...Abstract An abstract should be one paragraph of 100-200 words. It summarizes four essential aspects of the experiment or report: the purpose, key findings, main significance, and major conclusions. This information helps readers decide whether they need to read the whole report. Sample Abstract This report presents the separation of a 10%mol ethanol-water mixture with a 28-stage distillation column. Both finite and infinite reflux runs were performed, each at a high supply steam pressure (80 Kpa) to the reboiler and at a low pressure (70 Kpa). Murphree and point efficiencies were calculated for the active stages sampled after steady-state operation had been achieved. The values obtained fluctuated greatly because of inaccuracy associated with determining the ethanol composition. Because of these fluctuations, we did not observe an increase in efficiency as steam pressure increased. We also did not observe an increase in efficiency for infinite runs in comparison with the finite runs. Global efficiencies, calculated for each run, ranged from 56% to 88%. Also for each run, mass and energy balances were performed. The significant heat losses obtained were mostly likely because of the absence of insulation and the presence of air drafts near the column. Energy balances over the condenser and reboiler showed actual heat gains from the environment which is unlikely and probably due to error associated with stream enthalpy estimations. For all runs, heat transfer coefficients...

...that you can use in your career? Yes! there are a lot of help with the interviews and that you need to pay attention to the cause if you don't you can mess up and there is a lot of career ides in here that you can learn from just like I'm going to school for nursing and you can mess up on that and in this book they tell you if you don't know thing ask to get a better understanding cause if you don't you will mess up and will not know what to do and how to do it cause it's a lot of things about nursing and if you don't know about it that's not good and it lot of people want to go for nursing but if you don't know better ask cause nursing is one of the jobs you need to know everything about it and more cause if you don't bad things and stuff will happened and that is not good. 6.Were there any ideas that you already knew? Yes! when they tell us to focus and if we don't know what it's about we need to ask are just go tutoring or do something that will help. If you don't know you need to go get a basic understanding I only know a couple of things not that much cause I only know the things that is not that serious but serious. 8.What was your favorite part? The best part to me is in the stories were they tell us what they thinking and how they fill and what's going on in the head and some time I feel the same way and say they same things about the class and I say thing about the teacher and also when they give you fact about interview and other things that will help you with...

...One time management strategy I use to maximize my time and reach my goals is starting with a plan every week. I try this by creating a calendar for the duration of each class, and using the syllabus to determine what I have due on what day. Organizing my work with a calendar is a great way to utilize my time because it will allow me to complete assignments in an organized and timely manner; it will also allow me to see a progression of ideas which will in turn help me better understand the information I am supplied with. 2. Another time management strategy is assembling all the materials i will need ahead of time. i should try to have the syllabus, reading materials, and other important papers printed out and assembled at the beginning of my class. This will allow me to access my learning materials at any time or place. This will also allow me to prepare for my assignments ahead of time, and it will help me save time when assignments that are due because i will already have the necessary information and documents available. 3. I think using a personal planner is a great way to stay organized, and everyone should get one. If you do not like using a personal planner there are many other similar options. Many email servers provide you with calendars, and many cell phones also have applications that can serve this purpose. It is important to have all the necessary deadlines organized in an easily accessible place in order to reduce stress and achieve your goals. 4. I enjoy the satisfaction...

...measures reactions such as changes in skin conductance, pulse rate, blood pressure, and breathing while the subject is asked a series of questions. From that data, it makes an indirect assumption that positive physiological responsive indicate dishonesty and vice versa. When taking a polygraph test, proctors use several different tactics to elicit responses from their subjects. One is called the "relevant-irrelevant" technique, which mixes questions like "Did you steal the money?" in with questions like "Is today Tuesday?" Questions that are relevant to the topic are suppose to cause a jump within the subject’s autonomic system and in turn would produce results on the polygraph. Another tactic that is commonly used is "comparison questions" this process is similar to relevant-irrelevant questioning except all of the questions pertain to the subject at hand (APA, 2004). For example, in a sex-crime investigation a suspect might be asked embarrassing control questions such as "Have you ever committed a sexual act you were ashamed of?" along with questions pertaining more directly to the case. The idea here is that the...

