The concept of the  science fair   The concept of science fair has come down to us from European education pattern and their cultural growth of culture. They first thought " Science fair must be based on creativity by cultivating knowledge and intelligence of the learners". Indeed, science fair needs to be introduced in different educational institutions by considering their pedagogical phenomena based on practical knowledge and skills. Hence, there is no alternative to practical knowledge to gain proper education in the field of Science and Technology, and hence, the steps for science fair are needed as a taken of creativity and awareness for acquiring knowledge among the students. Hence, the steps for the science fair in the educational institute are ideally envisaged and contemporary. In our country, every year science fair is held in different educational institutions to create motivation for research work and enthusiasm. The teachers first collect the names and list t...

 My favourite story:'The Fall of the House of Usher.' by Edgar Allan Poe The Fall of the House of Usher has been reflected in black and white in the form of the Gothic style which is perceptible from the launch of this anecdote, the withstand and ambiance mirror the narrator’s depressing mood as if the corporal world is associated to him or one way or another conscious of his existence. This is typical of Gothic literature. The bleak horror of this scene is bound to correspond to greater horrors within. As Edgar Allan Poe has contemplated in the story, "The Fall of the House of Usher", he revitalizes categorization, and imagery to illustrate fear, terror, and shadows on the human intelligence.  Roderick and his twin sister Madeline are the last of the all time-honored House of Usher. They are both suffering from rather strange illnesses which may be attributed to the intermarriage of the family. Roderick suffers from "a morbid acuteness of t...

My review of the story'The Stoat’ by John McGahern' There is no denying the fact that in the story ‘The Stoat’ by John McGahern we have the theme of self-contentedness, terror, blame, negative response and integrity. Narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator the reader realizes after reading the story that McGahern may be exploring the theme of selfishness. The protagonist’s father on hearing that Miss McCabe has had a heart attack decides to abandon any notions he had of getting engaged to Miss McCabe. It is as though the protagonist’s father doesn’t want to care for Miss McCabe should the need arise. This may be important as it suggests that the protagonist’s father is being selfish. Thinking only of his own approach rather than on how Miss McCabe may feel.   It envisages to be a case that if the focal point is not on him he does not want to get engaged to or marry Miss McCabe. If anything Miss McCabe has become a liability rather than an asset to the prota...

My review of the story 'The Lemon Orchard by Alex la Guma' There is no denying the fact that in ‘The Lemon Orchard’ by Alex la Guma we encompass the theme of racial discrimination, favoritism, chain of command and prejudice. Having narrated in the third person by an anonymous raconteur, the reader realizes after reading the story that la Guma may be exploring the theme of bigotry and inequity. The coloured man who is described by his captors as being a ‘hotnot’ is being led throughout the lemon orchard by a cluster of white men. His hands are bound and for part of the story he has the muzzle of a shotgun against his back. His only crime was to have an argument or indifference with the local church minister. This suggests that there is a hierarchy occurring and the coloured man is at the lower end of the scale due to his skin colour. It might also be important to mention that the story is set during the apartheid era in South Africa.   When black people did not have the s...

A review of the novel ‘When it’s over’ by Barbara Ridley There is no denying the fact that Barbara Ridley’s historical fiction novel,  When It’s Over , is a wonderfully written story centered on the opinionated situation in England during World War II. Based on a true story, it’s shown from side to side the eyes of Lena, a young Jewish woman from Czechoslovakia.   Lena meets Otto, a German fugitive who is vigorous in intelligence gathering, in a small cafe in Prague in 1938 where she comes to hear news of the fighting on the front line. Swept away by her belief in the left-wing activists and their fight against Hitler, she moves with Otto to Paris to go on with his work. According to the gist of the novel, Lena Kulkova, who is Jewish, becomes involved with the underground resistance movement, as well as with Otto, a German-Jewish refugee. Lena has a troubled relationship with her strict father and, other than sadness at leaving behind her mother and younger sister; Lena do...

