Linear Thermal Expansion The term thermal expansion refers to the increase in size of an object as that object is heated. With relatively few exceptions‚ all objects expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Perhaps the most important exception to this rule is water. Water contracts as it cools from its boiling point to about 39.2°F (4°C). At that point‚ it begins to expand as it cools further to its freezing point. This unusual effect explains the fact that ice is less dense

In “The Chase” by Annie Dillard‚ the actual chase sequence is only six paragraphs long‚ a relatively short selection. But when read by the reader the passage seems to be much longer than only six paragraphs. This effect is made possible through Dillard’s excellent use of description‚ details‚ transitions‚ repetition‚ sentence variety‚ parallelism‚ point of view‚ and tension. “He ran after us‚ and we ran away from him‚ up the snowy Reynolds sidewalk. At the corner‚ I looked back; incredibly‚ he

dimensions of disability (Reeve‚ 2002). Also the concept of disability is not linear (Reeve‚ 2002). People can be disabled when completing one task yet not disabled when completing another (). For example a deaf student may be disabled when asked to listen to a cd and write down how it makes them feel but not if they are required to look at a picture and write down how that makes them feel. So treating disability as a linear dichotomy is to

To understand issue of XP (Extreme Programming) as a methodology is important to mention some of it´s background. XP came to the picture in 1999 in Kent Beck´s book named Extreme Programming Explained. The book was originally aimed to programmers but the Extreme methodology reached others areas as well. XP as a methodology in the early 2000 gained a lot of followers as a new outlook of doing programming and systems design. But this new methodology also arose questions about its effectiveness and

What was the Manhattan Project? The Manhattan Project began in 1939 after Albert Einstein learned of the Germans plans to take the splitting of a uranium atom and turn it into a weapon‚ Einstein warned the U.S President‚ who took the upcoming threat seriously enough to begin the construction of the world’s first atomic bomb. Creation of the bomb began in 1942 and ended in 1946 after the United States dropped a bomb on Nagasaki and ultimately killed 200‚000 people. The construction of the weapon involved

Activity 3.3Making Linear Measurements Purpose How thick is one of the hairs on your head? Could it be measured accurately with a standard inch scale? If the smallest increment on an inch scale is 1/16 inch‚ then 20 average size human hairs could fit within the space of a 1/16 inch gap. The required degree of accuracy needed is dependent on the application. If you were to build a home‚ a standard inch scale is perfect for laying out walls and locating window openings.A dial caliper is a precision

Programming paradigms What is programming? Programming is writing‚ designing and maintaining the source code of a computer programme. There are 3 different types of programming: Procedural Object orientated Event driven Procedural Procedural programming is a term used to describe the way which a computer programmer writes a program. This method of developing software which is also called an application revolves around keeping code as concise as possible. Its operators by reading the tasks that are
