Symmetry

the alpha and beta Iron Phosphate can be identified from the paper. The lower temperature form, α-FePO4, has the space group P3121, while the higher temperature form β-FePO4, has the space group: P6422. These space groups translates to the lattice symmetry of trigonal and hexagonal respectively. The two space groups are chiral. α-FePO4 is the main form of Iron Phosphate in room temperature since the transformation to β-FePO4 only takes place at 980K mark. Therefore, it will be reasonable to…

Humans can boast about the vast realm of knowledge that they have access to. With the increased use of the internet, knowledge is at our fingertips. But as hectic days take its course, one might forget to ask, how was all this knowledge ever acquired? The answer is simple: Through questions like these. Questioning is key to the idea of gaining new knowledge, and often can be looked at as the point where acquisition begins. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a Question is defined as, “A sentence…

Michelangelo’s pieta has been researched comprehensively on different subjects ranging from why he signed this piece only, about the missing leg of Christ, and the draping wet-cloth look on the drapes of Christ and Mary. However, the most important question that has been researched is to figure out why this piece is the best piece he has carved compared to his other works as well as other art pieces done by different sculptors. Scholars such as Joanna E. Ziegler wrote that “Michelangelo…

Lastly, in addition to the syntax of the poem and its use of white space, the overall form of the poem reinforces the poem’s extended metaphor. The poem is reminiscent of a tennis court; the two narrow columns, with their apparent symmetry and the white space in between, alludes to the two people in the couple situated on either side of the court, with a net in between. The picture called to mind in the imagination by the visual arrangement of the text is compounded by the auditory rhythms that…

formal rules. Each team member will exude care for one another, and desire to come together leveraging their strengths to accomplish a common goal. In Steers & Shim’s article regarding strong culture, the authors equated the mathematic concept of symmetry to organizational culture. They suggested that cultures could be characterized by stability and predictability. This is accomplished by strong leaders developing an intentional plan to orchestrate the many moving parts of the organization…

Adam put his first question that where are we Eve? Because they do not recognize this place properly and consequent upon, Eve replies that she also does not recognize this very place. That is the symmetry both of their understanding as they both have same feelings and understanding. (Nathanial Hawthorne, Tales and Analysis, 747). Lawrence’s Eve and Adam feel lonely and frustrated due to their own personal reason, inter-subjectivity or intimacy while Hawthorne’s Eve and Adam are also having same…

Neither city was ever built, but his Ville Radieuse did inspire one building. Though strict, radical and nearly totalitarian in its order and symmetry, Le Corbusier used the utopian ideal formed the basis of a number of urban plans during the 1930s and 1940s culminating in the design and construction of the first Unité d'Habitation in Marseilles in 1952. Unité d'Habitation have 337 apartments in…

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World contains, at its heart, a fundamental question that is a point of contention amongst readers: would it be more beneficial if we as a population strived to create a civilization that mirrors that of the society found in Brave New World? The themes and notions regarding this question that are sprinkled throughout the book are made bare in Chapter 16 and 17, where John and Mustapha Mond meet and discuss the morality of such a society. Mustapha’s moral defense of…

images that is experienced as intrusive and cause anxiety. However, research indicates that certain obsessions and compulsions tend to co-occur to form five main dimensions: obsession about being responsible for causing or failing to prevent harm; symmetry obsession, and ordering or counting rituals; repugnant obsession concerning sex, violence, and religion; and hoarding (Jonathan S Abramowitz, Steven Taylor, Dean McKay, 2009). Symptomology of OCD Obsessive-compulsive disorder, being a…

Most people consider the distance between the Earth and its famous satellite to be fairly insignificant. How could such a nocturnal monument be so far away? However, one could position all of the planets in our solar system so that they fit within the limited space and still have thousands of kilometers to spare. This picture accurately conveys the scale of the universe, and ultimately alters our perspective entirely. Situations in my life have run parallel to this concept. It is a part of…
