...Abstract: In this experiment, the velocity profile for a flat plate at zero pressure gradient of a boundary layer at two different stream wise points were acquired. The investigation was also based on and how changes in Reynolds number affect the velocity distribution within boundary layers. Parameters such as the Momentum Thickness, Displacement Thickness, Shape Factor, shear stress and coefficient of friction was also calculated to gain a better understand of boundary layers. The experimental values calculated were compared to the theoretical Blasius for laminar flow and Power Law Solutions for turbulent flow to see how they varied. It was found out the higher the Reynolds number the greater the boundary layer thickness. As the boundary layer progressed the flow went from Laminar to Turbulent. Turbulent flow is more erratic and had a steeper velocity profile affect the shear stress. The momentum thickness and displacement thickness were greater for turbulent flow. Other ideas were examined in the discussions.

...English A Barrier Intended to Mark a Boundary Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary defines fence as “a barrier intended to prevent escape or intrusion to mark a boundary”. August Wilson’s Fences portrays the barrier around the Maxson family. “The setting is the yard which fronts the only entrance… The yard is a small dirt yard, partially fenced, except for the last scene…” (0.1-0.3). Throughout the play Wilson uses the description and placement of the fence to change the mood in the scene or the attitudes of the characters. “Much of the conflict… arises because the characters are at odds with the way they see the past and what they want to do in the future”(sparknotes.com). Whether the fence is too keep people in or out, there is always a struggle to know what is on the other side. Corresponding to the text, August Wilson’s own life is exemplified. Wilson uses “the settings of all but one of the plays [in] the Pittsburgh ‘hill district’” (Edgar 1328). During the early part of his life was spent living in poverty. Wilson’s father soon left the family by the time he was five leaving his mother, Daisy, to care for the six children. She later remarried and moved to the Hill District. Wilson felt the pressure of being one of the only African-American students and dropped out of school to teach himself in the library. “He educated himself so well that eventually the Library granted him a degree”(Edgar 1328). When writing Fences, Wilson pulled from the 1950s and the Civil Rights...

...Van Nguyen Paige Talbot English 099/101 Essay 1 Rough Draft April 17, 2016 One Day to Live Between Two Continents Have you ever traveled to different places that are far away from your homeland? There are many reasons why you should leave your home for a short or long period of time. It can be a trip to local areas or foreign countries. Everyone has particular emotional feelings when they experience their first times to go and live abroad. These experiences affect people’s lives positively. I am definitely not an exception because I also experienced the boundary day that shaped me into a different person when it was the first times for me to fly to and live in America. The warmful weather of summer in Seattle recalls continuous flowing of memories about my homeland. I spent most of my childhood time within this cherished area in South of Vietnam. Because our area belongs to Cuu Long Delta where its topography is crossed by many big rivers, my village includes many rambling old farmhouses that are embraced by a river on their front. At the rear of my village as well as my house, there are an immense number of rice fields spreading thoroughly to the horizon. These rice fields are believed to be the places where our village’s farmers work at. Seasonally, when it is time for harvest, the rice fields carpet turn into yellowish. Also, flying nest builders work hard to build their temporary homes by combinations of leaves and branches. Day after day, everything keeps going on...

...The body transgresses many boundaries; no matter how hard it tries to confine itself to its perfect dimensions. Dana, the protagonist in the novel Kindred by Ocatvia Butler, travels back in time to a different era in which she must learn to adapt or suffer dire consequences. The nameless narrator in the novel Bodies Out of Bounds by Jeanette Winterson leaves her lover when she finds out the latter has cancer. As pointed in the article, “Unbearable Weight” by Susan Bordo, society has hardwired into us that there is such a thing as the perfect body. All of these characters try disparately to attain perfection in their lives. There are various boundaries being crossed in Kindred. The most obvious being the different time eras. Dana is transported to the antebellum South where she meets her ancestors. She does not want to be there. However, she knows that if she does not keep saving Rufus, her very own existence is threatened. So she will do anything, however awful, to ensure that Hagar is born. Dana hopes that Rufus will not grow up to be like his father. The question of whether Dana can save hime from his culture is always omnipresent. Although she would much rather stay and live in her comfortable home in California, she is willing to leave it behind to save Rufus. Dana does not belong in this era and yet the fate of her family and her very self depend on her. The second obvious boundary that Dana crosses is landscape and geography-wise. California still was not part...

