modeling. The stability of reshaped profile in rubble mound breakwaters with rock or concrete cube armors was studied by Priest et al. (1964) [14]. Van der Meer (1992) released the first version of his computer software, named "BREAKWAT [15]", in order to predict the reshaped profile in berm breakwaters. According to the studies performed by Lykke Anderson (2006), Van der Meer (1992) method predicts the reshaped profile of dynamically stable berm breakwaters (H0T0>70) with acceptable accuracy. But

In today’s society parents are seen arguing with their children which both prove points to each other in order to gain trust of one another. In Jay Heinrichs article titled “How to Teach a Child to Argue” he teaches his readers why it’s beneficial for children to argue with their parents.

families develop a higher I.Q. than their siblings. The New York Times used a study that found that the average difference in I.Q. was three points higher in firstborn than closest sibling. Even though it is only three points it is significant according to researchers. While three points may not seem like a huge differences, experts say that “it can be a tipping point for some people- the difference between a high B average and a low A” (Carey, 2007). The results also show that it was because of family

up with the point spreads and other confusing calculations, in baseball betting you simply put your money on the outcome of the game. In addition, the baseball season lasts longer, which means more matches and bigger chances to go home with the winning money. Here is a step to step guide to baseball betting. The main difference between baseball betting and other team sports betting such as football and basketball

determining the freezing point depression constant of water. Through the use of solutions with different concentrations one will find that the solution with the highest concentration will have the lowest freezing point. This is true because this solution has more particles in it, in comparison to the solutions with fewer particles, and therefore has to take longer to slow each of these particles down in order that they might be frozen. In order to find the freezing point of a solution a very useful

I feel like I tried to understand both points of views and I tried putting myself in the shoes over a mother who were to get an abortion and Marquis has some reasonable points but from my point of view I would prefer to go with Judith Thomson’s point of view in the defense of abortion. Thomson feels like the mothers deserve their own rights in how to handle the situation with their own baby and obviously with the right way and under the right law in order to proceed with an abortion. She does say

On the other, who would have committed such a heinous crime without reason? Both Brutus and Antony spoke to the Romans, telling what they believed was the true reason Caesar was murdered. Although both Brutus and Antony use diction, unusual word order, and repetition in their speeches to Rome, Brutus uses them to persuade the people into thinking he was justified, and Antony uses them to criticize Brutus in a sarcastic way. The diction used in the two speeches given after Caesar’s death is oddly

Section 1: Introduction. In the first chapter of the textbook, you were introduced to four short stories of change. The story I have selected is the McDonald's story. The points will come from Chapter 1 of the textbook, p.6-8. Section 2: Key points. The McDonald's story begins with Morgan Spurlock.

He traveled across the United States, speaking with various community groups about

look over the lagoon, and they see the perfect thing to do this with: a beautiful, colorful conch shell. The two boys worked together to retrieve the shell. “In color the shell was deep cream, touched here and there with fading pink. Between the point, worn away into a little hole, and the pink lips of the mouth, lay eighteen inches of shell with a slight spiral twist and covered with a delicate, embossed pattern. Ralph shook sand out of the deep tube.” (Golding page 16) The fair colored boy, Ralph

Pelling in 2002 (Marczewski, 2012) and is the idea of bringing game design elements, mechanics, aesthetics and frameworks to non-game situations such as education, in order to motivate or encourage a particular behaviour by increasing user engagement (Deterding et al., 2011). On the other hand, game-based learning refers to using games in order to meet learning outcomes (Isaacs, 2015). According to a report on the current state of online gaming by Spilgames, more than 1.2 billion people play games worldwide
