Sound of Waves Commentary In this passage‚ found on pages 135 and 136 of The Sound of Waves‚ author Yukio Mishima utilizes brutal imagery through descriptive diction to expose the subtle sexism apparent on this island. Furthermore‚ he provides commentary on gender roles and stereotypes‚ which are apparent not only in his own life‚ but on the island of Uta-jima as well. Gender roles become apparent as the novel progresses because Shinji is looking for a woman of beauty rather than of intellect

Heat resistance of endospores of Bacillus pumilus Abstract Spore suspension of Bacillus pumilus was inoculated into universal bottles containing sterile distilled water in water baths at temperatures of 85°C‚ 90°C and 95°C. At specific time intervals‚ a sample was removed and spread on nutrient agar plates. The number of colonies formed was used to determine the D-value and z-value. The D-value for 85°C is 64.1 minutes‚ 25.7 minutes for 90°C and 8.2 minutes for 95°C while the z-value is 11

Mechanical Waves Background Mechanical waves are waves which require a medium for propagation since energy is transferred via the motion of the medium. An example of a mechanical wave is sound. Transverse waves are waves which vibrate perpendicular to their direction of propagation. Surface water waves can be classified as a transverse wave. All electromagnetic waves are also examples of transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which its particles vibrate parallel to their direction of

of the metal was determined by the heat energy calculations. The heat capacity that was found matched closely to that of the lead. There were several possible sources of error that could be found throughout the lab. Some of the main errors as seen in question 7 that could have affected the results of the lab were the amount of water transferred with the hot metal‚ the metal cooling off as it was transferred from the calorimeter‚ the calorimeter lost heat to the surroundings as it was stirred

3 Methods of Heat Transfer Now in Physics we learn that there are three methods of heat transfer‚ this being: Radiation‚ Conduction‚ and Convection. Let’s start with radiation; radiation is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves. So basically it does not need to directly touch anything or move any particles around‚ much like convection and conduction do. Radiation mostly occurs through empty space‚ so I think a good example of radiation would be when you feel warm in front of a fire

details of the novel. PLAN Introduction: Paragraph 1: Shinji and Yasuo Paragraph 2: Hatsue and Chiyoko Paragraph 3: Nature in their village Paragraph 4: Nature in their love Conclusion: Yukio Mishima’s 1954 novel‚ The Sound of Waves‚ narrates the story of Hatsue and Shinji’s search for love in a rural fishing community where tradition is very important. Throughout the novel‚ Mishima portrays the theme of nature through the representation of both the protagonist’s – Shinji and

Select the five facts about tsunamis that were the most interesting or surprising to you. Make a list of your facts. 1. A tsunami is made up of a series of traveling ocean waves of extremely long wavelength. 2. They are triggered by earthquakes and undersea volcanic eruptions and deep sea landslides. 3. The wave shape changes and the height increases as it approaches the coastline. 4. Far field tsunamis have a long travel time so it is easier to predict their effects. 5. Near field

the friction of the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks‚ all that stored up energy is released. The energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions in the form of seismic waves like ripples on a pond but much more violent. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it‚ and when the waves reach the earth’s surface‚ they shake the ground and anything on it‚ like our houses and workplaces. The tool that scientists use to record and measure earthquakes is called
