Comparing the depiction of Indian women in the paintings of RAJA RAVI VARMA during the colonial period and in the works of FRANCIS NEWTON SOUZA during the postcolonial period
Comparing the depiction of Indian women in the works of RAJA RAVI VARMA during the colonial period and in the works of FRANCIS NEWTON SOUZA during the postcolonial period ABSTRACT Indian art paintings are unique: they are a reflection of the cultural, societal and political aspects of the nation passing through various eras, stretching for a period of 10,000 years. It is not surprising to say that Indian painting has been the trailblazer that gave a very exclusive genre of paintings to the world. The paintings are awe inspiring in every period starting from the pre-historic paintings in the Bhimabetka Caves dating 5500 BC in Central India to the modern paintings of the 21st century. Although the paintings are immortal in all the eras, be it the pre-historic period, the Buddhist period, the murals of Ajanta and Ellora, the Mughal period, British period or the Modern Age, they take a very formidable twist at the turn of the 20th century while India was oscillating between the colonial and the post-colonial period. This essay explores the paintings of the most distinguished painters of the 19th century such as Raja Ravi Varma and of the 20th century such as Francis Newton Souza in the colonial and postcolonial eras respectively. Their paintings are peerless not only for their beauty but also for the ideologies and philosophy of the painters. A close investigation of their

Non-Renewable and Renewable Solutions to Australias Future Electrical Energy Needs
Energy Use In Australia Non-Renewable and Renewable Solutions to Australia’s Future Electrical Energy Needs Graph 1: Predicted population growth of Australia by the year 2050 (Larsen, 2010) With Australia’s population to likely double in size by 2050 and lifestyles to become further dependent on affordable energy, our electrical energy needs will no doubt increase. As current non-renewable sources diminish, we will have to turn to other sources-both renewable and non-renewable- if we are to secure Australia’s electrical energy future. This will require us to reduce our green house emissions and develop scientific solutions to solve this energy puzzle. Energy Use In Australia As Australia’s population continues to rapidly increase and will most probably be around 42 million by the year 2050, the future of our accessibility to current electrical energy sources will be threatened. In the future, the demand for electrical energy is undoubtedly going to increase with the International Energy Agency predicting that global energy demand will grow by around 40% by 2035 (Australian Government, 2012). However, non-renewable resources for electrical energy will slowly diminish, affecting all aspects of our daily lives and many of our day-to-day activities. Electricity is fundamentally important to how Australians live today. Electricity runs almost every appliance in homes
Advertisment and technology. Planning an ad campaign for Anti-Bully spray
AOI: ENV UQ: What are the advantages of advertisement and in what way does it influence our environment? What is an ad and what is it used for? My new Computer technology project is about creating an advertisement. In my investigation I have to explain in details about benefits of ads for community, choose a target group and technique for my ad and most importantly present several ideas and then choose one. I also have to explain in details how this topic has an impact on our environment. After creating several designs and then choosing one and creating a plan, I have to make my creation. So, what is advertisement? Advertisement is a public and paid communication that promotes in a usually positive way goods, services, ideas and people through means such as radio, television, internet, newspapers and etc. Ads inform and motivate people. Their main objective is to change the thinking pattern of the people from their target group and in a way, and get them to do what the advertiser wants. Ads can also influence people’s attitudes and behavior in a different way – for example political party before a local election. Apart from promoting commercial goods, advertising can also be used to educate and motivate the public about non-commercial issues such as AIDS, deforestation, family planning, etc. New investigations are created everyday and all of those new products must be
Group 4 Chemistry - Amylase
Nick Gourlay SCH4UIB Group 4 Project: Activity of Amylase Lab Partner: Neil Desai Date: February 26 2008 Research Question What is the effect of concentration, pH and temperature on the reaction rate of salivary amylase in the breakdown of starch? Hypothesis I believe that concentration, pH and temperature all have an effect on the activity of salivary amylase in the breakdown of starch and thus effect the reaction rate. I base my hypothesis on the following: . Salivary Amylase, also known as ptyalin, is found in saliva and is key to the breakdown of starch. Ptyalin therefore is classified as an enzyme under the following definition. * Enzyme: A protein (or protein-based molecule) that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living organism. 2. It is known that enzyme activity is affected by the three following factors * Concentration of Enzyme * Temperature of Surroundings * pH of Surroundings Therefore we can predict that as we change theses three variables we will notice a change in the activity of salivary amylase. To make further predictions regarding rates of reaction we must take our understanding of salivary amylase as a human protein into account. It is possible to predict as the concentration of salivary amylase is increased we will see an increased rate of reaction as this is constant with all enzymes. We should see an increase in reaction rate as the
Group 4 Chemistry
Chemistry The chemistry experiment is aimed at testing whether the concentration of salt influences the pH level in the tested water types. The frequency of the opening and closing of the barnacles may be influenced by the salt concentration and the pH level of the water environment in which the barnacles live. Generally, seawater has a pH level of 7.7-8.3 while fresh water has a pH level of 7.0. The high pH level is a result of high concentration of OH ion in a sample. Seawater is a basic solution because the presence of basic salts in the water, such as Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) and Potassium Carbonate (K2CO3). Question Is there a correlation between water salinity and its pH level? Hypothesis If it is true that sea water has a higher pH level than fresh water does, then intertidal water will have a higher pH level than stream water does because of intertidal's higher salinity. Independent variable: salinity (g) Dependent variable: pH level Controlled variables: temperature of experiment environment (room temperature), amount of water for each evaporation procedure (5mL), hot plate temperature (550º C), pH meter starts at 7.0 at the beginning of the testing, same amount of water for pH testing (40 mL), ensure all testing water all free of large contaminants by filtering Materials 6 buckets 5 50mL beakers electronic balance hot plate
Investigating Calories in an Apple
Alexander Zouev Physics IB HL 7/05/06 GROUP 4 PROJECT Umbrella topic: Heat. Subtopic: Heat and an Apple Physics Lab: Investigating Calories in an Apple Aim: To measure the amount of Calories in a fresh average-sized apple, a dry apple ringlet, and an oven-dried apple ringlet using a Calorimeter. Theory: All foods including apples have energy within them. Our human bodies can convert this stored energy that's found in the foods (calories) and convert it into chemical energy which we use and need to do work. A calorie can be defined as "the amount of energy (heat) required to raise the temperature of 1 gram (g) of water 1 degree Celsius (Cº)". The word calorie gets its origins from Latin as the word "calor" actually means "heat" (our umbrella topic!) in Latin. All foods have a specific calorific value - a hamburger has many Calories, a carrot has much less. When calories are written with a capital C, as they mostly are on packaging, it means they are in fact kilocalories (there are 1000 calories in a kilocalorie). A simple way to measure the energy or the calorific value found it foods is by using a calorimeter. We used this device previously in physics to investigate latent and specific heats. It is a device that measures the heat generated by a chemical reaction or a change in state. What the device does is it insulates (at its best) the reaction in order

