...for this first simple step is therefore: 2(Fe O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e2 Fe + O2 + 2 H2O Fe2+ + 2 e-) 4 OH2 Fe(OH)2 Iron(II) hydroxide is insoluble but its green color is almost never observed because it is ordinarily further oxidized by the oxygen: 2 Fe(OH)2 + ½ O2 + H2O → 2 Fe(OH)3 The final product (when dry) has the reddish-brown flaky character we associate with rust. Although the reaction that produces Fe(OH)2 is technically an equilibrium process (all electrochemical processes are) the value of Kc is very large (>1099 at 298 K) and left unchecked it will go to completion. But the rate is relatively slow under normal atmospheric conditions and so it is still possible to manipulate the equilibrium somewhat by changing appropriate factors. The rates of corrosion reactions--and presumably their mechanisms--vary widely. Factors which influence the progress of the net reaction in the first step of the oxidation of iron may have an effect on the overall rate. The nature of the oxide product is also very important in affecting the extent of the corrosion. For example, aluminum is a very active metal, but its oxide, Al2O3, is very dense and forms a thin protective layer on the metal which discourages further corrosion. In contrast, iron rust (hydrated forms of Fe2O3 such as reddish-brown Fe(OH)3) is typically flaky and easily crumbles off to continually expose fresh metal for reaction. Although the mechanism for corrosion is not always well understood, it is clear how to prevent it. The...

...and when? How can a viewer monitor their viewing as well as their children’s in a manner that will benefit them both? And what is the solution for those who watch television for hours on end, giving up employment, schooling and other important duties? These answers are all generalized in that television effects almost every aspect of the lives of Americans. Television has become nearly unavoidable and American society is more affected by television than they realize. According to Nielsen Media Research, the average TV household in the United States now owns two sets, which are watched just over 30 hours every week by the typical American adult (Mahler 12). American society is more affected by television than is realized. Television offers thin slices of the real word, becoming a version of reality that is created by numerous components from mechanical parts to people, making up the medium of television. Because what is heard and seen on TV is a lot like what is experienced in real life, it’s easily and unconsciously...

...by anorexia nervosa, and they are all serious health issues. Sufferers of AN will get anxiety and have an excessive fear of being fat and putting on weight. However, the opposite happens as they lose weight as a consequence of starving themselves. If their weight drops below 85% of their average weight then they will be diagnosed with AN. They have body image distortion and see themselves as fat, rather than their real image, which is bad for their self esteem and extends their disorder. Amenorrhoea occurs and after 3 months, it is a clinical characteristic of anorexia, because the lack of nutrition means your body wouldn't be prepared to provide for a baby to it stops the menstrual cycle. The media is full of thin models and air brushed photographs which portrays thin as the 'perfect' body image. Adolescents with low self-esteem- particularly females- are largely influenced by this and compare themselves to the images of models and celebrities (Jones and Buckingham 2005). This can lead to girls losing weight to reach the 'perfect' image that their idols have. This is supported by Becker (2002) who studied teenage girls from Fiji and found that after the introduction of T.V. in 1995, the girls stated that they wanted to have the figures of the actresses and lose weight. Not only does it show media effects, but it shows it is applicable to other cultures who are usually less exposed to media. However it has been found that giving people awareness and instructional intervention...

...closely with the latter theory. Joyce’s character faces the ostensibly unconquerable conflict between her own personal happiness and the welfare of her family, with arduous sufferings pushing her to the arms of her boyfriend Frank and a sense of dutiful devotion anchoring her home. In “Eveline” of Dubliners, Joyce demonstrates the impregnability of familial bonds and duties and the need for familiarity of environment, for Eveline ultimately is unable to take the easy escape route from her harsh life, proving the family and household milieu to be an intuitive, yet acutely powerful, drawing force. While contemplating the decision to abandon her family, Eveline cannot help but dwell on her comfort in and closeness to the environment around her. Sitting at the window, watching the “evening invade the avenue” (Joyce 25), Eveline exclaims, subconsciously and panic-stricken, “Home! She looked around the room, reviewing all its familiar objects, which she had dusted once a week for so many years…never dreamed of being divided,” (25-26). Notice the sudden exclamatory use of the expression “Home!” which interjects almost violently amongst the nostalgic, peaceful, and sleepy stories of her childhood. Eveline’s subconscious demonstrates a sense of terror and anxiety to the reader, a genuine fear of separation. Like a fish floundering for air, Eveline must discard the thoughts of departure in which she drowns, and in their stead must breath in the air of acquainted sights- her eyes find solace...

