Transparent materials

college to attend as one of the paramount decisions of their life. However, the schooling that one receives does not always reflect the education one possesses. The process of education is far from a clear-cut or defined procedure that provides a transparent conclusion. Rather, the end of education is a personal, subjective observation based upon numerous factors other than just schooling, including life experience, values and the ability to retain and comprehend…

the Southern Song Dynasty; and Wang Yangming as the representative in the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the Neo-Confucianism system can be divided into four factions: the study of philosophic principles “li”, study of the heart/mind “xin”, study of material force "qi" and Great Ultimate “taiji”. (Yao pg117) The discussion of the Neo-Confucianism can be different based on different periods. Neo-Confucianism and the "Five Classics" from the Confucianism period had a major difference that is the "Four…

When thinking about the Gahanna-Jefferson school district I feel strongly that the best way to promote success and achievement is to have teachers focus on intervention and enrichment in order to improve student learning. There is a definitive need for this particular focus and it is aligned with pre-existing ideas already within the district and could be accomplished during professional development days already put into the school calendar. Due to this, the implementation would be rather…

preliminary treatment is removal of coarse solids and large size materials often found in raw wastewaters, to enhance the operation and maintenance of subsequent treatment units. Preliminary treatment typically include coarse screening, grit removal and in some case combination of large objects. Primary Treatment Primary treatment involves removal of settleable organic and inorganic solids by sedimentation, and removal of materials that float (scum) by skimming. Approximately 25-50 percent of…

Nanocrystals (NCs) are interesting material, as their electrical and optical properties can be tuned by tuning their size or surface area. They have diverse applications in electrical devices. Nanocrystal thin film transistors (NC TFTs) have been intensively researched, because of their low-temperature processability.1,2 Colloidal NCs are synthesized in a liquid solution containing some stabilizing organic molecules, broadly termed as surfactants, which are bulky and insulating ligands. The…

I put on a Hijab even though this garment is associated with the Muslim religion and I’m an African-American Christian. The next ten days of this experiment would change my outlook of this silk-like material. This in turn led to my discovery of racism and the understanding of what perhaps Muslims girls go through. What I know about the Qur’an is very little due to my lack of interest. A very close friend of mine who is Muslim once shared her account of her trip to the mall; while there people…

idiosyncrasy that subscribes a conception of the world based on a binary between Western modernity and an always-already postmodern Japan.” According to the West, Japan has diverted the definition of modern subject: representing mind, and embodied transparent neutral transcendental objective that finds him/herself in gender specific role solely responsible for making up narrative for others. Modern subjects were never established in Japan, with Japanese subjects perceived to be constantly loose,…

goal which is to earn profit by selling several different types of high quality beverages. Coca-Cola operates worldwide in almost every country which is on the one side very positive for the company however with its extremely large need for raw materials like water, plastic and metal, it raises environmental questions on a worldwide scale. Some of the main goals discussed in the sustainability report are for example,…

I was one of a very select few that had aced his final exam and to graduate on such a tightrope too! It would be years later that I would realize just how deluded I was. I knew the material. I applied the information in such an effective way that I would get an A+ on his final exam; the exam ALL students in Lawrenceburg dreaded to take. If I had done the homework in his class as well as my other classes, I could’ve graduated with honors…

The light extinction method was developed based on the works of Piere Bouger, August Beer, and Johann Heinrich Lambert (1760). Bouger observed for the first time that the light intensity of a candle decreases when it passes trough a transparent medium and appointed the length and the medium property as the main parameter to explain the light extinction. The correlation of absorbance and light path was proposed by Lambert. Finally, Beer concluded that absorbance is also proportional to the…
