The more things I try, the more I like my ap2 with px's. Did pick up another SM Vokey black nickel wedge tonight. Next purchase will be a driver. I have my eye on the zl from cobra. I'm a pretty decent ball striker and I think I have above average feel and I can't tell a bit of difference in the '08 and the version. I hit the extensively beside my '08 set and the difference is negligible.

Not that the new ap2 s are bad. But keeping true to this thread Not enough to justify the extra cost. Now if you were not already playing the old ap2s then I would say jump all over the new ones.

They improved slightly on what was already a great iron. Got my new set yesterday Good job Titleist. There is definitely a softer feel in the heads I believe. Having said that, the major reason for the change was that I hated the 5.

Although the specs will tell you they are a "lighter" shaft than the DG, when you lift the club, you felt as though you were lifting a club head filled with lead and it didn't feel natural.. Since moving to the DG it now swings with ease and the new heads are a dream to hit. I also went for the Titleist cord grip on this model which is another slight improvement over the Tour Velvet. All in all, the excercise whilst not cheap, has given me a set of clubs that I now can't wait to hit.

If you are a person who does however like your current AP2 and shaft combination, you will find as people have said before, that the AP2 irons whilst definitely better in feel, can hardly justify an upgrade for that alone. I hit both irons yesterday side by side and compared heads very closely comparing shape size etc. For those who say the upgrade is not worth it good for you. For me they are, the head is more compact along with the sole and the feel is better not by much.

The top line is much improved and doesn't look like a GI iron. If that is what you want, save them the money and have them buy new shafts and grips instead. Did anybody get the new s with the KBS Tours? I would love to hear the differences between the feel of the KBS shafts and the dynamic golds, I was never a fan of the project x. The softer feel my be a reason to switch but I think the shaft will be a bigger decision maker for me.

I also did not see any difference in the top line or head size, they looked exactly the same to me at the golf shop. TM SIM The trajectory is much better with the DG shafts. Also did you have both the AP2 and the AP2 's at the same time to compare?

If so then I am suprised that you didn't see the changes. I have hit both and the AP2's on the surface may not appear to be much different.

However, I can say that I will be looking at getting the AP2's in the upcoming season. Also, appearance wise, from the playing position AP2's look way more attractive. I too thought there wasn't enough difference between the two, until I played more than one round with them. Do yourself a favor. If you are on the fence about it, check with your pro-shop about trying them out on the course. After hitting them all I ordered AP2s, and I didn't care for the first version at all.

Besides the improvements you mentioned, going back to Dynamic gold from the PX was a huge deciding factor.

Cameron D Newport, RI. September 04, at PM Fred, The new AP series irons have been precision engineered for advanced performance. Let us know if you have any other questions. September 04, at PM Not to put titleist down or anything but every you you've come out with an iron model you've "repositioned the CG" in a way that will increase speed and distance. September 04, at PM Hey Nate, You are correct, in the fact that you aren't going to see an extreme increase in distance.

Hopefully this helps clarify some of the improvements. Mike C Dallas, TX. September 04, at PM One thing we have to remember when we think about our AP2's is that they are already great irons. Please login to post a comment.

My hair looked like a poorly done wig with metal sticks as strands. My hair had no flow at all! It was all literally pin straight. No curves, no texture, just poorly done, rough, stick- straight hair. They didn't even advise me to not wash hair until the next 3 days! I'm glad i knew that I had to but i pity the other girls at the salon not knowing what they had to do.

I had naturally straight hair. Still I went in for relaxing only to make it more manageable. Got amazing results. After a year I underwent another relaxing session. But since then the fresh hair growth is wavy. Where I am left with no option but to continue straightening. Result hair loss, itching in scalp. Pls guide is there a way to get back my original texture. Hi wht u mean by hot oil?

Can i do it by myself. Take coconut oil make it hot and apply on my hair? Good Dayy. I have a very thick hair that is frizzy and always dry. And a little bit wavy.

I want to rebond my hair badly. There is another technique called rebonding, which has become very popular these days, and that confuses many women. This is because of similarities between the two techniques. This article attempts to find out the differences between the two to enable women to go for one method of straightening that suits them better. Hair straightening is styling of hair in such a manner so as to make it appear flat and straight if it is originally wavy or curly.

