In this essay I will outline the central findings as expressed in Strum’s book‚ Almost Human: A Journey into the World of Baboons‚ and connect her conclusions to information gathered throughout this course. Strum’s ground-breaking evidence of socially intelligent‚ minimally aggressive‚ female-centered baboon societies not only gives a glimpse into the lives of primates and the possible landscape for the evolution of man‚ but the controversy surrounding primate

7 Possible generator arrangements This section discusses various generator arrangements and their suitability for use in the conversion of a traditional windmill. The generator arrangement may include a speed-increasing gearbox or belt-drive and/or a power electronic frequency converter. See also the Appendix: Background information on induction generators. 7.1 Fixed-speed induction generator Many modern wind turbines (especially those manufactured during the 1990s) use a four-pole induction generator

Two-Point Discrimination Test: Determining the Two-Point Threshold ABSTRACT The two-point discrimination test of the skin is a simple test of the sensory nerve function. Two-point discrimination measures the individual’s capability to distinguish two points of stimuli presented at the same time. The importance of this study is the ability to tell of two points verses than one that pressing on the skin depends on two things: the concentration of the sensory receptors and the connections that

Gas analysis techniques Terms for gas analysis techniques Concentration The term concentration describes the amount of a substance‚ expressed as mass‚ volume‚ or number of particles in a unit volume of a solid‚ liquid‚ or gaseous substance e.g. alcohol in beer or oxygen in air. Different units are in use to describe concentration in gases: Mass concentration Concentration expressed in terms of mass of substance per unit volume [g substance/m3 gas volume] ¢ Volume concentration Concentration

parents going to a gas station and you see the gas price have increase annually‚ how do you feel about it? Have you ever think that the price should be cheaper? Moreover‚ have you ever know that you can pay less than what you are actually paying for gas right now? In today presentation I would like to persuade my classmate and give information about why NGV gas is the best choice to choose. NGVS are still greatly outnumbered by vehicles‚ which use conventional gasoline. The main reason is that the

and bend the glass tube into a U-shape. The glass tube is then filled with a liquid‚ typically mercury‚ so that all trapped air is removed from the sealed end of the tube. The glass tube is then positioned with the curved region at the bottom. The mercury settles to the bottom After the mercury settles to the bottom of the manometer‚ a vacuum is produced in the sealed tube. The open tube is connected to the system whose pressure is being measured. In the sealed tube‚ there is no gas to exert a force
