Cold Equations‚” written by Tom Godwin‚ is about an emergency supplies ship pilot who finds a stowaway on his ship‚ and must execute her on sight. This story illuminates the theme that sometimes‚ the consequences to one’s actions can be worse than the initial crime itself. First‚ in the beginning of the story‚ The E.D.S pilot sits in the cockpit of his ship‚ reciting the clearly stated law‚ “Any stowaways discovered in an EDS shall be jettisoned immediately following discovery”.

phantoms coupled with the fact that the biological tissues are porous in nature consisting of numerous blood vessels of various diameters‚ make the job of determination of the laser intensity distributions extremely difficult. The Radiative Transport Equation (RTE) developed by Chandrasekhar [4] has been employed in the present work to solve for the light transfer inside the tissue phantoms. The RTE model‚ developed by Chandrasekhar [4] has been developed by considering a balance of photons inside a control

The accounting equation is an equation that includes the Assets‚ Liabilities‚ and Stock of a company. These three attributes determine the value of a company. This value is used to file the company’s taxes. When the value is figured by the accounting equation‚ investors can determine a possible return on their investments. Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are the debts and obligations of the business. Liabilities represent claims of creditors on the assets of the business

CHAPTER 7 THE TWO-VARIABLE REGRESSION MODEL: HYPOTHESIS TESTING QUESTIONS 7.1. (a) In the regression context‚ the method of least squares estimates the regression parameters in such a way that the sum of the squared difference between the actual Y values (i.e.‚ the values of the dependent variable) and the estimated Y values is as small as possible. (b) The estimators of the regression parameters obtained by the method of least squares. (c) An estimator

“Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin is about human nature versus reality‚ because the girl’s nature told her to get on the EDS as a stowaway‚ but she didn’t know the reality so she suffered the ultimate consequence of death. The EDS pilot knew he wasn’t alone in the EDS because of the heat sensor. He knew what he had to do‚ so he opened the cabinet where the human was. The pilot is surprised to find a young happy girl in the cabinet and gets thrown off his objective. He tells her what he has to do and

Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT): A very basic transducer which is always useful in the field of instrumentation‚ I have studied about this in my college days. Now let me explain about the LVDT with its Principle of Operation and I will explain how it is constructed for its well known operation and you can understand the working of LVDT. Principle of LVDT: LVDT works under the principle of mutual induction‚ and the displacement which is a non-electrical energy is converted into an

Accounting Equation Paper NAME ACC/300 INSTRUCTOR DATE The basic accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. When looking at the balance sheet one can assume that assets must balance out each transaction and balance the claims to the assets (Kimmel‚ 2010). A balance sheet provides Assets of the company first and foremost‚ then Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity and last retained earnings. This shows the companies incoming money‚ outgoing payments‚ and the

In the story “Cold Equations”‚ by Tom Goodwin‚ there is space travel. Something such as this would only be possible because of technology. Just in the last 100 years‚ transportation has changed very rapidly‚ in that span‚ people have even went into space. The ship in the