The hair, not only become straight, they also become smooth and more streamlined to allow for easy management. Straightening of hair can be achieved using various methods such as hot iron, chemical relaxing agents, shampoos and conditioners etc that help hair to become temporarily straight. The results are more natural looking and less damaging as compared to rebonding and straightening. If you are looking for smooth and silky hair which does not look artificially straightened, opt for this treatment.

Keratin treatment and protein treatments fall into this category. Results are temporary and may last for months. Also read: Keratin treatment — the latest fad to achieve straight hair.

When this process is applied, keep some points in mind like hair will not damage excessively, and the treatment has to done very carefully. To get permanent hair straight, we will apply chemicals and heavy ironing to hair.

In this method, multiple applications of solutions involve. For all types of hair, the rebonding process does. In the hair rebonding procedure, strong chemicals used to break the bonds of the hair and readjust these bonds to get straight hair. Use a Neutralizer for re-bonding these bonds and relaxer or a softener are the chemicals that are applied.

For all types of hair, it can do, but the people have curly, untamable, and voluminous hair were preferred. It is a treatment that changes the structure of the hair and maybe more hair damage. It cannot be affected by environmental factors like humidity and rain. This procedure will take a maximum of four to five hours, and that is a reason most people select trained hair stylists.

Regular touch-ups in three or six months needed, once the hair was straight. It depends on natural hair growth. A treatment that makes the hair adorable and more manageable is hair straightening treatment.

This provides direct management access without the need for IP connectivity, and can be used for the initial setup of this system and also for out of band management access. The console port is used for management traffic only. The port numbering is labelled on the back of the controller, so you can see for example the first two 10Gb Ethernet ports are 'e0a' and 'e0b'. They all have exactly the same ports in the back. The higher the model number the more powerful the controller, the more load it can handle and the more disk drives it can accommodate.

Then four UTA ports, 'e0e' to 'e0h' if they're configured as Ethernet ports, or '0e' to '0h' if they're configured as Fibre Channel ports:. With the NetApp port naming convention, Ethernet ports start with an 'e' for example 'e0g', Fiber Channel ports are not prefixed with a letter, for example '0g'. The FAS can either be purchased as a single chassis enclosure, where it looks physically identical to a FAS, or in dual enclosures where it looks physically identical to a FAS This is what the single chassis enclosure model looks like:.

When deployed in a single enclosure, the FAS is different than the FAS in that it has more memory so it can handle more load. The other option for the FAS is to purchase it in two different chassis enclosures. With the two chassis option, the controller fits in the top slot, and underneath there is an IO expansion module which provides eight additional expansion slots.

You will get two of the enclosures pictured above. There are eight expansion slots in the IO expansion modules, so that gives you an additional 16 expansion slots across the two chassis. Also note that the M.

Alternatively, an M. For more about fast storage, be sure to check out our SSD buying guide. Note that some PCIe slots may be wired for fewer lanes than the slot length suggests, or have some lanes disabled depending on what other slots or fast drives are installed.

In the image above, if you install a gaming graphics card the vast majority of which are at least two slots tall in either of the two x16 slots, the shorter x1 slots below them will be blocked. Lastly, a note about metal-wrapped PCIe slots: These are increasingly common in high-end and even mainstream boards. The idea is that they provide more support for large graphics cards, to keep the plastic slot from cracking or outright breaking under the weight of heavy cards.

But unless you are going to ship your system, or plan to cart it to LAN parties and you have a very big, heavy card, metal slots are more for show than a necessity. Some low-end chipsets are also limited to two slots, because only one DIMM per channel is supported. That said, for most mainstream tasks including gaming 16GB is good enough and 32GB is ample. Likewise, the USB 3.

ATX is the de facto standard, and offers the most space for features and expansion. And a tiny Mini-STX form factor 5. Another key board consideration is, of course, what CPU you need it to support. For all you need to know about choosing a processor, you can head to our CPU buying guide. But chipsets can be incredibly complex, enough so that a story could be written about each one. For feature details and comparisons of those and other current chipsets, you can check the charts below.

And the newer H chipset features up to four faster USB 3. A dry riser system is designed to be charged with water by the fire brigade. A wet riser system is kept full of water via water tanks and pumps. Dry riser: a system of valves and pipe work which enables the fire service to pump water onto upper floors of a building. Wet riser: a system of valves and pipe work which is kept permanently charged with water, generally utilising pumps and tanks.

