...UC San Diego Electronic Theses and Dissertations Peer Reviewed Title: Technology and society : some insights on the development of metallurgy in the Southern Levant in the light of new dates of slag deposits Author: Ben-Yosef, Erez Acceptance Date: 01-01-2008 Series: UC San Diego Electronic Theses and Dissertations Degree: M.A., UC San Diego Permalink: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/03f2f3vx Local Identifier: b6636008 Abstract: An ongoing project for reconstructing the behavior of the geomagnetic field intensity during the last seven millennia has yielded several new dates for archaeometallurgical sites in the Southern Levant. These dates shed new light on the dawn of metallurgy in the region as well as on the quality of technological development and its relation to social and political structures. This paper introduces the methodology and concepts behind the archaeomagnetic project as well as the principles of the applied dating technique. In addition, the paper presents the archaeomagnetic results, discusses the alternative dating of several archaeometallurgical sites and explores the implication of these results on our understanding of the interaction between technology and society in the past. For the latter, the results particularly challenge the "Standard View of Technology" (Pfaffenberger, 1992), and suggest a complex, nonlinear evolution of copper industry in the Southern Levant eScholarship provides open access, scholarly publishing services to the University of...

...two or more phases that may or may not be homogeneous in distribution, depending on thermal (heat treatment) history. Alloys usually have different properties from those of the component elements. Alloy constituents are usually measured by mass. Alloys are usually classified as substitutional or interstitial alloys, depending on the atomic arrangement that forms the alloy. They can be further classified as homogeneous, consisting of a single phase, heterogeneous, consisting of two or more phases, or intermetallic, where there is no distinct boundary between phases Examples: • Bronze (tin, aluminium or other element) • Aluminium bronze (aluminium) • Arsenical bronze • Florentine bronze (aluminium or tin) • Gunmetal (tin, zinc) • Glucydur • Phosphor bronze (tin and phosphorus) • Ormolu (Gilt Bronze) (zinc) • Speculum metal (tin) [pic] 1. Steel Composition: (Iron and other metals such as carbon) Properties: Hard, Less Ductile & have high Tensile Strength. Applications: Steel is used widely in the construction of roads, railways, other infrastructure, appliances, and buildings. Most large modern structures, such as stadiums and skyscrapers, bridges, and airports, are supported by a steel skeleton. Even those with a concrete structure will employ steel for reinforcing. In addition, it sees widespread use in major appliances and cars. Despite growth in usage of aluminium, it is still the main material...

...The discovery of metals People probably discovered how to extract metals from their ores by accident when rocks containing metal were heated with charcoal in fireplaces. A chemical reaction called reduction would have taken place which freed the metal from its ore. The same reaction is still used in blast furnaces to extract iron. The first metals The first metals worked by people were copper, gold and silver, probably because these are found as pure metals. In about 3500 BC, the Sumerians learned how to make bronze by combining copper and tin. Bronze is stronger than the pure metals. Iron was not used until around 1350 BC, probably because it needs much higher temperatures to separate it from its compounds. New metals Up until 1735 AD, the only known metals were copper, silver, gold, iron, mercury, tin, zinc, bismuth, antimony and lead. Aluminium was discovered in 1825. Now scientists can create new metal elements, such as mendelevium, by bombarding atoms with electrons in a particle accelerator, which is a type of nuclear reactor. The atoms break apart under the bombardment, enabling scientists to get a glimpse of their structure.

...Unit 1: Unit 1: Scientific Questions: Inquiry and Methods - Discussion What’s in the can? One afternoon, while finishing up your shift as the stock manager at Circus Supermarket, the store manager tells you that he desperately needs some help with an inventory problem. In the back of the store, he shows you an unmarked, unopened tin can and explains that the owners of the store are threatening to fire him and all his staff if they cannot keep track of the items that they sell. There are no inventory records to trace the origin of the can, so he asks you, the stock manager, to help him figure out what is inside. Unit 1: Unit 1: Scientific Questions: Inquiry and Methods - Discussion What’s in the can? My First question would be what type of warehouse was it, in what isle of the warehouse was the can found, what other cans surrounded the can if any. Were any of the cans in the isle similar looking to the one in question, if not what objects or labeling, or postings were found on the shelf surrounding the can in question. What is the shape of the can, is it in the shape of a cylinder, round, or square etc. etc. Even though there are no shipping documents of the origin of the can in question I would ask the manager for whatever shipping documents he has to see if something was missed and maybe trace what records there are and maybe see if this can came through with another shipment. I would ask my staff if they might remember anything though minute that might...

...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...

...Celtic Irish Music Name Institutional Affiliation Celtic music is a broad group of music genres that have emerged from the native folk music traditions of people of Western Europe, such as the Irish. Throughout history, Ireland has been associated with music. Irish music history dates back over 2000 years when the Celts arrived in Ireland. Irish clerics are known for writing some of the earliest folk songs. One of the twelve disciples of Ireland, St Columcille (521-5797 AD), described that the clerics of Ireland had the ability to “sing like birds”. Irish music has remained vibrant in this 21st century having gained global recognition. This is unlike most European countries that have lost their native folk songs. Traditional Irish songs are full of culture over two millenniums they have been existing. Irish culture has been preserved in the form of songs, stories, and tunes. This music has been passed down from generation to generation. The most common method was by parents teaching their children the music. Irish clerics are well known to write folk songs. Although of slight changes in the traditional Irish music, it has still been able to keep most of its traditional aspects. Irish children are still taught Irish songs and to play traditional instruments rather than modern music instruments. Parents are also keen to carry on Celtic Irish traditions. The Celtic harp is the best known of all traditional instruments. The harp was most dominant between...

