...Ariel Johnson Art of Theatre Play review Almost Maine I will be writing my play review on Almost Maine, A story about many different love stories and characters that go through many obstacles and challenges when trying to find love. I will get into my analysis of the actors in da play and how they grabbed my attention. In the beginning of the segment there were two characters, male and female who were sitting on the floor during a cold snowy Friday night; in the middle of winter. Due to the effects that there was white powder that surrounded the area and the actors were shivering and wearing heavy clothing. Throughout the segment, they both wore scarfs, hats and jackets. The actors used the empty spaces as the lines were spoken. Later on in other segments the use of props were of special value. For example in one scene characters used clay making of a shaped cartoon heart to indicate a broken heart. A Glass bottle was used as a beer bottle full of beer although it contained no liquid at all. The use of unseen spaces were very active throughout the play the knocks behind the stage were of somebody knocking on the door and the curtains displayed as a door in almost every scene. One scene in particular changed the way the curtains this time they weren’t used as a door they were used as sets of people in a party in which a hostess could be called just by the sound of a holler. The play itself used a lot of space on the stage. Each scene involved a new space that included some...

...Fritidsresor Under Pressure Savannah M. Russell Clemson University Abstract On December 26, 2004, Southeast Asia suffered from a tsunami that took a major toll on the management team of a Swedish tour company. This unforeseen devastation affected the lives and safety of thousands of the company’s customers as well as employees in Thailand. With all the hesitation and vagueness the management team dealt with, within those first 10 hours it became very clear that the team would have to make extremely demanding decisions. These conclusions would coordinate the responses to the media as well as concerned customers. As administration faces struggles of their own within the company they must now come to together as one to face situations that reality has hit them hard with. Keywords: Disaster, Evacuation, Thailand, Tsunami Defining the Issue(s) When a nature disaster hit Southeast Asia in 2004 it did not just impact the land; it also traumatized thousands of people in and out of the Fritidsresor Company. A Swedish tourism company was enormously effected by the tsunami; to make matters worse the tsunami hit over the holidays so several employees were away from the office and unable to help. Not only were the company’s tourists at risk but their employees were as well. While the company is battling this difficult situation externally, they are also battling internal issues as well. The CEO has only been with the company for a little over a year and is having a...

High working memory and low working memory responses to high and low levels of pressure, she conducted an experiment research to demonstrate how worrying limited memory capacity. High pressure conditions lead to low performance and low pressure conditions leads to high performance, demonstrating that individuals with best working memory were more likely to choke under pressure and subjects with low working memory were not effected...

...Why are fragile environments such as the Arctic and ANWR coming under increasing pressure for fossil fuel exploration? Recently, with oil prices on the rise and oil reserves on decline, fragile environments such as the Arctic and ANWR are coming under increasing pressure to develop their unexploited resources. It is said that Arctic region holds 25% of the world’s unexploited oil and gas reserves this accounts to around the same amount as Saudi Arabia’s gas and oil richness. They are under increasing pressure due to the high demand for fossil fuels, especially in MEDC’s and NIC’s who are not focusing on renewable sources, but instead continuing to rely on oil and gas, in order to focus on development. In fact they should be thinking about alternative energy supplies for the future when oil and gas reserves do eventually dry out. The USA is all for developing the Arctic because the want to have autonomy over their own supply and it will also reduce reliance on foreign exports thereby lowering the amount they spend on oil. Also Russia is in agreement that the Arctic should be exploited for oil and gas because they believe they have rights to that land, and feel the oil would help companies like Gazprom to thrive. One of the reasons the Arctic is coming under increasing pressure to exploit its reserves is because of the shrinking ice caps. As the map below shows ice capacity is rapidly declining meaning that oil reserves are easier to access making it cheaper to locate and extract...

Naufal Khan and Johnson Sikes More and more executives are acknowledging the strategic value of IT to their businesses beyond merely cutting costs. But as they focus on and invest in the function’s ability to enable productivity, business efficiency, and product and service innovation, respondents are also homing in on the shortcomings many IT organizations suffer. Among the effectiveness more harshly than their business counterparts do. Compared with executives from the business side, they are more than twice as likely to suggest replacing IT management as the best remedy. Evolving priorities Comparing the 2013 responses with the previous two surveys, the data indicate notable changes in organizations’ current priorities for IT. Concerns about managing costs are down, while larger shares of executives now say their organizations are using IT to improve business effectiveness and information availability (Exhibit 1). Respondents cite these same objectives most often as ideal priorities, suggesting that companies are getting better at aligning their actual 1The online survey was in most substantial challenges are demonstrating effective leadership and...

