General Atomics

The MQ-9 Reaper The MQ-9 Reaper was designed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. There have been multiple updates and refinements to the aircraft itself, but its original design was based on the Predator airframe, also designed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. The original proof of concept was named the Predator B-001, which took to the skies in February of 2001. After the proof of concept was successful, General Atomics Aeronautical System planned to refine the system, coming up with two separate designs designated B-002 and B-003 (Whittle,2013). The Reaper is specifically built as a “Hunter-Killer” UAS, meaning its specific mission is to locate, track, and eliminate a specified target. Doing so requires the use of multiple…

2400 Zhiyuan Li Is the general will always right? In November 2014, China released a draft amendment to its Criminal Law, including exempting nine crimes from the death penalty. However, a considerable number of people almost immediately expressed their strong disagreement on lightening punishment for those crimes and asked for the most severe punishment instead. If we regard reducing death penalty crimes as the general will, or what is best for the whole society, the opponents might therefore…

There is no doubt that there exist institutional and individual bias in promotion board process.” In order to have an increase in blacks as general officers, would be to (1) make the promotion board more transparent, allowing the members to understand the promotion criteria in which the board members base their selection on. (2) remove any indication of the officers assign branch/job and (3) remove the members’ Army official photo. These changes here could drastically change the out come of the…

Between…

Chemistry Honors Mrs. Moreno Period 5 INTERPRETING THE PERIODIC TABLE Partner’s name: Faranak Hajikhan, Pablo Moncada, Albina Contreras and Karla Santos Title: Interpreting the Periodic Table Date: 12-18-14 Subject: Honors Chemistry / Period 5 Introduction: The periodic table is a table of the chemical elements in which the elements are arranged by order of a atomic number. The periodic table also has a special name for its vertical columns. Each…

Discovery and Organization of the Periodic Table In order to understand the periodic table, a basic knowledge in the terminology would be very helpful. A periodic table a chart organizing elements by atomic numbers and chemical properties into groups and periods. The periodic table was created in order to easily find and classify the different elements that are known. Elements are pure substances composed of just one type of atom that cannot be broken down into anything simpler by ordinary…

So who is Democritus? Democritus is the first human to ever come up with the first atomic theory. Democritus was born in Greece around 460BC. He has a life spend of 90 years, he died in the year 370BC. He likes to study geometry and natural philosophy. His teacher is actually the first one to come up with the atomic theory. His teacher, Leucippus atomic theory stated that “The universe is composed of two elements: the atoms and the void in which they exist and move.” (Tangient LLC). According…

Many people in the world don 't realize that one of the greatest minds had possible learning disabilities. Albert Einstein at a younger age was labeled as dull, dyslexic, even autistic or schizophrenic. However, he overcame these “labels” and became very famous for his scientific knowledge. When Einstein was 16 years old, he always wondered what it would be like to ride his bike on a beam of light, 10 years later he came up with a special theory of relativity, which lead him to find out that…

form is combustible, and is therefore an explosive hazard. All Neodymium compounds are of moderate toxicity, just as other rare earth metals. Neodymium dusts and salts are irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes, and moderately so to skin. Neodymium can also act as an anticoagulant. On the topic of Neodymium magnets, being so very powerful they must be treated with deliberate care. On multiple occasions have people's’ fingertips been damaged due to the forceful attraction between two…

Special relativity came first and is based on the speed of light being constant for everyone. This was showed by experimental evidence that the speed of light did not alter as the earth spun around the sun. General Relativity simply supports the evidence that acceleration is found to distort the shape of time and space, and velocity and gravity affect time in different ways. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which established the association between matter, space, time and gravity.…
