The Music of Strangers Essay Assignment

The Music of Strangers

Watch the film “The Music of Strangers”. You can rent it as a DVD from the store, find it in your local library for free, rent it in iTunes for $4.99. It runs for 1 hour, 35 minutes. Or rent it in Amazon Prime. Even if you’ve seen it, please watch it again with new eyes.

Documentary film: The Music of Strangers

What would life be without music? The world would
be a very quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of our lives and the definition of society. It is a reminder of how things once were, an indication of how things are, and a view of where society is headed. Music is a direct reflection of the picture of society. Music can be a way to deliver messages, a poetic
medium, a fine art, or nothing more than a source of
entertainment. No matter what it is used for, music is the perfect art and our lives would be that much less complete without it that life as we know it would not at all be the same without music.

After viewing this film and the video clips from the TSD,
write your essay, 1-2 pages in length, in your own words, about the importance of music in our lives. Discuss how music has enriched your life (or not). Use this film as an inspiration to your essay noting some parts of it that inspire you.

Journal analysis Essay Assignment Paper

Journal analysis

These two-page open-ended papers allow you to take a less structured, thinking-through approach to writing about an assigned reading.

When working on a journal, consider the following:

1) What major questions does this work raise for you? These questions should be inspired by concepts and issues, rather than asking about facts or basic comprehension.
2) Why are these questions important to your understanding of broader topics (or if it helps you explore your ideas, other texts)? We are interested in seeing you explore your own thinking on the issues raised by the reading.
3) Is there a major idea embedded in this text that you continue to grapple with? What and why? Can you show, by thinking through it in your writing, what makes this idea such a complex one?

Polymers in Medicine Research Paper

Polymers in Medicine

Stoke’s law to delivery of large porous particles to the lungs.
In the middle of the 19th Century, Stokes looked at the drag on spheres for which the Reynold’s number was low.

Fd=6pµRvs

µ is the dynamic viscosity, R is the radius of the sphere, vs is the settling velocity

And

Fg=(?p-?f)g(4/3)pR3

Where ?p is the density of the particle and ?f is the density of the fluid.

1)How does the settling velocity depend on the radius of the particle?
2)Why is the settling velocity a suitable measurement for delivery to the deep lungs? Draw a picture of the delivery and explain.
3)What is the necessary settling velocity for delivery to the deep lungs?
4)What radius of particles corresponds to this?
Particles that are small tend to be taken up extremely efficiently by alveolar macrophages. Therefore, groups tried to determine whether making large, porous 5)particles would be equivalent to the small, dense particles.
Start with the definition of the mean aerodynamic diameter:

MMADt=(?/?1)1/2d
Now, work through the derivation in the Vandever et al. paper, step by step explaining all the assumptions for a particle with radius, R, and n pores with radii rp. What is the dependence of the settling velocity on R, n, and rp? (Hint: You will use the equations from the beginning.)
