velocity of the stream using Equation 1. (Eqn. 1) Where is the flowrate in m3/s and A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe. To find the flowrate‚ we multiply the flowmeter reading by the constant and convert from gallons to cubic meters as follows: The cross sectional area of the 7.75mm pipe is Plugging these values into Equation 1‚ we obtain a bulk velocity . With the bulk velocity value‚ we can find the Reynolds number of the flow using Equation 2. (Eqn. 2) Plugging

The media equation is a theory developed by two professors of communication‚ Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass‚ at Stanford University. The theory is simple. They state that people treat the media as if they were real‚ hence the equation: media = real life. Basically Reeves and Nass are saying that people on an unconscious level perceive the media as real. People view objects of the media are talking to them personally. Reeves and Nass view things such as computers‚ televisions‚ radios‚ and other

The Triathlon Equation Those who are interested in doing the triathlon often do not know how to do their training effectively. First you must build a base. This means you must start with endurance only a few times a week‚ progressing to 6 days a week with one rest day. You should only do 1 activity a day‚ with 1 brick workout a week. A brick workout simulates what it feels like to do two of the activities back to back so that it is easier come race day. Brick examples include: 1.) swim 300m

has essentially left other issues of national importance fading in the background. First‚ we will look at how Agenda-setting theory operates and how it explains the media influence on how the public assign importance on phenomena. This theory by Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw was summarized by Bernard Cohen (as cited in Cox‚ 2014) who said that the media has “…its ability to mentally order and organize our world for us. In short‚ the media may not be able to tell us what to think‚ but they are stunningly