The wet riser system is similar in design to dry risers and can usually be found in buildings over 50m tall. Unlike the dry riser system, it is kept constantly charged with water, in order that it can provide the same level of protection against a fire in the upper reaches of taller properties as on the lower floors. Dry risers themselves should be within fire-fighting shafts, and where necessary in protected escape stairs. Dry riser outlets, or landing valves, may be located in protected lobbies, stairs or enclosures where these are available.

A wet riser, known as a downcomer, is a water pipe built into the building which is permanently charged with water, often from a tank in the roof or on a water supply connected to a fire pump. Skip to content Lifehacks. January 19, Joe Ford.

It also serves as another coenzyme as NADH. Electron transport chain is shown in figure 1. Figure 1: Electron Transport Chain. Since NADH serves as an electron and hydrogen donor, it donates its electrons to the membrane proteins of the inner mitochondrial membrane. These electrons are used in the production of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. NADP is a coenzyme involved in oxidation-reduction reactions of photosynthesis.

It is mainly used in anabolic reactions such as nucleic acid and lipid synthesis. It is capable of donating hydrogen and electrons to a chemical reaction. Its reduction power is used in the Calvin cycle, assimilating carbon dioxide. It works as a reducing agent in lipid and nucleic acid synthesis.

They play a vital role in enzyme-catalyzed metabolic reactions as electron carriers. Overview and Key Difference 2. What is NADH 4. It has a Vitamin B backbone. Therefore, it is a water-soluble compound. As it is positively charged, it can act as an oxidizing agent. It oxidizes other compounds and converts to its reduced form which is NADH.

Also, synthesis also takes place through modification of niacin which is taken from the diet. It is also a coenzyme. It works as a reducing agent and oxidizes itself while reducing the other compound. Hence, NADH is useful in many catabolic reactions as an electron carrier.

Furthermore, NADH acts as a coenzyme in the citric acid cycle. NADH also acts as a co-factor for many enzymes such as alcohol dehydrogenase, etc. Additionally, NADH has a hepatoprotective activity and plays a role in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. Thus, same starting compounds; aspartate and tryptophan involve in the synthesis of NADH.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two that is the two largest purchasers of mortgages in the United States. Once the loan is sold, lenders pay down their warehouse line of credit so they can originate and fund more loans. The difference between mortgage brokers and mortgage bankers is brokers do not use their own funds to fund the home loan.

Mortgage brokers have relationships with wholesale lending partners. Mortgage brokers can be associated with many third-party wholesale mortgage lenders. The maximum a mortgage broker can charge a borrower by law is 2. Comp plan on mortgage bankers does not have to be disclosed to borrowers. This is because mortgage bankers use their own money to fund loans. Under federal law, if you use your own money to fund a mortgage loan, you do not have to disclose the comp made on the loan.

Mortgage bankers normally have substantially higher comps than mortgage brokers. Mortgage rates are much higher when dealing with a mortgage banker versus a broker. Yield Spread Premium is the amount of money mortgage brokers make as their compensation.

A mortgage broker is associated with a variety of lending institutions, and he suggests options pertaining to loan package from certain lending institutions after evaluating the needs, credit rating and budget of the borrower with respect to mortgage requirements.

A mortgage broker acts as a mediator between the lender and the borrower of the mortgage.

This is where the canonical cover comes into play. A canonical cover of a set of functional dependencies F is a simplified set of functional dependencies that has the same closure as the original set F. Important definitions: Attention reader! Extraneous attributes: An attribute of a functional dependency is said to be extraneous if we can remove it without changing the closure of the set of functional dependencies.

Canonical cover: A canonical cover of a set of functional dependencies F such that ALL the following properties are satisfied:. Finding Canonical Cover Algorithm to compute canonical cover of set F: repeat 1. Use the union rule to replace any dependencies in and with. Find a functional dependency with an extraneous attribute either in or in.

If an extraneous attribute is found, delete it from. None of the attributes in the left or right side of any functional dependency is extraneous Checked by applying definition of extraneous attributes on every functional dependency. Hence, the canonical cover is equal to F. Note: There can be more than one canonical cover of a set F of functional dependencies. How to check whether a set of f. This means, we need to find out whether F canonically covers G, G canonically covers F, or none of the two canonically cover the other.

