Shock wave

The blast wave generating device developed for this project consists of two sections that are equivalent in cross sectional area to the expansion section channel of the shock tube; the front section has internal damper blades that rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position, and the rear section is equipped with internal flow straighteners. The device is to be placed in series between the expansion section and the expansion section channel, and bolted together with the flanges of these two sections. The main operation of this device works by producing a shock wave from the bursting of a diaphragm from the driver section, which travels down the shock tube through the expansion section, and into the device. The wave hits the damper…

yourself.” “Sunset.” I respond without thinking. “For some reason it fit you. I would have thought you would name yourself china or booty luscious or some hood rat name. A stripper name Sunset, hmm I like.” I don’t know why I decided to call myself Sunset, probably because my whole world was left over at Sunset when I perform my last performance and Nino took me to a new world; his world. We walk out and onto the stage behind the curtains. I watch as the girl before me was giving life to her…

As the tension doesn’t drastically rise before the explosion the shock is raw, which unlike some war films, doesn’t romanticise the violence. This could be seen as a more accurate portrayal of violence, as all the deaths are shown as equal, with no one character having a long, dying monologue. The equality of deaths could also be an emphasis on how war does not discriminate and it is not a battle between just soldiers as the lives of many innocent civilians will always be taken too. The camera…

Before the start of the experiment a Slight shock of 45V is administered to the participant in order to show him what the Learner will be experiencing and to further portray the experiment as authentic (Milgram, 1963). However, the participant is not aware that this will be the only real shock in the experiment. The confederate will not be shocked because he is an actor in the situation (Milgram, 1963). He does act as if being shocked, however. In the Voice Feedback condition the Learner starts…

Our data cover sixteen major industrial sectors from nine countries in the Trans-Pacific region. We apply a factor-augmented vector autoregression (FAVAR) approach (Bernanke, Boivin, and Eliasz, 2005) to reduce the dimension of our data and to simulate the transmission of shocks from the Trans-Pacific region to the US. FAVAR has two advantages compared with traditional VAR. First, it can incorporate a broader set of information related to the unknown transmission mechanism by utilizing…

There would be a hole from the memory being erased, such as in the movie Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind when Clementine said, “Nothing makes any sense to me! NOTHING MAKES ANY SENSE!” This was tested when a scientist played a tone for a rat before it was shocked. On an episode from the scientific podcast Radiolab titled "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Rat" Jad Abumrad said, “The moment it hears the tone and feels the shock, inside its head, a bunch of neurons start to build. Whenever…

of a woman who rejoiced when a terribly tragic event happened to her husband. This story starts in 1894 when women had no power. The woman’s name was Mrs. Mallard, and she was married to Brently Mallard. She had a heart disease and any seriously shocking moments could trigger a fatal heart attack. Mrs. Mallard is an unsympathetic person based on her desire to become a widow, the perceived joy and freedom of her husband’s death, and the shock she faces when she realizes her husband is still…

In this article “The Peril of Obedience” Stanley Milgram conducted a series of experiments to determine if people would choose to follow authority or obey their morals. In this series of experiments the experimenter Stanley Milgram found a few contributors to test out his theory. Before he started his experiment he had to pick a teacher and a student, who each got a piece of paper to decide which one is going to give the shocks and which one was going to take the shocks. The learner was strapped…

and internal attribution. Occurrences of learned helplessness take place in individuals who have this idea in their mind that none of their actions are within their control due to explicit punishment dealt by a guardian or person in a position of power or whomever, the irony being that guardian 's actions is actually out of the victims control. They believe in failure and motivation severely lacks as uncontrollable stress builds up. The most famous experiment which outlines learned…

It was October 9th, 2013, the day that I and my family moving to the United States from Vietnam and started a new life here. I heard and learned many things about this country before but I was astonished experiencing the country myself. As soon as I discovered there was nothing like I expected, I was anxious and homesick. I wondered how long it would take me to adapt to this new culture and the people. Only a couple months passed, but I already experienced several culture shocks such as…
