenorhabditis Elegans Amira Brown University of California, Santa Barbara Abstract This experiment examines the effects of distinct odorants on chemotaxis behavior of the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. Elegans). Nematode worms are appropriate for sensory physiology studies because its neuronal wiring is similar to that of humans. We focused on the role of three sensory neurons in the nose of the…

Sydney Carton and Mr. Stryver following along in Dickens’s motif of double are alike and different in their demeanor, in that they share some common traits and values. If one was to look at their similarities, one could go all the back to where they knew each other, which was way back to when they were in school, where they were known as surly drunks. Also after their college careers, they both still continued to drink. “‘And now we have done, Sydney, fill a bumper of punch’” (Dickens 93).…

Much Cargo the Bridge can Hold Shivan Giroti Ms. Page Honors Life Science P6 10/2/15 Statement of Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to see how someone can use less materials to make safe bridges that work well. The controls are the material of the bridge, the model of the bridge, the cargo, and the surface. The manipulated variable is the distance between the support structures. Hypothesis If the support structures are each 1/4 away from each other then the bridge will hold…