Please include Dates of discussions and Names of individuals and detail the “minutes” of your meetings. Remember, in order to justify 10 hours of IA you must document at least 10 hours of work Overarching Topic: “Industrial/Commercial Process” . PLANNING STAGE Explain all of the finalised details of your specific Planning What is the process? Our process was an industrial one called Aquaponics. Aquaponics is basically the combination of aquaculture (raising fish in a tank) and hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). It can be used in the farming industry as farmers use it to farm at a large scale (acres). Also people harvest a vast amount of edible fish from this closed ecosystem. With that in mind, we would grow fish and plants together in one integrated system and test the chemistry of the water in relation to different elements present in the system, such as: Ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates in a nitrogen cycle. Then we would investigate the biological impact on the

I have chosen Human Ingenuity as my Area of Interaction because it is an interesting topic to learn about. I also chose world records because I love to have a challenge in my life, and seeing other people hold weird and wacky records is very interesting to me. Even before I had the idea of trying to beat a record, I thought it was such thrills watching other people reach their achievements and goals of beating a world record. Ever since seeing those people, I've always wanted to beat a world record. World records fit in with Human Ingenuity because it's how people try and achieve their goals to make their dreams come true. This year we learned about human achievements and it interested me a lot. This is why I decided to do World Records for my personal project. This topic interests me because world records are very cool and challenging. World records have always interested me, because it is cool how people can beat these records for crazy and interesting things at any time. World records, such as sword swallowing and another, most scorpions held in mouth. For my project I decided to try and break the world record for most straws in your mouth at once. The current record is 400 straws at once, and held there for 10 seconds. My goal was to beat this world record and have Guinness world records put me in the record book. I picked this goal at first because it was at
