B. SIDELL ABSTRACT -- Puffins, one of the few wing-propelled diving birds, are specialized into a specific niche. By balancing the optimization of their bodies for locomotion between the two media of air and sea water created a unique anatomy for a bird. The evolution of Auks, which includes the puffin, shows a mixture of characteristics similar to those of the ultimate diving bird, the penguin, and the large-winged flyers, such as the pelican. Wing-propelled diving has evolved numerous times in…

average size for the genus. Each of the four wings of this dragonfly can move independently and are powered by powerful muscles. The wings normally beat 35 times per second and propel the dragonfly to speeds of 35 miles per hour. Dragonflies have a visual field of almost 360 degrees. The legs of dragonflies are not able to walk. The Warpaint Emerald Dragonfly is about 49-50 mm long in adults. The abdomen is approximately 38-47 mm and, the hind wing is about 31-37 mm long. This dragonfly has a…

Their repertoire of sounds range from uttering a liquid, rambling medley of soft caws, coos, clicks and rattles and rusty gate sounds. They may not be classified as songbirds, but they are every bit as interesting. Sleek black in color with inquisitive eyes, a loping gait and an intelligence level that far outreaches that of their lighter colored winged bretheren, the crow is a bird well worthy of our respect and admiration. Nearly every bird watching guide describes the American Crow as one of…

ways to wake up. This isn’t the only time That Guest uses words in a negative way. “the unmistakable shuffling shoulders-bent walk. mostly old men but some younger ones, too, in the dull, dusty-maron bathrobes, side flapping loosely, like the drooped wings of dying birds”…

A scale model parachute will be designed and constructed to fall safely for the attached LEGO man to survive the parachute will provide enough air resistance to counteract gravity. One reason there is science in this problem is if the parachute goes to fast and kills the LEGO man to make the parachute go slower the parachute would have to be improved. Also, if parachute would be improved based on things such as how to make the air resistance greater making the parachute slower. Another, things…

Analysis/Discussion: This graph above shows that different heights does affect the speed of a shuttlecock. On the x axis, the data is the height of where the shuttlecock is dropped from, while the y axis is the average speed (m/s). The height where the shuttlecock is dropped increases, as the average speed of each height increases as well. The result of the graph is shown that the line keeps on increasing even if it is not a straight line graph. These results support my hypothesis, which states…

The mere mention of martyrdom may arouse an array of reactions because of its association with killing, violence and/or death in everyone who is familiar with the practice; and although martyrdom is not limited to any person, religion, or society and often, we find ourselves faced with a moral dilemma. But at what cost, are we willing to sacrifice in order to be happy and/or to find what we consider true happiness? Many like to say true happiness is dependent upon various circumstances and/or…

afterwards one sees things previously taken for granted. Magical Realism was created by two South American authors, Marquez and Borges. Marquez is also the author of A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, so it makes sense that he wrote about a literary classification he helped create. A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is a clear example of Magical Realism; it is shown through the plot, as well as the character’s actions. No matter how unreal or unbelievable the situation seemed, the entire town…
