Some useful alloys that are useful are aluminum bronze, alnico, and aluminum alloy, ect. Aluminum is strongly electropositive and extremely reactive. In contact with air, aluminum instantly ...
- 2342: A Consise History Of Germany
- ... the church was Latin, but Franks in Gaul adopted the Latinate vernacular that became French, and Franks and other Germanic tribes in the east spoke various languages that became German. The only relic of Old High German is the Hildebrandslied ("Lay of Hildebrand"), a fragmentary 8th-century poem, based on early pagan heroic tales, about the tragic duel between a father and son. Carolingian rulers encouraged missionary work among the Germans ... in the new bishopric of Bamberg. Salian Kings For 100 years (1024-1125) German kings were chosen from the Salian line, which was related to the Saxons. The Salians brought the empire to its height. High Tide of Empire Conrad II, a clever and ruthless ruler, reasserted royal authority over princely opposition by making the fiefs of lesser nobles hereditary and by appointing ministerials, lower-class men responsible directly to him ... such as Reichenau, Regensburg, Fulda, Echternach, and Saint Gall became centers of scholarship. Monks wrote Latin works (such as the Walthariuslied, based on a German legend) and translated biblical and other Christian texts into Old High German. Their illuminated manuscripts with flat, dignified images imitated the art of classical antiquity and Byzantium. Churches, notably Saint Michael at Hildesheim and the cathedrals of Mainz, Speyer, and Worms, were massive, stone-vaulted ...
- 2343: Lord Byron
- ... been presented to the Byron’s by Henry VIII, and he and his mother li d in the run down estate for a while. While in England growing up his was sent to a private school in Nottingham, where his clubfoot was doctored by a quack named Lavender. He suffered abuse while there, from both the painful tortures of Dr. Lavender d the unnatural affection of the school nurse by the name of May Grey. He was subjected to mistreatment by her through drunkenness, beatings, neglect, and sexual liberties. This abuse was not stopped early enough to protect the boy from the psychologi ... ArcadiaWeb/Byron) Byron’s mother had a bad temper that he was constantly being exposed to as well. John Hanson, Mrs. Byron’s attorney, rescued him from the unna ral affections of May Grey the school nurse, the tortures of Lavender, and the uneven temper of his mother. John Hanson then took him to London, where a reputable doctor prescribed a special brace. That next autumn of 1799 Hanson entered ...
- 2344: Bureaucracy and Modern Organizations
- Bureaucracy and Modern Organizations Discuss whether the notion of bureaucracy is still applicable when trying to understand modern organizations Bureaucratic hierarchy-centralised, high levels of work supervision, high specialization of work and division of labour, common in large organizations Advantages:-control (highly organized) -over production -profit -cheaper training (easily identifiable skill) Disadvantages:-loss of freedom -uncreative -deskilling -limits opportunities -inflexibility Bureaucracy can be ... of strict and impersonal rules. Its permanence and stability, its body of experience and precedent, and its absence of a reliance on individuals mostly characterize it. Bureaucracies have during the years been criticized for their high level of control and impersonal relations with its workers. –high levels of labour turnover and absenteeism Modern business environment is increasingly competitive. More competitive companies in the market place has meant that firms have ...
- 2345: Pulmonary Agents
- ... OF TOXICITY Phosgene is only slightly soluble in water and aqueous solutions. However, once dissolved it rapidly hydrolyzes to form carbon dioxide and hydrochloric acid. The early-onset ocular, nasal, and central airway irritation from high concentrations of phosgene is caused by hydrochloric acid released during phosgene hydrolysis; however, the carbonyl group (C=O) readily participates in acylation reactions with amino (-NH2), hydroxyl (-OH), or sulfhydryl (-SH) groups and these reactions ... at first is unaccompanied by objectively verifiable signs of pulmonary damage but that may progress relentlessly to pulmonary edema and death. During the time preceding the appearance of shortness of breath, individuals exposed to particularly high concentrations of organohalides may report symptoms associated with mucous membrane irritation. Exposure to large quantities of phosgene may irritate moist mucous membranes, presumably because of the generation of hydrochloric acid from the hydrolysis of phosgene ... low Ct exposure or may follow the transient irritation associated with substantial phosgene exposure. This asymptomatic period may persist up to 24 hours after organohalide inhalation. The duration of this latent period is shorter following high Ct's and is shortened by physical exertion following exposure. The most prominent symptom following the clinical latent period is dyspnea, perceived as shortness of breath with or without chest tightness. These sensations reflect ...
