Expansion of the Universe and Type Ia Supernovae
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses expansion of the universe and the impact of evidence presented through the analysis of an astronomical event has served, once again, to challenge the ways in which human beings understand the universe of which they are a part. Scientific evidence of the past several years have lead astronomers and other scientists to understand that the expansion of the universe is taking place at an ever-accelerating speed. Such a conclusion has been reached through the observation of Type Ia or, specifically, Type 1987a Supernova. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Family Interaction in Crises Related to Natural Disasters
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses family interactions and what takes place in family relationships when a natural disaster such as an earthquake occurs.

Fictitious Archaeological Dig
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. The architectural layout and planning of this particular site reflects a decidedly communicative ideology, in that it represents the very cultural essence of its people. Embedded within this written ideology of the ruined city's structure is the greater conceptualization of education and expression. Without question, these interrelated aspects of communication appeared to be the cornerstone of this community's existence, indicating the very reason for its construction. In spite of the fact that the remains do no yield an interpretation of daily life, archaeologists have been able to gather enough information so as to understand the complexities surrounding a collection of semi-preserved writing implements located in the northeast corner. Regarding the social implications of such findings, researchers have found enough evidence to indicate that this site was a learning institution of some sort. Indeed, as many questions as these findings have been successful in addressing, there are many more left unanswered. It can readily be argued that the true and pointed intent of these educational and communicative remains indicate an extended grasp of language and expression. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Fluid Dynamics / Pipe Flows :
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the basic aspects of laminar and turbulent pipe flows as related to fluid movement through channels.

Liquids and gases move according to the same fundamental principles, differing only in movement as affected by density, viscosity and chemical composition. The paper discusses boundary, stationary layer, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Fred Hoyle's Contributions to Astronomy
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages. It seems most of the scientific community has accepted the Big Bang Theory as the creation of the universe, but since that time Hoyle has always refused to follow that line, arguing that the Big Bang has not lived up to its early promise, and that his revised Steady State theory, that the universe has always existed, better fits the facts.
