B) Whose self? In the early parts of the novel‚ Oedipa runs into people with multiple names and identities‚ or who are actor sor compulsive role-players. (She herself gets the name tag “Arnold Snarb” stuck on her.) Later‚ the men around her start dissolving or disappearing in even more drastic ways. Obviously‚ this sense of psychic variability is a result of Pynchon’s method characterization‚ which gives surface traits rather than psychological depth; still‚ its good to remember that Hollywood is

METHODOLOGY FOR MEASURING PROJECT COMPLEXITY Introduction Project managers and practioners in the area of project management frequently describe their projects as simple or complex when discussing management issues [1]. This indicates a practical acceptance that complexity makes a difference to the management of projects [2]. Complexity models provides project managers and leadership teams with direction on how to set up a project and manage it based on its level of complexity so that risk can

A. The Selfish Gene‚ authored by Richard Dawkins‚ attempts reconsider the longstanding theory of evolution by adjusting the perspective of the reader and scientific community. Dawkins asserts that Darwinian evolution‚ as it is presently taught‚ is vulnerable to misinterpretation given the unit of selection most commonly discussed. To clarify‚ the phrase “survival of the fittest” is often bandied about whenever a textbook or lecture broaches the topic of evolution. But who‚ or what‚ is the fittest

Harvard Business Review Let’s Hear it For B Players: A Summary B players are often downplayed as mediocre employees because they lack the “luster and attitude” of star A players. Like any theatre performance‚ if managerial attention is low on supporting actors‚ and high only on its few star actors‚ the entire production will suffer as a whole. In business‚ a company’s long-term performance rate depends on the “commitment and contributions of B players”—who make up the biggest group of workers

Jung’s theories are interesting. He studied the personality as something very important to a person--it is embedded within us and is what emerges to the outside world so as to be seen by others. His three principles: opposition‚ equivalence and entropy is quite great and for me‚ really describe every humans’ way of interacting with their environment and the way they come to pursue and continue everyday life. I find it true enough that humans have this general life energy (libido) and uses it in

(b) the total rate of heat rejection to the environment 10. A 20 kg of aluminum block initially at 80oC is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 120 liters of water at 25oC. Determine the final equilibrium temperature and the total entropy change for this process. 11. A heat pump is to be used to heat a building during the winter. The building is to be maintained at 21oC at all times. The building is estimated to be losing heat at a rate of 135‚000 kJ/h when the outside temperature

Anise oil was successfully able to be extracted from anise seeds during this experiment. It was done by first crushing the seeds‚ then placing them into a distillation apparatus. The distillation apparatus evaporated the liquid from the seeds‚ which was captured in a flask. Next‚ DCM was added to the distillate‚ which allowed the water to be separated from the anise oil. Finally‚ the DCM evaporated and the pure anise oil was collected. The process of steam distillation allowed the anise oil in
