- 4801: Kevlar
- ... name by DuPont (Sci. & Inv. Enc., 1352), was invented in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek. A Kevlar woven millibar (shown on project board) has 18,000 pounds of strength, which is the strongest material in the world! Kevlar can be five through fifteen times stronger than steel, depending on the form of the product. Kevlar is also in body armor, meaning it is saving lives. This is definitely a very important composite (New Necessities). There are three types of Kevlar: rubber industry use, Kevlar 29, and Kevlar 49 (Sci. & Inv. Enc., 1352). The rubber industry uses Kevlar for reinforcement. When Kevlar was first produced in 1972, it was ... and water; making it rot and rust resistant. Compared to steel and concrete, Kevlar 49's psi (pressure per square inch) is 525,000, steel's is 36,000, and concrete's is 3,000 (New Necessities). The blast suppression, or body armor, is strong enough to endure machine gun fire (up to .3 caliber), land mines, terroristic weapons, and a chainsaw (New Necessities). It does not melt, can stand ...
- 4802: 1984 3
- ... that isn't necessary. This novel is also a critique of various political systems, such as Italian Fascist, Hitler s Nazi, and particularly Russian Stalinist. It has lots of symbols representing the situation of the world at that time. Next, I will compare the methods of government and social control used in the story and the ones used in Italy, Russia, and Germany. First symbol is Big Brother, an organization running ... of Truth it is not only possible to change written facts, but also facts that are remembered by the people. So complete control of the country and it's citizens is provided. In the real world itself, The Nazi Party had already faked the history. They told the Germans that German Knights believed in the principles of National. This was done to make the citizens support the Nazi party. Other symbol ... place where Big Brother tortures the prisoners. Orwell draw this symbols due to the fact that all of totalitarianism government uses torture as a method in investigating their prisoners, but then, all governments in the world use one, even until now. Suspects in Russia were intimidated and tortured by brutal prosecutors, and condemn to death or imprisonment. Germany had concentration camps for all the Jews. While Italy had the squadristi ...
- 4803: Agression In Males
- ... actions will appear. Freud wrote a book on hysteria that explains the theory that "every hysteria is the result of a traumatic experience, one that cannot be integrated into the person's understanding of the world. The emotions appropriate to the trauma are not expressed in any direct fashion, but they do not simply go away. They express themselves in behaviors that in a vague way give a reaction the trauma ... is telling Charles to "Kill". His ego takes care of this by killing the first woman he sees (object). However, as the ego struggles to keep the id happy, it meets with obstacles in the world. It occasionally meets with objects that actually assist it in attaining its goals. In particular, it keeps track of the rewards and punishments given out by two of the most influential objects in the world of the child, it's mother and father. This record of things to avoid and strategies to take becomes the superego. It is usually not completed until seven years of age. In Charles' case ...
- 4804: Mob Involvement With Prohibition
- Mob Involvement with Prohibition In 1917 Congress passed the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution which prohibited the export, import, manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States. This new law is believed to have had the greatest effect on the twenties creating a feeling of rebellion and wild behavior. Many people thought this law violated there right to live by their own standards and ... time. The Volstead Act passed by Congress set up penalties to all violators of the Eighteenth Amendment. Prohibition is one of the best things ever done by the United States Government. It single-handedly created new business opportunities and brought people together like never before. It had also created a booming new industry, and created a new way of life for many people. Unfortunately, none of these things were good things. The new business opportunities were all in the organized crime realm. With the banning of ...
- 4805: Religion & Evolution
- ... cannot yet ascertain what was before this beginning, but we now know that there was one. To suggest that the universe has always existed is a mere myth today. Much like the myth that the world was once flat. Today, we take for granted that the world is indeed round, for have we not seen pictures from the space shuttle in orbit of the earth. Not to mention the multitude of orbital shots from satellites. Consequently we would consider it preposterous if someone attempted to tell us that the world is a flat surface. Yet, upon blind faith, some are content to believe that a "creative hand" structured this existence. Although the figures (Gods) differ from mythos to mythos, all the ancient stories intend ...
