  Sound waves can go through a vacuum if the amplification is high enough.  

Identify three (3) symbols from Ruined that are associated with a specific character. Using evidence from the text, make a case for what these symbols mean and explain how they contribute to the characterization of the characters they are associated with. Note that in some cases, an object or place may be associated with two or more characters, in which case, you should include that in your response as well.

Consider the region R{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”R”} in the first quadrant bounded by x=0, y=1, and y=x3{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”x=0, y=1, and y=x3″}. Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating R{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”R”} around the line y=1{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”y=1″}. (Show all sufficient work in steps and use the technique or method discussed in this course. )

Evaluate the following improper integral. Then, state whether it is convergent or divergent. ∫ 0 ∞ 5 e − x   d x {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\int\limits_0^\infty 5e^{-x} ~dx”}(Show all sufficient work in steps and use the technique or method discussed in this course.)

What wave parameter is defined as the wavelength times the number of cycles in the pulse?

Convert the Cartesian coordinate 2,23 into two different sets of polar coordinates.

What is the duty factor for a system if the pulse duration is 4 microseconds and the PRP is 1 millisecond?

Which of the following is an acoustic variable?

Which type of Bacterial Secretion System injects a protein from enteropathogenic E. coli into a target host cell’s cytoplasm to serve as its own receptor?

Consider the differing definitions of motif in the lessons. In its broadest sense, it is a recurring element in work of literature. Some people further define a motif as a symbol that repeats throughout a work of literature. Others consider it to be a broader pattern of related symbols or plot developments that help develop central themes. One example of this is the motif of the color green in The Great Gatsby. There is a series of different symbols that all happen to be green that work together to reinforce one of the book’s themes–that the American Dream is unattainable. Another example is the motif of the futile search in the novel 2666 as a pattern that helps illustrate one of the main themes of the book, which is that “art always escapes critics’ efforts to understand it” (“Motif” 4). In this example, the motif is established not through symbol but through plot: there are three separate searches that occur in the book, all of which prove to be futile. This repeating pattern of the futile search in general serves to reinforce the notion of the futility of critics trying to understand art. Identify one (1) motif from Ruined, indicate which definition of motif you used, and show examples of how this motif is developed in the play.
