...The Utility Lens is the next step of the Ethical Reasoning Model. In applying this lens we need to consider the following two questions: Do the benefits of the alternative action outweigh the costs of the alternative action? Will the alternative action benefit the most people? Leaving the nativity scene displayed would benefit claimants who support or identify with the Christian faith. Given the region where the school is located the majority of people involved in this case identify with a tradition Christian Christmas. Therefore, the alternative action would benefit the most people. However, the alternative action could have negative consequences. Allowing the bulletin board to remain could cause non-Christians to feel unrepresented within...

...Concave lenses have a negative optical power which compensates for the excessive positive dioptres of the myopic eye. Negative dioptres are generally used to describe the severity of the myopia, as this is value of the lens to correct the eye. Figure 2 shows the effect of concave lens in correcting the myopic eye. Power of a Lens: In concave lens, a collimated beam of light passing through the lens is diverged. The power of the lens can be calculated from the focal length of the lens. P = 1/f, where, P= Power of the lens and f = Focal length of the lens Simulation: The project uses Maya as the simulation tool for obtaining the 3D model of the glass. Various parts of the glass including the rim, temple are printed out using 3D printer. A LED light is attached to the left temple of the glass. This would improve the vision in low or dim light environment. As an improvisation from other glasses, the right temple consists of a model of microphone which would enable the person wearing the glass to attend calls easily. Figure 3 shows the 3D model of the glass in Maya Autodesk...

...The next lens in the Ethical Reasoning Model is the Equitable Treatment lens. This lens focuses on treating the claimants in a situation the same unless they are different in a way that is relevant to the case. In this case, we need to answer the question: Would allowing the nativity scene to remain be equitable to all involved? The claimants who object to the bulletin board could argue that those who hold to the Christian faith already outnumber those who do not and therefore should not be allowed to promote their beliefs. These complaints could be based on these individuals feeling that the Christian belief system already dominates the school district and the bulletin board makes it appear that other belief systems are not given equal display...

...The most interesting thing I observed in today’s microscope lab was that I was able to view algae from a sample of pond water. The total magnification which I made the observation was 450. Been able to see algae just with the sample of pond water is amazing because whenever I see pond water I never think about what it beholds I just thought of it as water and nothing spectacular. 2. In the plant cell I observed the chloroplast organelle. My observations for the chloroplast organelle was that the shape was a circle and very tiny. I also I learned that the function of the chloroplast organelle is to conduct photosynthesis. In the animal cell I observed the nucleus. My observations for the nucleus was that the shape was a oval. When you look through the microscope it looks like a nucleus inside of the nucleus. I also I learned that the animal cell of the nucleus is to hold genetic code (DNA). 3. If I looked at bacterial cells with the microscope, I would expect to see neither one. Due to bacteria is a prokaryotic cell. Though, bacteria cells is a living thing but it’s much simpler and smaller, with no nucleus and a simpler membrane. Animal cells are the ones that consist of a nucleus and plant cells are the ones that consist of a organelles. 4. Animal cells don’t need cell walls. The function of cell walls is to formulate structure and animal cells don’t require that because they need space to move around. 5. From the seven properties of life I was able to identify...

...For other uses, see Lens. A lens. Lenses can be used to focus light. A lens is an optical device which transmits and refracts light, converging or diverging the beam.[citation needed] A simple lens consists of a single optical element. A compound lens is an array of simple lenses (elements) with a common axis; the use of multiple elements allows more optical aberrations to be corrected than is possible with a single element. Lenses are typically made of glass or transparent plastic. Elements which refract electromagnetic radiation outside the visual spectrum are also called lenses: for instance, a microwave lens can be made from paraffin wax. The variant spelling lense is sometimes seen. While it is listed as an alternative spelling in some dictionaries, most mainstream dictionaries do not list it as acceptable.[1][2] Contents * 1 History * 2 Construction of simple lenses * 2.1 Types of simple lenses * 2.2 Lensmaker's equation * 2.2.1 Sign convention of lens radii R1 and R2 * 2.2.2 Thin lens equation * 3 Imaging properties * 4 Aberrations * 4.1 Spherical aberration * 4.2 Coma * 4.3 Chromatic aberration * 4.4 Other types of aberration * 4.5 Aperture diffraction * 5 Compound lenses * 6 Other types * 7 Uses * 8 See also * 9 References * 10 Bibliography * 11 External links * 11.1 Simulations History | This section requires expansion with: history...