...Literary Analysis In “The Old Man and the Sea” Ernest Hemingway writes about an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago. The story begins with Santiago fishing alone after having gone eight-four days without catching a fish. A boy, Manolin, fishes with Santiago for the first forty days, but Manolin’s father subsequently forbids him to continue fishing with the old man because the village perceives Santiago to be unlucky and too old to fish. On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago, alone, departs for the sea before sunrise. This begins Santiago’s exhausting three-day struggle to capture and bring home an enormous marlin; thereby redeeming himself to the villagers. The first day Santiago hooks the marlin, only to have it drag his skiff far out to sea. He knows he is not prepared to be out to sea so far and keeps hoping the marlin will come up for air so he can kill it with a spear. The second day the reader rejoices. Santiago kills the marlin only to find the fish too large to fit in the skiff. The old fisherman lashes the fish to the side of the skiff and hopes the sharks won’t attack. The third day sharks attack the dead marlin again and again. Santiago tries to protect his prize catch but is ill prepared. The sharks are unrelenting and leave only the marlin’s skeleton for Santiago to bring to the village. In this novella, Hemingway unites the reader with setting, character, and conflict to tell a tale of “grace under pressure.” Cuba and the Gulf Stream is the setting for...

For other uses,. | A 2.5" SATA hard drive | | | Invented by | | A disassembled and labeled 1997 HDD laying atop a mirror. Overview of how an HDD functions A hard disk drive (HDD)[b] is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material.[2] An HDD retains its data even when powered off. Data is read in a random-access manner, meaning individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than sequentially. An HDD consists of one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces. Introduced by IBM in 1956,[3] HDDs became the dominant secondary storage device for general purpose computers by the early 1960s. Continuously improved, HDDs have maintained this position into the modern era of servers and personal computers. More than 200 companies have produced HDD units, though most current units are manufactured by Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital...

...Literary Analysis of “Paul’s Case”: by Willa Cather Paul, the protagonist, suffers from a common problem that all adolescents have experienced at one time or another past or present that of being different from their peers and not feeling like they have been dealt a fair hand in life. “They made for him a part of the ugliness of the world, of the ache in head, and the bitter burning on his tongue” (Cather, par. 63). Paul’s failure to conform results in a flair of individuality that alienates him from the outside world in Willa Cather’s “Paul’s Case: A Study in Temperament” and the film of the same name directed by Lamont Johnson. Paul’s inability to conform to the expectations of his environment lead to a tortured climax in this story...

...Last week I experienced a chilling illustration of the phrase “No publicity is bad publicity”. I was reading about how David Nicholls, author of One Day, which, back in 2010, peppered many a British-holidaymaker-strewn poolside (making those poolsides deliciously seasoned with accessible fiction – it’s fine, I’m on top of this), and was subsequently made into a successful film starring that thin actress, you know the one. OK, I realise that hardly narrows down the options – they’re narrowed down by the demands and constraints of a body-image-obsessed patriarchy, which insists they have no dinner. But yes, there are lots of thin actresses. But this one’s really thin. Come on, you remember – she had that award-winning haircut in the miserable musical, same name as Shakespeare’s wife. Something to do with a cottage. I’d Google her if I had time. Anyway, she’s in it. I feel I’ve left a sentence open somewhere there – a dangling demi-clause (as when the Christmas float sped under the low bridge). Yes! That’s it: David Nicholls was explaining to the Cheltenham literature festival why there was such a long gap between One Day and his latest novel, Us. Which wasn’t that he refused to rush his new novel – it was that he didn’t. Refuse to, that is. He did rush it, is what I’m saying. What he specifically did was download a piece of software called Write or Die that requires you to bang the words out at a certain rate or it starts deleting them. Nicholls described it as like “writing...

