Isaac Monroe Cline was one of the era’s new scientists who believed he knew everything there was to be known about the motions of clouds and the behavior of storms. Isaac was the chief of the United States Weather Service bureau in Galveston at this time. The idea of a hurricane destroying the city of Galveston baffled him. As rain started to fall in the city with a higher intensity than normal, people were reassured by Isaac’s beliefs. He was completely wrong. Galveston which is located

Objective This experiment will involve measuring the volume and mass of a cylinder, a sphere and a wooden block. Based on the mass and volumes of these objects, the density of these objects can be calculated. The equation for the density of an object is density =mass/volume. In the density equation there is a direct proportional relationship between the mass of an object and its volume. For instance, if an object has its mass decreased, its volume will also decrease. The experiment used a

This study used a correlational design to discover the relationship between procrastination, adaptive perfectionism, maladaptive perfectionism and academic performance. Using the PPS and MPS scales hundred and twenty five undergraduate university students filled out digital surveys online in classrooms. There academic performance was measured through a test. Results suggest that procrastination has a negative effect on academic performance, whereas adaptive perfectionism has a positive one. Those

Health Inventory Scores as a function of Perceived Stress Scores Perceived stress may have an impact on an individual’s overall health. Many believe higher perceived stress would lead to more detrimental health impacts or vice versa. However, previous studies have presented mixed results. Previous research found rates of colds and respiratory infections to increase as stress index scores increased, in a study of 420 men and women. Participants stress was measured using three questionnaires and each

Analysis of the Internship Project This evidence based project focused on the creation of a rubric for simulation experiences in the baccalaureate program at WKU. To become familiar with the different uses of simulation and its evaluation within the nursing realm, completion of a comprehensive review of the literature occurred. Hence, the search included the use of Google Scholar, PubMed, and EBSCOhost databases to aid with the search of pertinent literature. Identifying keywords selected for

Musical Analysis of… Chopin’s Prelude in Dᵇ Major Op.28, no. 15 Genre/Style Chopin’s prelude in Dᵇ is from the romantic period, which began in the late 18th/early 19th century. Composers like Chopin were at the forefront of this change in music, developing the writing and playing of solo piano, orchestral and opera works and how music was performed. There were many composers from this era that were very well known, especially in their later years, or after their deaths: Liszt, Beethoven, Schubert

If I had it my way, I would tone down the zero tolerance act. It just punishes too harshly for some things. I think that it needs to distinguish the difference between minor problems, like playing with a toy gun, and major problems, like having drugs. Zero Tolerance The zero tolerance policies call for students to receive automatic suspensions or expulsions as punishment for certain offenses, primarily those involving weapons, threats, or drugs. I agree that safety is an important

1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background study Before one assumes the status of an employee in any job firm or institution, a lot of paper work goes in; right from application for employment and submission of curriculum vitae, to writing of aptitude tests and attending interviews then finally receiving your employment letter and signing of ‘employment contract.’ This employment contract, as defined by businessdictionary.com is an oral or written, express or implied, agreement specifying terms and conditions

Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students (PASS) Areas of Procrastination For each of the following activities, please rate the degree to which you delay or procrastinate.  Rate each item on an “a” to “e” scale according to how often you wait until the last minute to do the activity.  Then indicate on an “a” to “e” scale the degree to which you feel procrastination on that task is a problem.  Finally, indicate on an “a” to “e” scale the degree to which you would like to decrease your

attitudes, utilising one of four types of attitude measurement scales. For example, Louis L. Thurstone (1887-1955) devised his equal interval scale in his 1928 work, ‘Attitudes can be measured’, based on results obtained from a study on religious attitudes, ranging from extremely positive to extremely negative (Thurstone and Chave, 1929). However, constructing such a scale is a complicated and time-consuming process. Items on the scale are assumed to have equal intervals (i.e. items are divided into