...The use of 1 Microscopes Name: Khulud Abdulaziz Nazer ID: U00045236 September 23 2014 General biology lab Section: 13 T Instructor: Tasneem Obaid Introduction: Microscopes are instruments used to enlarge objects that are too small to be seen by one’s eyes. Microscopy is the science of the examination of small objects using microscopes. Technically we have two types of microscopes, the optical microscope which was first invented in late 1500s. It uses light and glass lenses (objectives) to magnify the image of an object up to 4X, 10X, 40X and a 100X. The second type is the electron microscope which was developed at early 1900s, it uses an electron beam in the place of light and electromagnets in the place of objectives to allow a much higher resolution up to two million times. In this experiment we will be using the optical microscope and not the electron microscope to examine specimens, as it is available in almost all the laboratories. In addition, the costs of the optical microscope is too low compared to that of the electron microscope. Moreover, the optical microscope can be stored in normal room temperature and pressure not requiring a vacuum as the electron one does. Materials: Compound light microscope and stereomicroscope. Prepared dry mount of the letter “e” . A plug. Method: First of all, we used a compound light microscope to assess the letter “e”. We followed the following procedure; A slide of dry mount of letter “e” was...

The first part of my table content will include safety, which in my opinion is the most important fact using a product, although there is not that much peril utilizing a microscope. After safety, I will have the introduction, which will provide brief information about different types of microscopes and how they differ in terms of the purpose they are used. I also will give brief descriptions about what a microscope is and what is exactly used for; assuming part of the audience doesn’t know that much about microscopes. I will explain about parts of the microscope and what function they have; parts such as eyepiece, objective lens, focus adjustment knob, stand column, and etc. I will put a figure showing each part so the audience has a better understanding of the microscope. I will mention all the parts that are included in the box and all the extra equipment needed for the assembly of the microscope such as screwdriver. After all that, I will start with how to operate the microscope with a quick start and also a detailed description on how to operate it, in case some of the audience is unfamiliar with a microscope. I will try to give a detail description on how to do each step on operating the microscope. After the description on how to operate the microscope, I will try to provide some information on...

... Procedure: I started by logging into the computer and completing the training module online. Then I went to the cart and brought the microscope over to my work area, making sure to carry the microscope by the arm and base. I uncovered and plugged in the microscope. I then went back to the cart and got a slide and slide cover, as well as a small glass bottle and dropper. I filled the small glass bottle with water and took everything back to my work area. I wrote a letter e on a piece of paper with a pen, pulled a strand of hair from my head and pulled a string off of my jacket. Then I turned on the microscope, prepared my slide and proceeded to look at each object under the microscope. Data: If the slide was too close or too far from the lens than you will not be able to see the specimen. The larger the magnification on the microscope the more detail that can be seen. The course and fine adjustment knobs move the slide up and down to help focus the specimen on the slide. The mechanical stage controls move the slide left and right, and forward and backwards. Findings: While observing the hair under the microscope I noticed that it is not smooth. The hair actually looks like it is made up of tiny scales. While observing the paper with the letter e written on it, I noticed that, just like the hair, the paper does not look smooth. The paper actually looks like a bunch of threads woven together like a birds nest. The ink on the paper only seemed to stick to the top layer or two of...

...As you embark on the question why did the people of Israel desire a king? You almost find yourself pondering when in 1 Samuel Chapter 7 you see the people thriving under the administration of Samuel’s leadership and it is a flip the scene in 1 Samuel Chapter 8. The people began crying out that they wanted a King because they no longer liked the way there issues were being resolved under the judges system. It leaves you with a thought that perhaps the people wanted a King because Samuel sons did not share his character but operated under bribery and injustice and I they looked the lens of other Nations and a King would be the answer. They people wanted a new government and new system but God desire was for them to experience great freedom both in government and as a Nation. They did not understand where God remind us in Jeremiah 23:11 that he knows the plans for our lives and when we begin creating the plans we will not get a God result. God reminds the people that this is not his plan for them and if they so desire a King he will grant the request. The issue is that God is an all-knowing God and He knows placing a King over the people will cause them to lose their liberty. In 1 Samuel 8 verse 11, God speaks to the rule and reign that a King will bring and yet the people still wanted a King. The issue that I found is that what looks good on the other side of the fence is not always greener. They were looking at other Nations and felt man’s governing rule was a greater...