Loneliness In the wake of peace and harmony To generate a base under the greenwood trees, In the piles of leaves, dried and green; To grow and deteriorate for sequential flow.  Not for lust but for the least of life Which is immersed in deep thought? And co-sequential flow in dearth Whoever knows the hidden mystery? To start and fly over the sky.  And the ocean to create For knowing the plants, creepers, and herbs  Immersed in the deep sense of the cave Hills, rocks, sand, and heaps of leaves Not knowing someone is excited and scary in motion To see the animals very ferocious and heinous The thing that lags behind. Those are found and rescued from the unusual  In the land that is a place without people But suitable to take abode forever Like the spiritual beams glittered in the waves Over the sky and in motion, glittering Like the disappearance of the lost hopes  And an aspiration to flow on the earth As if the d...

My 'The Reel Sisters Review' by O' Henry There is no denying the fact that the tale of bonafide sisters follows five women who are part of a group identified as the Reel Sisters where each character represents a part of a fly fishing rig. As a fly fishing angler in my opinion this story struck habitat in more than a few customs. What happens when a stripped girl is swept downriver and is rescued by a group of women fly anglers? The Reel Sisters is that story. Up till now this is not just a story concerning women fly fishing, this is a story about life.  According to O’ Henry, a life is made up of sobs, smiles, and sniffles and sniffles predominating. It doesn’t issue whether we are female or male. We have all practiced some of what these women have gone through. Following the five protagonists on their adventures as anglers, the reader comes to make out how each one fits into a full fishing rig. The women in the book demonstrate that fly fishing has no barriers w...

 'A Day in Eternity' by Elinor Lyon, My Favourite Book It gives me immense pleasure that  ‘ A Day in Eternity’ by Elinor Lyon is an outstanding contribution for younger generation where the writer has given some message of freshness and vigor of mind which a man can change his lot by virtue of explorations, merits and hardihood. The poetry of John Magee is magically woven into the story where the transcendence of time and place, and the structure of the typeset as they grow up, soar, and flutter through the rising action, is stimulating. The truth-seeking component adds appreciably to the scheme, while also making the book stimulating. He was spell bound  on persistent to England and his feeling affection for, author Elinor Lyon and at the age of 19 he finally went back as a pilot officer with the Canadian Royal Air Force. Being enthusiastic with freedom and powered by a Super marine Spitfire, he “trod the untrespassed blessedness of space and touched the face o...

It is a significant fact that all free electrons move around due to their thermal energy even if there is no current present. However as this motion is completely random then the net effect is no overall movement. To be part of a current they have to exhibit a drift velocity in a given direction Let us consider the two electron paths: Both display random motion as their thermal kinetic energy causes them to move, colliding with the fixed positive ions that make up a metal’s structure as they go.  The first electron shows very little change in displacement, the second has moved about the same distance as the first but shows a definite displacement to the right - it has a drift superimposed on its random motion. Therefore we can say the second electron is probably part of an electrical current and the first is not. When the overall effect on all the electrons is taken into account this small drift shown by each electron provides a current, whilst when all electrons in the first ...

There is no denying the fact that Kinetics is the learning of how fast (the rate) a reaction progresses. The rate of a reaction is a physical property of a reaction and is measured by the change in some reaction quantity (e.g. volume, mass, concentration) per unit time. The most common method used to calculate the rate of reaction is to measure the change in concentration of the reactant(s) per second. The rate becomes, rate = - ( change in concentration of reactant in mol dm-3 ) / time in s {or, rate = change in concentration of product / time} This gives the unit of mol dm-3 s-1 for the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction may be represented by a mathematical equation related to the chemical equation for a reaction. E.g. for the simple hydrolysis reactions of halo alkanes, SN1 : the most important reaction, or the rate determining step, is the breaking of the C-halogen bond - The rate equation for this reaction is written as, where, k = the rate const...