How many have lost their livelihood and feel zombie-like when it comes to their faith? How many of you feel as if God has forgotten you? Well I come to encourage & let you know that you are not alone, but it feels as if the walls are closing in from every side making it difficult to know if God even knows your name. One thing you must remember is that the enemy will attack when you are most vulnerable, and it's not that God doesn't see or hear you in distress, but it's a similar concept that was exhibited in the movie "Ray" (based on the life of legendary music great Ray Charles); as a young boy Ray was trying to cope with the fact that he had completely lost his sight and was declared legally blind. He was running though the house and tripped, as much as he cried out & yelled for his mother's help [and as reluctant as she was] she chose not to wrap her baby in her loving arms, she realized that if she continued to rescue him immediately everytime he got into a troublesome situation he would never learn the lessons she needed him to. When he sensed she wasn't coming he began to listen to his surroundings to guide himself along the way. Well, similarly, we may walk...

...ISSUES: SLIDING OR CONSTANT PRESSURE The future generation of SC and USC plants in the US must be able to achieve high efficiencies not only in continuous base-load operation but also at part-load operation. The conventional approach suggests that, in the US, the new generation of SC and USC plants will operate, for the most part, at base-load conditions and constant steam pressure. However, for a plant with a life span of 30–40 years, it is inevitable that in the future these units will operate in load-cycling operation using sliding pressure. Operation under constant pressure requires steady boiler and main steam line pressure over the entire load range. At part load, the steam turbine requires a lower pressure and flow to generate the amount of power needed. The operational system where the boiler provides only the required amount of steam and pressure to meet the demand without any throttling, is referred to as “sliding pressure.” Most steam generators and turbines in combined cycle applications operate in this mode. For SC and USC, the sliding pressure method used in the industry (see Reference 14) is known as “modified sliding pressure.” In this case, a certain amount of pressure throttling is allowed, to provide a fast response to load changes. One advantage of the “constant pressure” mode of operation is a more robust load reserve capability at part load. Following a load increase demand, the throttling or admissions valves open and the pressures in the turbine and boiler...

...frictionless piston-cylinder device initially contains 200 L of saturated liquid refrigerant-134a. The piston is free to move, and its mass is such that it maintains a pressure of 900 kPa on the refrigerant. The refrigerant is now heated until its temperature rises to 70oC. Calculate the work done during this process. The freely-moving piston can be interpreted as giving a constant pressure process such that P1 = P2 = P = 900 kPa. For a constant pressure process, the concept that the work is the area under the path is particularly simple. That area is a rectangle whose area is P (V2 – V1). We know that P is 900 kPa, and the initial volume is 200 L = 0.2 m3, but we have to find the final volume. Because this is a constant pressure process, the final pressure equals the initial pressure of 900 kPa (0.9 MPa) and we are given that the final state has a temperature of 70oC. From the superheat tables for refrigerant-134a in Table A-13 on page 930, we find that the specific volume at this temperature and pressure is 0.027413 m3/kg. In order to find the volume (V in m3 as opposed to the specific volume, v, from the property tables in m3/kg), we have to know the mass. We can find the mass from the initial volume and the value of the specific volume at the initial state of saturated liquid at 900 kPa. At this pressure, we use the saturation table, A-12, on page 928, to find the specific volume of the saturated liquid, vf = 0.0008580 m3/kg at 900 kPa. We can then find the mass as...

...SIMPLE SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS HANS JURGEN PRESS 1. Astronomy Image of the Sun Place a pair of binoculars in an open window in the direct path of the sun’s rays. Stand a mirror in front of one eyepiece so that it throws an image of the sun on to the opposite wall of the room. Adjust the mirror until the image is sharp, and darken the room. You would risk damaging your eyes if you looked directly at the sun through binoculars, but you can view the bright disc on the wall as large and clear as in the movies. Clouds and birds passing over can also be distinguished and. if the binoculars are good even sunspots. These are a few hot areas on the glowing sphere, some so big that many terrestrial globes could fit into them. Because of the earth’s rotation, the sun’s image moves quite quickly across the wall. Do not forget to re-align the binoculars from time to time onto the sun. The moon and stars cannot be observed in this way because the light coming from them is too weak. 2. Sun clock Place a flowerpot with a long stick fixed into the hole at the bottom in a spot, which is sunny, all day. The stick’s shadow moves along the rim of the pot as the sun moves. Each hour by the clock mark the position of the shadow on the pot. If the sun is shining, you can read off the time. Because of the rotation of the earth the sun apparently passes over us in a semi-circle. In the morning and evening its shadow strikes the pot superficially, while; it midday, around 12 o’clock...

...is a gas law which combines Charles's law, Boyle's law, and Gay-Lussac's law. This law states: “The ratio between the pressure-volume product divided by the temperature of a system remains constant.” This can be stated mathematically as:  Where: p is the pressure, V is the volume, T is the temperature measured in kelvins, and k is a constant (with units of energy divided by temperature). Reminder: 1atm= 760 torr = 101.3 kPa & Celsius to Kelvin= add 273 and Kelvin to Celsius= subtract 273 For comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions, the law can be written as:  If the problem does not state which unit to give the result in, then make sure that temperature is converted into Kelvin and for the Pressure and Volume just make sure you stay constant and use the same unit on both sides of the equation. Combination of 3 Laws: Boyle's Law states that the pressure-volume product is constant:  In other words as external pressure on a gas increases the volume decreases, and vice versa. Charles's Law shows that the volume is proportional to absolute temperature:  In other words as temperature increases the volume increases, and vice versa. Gay-Lussac's Law says that the pressure is proportional to the absolute temperature:  In other words as temperature increases the pressure increases, and vice versa. Where P is the pressure, V the volume and T the absolute temperature and of an ideal gas. By combining (1) and either of (2) or (3) we can gain...