...something that was based off of the idea of someone before us. One example for this would be the movie Inception (2010), directed by Christopher Nolan. In this movie the depiction between the idea of a dream and reality is extremely contrasted to the point where it is difficult to draw the line between what is or is not real. The mind boggling adventure of this movie makes us wonder; did the director draw this idea from thin air? The answer is no. In fact, the animated film Paprika (2007), directed by Satoshi Kon directly resembles the ideas and concepts of Inception. This is because Paprika served as a basis for Christopher Nolan in his movie Inception. Movies, concepts, and ideas are always being interpreted or rephrased in different forms. Aside from these two movies, there are other works that are very similar by concept. Two pieces of work that will be discussed further in detail are, the philosophical work, Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” and Lana Wachowski’s movie, The Matrix. Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave walks the readers through a dialogue between a character named Glaucon and Plato’s former teacher, Socrates. They discuss the predisposed beliefs of humans and how those beliefs cause them to create a false reality in which they live. Plato claims that our perceptions are not true, they only reflect what really is. He also claims that if we were to see the Truth, it would be extremely difficult for us to believe it...

...Media Literacy I have advocated for 30 years that, in order to preserve our democracy and protect ourselves against demagogues, we should have courses in schools on how to watch TV, how to read newspapers, how to analyze a speech – how to understand the limitations of each medium and make a judgment as to the accuracy or the motives involved. (Cronkite) Media’s influence on society is powerful and far-reaching because they introduce us to new and different images that affect our personalities and perceptions of the world we live in. A report by the Free Expression Policy Project has shown that media glamorize violence, sex, drugs, and alcohol; reinforce stereotypes about race, gender, and class; and prescribe the lifestyle to which one should aspire, and the products one must buy to attain it (Hines and Cho 2). If society wants to correct these negative influences of media, Walter Cronkite’s message on the need for media literacy is therefore imperative. Media literacy, defined by AMLA as the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate information in a variety of forms, will empower us to be both critical thinkers and creative producers of a wide range of messages using image, language, and sound (Center for Media Literacy). By becoming media literate, it is hope that we will have a better understanding of ourselves, our communities, and our diverse culture. To showcase the importance of media literacy, analyses of news and commercial media are...

...is a prevalent theme. No matter what solitary journey we find ourselves on, ‘we’ determine how the journey ends. The solitary journey that each of these literary pieces share is presented differently in each inditing. Robert Frost designed “The Road Not Taken” with specific designs in the narrative that revealed for me as the reader that there was a forthcoming journey. Frost also utilized the word “I” many times, which sanctioned me to imagine him alone. Comparative to this example let us compare “A Worn Path” where Welty utilized the word “she” throughout the writing piece. The linguistic choice inspired my imagination to visualize a woman walking alone. This visualization was reinforced in other places of the writing when the character spoke to animals to get out of her way: “Out of my way, all you foxes, owls, and beetles”. When Welty posed this conversation in the story, it gave me a sense of solitude. The submission that the woman also was walking a uphill path provided the symbolic comparison to a ‘hard life’. Walking uphill for any length of time is exhausting for anyone and when you add the notion of being elderly, it brings pity to this woman walking...

The Mod is a British subculture which developed in the 1960's. The first stage of this study involves introducing the subcultural theories attributed to the Mod character and the basic roles of masculinity. The second stage introduces a proposed framework used as a methodology in interpreting these signs. A particular reference is the use of Roland Barthes 'Camera Lucida' (Barthes 1982).

...Research Essay Effects Of Media On Teenagers In the last 10 to 15 years, the influence of media has grown exponentially with the advancement of technology. Starting from 1990s, the majority of our population did not have cable, teenagers back then relied more on news papers, magazines as internet was considered a luxury for the ordinary population at that time. With the passage of time, trends changed. Technological advancements and an economic boom have lead to increases in the standard of living. Teenagers have been exposed to media like never before. Cable networks and internet that were once luxuries have now become necessities. Media has a great influence in the development of a teenager’s personality and character. “The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses,” said the American black militant leader Malcolm X (qtd. in Krishna). The power or influence of media can easily alter or change a teenager’s opinion. This means that media can depict an ordinary thing so negatively that it may compel people to believe or act in quite the opposite way. So it is necessary to analyze the effects of media on teenagers because of the influence it has on them. Media can be both helpful and harmful to teenagers. But the negative effects of Media on teenagers clearly outweigh the positive ones which is becoming a great worry for the...