...Customer satisfaction level for online shopping using ACSI’s with respect to Indian shopping trends ABSTRACT Today is the Era of Globalization and the consumer is not bound within boundaries of a particular place to access products available in the outer world, now he can go beyond the boundaries of any market area where he lives, to access the things of his interest. But this virtual connectivity known as “ONLINE SHOPPING OR E-TAILING” is really a challenge for Indian customers to be associated with; they face some real time problems related to trust and quality. But the Indian shopping trend shows some rigid type of behavior towards online shopping. They do not trust this shopping style as they have to see and choose a product virtually and pay for it, without any kind of physical touch, which was really difficult to be done in Indian market, but in past 2-3 years the trends have changed at least in metros and big cities. This paper is aim to measure the customer satisfaction level using ACSI (American Customer’s Satisfaction Index), which will give us a deep insight of the market potential available in Indore for online shopping. It has been observed that Indore is adapting the changes in shopping trends in metros very quickly, they love to shop from home and enjoy online shopping. So the process of analysis of factor affecting customer satisfaction levels was initiated, ACSI Model uses the three manifest variables: Customer’s Expectation, Perceived Values and Over-all...

...When it comes to boundaries, it is imperative for counselors to set and know their boundaries with their clients. Boundary issues mostly refer to the therapist's self-disclosure, touch, exchange of gifts, bartering and fees, length and location of sessions and contact outside the office (Guthiel & Gabbard, 1993). In any professional relationship there is an inherent power imbalance. The therapist’s power arises from the client’s trust that the therapist has the expertise to help with his or her problems, and the client’s disclosure of personal information that would not normally be revealed. The fact that services cannot be provided unless clients are willing to cooperate, does not change the fundamental power imbalance (Gutheil, T. G., & Gabbard, G. 1998). Therefore, the therapist has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the client, and is ultimately responsible for managing boundary issues and is therefore, accountable should violations occur (Gutheil, T. G., & Gabbard, G. 1998). Given the power imbalance that is inherent in the professional/client relationship, clients may find it difficult to negotiate boundaries or to recognize or defend themselves against boundary violations. As well, clients may be unaware of the need for professional boundaries and therefore, may at times even initiate behavior or make requests that could constitute boundary violations. According to Lazarus & Zur, “A boundary violation occurs when a therapist crosses the line of decency and...

...will focus on one particular standard that is pervasive throughout all types of therapy: boundaries. Boundaries, in particular, is a subject of interest because they are often vague and misleading; a therapist’s reaction—such as a laugh—in one type of therapy may be ethically pure, but considered blatantly unethical in another setting. However, there are also ethical ‘slippery slopes’ that, regardless of the type of therapy, can potentially lead to boundary crossing (Pomerantz, 2013). Thus, the purpose of this paper will not be to discuss boundaries that are absolute, such as engaging in sexual relationships with clients or inflicting harm in any way. Rather we will examine how psychodynamic and cognitive approaches each have similar yet unique boundaries. Of course, the types of boundaries established are dependent on more than what type of therapy is used; establishing a positive rapport is equally important. The term ‘boundary’ comes from geography; boundaries can function as barriers or delineators (Brown & Stobart, 2007). There are certain boundaries in our daily life that are often broken but have minimal effect, such as a friend coming a few minutes late to a lunch date. However, therapy is a time when emotions—often having been suppressed—are at their highest. A secure and contained environment is thus crucial in order to foster a warm and comfortable session. When boundaries are broken in therapy, the client notices it with heightened sensibility. For instance, even...

...SOME PROBLEMS IN CONFORMAL MAPPING D. C. SPENCER 1. Introduction. Attention will be confined to a group of problems centering around so-called schlicht functions—that is, functions regular in a given domain and assuming no value there more than once. The type of problem we consider involves determination of precise bounds for certain quantities depending on the function/, as ƒ ranges over the schlicht functions in question. Since, for suitable normalization of the functions at some fixed point of the domain, the resulting family of functions is compact or normal, the extremal schlicht functions always exist and the problem is to characterize them. Interest was focused on this category of questions by the work of Koebe in the years 1907-1909, who established for the family of funct i o n s / o f the form ƒ(z) = z+a2Z2+aszz+ • • • , schlicht and regular in \z\ < 1 , a series of properties, among them the theorem of distortion bearing Koebe's name. This theorem asserts the existence of bounds for the absolute value of the derivative ƒ'(s), these bounds depending only on \z\. Further efforts were directed toward finding the precise values of the bounds asserted by Koebe's theorem, but success was not attained until 1916 when Bieberbach, Faber, Pick and others gave a final form to the theorem of distortion. At the same time the precise bound for | a2\ was given, namely 2, and the now famous conjecture was made that \an\ ^n for every n. Since 1916 this group of problems has attracted...

...HISTORY OF TUMBANG PRESO Tumbang Preso (pronounced as: tum-bahng preh-so) or presoan (tumba-patis in most Visayan regions). Is a traditional Filipino children's game. The tumbang preso is still played by the more active kids today. Even adults sometimes play it too, bringing back memories of their childhood. This is a very common game among the youth all over the Philippines. Played in backyards, parks or even in streets with very little vehicular traffic. When the Philippines hosted the World Robot Olympiad in 2010, the game "Tumbang Preso" was played. The equipment needed are an empty milk can, and a slipper or a piece of flat stone as a pamato for each player. To make the game enjoyable and exciting, there should be no more than 9 players. One player guards the milk can (the IT) while the others stay behind the toe-line with their pamatos. The object is for the players to hit and knock down the milk can with the pamato, and for the IT to put back the can inside a small circle a few meters away from the toe-line. When a player is tagged while recovering his pamato, he becomes the IT. HOW TO PLAY 1. An IT, the one to guard the milk can is chosen by throwing the pamato to the toe-line by all the players. Whoever's pamato is farthest from the toe-line is the IT. 2. The hitters will line up at the back of the toe-line and at a signal from the IT, game starts. 3. The pamato must be retrieved immediately once the can is knocked down; otherwise once the IT has placed...