...CHM 1101 Introductory Chemistry Dawn Fox Medeba Uzzi August, 2007 Compiled and edited by Medeba Uzzi Authors’ Note This document is an initiative by the authors in an attempt to deal with what they think may be one of the reasons contributing to the relatively high failure rate in the introductory Chemistry course (CHM 1101) at the University of Guyana. It was brought to our attention that many first year students taking CHM 1101 are unable to efficiently cope with the frenetic pace of the Semester system and even less able to deal comprehensively with the large content in CHM 1101. It is hoped that by providing this paper, students will not need to make lots of notes in lectures and so they can focus on grasping the concepts taught. The document is meant to be a guide to the topics covered in CHM 1101 and is by no means exhaustive. Students are still required to attend classes regularly and punctually and to engage meaningfully in lectures and tutorials. Further, supplemental reading of these topics in any good General Chemistry text is expected. Dawn Fox Medeba Uzzi 2 SECTION 1 – Modules A – D: section deals with the foundation for chemistry.

...Paula Kain Undertake agreed pressure Area care (HSC2024) Unit 4222-229 Outcome 1 1) The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering and protecting the entire surface of the body. The total surface area of skin is around 3000 square inches or roughly around 19,355 square cm depending on age, height, and body size. The skin, along with its derivatives, nails, hair, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands forms the integumentary system. Besides providing protection to the body the skin has a host of other functions to be performed like regulating body temperature, immune protection, sensations of touch, heat, cold, and pain through the sensory nerve endings, communicating with external openings of numerous other body systems like digestive system, urogenital system, and respiratory system via mucous membranes. The skin is primarily composed of three layers. The skin, which appears to be so thin, is still itself divided into epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer or hypodermis. Each layer has its own function and own importance in maintaining the integrity of skin and thereby the whole body structure. Pressure sores or decubitus ulcers are the result of a constant deficiency of blood to the tissues over a bony area such as a heel which may have been in contact with a bed or a splint over an extended period of time. The surface of the skin can ulcerate which may become infected. Eventually subcutaneous and deeper tissues are damaged. Besides the heel, other areas commonly involved...

...California Institute of Technology Physics 77 Vacuum Techniques and Thin Film Deposition Experiment 3 (October 2001) 1 Introduction Much of modern experimental physics is done under vacuum. Design and construction of vacuum apparatus is one of the most useful ”bread and butter” skills an experimentalist in condensed matter, atomic, or optical physics can have, and the subject of vacuum engineering is a vast one. This lab serves as an introduction to basic vacuum techniques and thin film growth, another often essential skill for condensed matter physicists. This lab is an optional prerequisite for Experiment 10, Condensed Matter Physics at Cryogenic Temperatures, for which you can grow your own samples for Weak Localization measurements if you choose. 2 Pressure and gas flow In vacuum work, pressures are almost always measured in millimeters of mercury, or torr. One torr is just the pressure necessary to support a column of mercury with a height of one millimeter. The conversion to units more familiar to readers of physics textbooks is 1atmosphere = 101kPa = 760torr There are two pressure regimes of interest to the scientist working with vacuum systems, and gases behave differently in each regime. The first, the viscous flow regime, describes the case where gas flows as a fluid, where the mean free path of the gas molecules is much smaller than the dimensions of the apparatus. The second, the molecular flow regime, describes the high-vacuum case, where the mean...

...Boyle's Law Examples in Real Life Boyle's Law Explained In 1662, Robert Boyle discovered that when held at a constant temperature, the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportionate. Put simply, when the volume goes up, pressure drops, and vice versa. The mathematic equation is equally as simple: PV=K where P=Pressure, V=Volume, and K is simply a constant. This has become a basic principle in chemistry, now called "Boyle's law" and is included as a special case into the more general ideal gas law. Spray paint uses a real life application of Boyle's law to work its magic. Spray Paint While there are a couple different types of aerosol cans, one being a little more elaborate than the other, they both operate off of the same basic principle: Boyle's law. We'll examine the more elaborate of the two, since it's far more popular. We know that before you spray a can of paint you are supposed to shake it up for a while, listening as a ball bearing rattles around inside. There are two substances inside the can, one being your product (paint for example), and the other being a gas that can be pressurized so much that it retains a liquid state even when it is heated past its boiling point. This liquefied gas will be a substance that has a boiling point far below room temperature. The can is sealed, preventing this gas from boiling and turning into a gaseous state. That is, until you push down the nozzle. The moment the...
