- 24191: Cryogenics And The Future
- ... that the "temperature of a fluid is reduced in a process involving expansion below a certain temperature and pressure"(McClintock 4). After Cailletet and Pictet, a third method, known as cascading, was developed by Karol S. Olszewski and Zygmut von Wroblewski in Poland. At this point in history Oxygen was now able to be liquefied at 90 K, then soon after liquid Nitrogen was obtained at 77 K, and because of ... discovered when Onnes and one of his graduate students realized that Mercury loses all of its electrical resistance when it reaches a temperature of 4.15 K. However, almost all elements and compounds have Tc's between 1 K and 15 K (or -457.68 (F and -432.67 (F) so they would not be very useful to us on a day to day basis[McClintock 208-226]. Then in 1986 ... extraordinary advances. Some applications are demonstrated by magnetically levitated trains, energy storage, motors, and Zero-Loss Transmission Lines. Also, superconducting electromagnets are used in Particle Accelerators, Fusion Energy Plants, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging devices (MRI's) in Hospitals. Furthermore high-speed cryogenic computer memories and communication devices are in various stages of research. This field has grown immensely since 1986 as you can see and will probably keep growing. The ...
- 24192: "A Dream Within A Dream"
- "A Dream Within A Dream" If ever a poet's life influenced his writing ,Edgar Allan Poe did. Poe's personal emotions were evident in all of his writings but no more so than in the poem, "A Dream Within a Dream."

- 24193: Phoolan Devi: Perceptions of Power
- ... striking characteristics of Phoolan Devi is her refusal to accept her power-deficient positions in her relationships. From the time that she was a child, she seems to have refused to conform to her society's hierarchical indexing. She resisted attempts to categorize and fix her into typical gender, class, and matrimonial positions. This is not to say that her resistance was always successful, but I am trying to show a ... power forced on her helped undermine that same power. This is the one factor that makes Phoolan so different from so many of her Indian sisters that are still living under the thumb of Manu's Code. Does Phoolan Devi possess real power? So far we have considered theoretical power in relationships, but what about physical manifestations of power? The first example that comes to mind is the fact that over ... I do an Internet search on her name. Photographs, newspaper reviews, magazine articles, newsgroup posts, all proving her power to reach out across the planet and touch people or infuriate them, depending on an individual's personal philosophies. Through her story many have become more conscious of the plight of her caste and gender in modern India. She has the power to inspire and inform. I have read on the ...
- 24194: Poem: The Fate of Hamlet
- ... Betrayed by kinship and rebuked, Resentment toward his mother the queen, Stemmed from him trying to be redeemed. Many tiring sleepless nights, Caused Hamlet much pain and fright. When ghost revealed truths of his father’s death, Hamlet vowed to take Claudius’s last breath. In the turmoil of all this. His true affection for Ophelia found no bliss. He could never share his thoughts, Revenge made him overwrought. All this pain caused him to plot, He made the plan to end his lot. But this scheme avenging death, Took also Hamlet’s last breath. Hamlet should have taken heed, And become king indeed. He never had a chance in Shakespheare’s plan, A tragic hero, just another great dead man.
- 24195: Memory Debate For Psychology
- The Memory Debate The debate over the reliability of memory has been going on before psychotherapy even started. I would like to first began by explaining how a human being's memory works, memory is an information process, somewhat like a computer information-processing system. We use encoding, which is getting information into our brain, we retain that information like storage, and get the information back ... a computer we store a great deal of information in what is called our long-term memory, the memories stored in our long-term memory are however not as literal and rather fragile. A human's long-term memory has a relatively permanent and limitless storehouse. Humans also have short-term memory, which is activated memory that only holds a few items briefly, things such as the seven digits of a ... no one can be absolutely sure whether or not a memory is real because unreal memories feel as real as true memories. False Memory Syndrome is defined as a disruptive condition in which a person's identity and relationships center around a false but strongly believed memory of a traumatic experience. The person resists disconfirming information and may become focused on the memory as a way to avoid confronting the ...