...Boundaries Issues Ashley Decamp, Christina Karsen, Jose Cevallos, Katy Norris, Samantha Cruse, Monica Green BSHS 335 February 23, 2015 Mary Ann Little Boundaries Issues Human service professionals are taught to understand their client’s as well as the role they play in their life professionally. The most important part of that is understanding that it is a professional relationship and should be nothing more than that. Boundaries are put in place in many different parts of a person’s life to help them understand what they are to do and where they are to avoid. This is also something that is implemented with human service professionals. They are taught boundaries for themselves and given the tools to help their clients’ understand what their boundaries are. It is done so that the clients’ can receive the best possible help there is for them. The following is going to explore different boundaries and relationships between a client and the professional, what to avoid, and the best possible solutions if a boundary is compromised. Below is some examples of human services professionals, and clients experiencing the issues with boundaries. A caseworker for DHS-Child Welfare, receives an anonymous report, that a young child has been physically abused. After interviewing the child and reviewing family information, the caseworker realizes that this is the son of another women she attends a local Mom’s group with. The mother has spent time during recent group meetings...

...husband maintained the land up to the fence line since they acquired the property in 1987. We readily acknowledge that Carl Nolen testified that he maintained his property on the other side of the boundary line after the fence's [**6] construction. However, the opposing witnesses disputed that assertion. [*P13] HN4A trial court, as the trier of fact, is free to believe all, some or none of the testimony of any witnesses. Nolen v. Rase, 2013-Ohio-5680, P12-P13 (Ohio Ct. App., Scioto County Dec. 17, 2013) we find no error in the trial court's ruling regarding the boundary of the two properties. Accordingly, we hereby overrule both of appellants' assignments of error and affirm the trial court's judgment. | The doctrine of acquiescence is applied in instances when adjoining land owners occupy their respective propereties up to a certain line and mutually recognize and treat that line as if it is the boundary that separates their properties. See Robinson v. Armstrong, Guernsey App. No. 03CA12, 2004 Ohio 1463, at P35; McConachie v. Meeks (Sep. 21, 1999), Richland App. No. 98CA90, 1999 Ohio App. LEXIS 4736; Turpen v.

...two books I have chosen from the list provided are Boundaries written by Dr Henry Cloud and Dr John Townsend and the book titled Shame and Grace written by Lewis B Smedes. I had previously read the Boundaries book in 1997 when I was 27 years old. The book was recommended to me by a valued friend. I found the book to be both challenging and helpful to my personal growth and realized that it was a great tool that I could use, finding it to be practical to my needs. I learned to use these new tools that were discussed in the book in my life; through the use of modelling healthy boundaries to my son, as well as with friends and other relationships. So I thought re-reading this book would help me to identify areas that could be improved upon. I am aware that I am sometimes inconsistent in maintaining my boundaries with particular people. The topic of boundaries has always been a topic of particular fascination as they are so important in developing and maintain healthy relationships. I really struggled choosing my second book; I looked at many on the list and even started to read a few. I then decided the book titled Shame and Grace, written by Lewis B Smedes was easier and quicker to read. As my due date on my assignment was soon, a choice needed to be made, so I knew that I would be cutting it too close, if I kept on procrastinating. Which sections of the books material were particularly interesting to you? In the book Boundaries, I found the story of Sherrie of particular interest;...

...Many authors question the overall goal of university to due to its vague and misleading mission statements intended for future students. Mr. Stanley Fish wrote an enlightening and thought-provoking article regarding the task of higher education. Fish outlines two approaches to higher education, and what he believes education is supposed to do for students. He explains, College and university teachers can do (legitimately) do two things: (1) introduce students to bodies of knowledge and traditions of inquiry that had not previously been part of their experience; and (2) equip those same students with the analytical skills – of argument, statistical modeling, laboratory procedure – that will enable them to move confidently within those traditions and to engage in independent research after a course is over.1 Fish rejects the notion that university aids in the creation of civic-mindedness in students; because he believes moral character cannot be created or taught through an institution of education. Essentially, Fish argues that the overall task of higher education is to simply educate students; not for professors to act as activists for their own personal beliefs. The following essay will be speaking on three main components: the purpose of higher education, the antithesis of higher education and lastly, an overall critique of the limits of Fish’s approach to higher education. Firstly, Fish explains that higher education regards “the evaluation, not the celebration, of interests...
