...Transition to College Being nervous about the first day of college was definitely how I felt before starting. I knew that I was walking onto a campus more than four times the size as my high school and I was scared about getting lost. Luckily on the first day I was able to locate all of my classes because I had my little map out but that first week I made it late to one or two classes because I could not find how to get to a certain building that was off campus. Having a class that was actually off campus was something I did not realize could be possible but fortunately enough it is. As a commuter I could say that the college life is a lot more fun in high school because in a way you have more freedom but one could have the total freedom if they were able to dorm. Commuting almost an hour away every day is a pain in the butt, but the fact that I don’t have classes on Friday definitely makes up for it for me! They say that as life goes on you move on to bigger and better things. That is definitely true especially when it comes to school but you also move on to harder things as well. When people say that college is not easy they definitely mean it. My first semester as a freshman has not been quite too easy. Sometimes you get assigned a lot of work but then again compared to high school; you have more time to work on those assignments since you are not in school for the entire day. These are the times when I am definitely going to miss high school and I am only going to miss...

...Any kind of change is terrifying. Whether it be from trying a different haircut to moving to a different city. One of the most recent transitions I’ve experience is the transition from high school to college. There are many different aspects about college that makes it a scary transition. However, my shift from high school life to a college life was not as bad as I expected. When it comes to the educational part college is a bit more different from high school, but not as much. The class structure and content is really different. In college you receive syllabus where the assignments and due dates are included, therefore, you have no excuse to say you were not aware of the assignments. It also includes the topics that will be discussed in each...

...school student remembers the stressful experience of preparing for college. Quite frankly, I never really understood the concept of college. In my opinion, it was just another ordinary school transition unlike the ones I had already experienced. I envisioned it be something along the lines of my middle school to high school transition. Yet, to my surprise, it was nothing of the like. It was not until my college transition, that I finally felt I was at a disadvantage in comparison to some of my classmates. It was also during this time that I realized I was a First-Generation College Student because neither of my parents had attended college and I was the first of my family to do so. Nevertheless, as a child, I never questioned the...

...Going to college is one of the biggest milestones in a teenager’s life; it is a time where you are changing from a teenager in high school to an adult going to a college. But it is not an easy transition. Sometimes, people can find themselves confused in the challenging transition with trying to figure out where your classes are, how you are going to meet new friends, and figure out how you are going to have enough time to study and do classwork for all of your classes that are time consuming. As you are going through all the confusion and stress of your transition you also have another thing to pile onto your busy schedule, which is gaining leadership experience. Campus leadership can be anything from a club or an organization that is on campus that peaks your interest, or it could be something like volunteering anywhere in the UCF community. Campus leadership is very important, because if you are interested in gaining experience for a possible job that can began your career it is a perfect way to gain that experience....

...As of recent, my transition to college has been a difficult one. I did not begin college immediately after graduating high school, instead allowing myself a few months in order to recuperate and work to assist my mother before pursing my major in Chemistry. Initially, she was against the idea of finding work, as there were concerns for my health, however, since recently escaping from years of domestic abuse, we are desperately trying to maintain our freedom. Predictably, I was unable to properly take care of my mental health, due to environmental and work stressors, and succumbed to my ailments, including severe depression, and generalized anxiety disorder. My spring semester of college was the most difficult times, because my mother and I...

...Over the past years, I have had to adapt and persevere in situations I believed to be tough, if not impossible. The adaptation I had to make were to my transition from different high (regular public to magnet) and from high school to college. During my sophomore year in high school, I transferred from a public to a magnet school. I went from having no honors classes and barely any homework to AP classes and tons of readings each night. I struggled to feel comfortable and secure with myself as I began to doubt myself. After about a month and a half, I started to get the pace of my new school and was excelling at the level and better than some of the other students that have been there since middle school. Then, as I began my undergraduate studies,...

