One of the heartbreaking truths about World War 1 was that millions of innocent men needlessly died because civilian and military leaders were slow in changing their war strategies and effectively employing new technologies. Thus, the war typified a fight between an inefficient nineteenth century warfare which witnessed lot of casualties on both sides, and a twentieth century technology-driven battle in which many decisive technologies were tested. As for America, the trend of industrialism and mass production of machineries and war equipments had begun fifty years prior to the onset of the war during the American Civil War. With ...

This research paper discusses the phenomenon of earthquakes – the geography and distribution of where they occur, and the explanations of the forces and processes involved. The theory explains why they occur more in some places than others and describes related phenomena including volcanic activity.

The Research

The accepted theory of the cause of most earthquakes cites the continuous movements of huge sections of the earth’s crust (known as the lithosphere), which comprises tectonic plates (Earthquakes and Plate Tectonics” 1977), which are further classified as either oceanic or continental plates, dependent on their location on the Earth’s surface: beneath the ...

Review of Literature

“Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) provide a mobile sonar platform for local environmental characterization and mine hunting missions in areas that are prohibitively dangerous or otherwise inaccessible to manned vessels” (Edwards and Schmidt 2615).With the use of these vehicles, a series of way-points are uniformly employed in order to sample a region of interest (Edwards and Schmidt 2615). Experts continue to develop new techniques and methods to enhance the capabilities of AUVs. For example, experts assert that efficiency and efficacy will be greatly increased if the AUV has the capability of reacting to its perceived environment. This was investigated by Edwards ...

The First World War was quite a turning point in the history of humanity, not only because of the great number of countries involved into it, but also because of the use of new powerful weapons causing mass deaths and leading to awful casualty rates.

Pyramid method was invented in the early 90’s. The pyramid shows ratios or proportions of food that a person was required to take in a day. The pyramid proposes for a high share of green vegetables just like other regional food guides. Hence its similarity but it differs with the other methods because it is a bit confusing. I wouldn’t follow the pyramid because it gives vague ratios to their food percentage it is hard to know if this is followed by everyone. The plate method is much simpler as it has individual assistance rather than blanket advice or direction. It ...

In harm’s way is a famous (some would say the definitive) account of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis – which has become one of the most notorious incidents involving the US Navy during World War two, because her sinking led to the greatest loss of life that the Us Navy suffered in a single engagement. Stanton tells the background to the ship’s sinking, but the book stands out because of the first-hand accounts of the sailors who survived the initial attack and then waited days to be rescued. As we shall see some of the sailors’ accounts are harrowing ...
