Arrangements of cells and atoms‚ their repeating patterns‚ the rhythms of their form forces architects to question the building components‚ just as Otto did by the inspiration of radiolarians. In a way to continue in the search of the effect of these self-generated dynamic forms‚ Hensel‚ Menges and Weinstock provides information about the methods that can be followed to apply the inspirations from biology to architecture in the intro of the book Emergent Technologies and design: Towards

due only to Van der Waals forces that operate by induced polarity in non-polar molecules. Cohesion‚ along with adhesion (attraction between unlike molecules)‚ helps explain phenomena such as meniscus‚ surface tension and capillary action. Mercury in a glass flask is a good example of the effects of the ratio between cohesive and adhesive forces. Because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass‚ mercury does not spread out to cover the bottom of the flask ‚ and if enough is placed in the

Volume 2‚ Chapter 3 * Identify the important events The monster develops his five senses but he’s unable to differentiate them and is unable to distinguish light and dark when he blinks. He wanders from the laboratory to a forest near Ingolstadt‚ which offered him shade. The monster finds raw berries and nuts and discovers the flickering remnants of a fire. He realises that the fire can be kept by adding wood and that fire is used for warmth and to cook food. All of the people that the creature

Surface Waves: Understanding its movements I. Introduction We treat here an important wave phenomenon‚ the surface wave. It occurs in many physical systems both mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical surface waves can exist at the interface between two media with different densities such as the oceans and air. Ordinary sea waves and tsunamis are surface waves. Seismic events can produce both longitudinal and shear waves at the earth’s surface‚ resulting in earthquakes. Electromagnetic surface

Investigation: The Stanford prison experiment was originally intended to run for a fortnight. However it lasted only 6 days and was ended earlier than initially planned due to the terrible living conditions and psychological problems that developed as the ‘inmates’ and ‘guards’ interacted.. The experiment was run by Philip Zimbardo‚ Craig Haney‚ David Jaffe‚ and W. Curtis Banks. The test subjects were young male college students that were chosen from 75 volunteers. The volunteers had replied to

The Stanford Prison Experiment was a very unique and brutal experiment. In 1973 the professor Philip G. Zimbardo set out to study how normal subjects such as college aged men would react as “prisoners” and “guards” in a mock prison setting. Stanford set up what they called a “mock prison” in the basement of Stanford University’s psychology building. During the experiment there were ten prisoners and eleven guards. The prisoners were stripped of their uniqueness by being dressed in matching smocks

An Experiment To Show The Effect Of Exercise On The Body Aim The aim of the experiment is to find out the effect exercise has on the body‚ and why these changes take place in the body. Introduction Respiration is the physical process by which living organisms take in oxygen from the surrounding medium and emit carbon dioxide. The term respiration is also used to refer to the liberation of energy‚ within the cell‚ from fuel molecules such as carbohydrates and fats. Carbon dioxide and water

Volume‚ also referred to as dynamics‚ is one of the most important components of sound. Composers use volume as a way of controlling the emotional content and shape of a piece. It is interesting to note‚ however‚ that early composers did not generally mark their scores with instructions about volume until well into the 17th century‚ but depended upon the musicians to determine the appropriate levels of volume for a specific performance space. Composers started writing indications for dynamic levels

Purpose To test whether the lunar effect is a reality or simply a myth‚ I will conduct a study to see if there is any correlation between the lunar phases and birth rate. Independent variable: Lunar phases Dependent variable: Birth rate Background The lunar effect is the idea that there is a correlation between the lunar phases and changes in living beings on Earth‚ including humans. Many people believe that the lunar effect on birth rate causes more

gravity and the type of surface was tested through a series of experiments. In lab 4.1‚ the force of gravity was tested through various surface types‚ including: tabletop‚ waxed paper‚ paper towel‚ fine sandpaper‚ and coarse sand paper. In lab 4.2‚ two different surface types that were tested included: tabletop and coarse sand paper. This lab compared the two averages between both tabletop and coarse sandpaper using different amounts of blocks. In lab 4.3‚ the surface area of the blocks sliding across
