model that fits the data I collected of whirlybird wing length vs. time, doing so by using first principles. Also to find out which wing length would produce longest flight time. Method: Firstly, I made a whirlybird model and timed how long it took to reach the floor from a certain height. This procedure was repeated several times, each time lessening the wing length and keeping the same height. For each wing length, the bird was dropped three times for maximum
Ebony Bodies versus Vestigle Wings, where Long wings are dominant over short wings and normal bodies are dominant over black bodies. The other cross that was performed was White versus Wild where red eyes in fruit flies are dominant over white eyes. The purpose of the first experiment, Ebony vs. Vestigle was to see how many of the offspring had normal bodies and normal wings, normal bodies and vestigle wings, ebony bodies and normal wings, and ebony body and vestigle wings. The purpose of the second
tail in right or left direction. Rudders with the help of ailerons turn the aircraft. Ailerons control roll Two ailerons on the outer rear edge of each wing move in opposite directions, that is up and down, increasing lift on one wing while decreasing it on the other. Consequently, the aircraft rolls to the right or left. Ailerons tilt the wings in the required direction hence turns the aircraft. Elevator controls pitch The elevator tilts down or up on a horizontal tail surface leading to an increased
are presented together. The first line has two outward wings at its end; the second doesn’t have wings; and the last line has two inward wings at its end. Muller-Lyer illusion says that the line with outward wings looks longer than the line without wings, and the other line with inward wings looks shorter than the one without wings. In our CogLab experiment, it is designed to have only a line with outward wings and another line that has no wings showing to the participants; their task was to choose
Microraptor Gui: The Dinosaur with Four Wings Knowing that pterodactyls belong to a separate group of reptiles than dinosaurs, the thought of a dinosaur with wings may seem somewhat strange. But a fairly recent archeological find adds an extra detail to make this idea truly bizarre: a dinosaur with four wings. Microraptor gui, discovered by Xing Xu and colleagues, is believed to be a kind of missing link between strictly ground-dwelling dinosaurs and birds, namely Archaeopteryx, the earliest
this guy named Ossenburger who also went to Pencey a long time ago. After Ossenburger got out of Pencey, he made a lot of money in the undertaking business. After making a bundle of dough, Ossenburger gave some of it to Pencey and that’s why the new wing of the dorms are named after him. Then the next morning, Ossenburger gave a speech to the students of Pencey Prep about how he was never ashamed when he was in some kind of trouble or something that Ossenburger would get right down on his knees and
decision on this issue was indeed wrong, but for different reasons. Like Bork, many feel that the Court had no right to interpret the binding piece of our country, the Constitution. Since the word "abortion" is not used in the Constitution, right-wing lawyer Bork states " Unfortunately, in the entire opinion there is not one line of explanation, not one sentence that qualifies as a legal argument ". (pg, 103, Bork) He continues to say " It is unlikely that it ever will, because the right
This is the fact that elevates Winesburg, Ohio above the rest. It is the fact that every man hides a part of himself from the eyes of others. The hunger was earliest demonstrated in the short story Hands. In this episode the main character, Wing Biddlebaum, in forced into isolation due to a traumatic event earlier in his life. Biddlebaum was at one time a teacher in a small Pennsylvania town. He was a man who urged his students to dream, and he happened to communicate this with his hands
is designed well the water will flow around more easily. The sail of a modern sailing boat or yacht catches the wind and pushes the boat forward. The sail of a boat is very similar to the wing of an airplane or even a bird's wing. The same principles that govern those structures happen - a plane's wing lifts the plane and a boat's sail lifts and pushes it forward. Imagine the sail of a boat cutting into the air. As the sail cuts through the air some of the air goes around the curved side
cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body (which would contract in time). Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What that man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was
Monte Cristo Journal In the beginning of the book The Count of Monte Cristo we meet Edmond Dantès; he comes across as a model of honesty, ability, and innocence. “He was a fine tall, slim young fellow, with black eyes, and hair as dark as a ravens wing; and his whole appearance bespoke that calmness and resolution peculiar to men accustomed from their cradle to contend with danger (pg 4).” Regardless of his youth, he is a useful leader to his sailors. He was also very devoted to his father and fiancée
system, which means that the events occurring in Germany in 1918 didn’t constitute a revolution. Groups changed in and out of power, but in the end it was always one group ruling over the people, just as the Kaiser had. The Social Democrats, a right-wing political group, eventually took his place, using the Freikorps to control people. The Spartacists wanted a revolution exactly like that in Russia in the previous year, but they were never allowed the chance to come into great power. And so the governmental
has driven this man to the point of casting his body over the edge of a building. Straight from the text of Hands, a story about a man and his paranoia of his own hands. An example of Wing Biddlebaums fear. "Wing Biddlebaum forever frightened and beset by a ghostly band of doubts."(p. 882) Adolf Myers, or Wing, as the town people called him, was a dreamer, he wanted others to dream with him and experience what he did. "Adolf Myers walked into the evening or had sat talking until dusk upon the
A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings The fictional tale entitled A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is an intriguing story which is expressed very well in the title. The story is about just that, an old man with wings. The only aspect that the title fails to point out is that he is an angel. I find the story to be somewhat interesting; however, it isn’t exactly hard to put down. The one thing about this story that stands out the most, is the author’s use of tone. This is the main aspect of the
The sky. Open, blue, and vast. People who have been skydiving may describe the experience as amazingly freeing. However, some people may never experience this feeling of freedom in their lifetime. For the people of Haiti, even a brief moment of this feeling seems out of reach. And for them, it usually is. The experiences of fictional Haitians have been compiled into a book of short stories by Edwidge Danticat, entitled Krik? Krak! She portrays their harrowing struggles for freedom, whether the characters
Media Bias and Concentration After witnessing a hotly contested election and the massive amounts of campaigning done by both parties in effort to inform the public and reach as many voters as possible, one question still remains poignant: Where do we get our information? The myriad landscape that is the media today, can be accessed from almost anywhere, and has, in many ways, entrenched itself in American culture, replacing what used to be standard outlets of information. Television and print news
worldwide. The Swoosh logo at the side of each shoe is intended to represent the wing of the Greek Goddess Nike. The vibrant spirit of this ancient goddess has bridged the gap between ancient mythology and modern technology, and manifested itself through the most successful shoe company of all time. The Nike of Samothrace captures the essence of the goddess in a dramatic pose. Her body leans forward as her robust wings heave upwards, creating a magnificent balance and sense of motion.

the rest of my physical characteristics, from my mother. Short and ample do not make for a graceful bald-headed woman. Martha Stewart can make a soufflé from an egg, some tree bark, and a cup of sugar. I can’t do that either. My inability to just “wing” recipes comes directly from my grandmother. If it’s written down, I can do it, but from there it can get a little scary. Hillary Clinton is a hard-working, respectable woman with an Ivy League education. Now THAT I can handle. My dedication, determination
INTRODUCTION There is an abundant amount of animal species in the world. They all have adapted and evolved to survive in their surroundings. Some have grown fins, others legs, and still others wings. One of the animals that has grown wings is the bat. The bat is a truly great creature. It has all the characteristics of mammals while also possessing the skill of a bird in flight. There are more than 800 species of bats in the world. They are of many different sizes, shapes, and lifestyles. They live
are used instead of humans, but not only time, ethics have also been a major, if not the most important factor. The traits observed here in this experiment were the wing types, whether vestigial or normal, and the eye color, whether brown or white. The genotype of the vestigial wing was a homozygous recessive vv. The normal wings were either Vv, or VV. The eye color was denoted by the genotype BB, and Bb for brown, and bb for...
