A multi ion beam sputtering technique can be used to successfully fabricate ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT). This technique is very advantageous in that the ion beam current and voltage can be attuned which allows for the control of flux density and energy of sputtered materials. This technique also offers lower operating pressures during deposition, controllable deposition, and outstanding uniformity over larger areas, reproducibility, and localized plasma within an ion source. Ion
Julie Lythcott-Haims’ article from Slate.com, “Kids of Helicopter Parents Are Sputtering Out,” is a recent article published on July 5 2015. Lythcott-Haims discusses the issues of mental health involving college students. Specifically, she is discussing the possible correlation of strict parental guidance—Helicopter or hovering parents--possibly affecting student’s life skills once they are on their own. Lythcott-Haims uses statistics as well as different studies to back up her thesis of “helicopter
Columbite–tantalite or coltan is a mineral which has become of great importance to the world because of its properties have been used in our mobile phones, computers, blades in aircraft engines, land-based gas turbines, mill products for sputtering targets and chemicals for audio and video. This has raised the prize of the black mineral and has created a profitable business where the tantalite is found in countries such as The Democratic Republic of Congo where the precious rock is found in the surface
Fluid Mechanics Physics is the branch of science, which deals with the motion, and the causes of the motion on a specific body. However, what causes this motion? The answer is forces that are in action. This subject of motion under forces is termed as Mechanics. Every object around us shows some type of motion, for example Sun and the other planets are going in circular motion and many other examples are all undergoing in the action of some kind of forces. The motion of fluids or liquids under the
Rooted Deep For no good reason; I have always been stubborn. Not necessarily in an angry or bored way, but maybe because I am scared. Sometimes, I feel like a plant, rooted to the ground. It won’t budge, till you pull really hard. Like the time I was on the high dive, at the pool. The dizzying height. The way my toes curled around edge of the board, which seemed to reflect the sky above. I remember falling, at first in fear. But then, delight swooped around me, like a gentle spring breeze
It was like a hungry tiger, with a roar that shook the sky, waiting to devour me. In and out, it came lashing, slowly growing impatient. I was in Hawaii, land of the warm beaches and beautiful rainbows. But I wasn’t enjoying it. “Come play!” my younger sister whined for what seemed like the billionth time. “No thanks,”I shook my head. I want to, I really do… I thought. But I couldn’t risk it. My sister simply continued pouting. “What’s wrong?,” my mom asked, after my sister had gone to the ocean
beckoning him to follow. When they were standing waist deep in the water, Socrates pushed the boy down, completely submerging his head. He held him thus for a couple of minutes, until the boy was almost to the point of death, before letting him up. Sputtering and angry, the boy demanded to know why Socrates had held him underwater for so long. In response, Socrates asked, "when you were under the water, what did you want more than anything in the world?" After a moment's reflection, the boy answered
Unfulfilled Edna of The Awakening As evidenced in Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, and other novels of the 1800’s, women writers of this period seem to feel very repressed. Leonce Pontellier seemed to be fond of his wife, and treated her as one would treat a loved pet. In the beginning of the story it describes him as looking at her as a “valuable piece of personal property”. He does not value her fully as a human being more as a piece of property. However, he expects her to be everything he thinks
In the short story, “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, the author uses vivid language to show the significance of a passage for the work as a whole. Lessing conveys themes, includes imagery, and uses figurative language to bring out the meaning of the themes of the story. First, Lessing conveys two important themes in the story. These themes involve determination and curiosity. “Then one, and then another of the boys came up on the far side of the barrier of rock, and he understood that they
My father having recently passed away, I was feeling nostalgic and found myself back in Livingston, haunting some of the old places of my youth: Becker's Farm; the National Little League baseball fields (we called it the sandpit); Northland Pool, and the adjacent water basin with the big painted rock titling rakishly at the far end of the field. The basin is now a soccer field, where I saw several coaches running young girls through various kicking drills. Some of the balls bounced into the concrete
