“And the Band Played on” (1993) shows the early stages of the Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic in the United States. The movie starts in a village on the banks of the Ebola River in Zaire where Dr. Don Francis‚ an idealistic epidemiologist‚ discovers the residents dead due to an illness later determined as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. He is then hunted by the images of mass deaths when he joins in the research on AIDS. Personal interests between the doctors of the Centers for Disease

“The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead.” [The Band of Brothers] In 1942‚ the U.S. army assembled a volunteer parachute regiment to jump behind enemy lines. Embedded in this unit was a company of men who landed to fight at the forefront of the war in Europe. That company was Easy Company. The brave men parachuted behind enemy lines in the early hours of D-Day in support of the landings at Utah beach and much more. Doing so‚ the company sustained one of the highest casualty

I absolutely love jumping on the trampoline but I never really thought there was any physics involved. I knew you had to use a force to jump up and gravity pulls you back down obviously. An American inventor named George Nissen first invented the trampoline in 1935. (Silvia) A trampoline is defined as an elastic disc of hard canvas held up by metal springs attached to a metal skeletal frame. Kinetic and Potential energy allow you to be able to jump on a trampoline. PE=mgh this equation helps you

Fawzi Abdelgani Ahmad . Experiment 1: Experimental Uncertainty (Error) and Data Analysis Jan/30/2013 PRELAB: 1. Do experimental measurements give the rule value of a physical quantity? Explain. No. Statistical methods are used to establish the deviations in the measurement. 2. Distinguish between random (statistical) error and systematic error‚ and give an example of each. Random errors are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment like mechanical

To determine the heating and cooling curve of water Design: What we are going to do is investigate the phase changes and what the heating curve of water is. We are going to do this is by heating up 100ml of water on a Bunsen burner then adding ice cubes. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature every 30 seconds until it reaches a plateau. Hypothesis: As more time passes‚ the temperature of the water increases. Independent variable: Time Dependent variable: Changing water temperature

6. Applications * Is it possible to add heat to a body without changing its temperature? Yes. It is possible to add energy to a body (in the form of heat) and not raise its temperature by causing a phase change. When you heat ice it takes energy to convert it from ice to water‚ but does not change the temperature of the body until it is all converted. The principle behind this is what we call latent heat. It refers to the energy (or heat) required to change the state of a substance without changing