To find out, we follow the following steps: Create a singleton right hand side. This means, the attributes to the right side of the f. Consider any functional dependency XY Z. If X in itself can determine Z, then the attribute Y is extraneous and can be removed. As we can see, the occurrence of extraneous attributes is possible only in those functional dependencies where there are more than one attributes in the LHS.

So, consider the functional dependency AB C. Improve this question. Mitch Mitch 71 1 1 gold badge 1 1 silver badge 2 2 bronze badges. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.

If no relation in D contains a candidate key of R, create a new relation with a candidate key of R being the schema and add it to the result D.

There is only one candidate key of R: AD. Simplify D by removing relations that are redundant i. R is not in 2NF. It is not possible to decompose R into two relations losslessly while preserving all functional dependencies. However, it is possible to decompose into three relations losslessly and with all functional dependencies preserved:. If the department an employee is working on is independent of the skill that he has, there is redundancy. For example, the fact that employee has the skill PHP is stored twice.

Suppose we have the following relation instance under a different set of assumptions:. Consider Example 1 again. In the data modeling, there may be two classes with a many-to-many association. If one follows the data modeling and the mapping to relation guideline, two relations will be created instead of one. It should be decomposed into:. We have:. An employee provides some skills that a project needs. If an employee has a skill that is not needed by the project e.

It does not show up in R because it is embedded. We may have the following three classes with three many-to-many associations between each pair of them:. Decomposition of R into R1 and R2 will lose this embedded multivalued dependency. There are many to many binary associations between A and C as well as B and C.

Furthermore, there is a ternary association between A, B and D. Both relations are now in DKNF.

Do You know there is a sewage system in our bodies to drain out unwanted toxins, wastes, and excess of water? This sewage system is actually a Lymphatic system. As there is a network of the circulatory system with blood vessels in our body, similarly there is a lymphatic system working side with it with millions of lymphatic vessels.

As blood vessels deal with the transportation of the blood, something like that lymphatic vessels deal with the transportation of transparent fluid called lymph across the body to drain.

Secondly, Blood plays a leading role in carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide. Blood and lymph are the parts of the circulatory and lymphatic systems respectively. Most importantly, blood flows through the blood vessels and lymph flow through the lymphatic vessels.

The fluids present in our body are of two types mainly: The Intracellular fluid and the Extracellular fluid. Blood and lymph are part of extracellular fluid. The extracellular fluid is the body fluid that is not present in the cells, instead found in lymph and blood, body and muscular tissues and body cavities and channels of spinal cord and brains. It has high sodium concentration and low potassium concertation, which is just opposite to the intracellular fluid the fluid present within the cells.

Basis For Comparison Blood Lymph Meaning Blood is the part of the circulatory system, that plays the main role in carrying oxygen, carbon dioxide and other nutrients to different parts of the body.

Lymph being the part of the lymphatic system is made up of lymphocyte and white blood cells, that helps in eradication of interstitial-fluid and fight against the disease-causing agent. Colour Blood is the red colour fluid due to the presence of the RBC.

Lymph is the colourless fluid due to the absence of RBC. Function It circulates through veins, hearts and arteries. Lymph circulates through lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymph capillaries. It maintains body temperature and pH. Lymph stores lymphocytes, and transports fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Blood carries more Oxygen and digested food. Lymph also checks and filter the foreign particles and bacteria, so it is the part of the defense mechanism of the body. Other Features Blood falls under the circulatory system.

Lymph falls under the lymphatic system. Lymph contains plasma and WBC's. Blood has high protein concentration diffusible and non-diffusible like globulin, albumin, fibrinogen and nutrients. Lymph has low protein concentration that is diffusible and nutrients. Blood contains red blood cell.

There are no red blood cells in the lymph. As blood has a high amount of fibrinogen, it clots easily. Lymph has less amount of fibrinogen, and so it clots slowly. The flow of blood in the vessels is fast and in a circular motion.

The lymph has unidirectional movement, which is slow. The fluid present in the body that mainly carry oxygen and nutrients to different parts of the body it also takes away the carbon dioxide and other waste materials. Technically, a liquid which is pumped by the heart and is transported to all the parts of the body and again it gets returned to the heart to repeat the process.