I found some friends on the way to the castle. The trip was long and hard but we made it there after what felt like years. When I saw the wizard I was in awe he had a great throne. I was very nervous and a little excited. I was about to back out and go home but my friends encouraged me to stay. The wizard asked me what I needed I was trembling in fear. I told him I need a heart to love again. I said “I need a heart to love again because I want to marry the munchkin girl but I need a heart to do that. The wizard asked for more reasons so I gave him more....

...can enchant; Dorothy's friends believe in the gifts the Wizard bestows upon them. Oz is a breathtaking world, yet Dorothy yearns to return to the bleakness of Kansas; Baum celebrates both opposing environments. There are good witches and bad witches, North and South and East and West, the first chapter mirrors the last chapter, Dorothy is disappointed by the Wizard twice. There is also a very repetitive cast to the writing. Each of the characters explains their wish to the Wizard in the same way, one after the other. Each of them is told the same thing by the Wizard. When Dorothy talks to her friends they often answer her one after the other. The Wicked Witch sends her minions out one after the other. The Wizard meets with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion one after the other, their experiences and conversations proceeding in the exact same fashion. Baum's use of repetition provides structure and order to a fantastical book. It keeps the text sane and establishes the irrefutable reality of Oz and the events transpiring there. Page 15 / Simile – “It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings.” Importance – This simile is important because it sums up how important Toto is in Dorothy’s life. Everything surrounding Dorothy in Kansas was boring and gray, including the grass, the paint on her house, and even the faces of her aunt and...

...Campbell should market soup in a new container under a different brand name? What options does the firm have ? Campbell controls 80 percent of the canned soup market,.. it is a market leader and has great brand image. Campbell’s decision to develop a new package reflects an emphasis for providing customer satisfaction by knowing and meeting consumer preferences.Campbell is also interested in attracting a new market – people who have shunned canned soup, particularly convenience-minded singles.

...Crown Cork & Seal in 1989 Teaching Note I introduce the class by remarking that John Connelly ran Crown Cork & Seal for over 30 years and followed essentially the same strategy for the entire period. The total return to shareholders over the 32-year period was just under 20% compounded. Now that Connelly has stepped down as CEO and given control to William Avery, is it finally time for a change? I begin by asking what are the key strategic issues facing Avery in the summer of 1989. Question 1. What are the key strategic issues that Avery needs to consider? What strategic options are open to him? Here I just want to develop the list and save the analysis of the issues until the end of class. The list of issues should include some of the following: (1) The old Continental Can is apparently for sale either in whole or in part. Should Avery consider bidding on some or all of the business? (2) Metal containers are very slow-growth and plastics is forecast to make significant inroads. Should Avery consider entering plastics? If so, in what segments, and should they build their capability or acquire someone? Who? (3) Expand the product line to a full line of metal containers, not so focused on beverage and aerosol? (4) Diversify into other packaging materials and product categories? (5) Diversify into other less-related businesses? (6) Exit, or sell the business? How should we go about addressing these issues? Presumably we should analyze the appropriateness...

It is also an intimate book, attentive to childhood memories of people and neighbourhoods. In both these respects, subject and method, the novel has sources which influenced and informed its construction, and these will be discussed in more detail below. One of them is the novel The Tin Drum by Günter Grass, first published in German in 1959. In 1985, Rushdie paid this tribute to Grass and to the novel: In the summer of 1967 . . . when I was twenty years old, I bought from a bookshop in Cambridge a paperback copy of The Tin Drum . . . There are books that open doors for their readers . . . And then there are readers who dream of becoming writers . . . [For them] there are (if they are lucky) books which give them . . . permission to become the sort of writers they have it in themselves to be. This is what Grass's great novel said to me in its drumbeats: Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody minded. Argue with the world. This was four years after the publication and great triumph of his own Midnight's Children, a novel which...

...Something Deeper Jada McGinnis 10/10/14 4th Hour Mr.Koch Film, Lit. and the Media “Just a childrens story or something deeper?” is the question that’s on the minds of many when discussing the classic novel, “The Wonderful Wizard of OZ”. The heart of the book involves a “Brainless” Scarecrow, a “Heartless” Tinman, a “Cowardly” Lion, a “Bad” Witch, a “Good” Witch, a wizard deemed as The Great Oz and a little girl named Dorothy who just wanted to get back home. All aspects that would make you believe it to be just a children’s story and nothing more right? Wrong! When author, L. Frank Baum created The Wizard of OZ maybe he had something else up his sleeve; a deeper meaning. The Wonderful Wizard of OZ was written in the 1900’s during the collapse of the populist movement. Making it to believe that, The Wonderful Wizard of OZ is nothing but a Political Allegory. It was reported that author Frank L. Baum was a political activist in the 1890’s who showed a great deal of interest in the question of “gold and silver”. The question of Gold and Silver being whether or not both silver and gold should be used as currency ( Bryan’s side) or the economic account being based on a fixed quantity of gold (the Republicans side). To put the controversy in a simpler form; you had two sides, “free silver” (Bryan) and “sound money” (Republicans). In Baums’, The Wonderful Wizard Of OZ, the “Yellow Brick Road” would represent the Gold standard and the silver slippers; most commonly known as ruby...