...In this course I have learned much about myself, as well as other people, more so than I ever thought I would, and with this knowledge comes a great responsibility. When this class first started I only expected to learn the very basics of psychology like the different approaches to psychology from behaviorism, structuralism, functionalism, humanism, psychoanalysis, and other things. Not only did I learn about the essentials of psychology, but I also learned a great deal about myself and my past life experiences. This class has forced me to look deep within myself and confront my psychological demons. Doing that has helped me become more understanding and accepting of why I am the person I am today and what I can do to change certain things. Without the help of Psychology 101 and words of wisdom from my instructor I would still have no clue as to who I am as a person, and who I want to be, as well as what my purpose in life is. I have gained more confidence in myself this semester than I've ever had in my entire life. I feel more enlightened about many aspects of life, especially when it comes to understanding other people. I feel like this class has also helped rid me of the anxiety that I faced. In this paper I will discuss how this class has changed certain aspects of my life, how I've grown to overcome certain psychological hang-ups, and how I plan to use this knowledge in my future...

...March 11, 2014 TPCAST of “This is a photograph of me” by Margaret Atwood Title: The title of this poem can mean that this is an autobiography of the author or how she sees herself physically. Paragraph: It starts with the description of a photo, what it has and what’s visible to see. Then takes a dramatic turn pointing out that she drowned there, in a lake in the middle, and nobody can see her. Talking how the woman are not treated equally as men. Connotation: It has a deep meaning trying to show how society treats and sees women. Point of view: First person. Imagery: The imagery of the setting is important. All of the imagery is about beauty and perfection even when drowning leading that too much perfection is toxic. Form: Free verse Symbolism: The entire second stanza is a symbolism representing how society sees men more powerful than women. Attitude: The tone used in here is peaceful when describing the scenery. The author at the start sounds peaceful and good with herself; actually all throughout the poem she sounds nice but she actually feels shadowed by society. She asks to the reader that please look for her drowning even in all that beauty. Shifts: I think there’s only one shift in here and it’s when the parenthesis starts and she says “The photograph was taken after I drowned, maybe trying to mock or dramatic. Title#2: Now the title seems more significant. She explains it that even if she is in the picture, she is not the picture, just a part of it. And then...

...Theology Article The following paper is a response to the article, “Why Did God Make Me This Way? Anger at God in the Context of Personal Transgressions”, written by Joshua B. Grubbs and Julie J. Exline. I will summarize the key points of the experiment and its results. Then, I will reflect on a real life example pertaining to the subject. Lastly, I will compare this experiment to the idea of determinism taught during this semester. The article determined “how anger at God may be related to the experience of personal moral transgression” (Grubbs & Exline, 2014, p. 315). I came to realize while reading the article that moral transgressions could better be defined as sin in the Christian worldview. The basic idea is that people become angry with God when their sin is believed to be a result of their unchangeable identity or an unchangeable circumstance. The first part of the experiment “specifically tested how transgressions resulting from immutable aspects of the self may be related to negative evaluations of God” (Grubbs & Exline, 2014, p. 317). The participants were given a scenario in which a being created by a deity was unable to follow moral code because of a genetic defect. The participants were then asked a series of questions about how the being must have felt...

...Death is Not Always the Measurement Why do we acclaim a person’s achievements only after the time of their lives? Why is it that the public only opens its eyes to the greatness of a person and his/her achievements after the time of his/her brief existence? Well, I can guess that it is a part of the irony of life as it is evident not only in our nation but in the whole civilization itself. It has become, what it seems to be, a Custom. Whereas a custom based on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a Habitual Action and a common practice among people. Late have we appreciated the importance of the person we have lost. And that is NOT however a good indication of a genuine condolence and appreciation of a man’s life. First of all, we are beginning to create a high standard in order for one to achieve recognition. Through these evident ironies of “reliving the lives of those who lost their lives” we are forming a new perspective among all, that for you to become someone we can pattern our lives with, you must first die and lose your life. That for us to be proud of having you in our same country, you must meet your final destination first. I have here a concrete example of what I am exactly talking about. The untimely death of our former DILG officer Jesse Manalastas Robredo indeed shook not only the Bicol region but the entire nation itself. No one expected that a man of honor would reach his demise in the harsh conditions of the shores of Albay. “I lost a Brother” a statement uttered...

