For hundreds of years, leaders have been defined not by their personality but rather by their effectiveness in leading their people to prosperity. Beowulf, an epic poem written nearly two thousand years ago, is set during a time of great social change. Tribes began to build villages and towns as opposed to living nomadic lives. With this major lifestyle change, kingship and general leadership had to adapt while maintaining the necessary power and nobility. Beowulf shows different leaders who…

Hamstring Strain Injury & Incidence (20%- 750-1250) Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) pose a significant problem within English professional soccer accounting for 12% of all injuries (25), with over half (53%) affecting the Biceps Femoris Long Head (BFLH) (70). To decelerate the extending knee and flexing hip (5, 31, 70) during kicking and late swing phase of gait (33, 59), the hamstrings must undergo intense eccentric loading in a lengthened position (16). Stretching to 110% of its length in…

This project is a group work, will be accomplished by three students in about 20 weeks. A single cylinder test engine block will be combined with a Ford cylinder head, then to be installed on the testbed coupled with an AC dynamometer. After connecting the control sensors, the engine will be tested in various operating conditions. 1.1 Background Engine is a machine which converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially the combustion engine converts combustion energy into…

Critically review the Evidence of Clinical Effectiveness of Therapeutic Ultrasound for the Treatment of Soft Tissue Injuries Introduction: Electrotherapy is used by practitioners to assist in pain reduction and to accelerate the healing process via an increase in energy: electrical, sound, light, magnetic, temperature (Physioworks, 2015). The treatment modalities that come under the umbrella of electrotherapy are as follows: Ultrasound, Laser, Transcutaneous Electrical nerve stimulation…

Introduction Functional electrical stimulation (FES) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an therapeutic technique by which small electrical impulses are applied to a paralyzed or spastic muscle in order to induce contraction and thereby improve its function. Traditionally, NMES refers to those stimulatory protocols directed at increasing strength and FES with function. FES can stimulate muscle contraction for exercise, bladder management, grasping, standing, and walking, among…

Beowulf Beowulf is the story of a warrior who fights against monsters to gain glory and the treasure of south-Scandinavian cultures. Beowulf is a heroic story in general however when I read Beowulf, I realized that not only the story tells about the hero who fights against monsters alone but the treasure in the story also plays a significant role throughout the story and also serves many functions. For example, treasure takes form as a legacy when the father passes armor to sons. Treasure also…

Introduction: Since the industrial revolution coal and oil have ruled the energy world. Oil was abundant, so it was an obvious choice to create machines that ran on oil. Coal and oil became the new standard and these energy sources were the most industrialized countries such as China, The United States and Germany. In the beginning no one realized the possible downfalls of the oil industry, such as the scarcity as demand increased, or the extremely high release of CO2 emissions. Due to these…

Abstract:In today’s automobile world it is a great desirable challenge to build an engine having more power generation & less fuel consumption,which are desired parameters for the increased efficiency of the engine. For getting more power engine needs more fuel and if less fuel consumption is needed the power transmitted will be less. In conventional engines the heat energy using is 30% of produced energy and the remaining energy nearly 70% is going as waste. That means, to get more power from…

Robbing the temple of Mother Larina, it was an audacious idea; the grounds were so well guarded that even the best thieves in the city wouldn't dare to try. And that is how Aaron knew he could pull it off. Of course he wouldn't just try to jump the wall in the night, and slip in a window, that's the kind of thing that would get him caught. No, Aaron had a plan, and it was a plan that would turn what many considered one of his weaknesses into an asset; something he's often been teased about over…

fluid being moved. Centrifugal pumps utilize centrifugal force (thus their name) to increase the velocity of the fluid as it passes through the impeller and exits at the tip or periphery of the impeller. This action converts mechanical energy (shaft torque) into kinetic energy by acceleration of the fluid to a higher velocity and pressure (potential energy). It is necessary to be concerned about the vibrations because it has a major affect on the performance of…