- 2346: History of the Propeller
- ... blade propellers, inversely tapered and squared at the tips 5 ½ ft wide, were made of American Pine, planed smooth, covered with glued canvas and stayed to the propeller shafts with steel wire to handle the high thrust loads. These massive propellers produced 1,100lbs of thrust each during full power while rotating at 425rpm. Maxim’s jumbo creation didn’t last long however, it jumped the test track and suffered extensive ... the propeller one of the Wright brothers most challenging problems. Despite the lack of previous information to consult, the brothers were able to learn, through investigation and trial/error, that large propeller diameters would produce high thrust for a given power input. The brothers also determined that high torque produced by large, slow turning blades adversely affected the flying qualities (p-factor). On their first aircraft, they utilized 8 ½ ft propellers installed behind the wind to minimize airflow disturbance, incorporated counter-rotating ...

- ... stages: 1)Air is sucked into the intake and compressed in stages by turbine blades that spin 3/1000ths of an inch from each other. 4-6 stage compression. 2)Compressed air is injected with high explosive jet fuel and moves into the combustion chamber 3)Air fuel mix is incinerated and the resulting superheated gases move into a second set of fan blades. 4)Here the hot gasses (1800-2500 ... stage's effectiveness. 5)The gasses then move into an optional augmentor (more commonly known as an afterburner) where raw jet fuel is forced into a second combustion chamber and is burned immediately due to high temperatures. 6)Gasses escape from an exhaust nozzle and provide thrust. The turboprop and turbojet engines follow the same principles as the turbofan but with a few variations. The turboprop is simply a turbofan with ... compressors, and generators. A new experiment in propulsion is the ramjet. The ramjet is in principle one of the simplest possible flight propulsion units. It is essentially a duct open at front and rear. At high speed in flight, air is rammed into the front of the duct, whose shape immediately reduces the air's speed, compressing and heating it. In a combustion chamber, fuel is injected into the airstream, ...
- 2348: Effects of TV on Children
- Effects of TV on Children Sitting in school, a schoolchild sits anxiously watching the clock. The teacher is talking to the class, but the child just can’t wait to get home. When the bell finally rings, they run out of the classroom ... By sitting down and watching TV for a couple hours, the child is entertained, but is also not thinking. Information in spoon-fed to them, so when it comes time to read a book in school, some can have a hard time grasping ideas. They are so used to having images flash before them to provide understanding; they have trouble moving their eyes side to side to gather the information for ... has shown that teachers today are using many more multimedia devices to capture the students attention. Being so used to seeing information provided by the TV, they are more responsive to learning with it in school, and are more likely to remember it. Many links are showing up in studies between Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and watching too much television in elementary children. This disorder is becoming more common in ...
- 2349: A Thermodynamic Reading Of The
- ... If there were no differences in density, and only random motion, there would be no image to project. Pynchon foreshadows Oedipa's fate through the degradation of thermodynamic entropy. Mechanical energy is an example of high-grade energy and heat is an example of low-grade energy. Thus, as entropy increases, negentropy degrades into heat, which is "a form of energy arising from randomly moving molecules" (OED). When a closed system ... 85) As Brillouin concludes, "every type of experiment represents a transformation of negentropy into information" (Brillouin, 12). For the demon to separate gas molecules, he must be able to see them, so he expends a high negentropy, radiation or light, to see the molecules’ varying densities. However, the quantity of negentropy produced from this information overcompensates for the loss in the first step. According to Nefastis' explanation, the "sensitive" does all ... 87). She cannot see that the connection Nefastis derives is more than the objective coincidence of the two equations. She tried for many minutes, "waiting for the demon to communicate" amongst the noise from the "high-pitched, comic voices issued from the TV set," but she only perceives a "misfired nerve cell" (Pynchon, 85 - 86). The unheard message is like "a hieroglyphic sense of concealed meaning, of an intent to ...
- 2350: New Research Indicates That Drug Therapy Is More
- ... form of treatment for individuals suffering from schizophrenia involves family therapy. Individuals who have been institutionalized for schizophrenia are often released back into their family homes. However, evidence has found that if these families show high levels of expressed emotions such as; hostility, hypercritical comments and overprotective behaviour, the chances of relapse and re-hospitalization are high (Davison & Neale, 1998). Therefore, family therapy focuses on reducing the level of expressed emotions in the family through cognitive and behaviour therapy. As well, family members are taught to lower their expectations for the member ... nerve tract, descending from the brain to the spinal neurons. The symptoms resembled those of neurological diseases such as Parkinson s Disease (Davison & Neal, 1998; Advokat et al., 1999). For this reason there was a high non-compliance rate, with half of all patients quitting after the first year and three-quarters ceasing the medications after two years (Davison & Neale, 1998). Additionally, thirty percent of schizophrenia patients who were prescribed ...