...Master plan Questions What body system/s does the virus attack? Would it have a different effect on Ancients? How can/does it spread, exactly? Where did it originate? How long can it last outside of a host’s body? Does it effect animals other than humans? Is this virus related to the one that killed off a large chunk of the Cetra population? Now, what did you say the symptoms were again? What is this virus called? Ideas Worldwide spread of plague, total annihilation Bad because no more people equals no more RP Good because death and destruction are fun. Possibility: Unlikely A few more characters are introduced, claiming they’re scientists. They go to ShinRa, offering the cure. They turn out to be part of a vast colony of hidden Cetra, the likes of which have never been seen before. Possibility: Possible The plague spreads planetwide until a cure is developed or other forces step in Possibility: Almost certain Tace, Meus, and Laeta, (DNA possibly affected by virus) reappear, vowing their revenge on Lacri/Selen and Risus for abandoning them Possibility: Good Risus dies, but Lacri survives (If Tace, Meus and Laeta are effected, then Lacri gets the effect twice as badly.) Possibility: Good Mina gets sick, tries to hide it, and ends up almost dying before someone, preferably Lisone, cures her Cons: Lame Possibility: Maybe Virus is cured before Lacri and Risus’ death. Risus returns to Midgar looking for the children, leaving Lacri behind...

...Ya’ know why? ‘Cuz money don’t grow on trees. We do what we do with hopes to be free. But, let me explain, money don’t come to us black folks on trees.” I’m not sure it do, but that’s what my poppa told me when great-great grammie Loretta passed away. That was a sad day, yes it was. I cried. You can ask my poppa about how I cried for 2 weeks straight. Oh, how I cried. Maybe I’m getting’ way, way ahead of my-self. My name Loretta, too, and ain’t nobody tellin’ me my name is nothin else. That is not who I is! Anyway, I live on some plantation in northern Carolina and these parts ain’t kind to ya either. I work muh butt off to keep it from that mean, nasty, leather strip. I mean, I work hard- I don’t quit either. My poppa was born into slavery and his great-great grandpappy was a hick straight from the sticks. He mad at the white folks- but also his ancestors fer not fightin’ back. We do a lot of ‘hardships’ to remain happy, or so my granny used to say when I was a young’un. My life as a slave was not one u might expect. Now, if you readin’ this, I’m most likely off living somewhere in the north. Now, that is the adventure of my life I don’t regret it one bit. Here’s how the story of a lifetime unfolds… It all started when a strange knock appeared on our door. Naturally, I ran to a small hole just big enough for me that my father had dug and covered the top with a blanket. I did this for protection against bad people. But it wasn’t anybody! So, I waited and waited. Plantation...

...Three concepts that will help me in completing my graduate degree In this lecture, I have gained insight into several strategies that will help me with the successful completion of my degree and achieve my career goals. Among the many, the three main concepts that I have learned in this lecture, which have appealed to me the most as a means to successfully complete my graduate degree are: * Time management * Preview of assignments * and Lecture note taking. It is an essential component for the progress and successful completion of any course. We all have a set of goals, but all goals do not weigh the same importance. Managing time properly helps to prioritize goals, after which one’s daily routine can be organized to achieve these goals (“Time management guide”, n.d.). Procrastination of work is commonly seen when an individual fails to manage one’s time. Also, it is seen often times, that students, without proper time distribution, devote a lot more time than required to certain study activities, while many other important activities are neglected (“Time management guide”, n.d.). For a higher education degree, such as a Masters, time management plays a key role in every stage of the coursework. A sense of time is critical for the following: a. Setting aside time for self-study on a weekly basis. A timed self-study can help an individual to preview and review course materials. b. For assignments, it is critical to assess time carefully...

...experience of observing this video that will help me develop clinical skill (knowledge and self-awareness) in either therapeutic communication or inter-professional communication? Therapeutic communication is the communication between the nurse and the patient, focusing on the patient’s wellbeing (Berman et al, 2015). In the video of the radiographer working in the emergency department, therapeutic communication is demonstrated between the radiographer and his patient. After reflecting over the therapeutic communication that’s shown in this video, it has helped me developed different techniques that are used with this communication and how to approach these techniques in the best way. Using Discolls reflection cycle, the ‘what’ comes first, describing what has happened in the situation. The therapeutic communication in this video starts with the Radiographer Peter, abruptly entering the room of pregnant patient Sally, who has seemed to have had a stroke. Not realizing that Sally can’t talk, Peter immediately starts to ask her questions before Sally’s husband has to step in and explain what her situation is. Peter then carry’s on asking Sally’s husband questions about herself and explains that he needs to do a CT scan of her brain. Peter then makes it clear that because a CT scan requires them to use radiation that there is harm to the baby. Sally’s husband becomes concerned and tries to sort out with Peter if this is really the best way to do this scan. With some explaining...
