Hipparcos Mira Variable Stars ABSTRACT From the visual and infrared light curves we are trying to find the phase changes and correlate them to Infrared shift and magutdes to see what is happing to Mira type stars as they age. Most of the radiation in the star is in the Infrared. The method being used O-C and fitting mean light curves. All mira variables pulsate undergoing rapid mass loss. In the conclusion we show that the magnitude has a positive correlation with the phase shift. I.Introduction
The most important thing in the world is the love of family. The Novel, The Namesake written by Jhumpa Lahiri that was later recreated into a film in 2006, displays all the important aspects of love. Both the movie and the book greatly showed the importance of love. Rather, it 's through the birth of Gogol, Ashoke dying, or with Gogol finding out about his wife affair. Although there are many themes shown throughout the novel and the film, the theme that stood out the most to me was love. Love was
SOCIOLOGICAL REVIEW: 'THE NAMESAKE' Name: Varun Kumar Khare Roll no. : 150793 Course: SOC171B Plot:- The movie starts off with the life of two bengalese named Ashima, a classical singer, and Ashoke, who has settled in USA. Ashima, married in India, moves to the USA, leaving behind her family and the well-known familiar life. She tries to adjust to the new lifestyle and to assimilate the cultural differences. Ashoke on the other hand could adapt to
constructed in various forms to enhance their diverse contexts and inherent perspectives. Ultimately, political perspectives and society shape one another; they’re inextricably linked and cyclical in nature. W.H. Auden’s poem ‘September 1, 1939’ and Mira Nair’s film ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ (2012), respectively expose the dehumanising framework of tyranny and its affect on differing facets of humanity. Both mediums challenge domineering ideologies surrounding supreme power and attempt to empathetically
to both American and Indian audiences. In what seems to be a combination of Hollywood and Bollywood, the movie starts with a chaotic, arranged marriage that ends in moments of dramatic revelation and joyful celebrations. In Monsoon Wedding, director Mira Nair illustrates the tension between a traditional and globalized India but encourages her audience to embrace both customs by comparing the marriages of Alice and Aditi. Nair shows the culture clash of India through her two leading ladies, Alice,
sticking with my original opinion that I tend to think that books are better portrayed than movies, but this one was a close call. Works Cited Lahiri, Jhumpa. The Namesake.

When emerging into a new culture, many find it difficult to adapt to new customs that have not always been presented to them. Jhumpa Lahiri, novelist of The Namesake and Mira Nair director of the movie based off the novel, both create a way for people to understand the pressure placed upon individuals who are trying to fit into a new society. The book and movie are both accurately able to show struggles faced in a new environment, the importance of religion, and becoming at peace with what cannot
Diaspora all around the world face hardships when they first emigrate to their new home countries, but one such difficulty that is significant to their lives is their name. At first, a name appears to be no more than a simple way of identifying oneself. However, names can have great impacts on people’s lives due to their unseen importance and purpose, as shown in both the novel and film, The Namesake. Both adaptations follow the story of an Indian couple after their immigration to the United States
Gogol and Sonia’s hybridization into the American culture Introduction Jhumpa Lahiri's novel “The Namesake” is an example of immigrant narrative, which deals with the theme of immigration and acculturation. The novel discusses the traditional immigration topics of exile and its discontents, intergenerational differences, losses and acquisitions of the immigrants and their children in pursuit of the American dream. However, the novel's theme is not framed by the concept “American dream” only - a
remember watching the movie “Bend it like Beckham” by Gurinder Chaddha and how fascinated I was with the entire depiction of Indian diaspora and the process of negotiation and assertion of identity that is spun across the movie. In a similar fashion Mira Nair’s the namesake is the story of identity conflict and formation of two diasporic generations in the U.S. I was captivated by the idea of how the Diaspora film-makers themselves make films on the diaspora and the way they present it on the big screen

VARIABLES: - * Type of exercise * Duration of exercise * Intensity of exercise * Stage of respiration * Age of the person exercising * level of fitness and recovery rate * gender of candidate * temperature * amount of recovery time KEY VARIABLE: - The variable that I will be using is the duration of exercise, this is because it is easy to measure
Circuit Task: To investigate how length and width of copper wire affect on the current of a circuit. Prediction: In this experiment, the input variable will be changing the length of the copper wire used in the experiment, and also the SWG of the wire, which means the width of the wire. By changing this variable, the current the circuit will vary. With my knowledge in science and some research on the factors that affect a circuit's resistance. I am able to
Internal Resistance Investigation I will conduct the following investigation with the aim to find the internal resistance of a lemon battery, which I will construct myself. The variables that could affect my experiment are as follows: · Size of lemon - I will conduct my experiment in no longer than an hour, allowing me to use the same lemon for all results · Size of metal electrodes - I will use the exact same electrodes throughout the whole experiment ·
gnoseological sense the fundamental feature of the absolute is unambiguity. The absolute is unambiguous, it has always and everywhere only one meaning. Relative is, on the contrary, conditional, it exists only in reference to other beings; it is variable, unstable, it changes in various relations. That is the ontological status of the relative, which in gnoseological language means ambiguity, it has multimeaning. Relative is ambiguous. One of the most difficult problems of philosophy is the investigation

the speed of the rate of reaction when reacting with Magnesium Ribbon. I want to find out whether the strength of Hydrochloric acid will affect the speed of the rate of reaction when reacting with Magnesium Ribbon. Variables There are two important independent variables in my investigation the first of which is the concentration of the Hydrochloric Acid used during the investigation. The concentration of the acid will partly determine how fast the reaction takes place, if we put some
as a higher temperature would mean diffusion would occur quicker. The mass and surface area of the potatoes at the beginning of the experiment are other controls I will need to monitor to ensure a fair test. The mass of the potato is a dependent variable; this means that it will be measured throughout the experiment. I will measure the mass in grams correct to 2d.p. The potato chip will be measured before it is put in the solution, and after. This will allow us to see whether osmosis has taken place
increase. I predict that the weight of the potato in the sugar solution will decrease when it reaches 3:1 (salt: water). In put Variables: -Molarity -Size of potato -Mass of Water -Molarity of Sugar -Length of time in the solution -Temperature of water Out put variables: -Weight of potato Key variables: -Molarity of sugar. This is a key variable because it has the most effective outcome because osmosis only works when there are different molarities in and outside of the potato
Vocabulary Assignment #1 Nonexperimental Research (McMillan, 2012, p.13): Nonexperimental research is a quantitative research design in which the researcher has no control over any of the variables or factors within a study, and thus cannot influence the behavior of the subjects of the study. This phrase relates to a study that I may conduct because I would like to investigate how student-athletes’ academic achievement compares to that of non-student-athletes. In such an investigation, I would