Blood is a tissue as well as the fluid, as a tissue, it is a compilation of various similar cells that play their specific roles. If these group of cells are dispersed in the liquid medium plasma , it makes the blood as a fluid.

The water cycle has no starting point. But, we'll begin in the oceans, since that is where most of Earth's water exists. The sun, which drives the water cycle , heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. Infiltration rate in soil science is a measure of the rate at which a particular soil is able to absorb rainfall or irrigation. English Language Learners Definition of infiltrate : to secretly enter or join something, such as a group or an organization in order to get information or do harm.

What is the difference between infiltration and percolation in the water cycle? Category: business and finance green solutions. Infiltration and percolation are two related but different processes describing the movement of moisture through soil. Infiltration is defined as the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface and percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.

Although runoff provisions function in a manner that is identical to extended reporting period ERP provisions, there are several differences. First, ERPs are generally written for only 1-year terms, whereas runoff provisions normally encompass multi-year time spans, often as long as 5 years.

An extended reporting period ERP is a feature you can add to your claims-made professional liability insurance policy. It allows you to report claims even after your policy expires.

This policy endorsement is also known as tail coverage. Coverage is provided for claims made and reported after the expiration of a claims—made policy, if such claims arose from acts or omissions occurring during an insured period of time, before the ERC was issued or effective. ERP: Extended reporting period. Discovery Period — the period of time after expiration allowed an insured to identify and report losses occurring during the period of a policy or a bond.

An occurrence policy has lifetime coverage for the incidents that occur during a policy period, regardless of when the claim is reported. A claims-made policy is an insurance policy that covers an insured for claims on active policies, regardless of when the claim event occurred. Occurrence policies cover the insured for claim events occurring during the life of the policy or a specific period, even if a claim is filed on an inactive policy.

Claims made while no policy or extended reporting period are in effect are not covered. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel. Skip to content Home What is runoff and infiltration? Ben Davis May 30, What is runoff and infiltration?

What does the word runoff mean? What is an example of runoff? How do you spell runoff? What is runoff pollution?

Why is surface runoff important? How do you use runoff in a sentence? What are runoff sentences? Thus, high moisture content adds to the runoff rate. It involves aligning plant rows and tillage lines at right angles to the normal flow of runoff. It creates detention storage in the soil surface which decelerates down the runoff thus giving the water time to permeate into the soil.

Farming land is sloped in alternate contoured strips of a regular crop and grass aligned at right angles to the direction of the natural flow of runoff. The grass strips to slow down runoff and filters out soil washed from the land. It provides effective erosion control against runoff on well-drained erodible soils. Incorporate tree plantation, especially in areas where runoff collects. As runoff soaks into and percolates through the soil, plant roots help to absorb and filter out pollutants.

The system mourned its champions but came back with greater resolve to honor their memory. In a fluke of circumstance, the timing coincided with the government shutdown on November 15th, The world responded, and finally, so did the EEOC.

The future of the Hooters Girl was secured. By the system boasted customers from all age groups and all walks of life. Hooters has sponsored a jet car, shovel racing, and its own Arena Football team that everyone loved to beat. The tour featured a 90 minute variety show packed with music and humor. The show, which was designed to resemble the classic Bob Hope USO tours, was described by many troops as the most fun and best attended morale show in years. The 7 shows were attended by over 15, troops and UC3 and the 6 Calendar Girls figure they signed over , autographs on the special tour merchandise.

This casual, fun alternative to the giants on the strip, HCH brings a whole new unfussy element to Sin City, and compared to some, a little decorum, too. Decorum at Hooters? You check us out! And they said we would never last! Not many brands hit this kind of milestone, but by the grace of the orange shorts and World Famous Chicken Wings, here we are.

We have always prided ourselves on engraining ourselves in the communities in which we do business, and those communities have returned the favor. They have kept us thriving for over three decades.

Hoots is primarily to-go, with easy online ordering and on-site touchscreen kiosks, in addition to traditional counter ordering. This particular restaurant is popular for their so-called Hooter girls or waitresses that typically have voluptuous physiques and the expected big breasts.

These waitresses also wear skimpy and revealing outfits that cater to a largely male clientele. This female sexual theme has made Hooters a very recognizable brand in the restaurant industry.

