Audrey Swartz Communications January 26‚ 2015 For this assignment I chose to watch “The Big Bang Theory”. In the beginning of the episode‚ the two girls wanted to do an activity that the two boy characters hated. This was intended to get back at them for always making the girls do activities that the boys wanted to do. This is considered and interpersonal conflict. According to conflict researchers William Wilmot and Joyce Hocker (2013)‚ there

Humans have always had a fascination with flying since the beginning of time. Hot air balloons were invented in 1783‚ one step closer to the airplane. The balloon is filled with hot air‚ which makes the balloon fly to the air because hot air is lighter than cool air. The only problem with the hot air balloon was that you could not control the direction it was going. The first airplane was actually a glider. This aircraft was launched from a cliff or from any high place. It rode on the wind

Accordingly‚ we removed definitions in line 193-194. 5. Line 175. ’As a consequence‚ later breakups were initiated at higher latitudes...’ As a consequence of what? Why should later breakups initiate at higher latitudes? Reply: We replaced “As a consequence” by “In other words” in line 184. 6. Line 246-248. ’These flows were simultaneous with a further auroral activation at 0231 UT near 68.7 MLAT.’ Were the flows observed around 0226 UT by TH4 and TH5 also simultaneous with the further auroral

1.0 Introduction The Hubble Space Telescope was created by and named after astronomer Edwin P. Hubble. He was known for his creation of Hubble’s Law which is used to calculate the rate at which the universe is expanding. He is also known for his discovery of the galaxies that are outside the Milky Way. The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope that is placed in orbit around the earth. Scientists have figured out that by placing a telescope in space‚ putting it outside of earth’s atmosphere

About how many extrasolar planets have been detected to date? a) 1-10 b) 10-100 c) 100-500 d) 500-1000 e) >1000 What is the easiest way to find planets? a) directly imaging the planet b) seeing the planet "transit" in front of its parent star (will be more prevalent in the future; satellites right now are looking for this) c) measuring the doppler shift of a star’s spectrum lines (gravitational wobble on star) d) X-ray observations Most of the planets discovered around other stars

Physics & Theory • SETI o The Allen Telescope Array - The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is a LNSD‚ also known as a “Large number of small dishes” array and is a new piece of technology to radio astronomy. What is different about it is that it is not one big dish‚ but a series of smaller dishes combined to make one larger one. - The ATA is highly effective and much cheaper for SETI to conduct more than one survey at once in the search of extra-terrestrials. - The ATA detects radio waves that can be

1. This gentleman (shown in Pic 1) was famous as an astronomer‚ astrologer‚ and alchemist during his lifetime. In his 1573 book De nova stella‚ his precise measurements indicated that the ‘new stars’‚ (now known as supernovae) lacked the parallax expected in sub-lunar phenomena. After his death‚ his body has been exhumed twice (in 1901 and in 2010)‚ in order to examine the circumstances of his death. This was also done to verify what material his artificial nose was made of. The result was that his

Myriads of mysteries blanket this universe‚ some have been given an answer‚ but others still lie still waiting for one. One mystery was "How was earth formed?" for ages the explanation of earths creation was obscure. There are hundreds of stories depicting he creation of this world we inhabit‚ but there was never something finite . From tales and myths to logic and science it is clear different cultures and people have varying views on how the universe was sculpted. The Norse and Greek were one of

Media plays an important role in society; it provides people with daily current events‚ entertainment‚ the way people are supposed to look or act‚ and most of all society’s perception of gender. Throughout the 20th century‚ much of children’s understanding of the world has become inaccurate; most of their knowledge has come through the media. However‚ little do they know is that most of the time media portrays human beings differently then they are in reality. Gender roles are cultural and personal

Do Rules Contribute to a Persons Happiness? Rules and regulations. The two words which every child and even many adults hate to hear. When thinking of ‘rules’ we think of something which stands in the way of our doing something we may want to. We immediately curse the rule‚ not thinking in what way it may be helping us. We fervently wish that it never existed‚ without really being able to comprehend what the world would be like without that rule. What we‚ as humans‚ fail to understand‚ is that rules
