Tom Godwin’s short story “ The Cold Equations “ demonstrates temptation vs reality‚ when the reality of something is not what is wanted but the outcome cannot be changed through temptation. A 17-year-old girl‚ Marilyn‚ had made a mistake by sneaking on to and EMS cruiser because she wanted to see her brother‚ that she hadn’t seen in years‚ who was working at the destination of the cruiser. When she got found by the pilot he had thought that the stowaway was like any other man and protocol was said

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

The graph for run 1‚ which plotted ln(Abs at 595nm) versus time‚ a first order reaction‚ with an R^2 value of 0.99621 was the most linear. Therefore‚ crystal violet is a first order reaction. The observed rate constant from run 2‚ as shown in figure 4‚ was significantly lower then the observed rate constant from run 1‚ shown in figure 1. Therefore‚ the R^2 for the first order reaction for run 2‚ 0.946418‚ represented in figure 4‚ which is also extremely low‚ was not taken into consideration for calculations

or fear of the unknown.” Many conflicts that were presented during these stories triggered fear‚ panic and fright‚ relating back to the “xenophobia” the characters felt during the story. The two stories that I read during this unit were “The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin and “War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells. I believe that H.G. Wells’ story contributed and related more to this unit’s theme. Therefore‚ I think there are many solid quotes that would reinforce my argument. During “War of the Worlds”