As all of you know, diamonds are anything but affordable, and graphite is — well, pretty cheap. Some of you might not have seen this big of a difference coming — but just remember how much does a graphite pencil cost. Well, the amount of graphite that goes inside your average pencil would be worth a staggering times more if it was a diamond heart.

Given the fact that there are only limited amounts of these materials, some of you might pose a valid question of the prices rising. Last year, Turkey ranked as the country with the most reserves of graphite that were around 90 million metric tons. China has around 73 million, and Brazil has around 70 million metric tons of graphite in reserves.

That might put into perspective how widely available this material is, especially when compared to a diamond. Russia is the country with the biggest reserves of diamonds in the world, with over million carats in their reserves. When you look at this data, you can clearly see that the difference in the reserves is also one of the largest ones — literally. And the rarity of a particular material plays a huge role in determining its price and value.

As you probably know, scarcity is one of the most significant factors for anything naturally formed on — or in — the Earth, such as gas, gold, and diamonds. The first thing that binds these two together is the fact that they both originate, or are a derivate, of pure carbon. The only difference is those processes that we talked about earlier.

It is known that graphite can be converted into diamond when subjected to high pressure and high temperatures. Similarities Between Graphite and Diamonds Carbon. Both graphite and diamonds are made out of pure carbon.

Covalent Bonds. The bonds that hold the carbon to each other are covalent bonds. High Melting Points. The melting points of both graphite and diamond are very high.

Naturally Occuring. Expert Answer: Both graphite and diamond are forms of carbon. As such, they are said to be allotropes of carbon. Both occur naturally.

Both are produced in the earth in geothermal processes. Both can be made artificially. Both are normally solids and highly stable. Diamond is a form of carbon in which each carbon atom is joined to four other carbon atoms, forming a giant covalent structure. As a result, diamond is very hard and has a high melting point. It does not conduct electricity as there are no delocalised electrons in the structure.

Integrated with its tendency to be clear, this causes the anemic, clear appearance of the majority of diamond. Blue diamonds come from boron pollutants, yellow diamond from nitrogen contamination, brownish diamonds from latticework defects, and environment-friendly diamonds from radiation direct exposure. Diamond have a hardness far surpassing compared to that of any other substance understood to us.

It has a very high level of openness and dispersion or 'fire'. As a result of its hardness a lot of the diamonds which are mined are made use of for industrial objective as well as few are taken right into gems.

Graphite is a non-metal. Both Diamond and also Graphite are a crystalline kind of carbon Both are made of pure carbon. They are the same in the chemical structure, they vary a whole lot in the physical make-up.

On the Moh s array, Diamond rates as 10 making it the hardest mineral as compared to Graphite, which is the softest. Thus, based upon the physical buildings, they are utilized for various functions. Also, as a result of the rarity, a Diamond is far more expensive than Graphite. Although they are made from the exact same component Carbon , a Diamond differs from Graphite in the atomic structure. In Diamonds, the atoms are carefully packed with together with each atom connected to various other carbon atoms as compared to Graphite where the bonds in between the layers are weak.

This is the reason why Diamonds have a extremely solid as well as inflexible framework. Both are pure carbon, however vary in crystalline framework because they are adhered differently. A carbon atom has 4 electrons that are unpaired as well as can develop bonds by pairing with electrons from various other atoms. When it comes to diamond and graphite we are speaking about just various other atoms of carbon.

In Diamond, all of the electrons are matched an covalent bonds to other carbon atoms. The diamond framework is hard to envision in 3 dimensional room, however very easy to see in a 3 dimensional version.

An average atom is about 0. If you have a nice x-ray source that provides a very specific wavelength of light, and you also have a very nice crystal, you can get very nice diffraction patterns. This technique is known as single-crystal x-ray diffraction. Darker spots come from heavier atoms higher atomic weights and lighter spots are due to lighter atoms. You cannot tell, though, what element is what.

Carbon atoms and nitrogen atoms, for example, are hard to tell apart in x-ray diffraction. You would need some additional measurements to confirm which elements make up your solid substance. Now: does it matter how atoms are arranged in a solid?

The answer here too is: Yes! The best example of this is carbon. We all know that carbon is one of the most important elements in our planet; all living things contain carbon. Pure carbon is known to us as diamond, if arranged one way in three dimensions; and graphite if arranged in another.