...1 ) Explain how kinetic energyand potential energy determine the properties of the three states and phase changes, what occurs when heat is added or removed from a substance and how to calculate the enthalpy change. Answer In a gas, the potential energy (energy of attraction) is small to the kinetic energy thus, on average, the particles are far apart. This large distance has several macroscopic consequences : a gas fills its container, is highly compressible, and flows easily through another gas. In a liquid , attractions are stronger because the particles are touching, but they have enough kinetic energy to move randomly around each other.Thus, a liquid conforms to the shape of its container but has a surface ; It resists an applied force and thus compresses very slightly ; and it flows, but much more slowly than gases. In a solid, the attractions dominate the motion so much that the particles are fixed in position relative to one another, just jiggling in place. Thus, a solid has its own shape, compresses even less than liquids, and does not flow significantly. Each phase change has a name and an associated entalphy change : Gas to liquid, and vice versa. As the temperature drops, the molecules in the gas come together and form a liquid in the process, changing from a liquid to gas, is vaporization. Liquid to solid, and vice versa. As the temperature drops further, the particles move slower and become fixed in position in the process of freezing ; In common speech...

It is a country steeped with a long and chequered past and the history books will show that it deserves its place amongst world leaders. In the last century China has experienced some of its most turbulent years and only in the very latter part of the century has it come to overthrow the oppressive shackles that have haunted the nation from the Mao era. However the case could be argued that the Mao era may have been the catalyst for much of the good that can be found in the Chinese approach to growing a stable economy. Rather than introducing radical reforms and provoking social unrest, the Deng era of Chinese rule introduced a two-track transition process that has allowed the country to gradually move from a centrally planned economy to a wiser free market one. China’s “two track transition” resonates from the countries understandably negative outlook on radical reforms given the countries...

...Sealing mechanism: 1) Radial shaft seals: Radial shaft seals, also known as lip seals, are used to seal rotary elements, such as a shaft or rotating bore. It is widely used for in applications of full submersion of seal and shaft. Advantages: - Aviods leakage sufficientally - Prevent contamination which can harm components of the system. Operating conditions ( pressurized conditions) : Pressure ≤ 10 bar Temp -30 to 140oc Design: Lip ring with spiral spring for radial preloading Short but pressure stiff flexible, spring- preloaded sealing lip. 2) Stuffing box ( Gland seal) : The stuffing box prevents sea water from entering the UV hull. In many cases the stuffing box is mounted inboard near the point the shaft exits the hull. Design: The "box" is a cylindrical assembly, typically of bronze, comprising a sleeve threaded on one end to accept adjusting and locking nuts. A sound stuffing box installation is critical to safety because failure can admit a catastrophic volume of water into the UV Advantages: In a common type of stuffing box, rings of braided fiber, known as shaft packing or gland packing, form a seal between the shaft and the stuffing box. Ideally, the compression is just enough to make the seal both watertight when the shaft is stationary and drip slightly when the shaft is turning. 3) End face mechanical seal: An end face mechanical seal uses both rigid and flexible elements that maintain contact at a sealing interface and slide...

...Quantum-Criticality in Dissipative Quantum Two-Dimensional XY and Ashkin-Teller Models: Application to the Cuprates Vivek Aji and C. M. Varma Physics Department, University of California, Riverside, CA 92507 In a recent paper1 we have shown that the dissipation driven quantum phase transition of the 2D xy model represents a universality class where the correlations at criticality is local in space and power law in time. Here we provide a detailed analysis of the model. The local criticality is brought about by the decoupling of infrared singularities in space and time. The former leads to a Kosterlitz Thouless transition whereby the excitations of the transverse component of the velocity field (vortices) unbind in space. The latter on the other hand leads to a transition among excitations (warps) in the longitudinal component of the velocity field, which unbind in time. The quantum Ashkin-Teller model, with which the observed loop order in the Cuprates is described maps in the critical regime to the quantum xy model. We also discuss other models which are expected to have similar properties. arXiv:0901.4758v2 [cond-mat.supr-con] 29 Apr 2009 The dissipative quantum 2D xy model was introduced2,3 to describe experiments on ultrathin granular Superconducting films, where it was observed that above a normal-state sheet resistance of order RQ = h/4e2 the resistivity does not decrease towards 0 even at the lowest temperatures studied.4 . The granular superconductor is represented...
