THE PARTHENON AND THE ELGIN MARBLES BY EPAMINONDAS VRANOPOULOS Athens 1985 PREFACE The response to the Greek government’s demand for the return to Greece of the sculptures of the Parthenon‚ now in the British Museum‚ has been so encouraging that it has given rise to hopes that the Elgin Marbles‚ as they have come to be known‚ may indeed one day be restored to their rightful home. The favourable response has come from UNESCO and from public opinion world-wide‚ including Britain.

How does the temperature of water affect how fast sugar can dissolve? Predict We will do three different tests‚ dissolving the water in boiling‚ warm and cool water. The sugar in the boiling water will dissolve the fastest. The sugar added to the cool water will dissolve the slowest. Reason According to the state of matter theory‚ the particles in a gas move faster than in a liquid‚ which I will use to infer that the hotter the water is and closer to a gas‚ the faster the particles move. Therefore

Enzymes are very large complex organic molecules that are synthesized by the cell to perform specific functions. These biological catalysts are important because they speed up the rate of the reaction that would otherwise be too slow to support life. Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants‚ animals and aerobic

How does the temperature of 75mls of water affect how quickly one teaspoon of sugar dissolves? Aims and Objectives The aim of this scientific enquiry is to determine if and how the temperature of 75mls of water affects the speed in which sugar can dissolve in. The objective is to use three different independent variable temperatures of water. Then record three dependent variables of time in which the sugar dissolves in the different temperatures of water being used. One being cold‚ which in this

3.2 “Lab-on-a-Chip” A Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) device‚ also known as a micro-total-analytical system (microTAS) or microfluidics device‚ is a device that can integrate miniaturized laboratory functions (such as separation and analysis of components of a mixture) on a single microprocessor chip using extremely small fluid volumes on the order of nanoliters to picoliters. From a technology categorization perspective‚ LOCs can be viewed as a subset of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and combine

The Present and Forward Fate of the Elgin Marbles The Parthenon marbles are works of art taken from the Acropolis of Athens by Lord Elgin and brought to England while Greece was under the control of the Ottoman Empire.. Lord Elgin received permission from the Sultan to remove the statues at a price less than what it takes to transport them. Money was not the main motive for Elgin in acquiring them‚ there were wealthy bidders who attempted to buy them from him but he refused. Once in England many

Personal Response The Blue Marble is a photograph of Earth that was taken December 7th‚ 1972 when the Apollo 17 crew were travelling toward the moon. The title of the beautiful photograph could symbolize many things but what I understood from it is that we see ourselves living on a small planet with many different aspects but in the end were always together if we put the effort in staying together. When observing The Blue Marble‚ I have realized many things such as the photograph gives me a better

and complex. One of the most renown and longstanding disputes is between Greece and the British Museum over the Parthenon Marbles. In the 19th century‚ Lord Elgin removed Marble sculptures from the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens and sold them to the British Museum where they have been on display since. Arguments of both legal and moral standing have been put forward by both parties‚ in regard to where the Marbles