In diamond, all the carbon atoms have strong chemical bonds to four other carbon atoms, making perfect tetrahedra on and on throughout the crystal. In graphite, all the carbon atoms have strong chemical bonds to three other carbon atoms, making sheets that look like chicken wire; weak forces hold the sheets together in stacks that can slide past each other easily. Clearly the properties of diamond and graphite are very different.

Diamond is one of the hardest materials known, is transparent to light, and does not conduct electricity at all. Graphite is soft, gray, and can conduct electricity reasonably well.

In these lines, Patroclus asks Achilles for permission to join the fighting. Then, Patroclus dies and Achilles understands the importance of mortality, too. Later, the heroes, Gilgamesh and Achilles, undergo challenges and conflicts as part of their quest or struggle. We can say that it is a similarity for these two epic works. After death of Endiku, Gilgamesh begins to search for immortality and undergoes a lot of challenges and conflicts.

There is a same situation in the Iliad, too. After death of Patroclus, Achilles wants to revenge of Patroclus and encounters conflicts and challanges, such as; battles and fightings. Another similarity about characters is that Achilles and Gilgamesh are the sons of goddesses and mortal men. Namely, the major characters have some similarities of their positions in life. We can also say that the characters Enkidu and Patroclus are similar. Although they die in different ways, their death for the fame of their leader.

They are also in a sense uncivilized. Secondly, we can find and see similarities about themes in these epic works, such as; friendship, mortality and death, pride, and religion. Actually, we can think that times of these epics are very close, and these themes might be important at that times. Therefore, there are similarities among themes. Eventually, we can easily find similarities in themes of the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Iliad. For instance; we have already mentioned about friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu and Achilles and Patroclus.

When Patroclus dies, Achilles feels so bad, too. He swears to take revenge of him. Therefore, we can see that how the major characters like their friends. Namely, the importance of friendship is similar in both of the works. Another mutual theme is the mortality.

Gilgamesh and Achilles are semi-god, but they have a weakness which is mortality. Both of the works always mentions about mortality and remembers it.

It may be just for plot. An example from the Iliad;. Throwing first, he struck the horn of the horse-haired helmet,. Even though moments like this in the Iliad may seem repetitive and gross, they are important to the poem as a whole, because scenes like this remind us that death is not abstract; it strikes down real people, and it hurts. Moreover, Homer sometimes contrasts mortal people and immortal gods in the Iliad.

If we want to give an example from The Epic of Gilgamesh;. You have turned dark and do not hear me! He touched his hearth, but it beat no longer. King Gilgamesh cannot believe death of Enkidu in this lines.

Namely, the epic heroes understant that it is not impossible to escape from death during their quests. The other similarity is pride. For example from the Gilgamesh;. There is no rival who can raise his weapon against him.

His fellows stand at the alert , attentive to his orders? The narrator praises Gilgamesh in these lines. Moreover, he is shown as a powerfull and prideful king who acts bravely against to his enemies and difficulties.

We can see same situation in the Iliad, too. The characters act proudly in the Iliad. For instance; Achilles wants equality and if there is no equality or if there is injustice, he fights for his right and he acts proudly against to his enemies.

We can see similarity about religion theme in the works. There are gods or goddesses more than one in the both of them and also there are mighty semi-gods. We can contrast this theme with examples. Achilleus in amazement turned about, and straightway knew Pallas Athene and the terrible eyes shining. Come then, do not take your sword in your hand, keep clear of fighting, though indeed with words you may abuse him, and it will be that way.

As we see from these lines, we can see homeric gods and goddesses very much in the Iliad. Achilles willingly lets hundreds die due to an insult to his honor, and a loss of glory. The noble soldier Sarpedon, wishes for peace but fights for glory.

Dolon marches off in a quest for glory, but is nowhere near ready. Achilles has a hunger for glory that is unquenchable.

Achilles in the heel, his one weak point, and the greatest warrior of all met his inevitable fate of death Homer. Achilles was killed at the hands of the young prince that started the war, fate finally caught up with him, the tragic hero falls. Achilles came face to face with his fate in Troy.