I have been single for most of my life. I have dated a few guys but never really found what I was looking for. So I thought about it, what do I really want in a man? What kind of future husband do I want? I desire a wide selection, with many options for each man. After thinking about it, I realized that my future husband is a lot like a used car. First of all, like a car, I want to pick where he comes from. I can have my pick of a guy from here in America or a foreign guy with exotic flavor. This
Isaiah Tarwater Golden, 5 End-of-Unit Creative Writing I was awoken by the whispering sound of my name, “Sally...Sally...Wake up dear there's someone on the phone to speak with you. I told the young man you were asleep but he insisted, it must be important.” It was grandmother shaking me. “What did you say his name was?” I whispered, my voice still rough, having just awoken. “He said his name was Holden Coleman no, that's not right Callahan? Aww I’m such a fat-head” “Caulfield!? Grandmother, was
The system that was set up with the treaty’s basic laws and the transition caused a separation in economics that still hurts Germany today. Even after all this time the East German territory economies are still lagging behind even after all the subsidies. Previously stated, West Germany was doing very well economically, while the eastern half was struggling. The "German reunification [was the] paradigmatic of the economic integration of any two neighboring regions at different levels of economic
While the students chattered and the clocked ticked mercilessly, I assessed the situation. (I don’t think the brushstroke worked here, good try though). Shamefully peering at my amiable friends who were flamboyantly talking about endless gossip, pretty boys and snakes, I searched far and wide—my thoughts blank— like a voyager in the midst of an ocean, looking for anything, something to contribute to the conversation at hand. I had nothing, nothing to grasp to prevent my inevitable fall into the usual
turned away, but the king was deaf to it. He shook with his rage, indignation welling up in him. “Silence! Know your place wife!” was his angry shout. All fell still and silent. A sudden gust swept through the room, sending the braziers sputtering and dying out, the sudden chill and dimness sending a chill down spines and hairs standing on end at the scent of magic in riding on the gust of
Malala Yousafzai is seen as an example of the youth being determined with positive motives to achieve her goal. She was focused in spreading her ideas and thoughts on education to all, especially girls. Yousafzai’s actions and beliefs were shown to many like her, which convinced many to fight for their right to learn. Her struggle for educational equality has been known and heard around the world and in doing so, she has become an international symbol of peaceful protest. Yousafzai’s effort to convey
"Dover Beach" is either a man or woman standing at a window wearily reflecting on the world while staring at the beauty of the night coast. In the first section (Arnold's poem is very prose-like in its lack of a distinct structure or rhyme scheme, sputtering through the first nine lines in an abacdbdce rhyme scheme), the lover declares that "The sea is calm tonight." The poem continues with simple imagery of the atmosphere, describing the full tide, the moon, the beaches of Dover, the night air, the
In recent years, the intensification of young adults’ psychological needs has turned into a major mental health crisis. In her article “Kids of Helicopter parents are Sputtering Out” (Slate Magazine, July 5th, 2015), Julie Lythcott-Haims, a former dean in Stanford University and the writer of “How to Raise an Adult,” writes about her own experience of meeting college students with mental disorders and relates it to the upbringing of the students. She states that helicopter parenting causes negative
going to school, having three best friends, and his wonderful house. Bruno liked playing war with his friends, and sliding down banisters, and running around with his friends in downtown Berlin. For example, “‘Say goodbye to them?’ He repeated, sputtering out words as if his mouth was full of biscuits, but not actually swallowed yet. ‘Say goodbye to Karl, Daniel, and Martin? But they're my three best friends for life!’” (Boyne, 7). This shows that Bruno was no different than other kids from around
headlights and dogs with there heads out the window with there tounge out and slobber flowing out hitting car windows as if it was a waterfall pouring and pouring out slobber. As they got of the freeway and got on to exit 63 they found the car sputtering out midnight black smoke. “Oh great what could that be?” Amanda’s mom asked. “It’s probalbly the new tires wearing in” Amanda’s dad replies. As they pulled up to the man wearing his work outfit in the tiny, tiny ticket booth Amanda’s mom struggled