- 24196: Job - Character Analysis
- ... bad. Job was a man who God had allowed to obtain riches and fame. He had all of the finer things in life. Satan knew this, and wanted to bring sorrow and pain into Job’s life for the main purpose of showing God that these were the reasons Job was so faithful. Satan was wrong as always. Job understood that it is the Lord that gives and takes away, for ... his completely undeserved suffering, his steadfastness in faith, and his complete submission to God, Job received the honor of becoming a chief figure in the Bible (Psalm 23, Hebrews 12:11, James 5:11). God’s ways are often beyond our understanding because we view the issues of life from a limited earthly perspective. God’s viewpoint is from above, he sees all things from the standpoint of eternity. We must simply trust him even when we cannot understand what he is doing. Whenever we do not understand why God ...
- 24197: Elizabeth Bishop and Her Poem "Filling Station"
- Elizabeth Bishop and Her Poem "Filling Station" Elizabeth Bishop's skill as a poet can be clearly seen in the thought- provoking poem entitled Filling Station. She paints the different language levels of poetry with the skill of an artist-- she seems to have an ... pleasant atmosphere. Bishop aptly arranges her words and expressions through the language devices of voice and metaphor. In Filling Station, Bishop uses tone of voice brilliantly, through the use of phonetics, to create the poem's initial atmosphere. The opening seems to be offering a straightforward description of the filling station: "Oh, but it is dirty!/ -this little filling station,/ oil-soaked, oil-permeated/ to a disturbing, over-all/ black translucency ... does not want the reader to forget that they are in the harsh conditions of the filling station, hence the jarring [k] sound, yet the meaning of the words suggest a kind, comfortable atmosphere. Bishop's attention to the sense of sound throughout the poem aids with the metaphoric meaning of the poem as a whole. At a very simplistic level, the poem begins with the setting of a filthy ...
- 24198: Root
- ... of the women singing Toubob fa! And when he had finally been chained back down in his place in the dark hold, his heart throbbed with a lust to murder toubob." This sentence implied Kunta's insult, and in Kunta's mind, the white men were like devils. Next, Haley used "growing in volume and intensity" instead of "growing louder and louder" because the prisoners feared the white men would know they could communicate with each other. In addition, the prisoners were excited that they knew more than one tongue. They communicated with each other without white men's language. Therefore, Haley used "growing in volume and intensity" to describe the emotion and excitement of the prisoners' communication instead of just noise, "growing louder and louder." Haley used "communicate" instead of the more ...
- 24199: Orientalism And Colonialism
- ... wanted to invade the territory, strip it of all its history and rebuild its past in the manner the Europeans saw fit. This is a very wise move in the tactics to strengthen the West's cause. Not only does wreck the morale of the invaded country's inhabitants, but it sends a loud and clear message that the history is insignificant and inferior to western history. Deporting of local treasures, deleting historic records and documents and defacing historic structures intended locals to ... land. In addition, once a new culture is introduced to one generation, the possibility of successful reinstatement of the past culture is nill. In my opinion, the entire destruction of the majority of the world's nations was caused by Western influence. Before European intervention, ways of life were individualistic. In fact, the third world as we know it would not have been so if they were simply left alone. ...
- 24200: Origin Of Heiroglyphics
- ... central government and bureaucracy developed to manage and control this effort. Eventually, this bureaucracy, including the king, the upper-class, and the ever powerful priests in charge, became a huge, rigid network that managed everyone’s life. By 3100 b.c., when the Sumerians had invented their picture writing, it had become impossible to run that network without an accurate record-keeping system (Warburton, 74). For a long time before then ... had been invented by their god of learning, Thoth, so they called it “words of the gods” (Warburton, 70). And since written words came from the gods, they had magical powers. By carving a person’s name on a tomb or monument, the Egyptians believed that they were helping to keep that person alive if they had passed on. Similarly, by erasing a person’s name from the inscriptions would make the person disappear. Words were so powerful that putting a written list of objects in a tomb was the same as putting the objects in themselves. Since the ...