By going to war he was signing his own death certificate, but because of his hubris he went and fought. He knew he must decide whether to go home and live out his life in luxury, or go to war and surely die. The only benefit of his death would be the immortality and legendary status he would receive in the history of the world. Which brings us to our question: Was Achilles suicidal? In determining the mental state of Achilles it is important to assess his relational ties with others.

He loved his mother and looked to her for guidance and help. The very sight of him throws fear into the hearts of, otherwise courageous warriors.

With his fierce nature and taste for war also comes his prideful ways. When this delicate pride is damaged by the public disgracing Agamemnon brings upon him by taking his war prize, he selfishly decides to withdraw from battle. Achilles goes to his divine mother for the malicious reason of asking Her to beg Zeus for help in getting reprisal on Agamemnon.

By killing Patroclus, Hector fills with confidence and is eager to continue the fight and get to Achilles. His arrogance leads to a frantic retreat from the one-man-army that is Achilles and the loss of many soldiers. Throughout the war, Hector spoke like a true hero, but some of his actions said. Once he arrives, Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh that nothing is forever. That houses are not made to stand forever and rivers not always to rise and that man is the same.

The gods have decreed that man be mortal, although the day of his death they do not tell. He explains to Gilgamesh that the quest for immortality is pointless and unavoidable by the very nature of being human. Not satisfied, Gilgamesh then asks Utnapishtim who is himself a man how he managed to achieve immortality. Out of rage, he takes advantage of his supernatural lineage and requests that his mother, Thetis, sway Zeus in favor of Trojans.

He refuses to pour a libation to honor Zeus with hands covered in dirt and blood blood. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh explores the possibility of immortality following the saddening death of his friend and brother, Enkidu. Gilgamesh, feeling the fear of his own mortality, sets out on a journey to search for a way to preserve himself. Although the journey that he endures is much larger than life, Gilgamesh comes to realize that he can never achieve immortality.

Before the creation of Enkidu, Gilgamesh is a man without an equal match. He is an individual with overwhelming power, and it is because of this that makes Gilgamesh a very arrogant person. His new companion quickly emerged into a brotherly love that had no bounds.

Attention, Advanced Students : Can you think of any other basis of comparison between E-business vs traditional business? These will leave you with plenty of options. Differences Between Traditional Commerce and E-commerce. Here is a condensed list of a face-off between traditional commerce vs E-commerce. E-commerce is facilitated by technology that is rapidly progressing. It is faceless and efficient. Traditional business involves face-to-face interactions and the exchange of goods or services.

Both disciplines accept payments via cash or other digital means. E-commerce has no boundaries. It is a global phenomenon. For example, if you are searching for a book on Amazon's Indian platform, and you realise that your required book is available only overseas, you have the option to purchase from that specific country.

Unlike E-commerce, traditional commerce has geographic locations. These limitations have enabled the engines of E-commerce to chug far ahead in terms of sales and margins. In E-commerce, advertisements are digital. Surrogate and third-party advertisements are prevalent.

Offline or traditional businesses rely on banners and hoardings, avenues which have been available for centuries. E-commerce can boast one-to-one marketing channels, while traditional commerce only has one-way marketing and information flow.

Delivery times of goods or services are a crucial factor. In E-commerce, delivery can, at times, happen on the same day an order is placed. In conventional commerce, however, delivery times are minimal. E-business offers no personalised experience, as you cannot physically check any goods you are buying.

This experience is available only via traditional business. The chances of 'returns' of goods are higher on E-commerce platforms than in traditional commerce. Overall, subjectivity bridges differences between traditional commerce and E-commerce. E-commerce is the trending form of business being carried nowadays by most of the business traders or sellers for retail and wholesale as well. Traditional commerce is still popular where there is no reachability for the delivery of the goods and services to faraway places from the urban areas.

Also where few people are not in a position to attain the digital gadgets come under uneducated and traditional commerce is a popular form of business in this case. E-commerce has reached most of the target audience now as the digital devices can be available at lowest prices and lot of competitive sellers, this has also become easier and day by day the connectivity to the digital world is also getting increased due to the efforts being done by the e-commerce industry.

Both E-commerce vs Traditional commerce models are still popular based on the availability, requirement, and emergence of the requirement to the customers. This has a been a guide to the top difference between E-commerce vs Traditional commerce. Here we also discuss the E-commerce vs Traditional commerce key differences with infographics, and comparison table.
