    continuing her work in mathematics and even began studying in philosophy and psychology. Years later after having been diagnosed “her paper on curvature of elastic surfaces was published in the scientific journal ‘Crelle’s Journal’.” Because of Sophie’s contribution, her former mentor Gauss convinced the University of Gottingen to award her an honorary degree. Tragically on June 27, 1831, in Paris, France Sophie Germain lost her fight with breast cancer before she could receive the award. Even though

    Building Robust Damage Classifiers Using Computational Model Predictions to be used for Structural Health Monitoring Interim Report Lewis Gunby Introduction In today’s engineering world, the cost is becoming one of the most important factors when it comes to the design of mechanical systems, such as bridges, aircraft, buildings, motor vehicles etc. When designing the system, there are three distinguished methods to lower cost: reduce the initial cost of building the product, lower the operating

    Transition From Pahoehoe to A’a In its most general sense, as the flow advances away from the vent, core temperature decreases leading to an increase in viscosity and ultimately marks a transition from pahoehoe to a’a. This point of transition is most often referred to as the “transition threshold” (Peterson & Tilling, 1980). Lava which continues to deform even after it has become highly viscous, may reach this threshold and subsequently changes to a’a. There are many factors which govern this change

    Viscosity The viscosity of a fluid of measured by said fluid’s resistance to the gradual deformation caused by shear and tensile stress and is identified as a property of a fluid in which opposes the relative motion between two different surfaces of a fluid both moving at different velocities. A fluid that has no resistance to shear stress is known as an inviscid or ideal fluid. Not every fluid is highly or even somewhat viscous though zero viscosity can only be observed at rather lower temperatures

    Moreover, his art is often considered as an important contribution to mathematical studies and physics (Blatt, 1994; Colman, 2014). For example, Colman found that a painting entitled Starry Night accurately depicts the concept of turbulence with “a degree of sophistication and accuracy that rivals the way physicists and mathematicians have best explained turbulence in their own scientific papers” (2014, para. 2). In this context, I would like to analyze his painting Road With Cypress and Star (1890)

    Introduction In every days life, eyeglasses is used by the people with eye problems to enabled them to read, write and other purposes, either the person with farsightedness or nearsightedness. Usually, a person is either given recommendations by eye specialists, optometrists or ophthalmologists who identified the eye of a person’s problem and they will give prescription if necessary. Eyeglasses are generally made by an optician. Some people might use eyeglasses (or sometimes called sunglasses) for

    Introduction For facsimile production, Computer image adapting software can practically be divided into two types. The first type (which includes programs such as Adobe Photoshop and the open-source Gimp) involves editing the images themselves, e.g., brightness and contrast manipulations, colour corrections and noise removal. These programs support experienced tools for foreground/background dissolution. For example, in the case of an inscription’s image, ink traces can be isolated from the background

    focuses on diagnosing and treating the musculoskeletal system through manipulation of the spine or hands on adjustment. Some chiropractors provide spinal adjustment or address sacral or pelvic alignment. Sacral relates to the sacrum, which is the curvature region of the spinal cord. This allows for more room in the pelvic cavity for organs therefore, can lead to pelvic alignment. Chiropractic was invented by D.D. Palmer in 1895 when he adjusted the spine of a deaf man and restored his hearing. Based