- 4806: J.P. Morgan
- ... banks agreed to establish a $10 million fund to bolster the ailing Trust Company of America ending the epidemic. Soon after, Treasury Secretary George Cortelyou agreed to deposit $25 million of government cash into selected New York City banks, to be used to bolster the troubled trust companies and banks (Gross 67). Despite these measures, many poorly capitalized institutions were still on the edge of disaster. Because of this, Morgan convinced the trust company presidents into subscribing to a $25 million loan for the trusts (Gross 70). His actions convinced the financial world of the critical need for a central government agency, the Federal Reserve System, that would provide stability for the modern banking system and financial markets. Since the services of bankers were used most by the railroads, Morgan quickly got involved with them. In 1879 William H. Vanderbilt wanted to get rid of 150,000 shares of New York Central stock. Morgan carried out the transaction so successfully and secretively that when news of it broke, the financial community was greatly impressed, transforming Morgan into a leading financier (Boardman 121). Just as ...
- 4807: A Short History On Computers
- ... computers were slow, usually processing 50 - 220 cards per minute, each card holding about 80 decimal numbers (characters). At the time, however, punched cards were a huge step forward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Digital Computers The start of World War II produced a large need for computer capacity, especially for the military. In 1942, John P. Eckert, John W. Mauchly (left), and their associates at the Moore school of Electrical Engineering of University of ... simple, fixed physical structure, and yet be able to execute any kind of computation by means of a proper programmed control without the need for any change in the unit itself. Von Neumann contributed a new awareness of how practical, yet fast computers should be organized and built. These ideas, usually referred to as the stored - program technique, became essential for future generations of high - speed digital computers and were universally ... fast but unreliable hardware to an image of relatively high reliability and even more capability. These discoveries were the magnetic core memory and the Transistor - Circuit Element. These technical discoveries quickly found their way into new models of digital computers. RAM capacities increased from 8,000 to 64,000 words in commercially available machines by the 1960's, with access times of 2 to 3 MS (Milliseconds). Magnetic drums, magnetic - ...
- 4808: Drumlin Formation By Catastrophic Flooding
- ... the extent of the areas affected by the proposed catastrophic floods. The Livingstone Lake drumlin field in Saskatchewan, where some very striking examples of streamlining occur, was the type region for the development of the new theory [Shaw et al., 1984]. The sheet flood flows proposed for this area by Shaw et al were about 150 km wide, and the total volume of the meltwater reservoir was estimated as about 84,000 km3. The subglacial flood hypothesis for drumlin origin has been applied to drumlins in New York, southern Ontario, the northeast shore of Georgian Bay in Ontario, and to the interpretation of hummocky terrain in southern Alberta, and other areas, by various workers. Shaw suggested as many as 10 meltwater discharges ... effects we observe. But the subglacial meltwater environment seems too limited in scope, and unsuited for explaining the excavation of rock basins of lakes such as the lower Great Lakes, and the Finger Lakes of New York, and the many other large lakes along the border of the Canadian Shield in Canada. Whereas the drumlins occur on high plateau in western New York, and other drumlinized areas, these are incised ...
- 4809: Roswell
- For fifty years the unexplained air craft wreckage found outside Roswell, New Mexico, has been in the center of on-going speculation about alien life forms and US Government and Military cover-ups. It is my personal belief that extraterrestrial bodies are present in this Universe and ... there are aliens present in the universe as proved in this essay. Retired military officials will admit to there being extraterrestrials being present on earth. An excellent example of this is what happened in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. When the US Government and Military first found the wreckage of an unidentified aircraft they issued a press release stating that they had come into possession of an Unidentified Flying Object. The ... other life in the Universe and that the crash landing at Roswell in 1947, was an alien space craft and not a weather balloon. Leading up to the 'Roswell Incident' UFOs were spotted all over New Mexico and the mid-western coast line. On July 1 of 1947, an Unidentified Flying Object appeared on the radar screens of surrounding airforce bases. People also saw these objects in the skies that ...
- 4810: Taoism
- ... to the whole human race. The Tao is one of the most ancient religious concepts of the Chinese culture. This concept has influenced many religions, such as Buddhism, and Confucianism, two major religions in the world (Hume 150). The religion Taoism preaches that if people lived naturally, did things naturally, and lived life by the Tao, they would be free of evil (Wolcott 77). This belief soon influenced many people to follow the life of wu wei, the Ying and the Yang (Smith 207). Taoisms philosophical ideas were accepted by people all over the world and soon many people were giving offerings to Taoist temples, and believing in the purity and of the peacefulness of the Tao (Wolcott 77). Taoism was slowly, but surely, starting to rise to be one ... universe. The Yin and the Yang are always opposite of each other. If one side is either less or more than the other, the balance of the universe is corrupted and terrible things in the world will happen. These beliefs preach that an individual should always keep the balance in the universe well and adjusted and not corrupt it in any way. These concepts relate to the Tao because the ...
