Outside on the terrace, floated seven six-foot high sculptures in the form of floats seen in figure two. Robert Breer designed the floats with the unique ability to be moved around while emitting sound. The sound was emitted from a battery-operated tape recorder that was placed inside each float. The recorder played different sounds including humpback whale songs, low sawing sounds, and a truck starting up and driving away. When one visited the Pavilion, they could experience the Robert Breer 's

What role did military intelligence play in World War II? What role did military intelligence play in World War II? Joseph Reeder It is undeniable the principal role, military intelligence occupied in both the successes and failures of the main events that transpired in World War II, ranging from the breaking of the enigma code at Bletchley Park, to the D Day landings that arguably determined the outcome of the whole war. Military intelligence in the war encompasses not only spies and counterintelligence

Introduction Every year, birds of all types around the world are forced to migrate between breeding and wintering grounds as a survival mechanism. Seasonal variations in climate greatly impact conditions of life for birds, forcing them to brave these journeys despite the threat of predators and harsh conditions along the way (Alerstam & Christie, 1993). To make their journeys even more difficult, birds often encounter large mountain barriers on their routes, forcing them to rise in elevation several

Avoiding the weather is impossible. Weather forecasting is the one branch of science that nearly everyone uses on a daily basis. Whether one checks the forecast in the morning, afternoon, or night, knowing the atmospheric conditions enables us to prepare for the type of weather we will be facing. Predicting the climate has been practiced since the beginning of time with more or less accuracy. Historical beliefs show numerous examples of weather predicting methods based on observing surrounding

Introduction Cetaceans have an important role in the structure and functioning of ecosystems. For a long time, scientists have been studying their status, distribution, and seasonal abundance through strandings. NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Services defines a stranding as a marine mammal found dead on shore, alive on shore but unable to return to the water, or in a foreign habitat and unable to return to its own habitat without assistance (http://www.ifaw.org/united-states/our-work/animal-rescue/faqs-about-strandings)

Essential Question: Did the formation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its programs positively affect the people of the United States? On October 1st, 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) formally opened its doors for advancements in space and atmospheric research. After the launch of the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, Earth's first artificial satellite, on October 4th, 1957, United States President, Dwight D. Eisenhower asked his science advisor, Dr

almost two hours before the accident occurred. That last ATIS record became obsolete in short notice due to rapidly changing weather conditions at BDL. Even though extreme conditions were in effect at BDL, the aircrew was not informed with recent information. Therefore, even though the last ATIS record that was sent to pilots informed them about extreme weather conditions at BDL, additional ATIS records should have been released. The reason behind not emitting new ATIS records after the one sent at

Introduction The aviation community generally defines CFIT as "…any collision with land or water in which there was no detectable mechanical or equipment failure, where the pilot was in control of the aircraft but lost situational awareness and flew into terrain." (Bensyl, Moran, Conway, 2001, pg 1037) According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF), CFIT can be caused by many factors. Nevertheless, it

OPPOSING INTRODUCTION Since Svante Arrhenius of Sweden first expressed his concerns about the anthropogenic effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) on global warming in the early twentieth century, scientists have been attempting to convince the world’s citizens of an inevitable climate catastrophe. In the 1980s, Al Gore pioneered the politicization and polarization of the issue by co-sponsoring congressional hearings. From this point forward, government agencies and many climatologists have continued
