For the final paper, keep in mind that the critical review should be ~4-5 pages in length (maximum), not including the title page and the reference list. The idea is not to present a standard research paper. Instead, a critical review asks you as the reader to really engage with the materials. You should understand the time frame in which the text was published, which may include research on the economic situation and politics of the time. You should understand a bit about the author, what they studied or did as a vocation, how their childhood influenced their world view, and what mark they left on the field of environmental science and perhaps even the world at large. You should also explain whether the book was contentious and how it was received. This is a critical review, and you need to understand all aspects of this book.
One suggestion I see quite routinely in getting an author ready for writing a critical review is to read and re-read the book as many times as possible. The more familiar you are with the book, the easier time you will have diving into the content for the review. As for formatting, be sure that you follow APA style for the paper itself and the references used throughout the text and in the reference list. Our library has some fantastic resources to help you through APA citation style. The structure of the paper should include an Introduction (note in APA style, you do not generally include a heading for the introduction) followed by three separate sections (i.e., Content, Delivery Style, and Assessment) and then a cohesive and persuasive Conclusion. Each of these sections should be a minimum of a paragraph, but it is expected that the Assessment will make up the bulk of the paper and should include several key points that you identified. The Assessment section is where you offer the real critique of the book. Be sure that you read the materials available in the Lessons throughout the course on the sections and style of a critical review, as this is not a research paper or a summary of the book. Keep in mind that the Assessment section should not be pure opinion. Yes, you will offer a critique of the book, but this must be supported by other writings, evidence from outside sources, etc.
Submit the critical review paper in the Assignments section. Note that this course uses turnitin software, and all papers will be run through this service. Students can review the turnitin report after submission

Application of graphene and carbon nanotube composite materials

 

Abstract

graphene and carbon nanotube composite materials have some physical characteristics including mechanics and electricity. Both of them are allotropes of each other and have many similarities. However, the composite materials including graphene and carbon nanotube have the all of the advantages, but also have the unique and different material structure. The composite materials have the potential influence on the special structure, especially modulation effect to match the more advanced requirements.

This research proposal will focus on the possible application of the create composite materials with graphene and carbon nanotube in the advanced production including the structure and special functions.

1. Introduction

• History of research situation about graphene and carbon nanotube
• Constructing a neural network by using carbon nanotubes as a unit of simulated nerve cells
• A research about Graphene as a thermal conductive film, insulation protective layer
• A theoretical verification about the 3D structure of graphene and carbon nanotube composite material
• The potential development of the GCNCM
• The drawbacks of the GCNCM

2. Preparation

(1), the preparation of composite materials. The preparation of both carbon nanotubes and graphene has been a challenging task, whether it is directed carbon nanotubes, or large-scale layer controllable independent crystal intact graphene. The challenges faced by composite materials will be greater, composite methods, device preparation temperature, controllability, etc., and the realization of any of these targets is a big problem. The controllability of composite preparation is the main breakthrough to realize the preparation possibility of the simplest products.

(2) the performance of the device. Although in theory, composite materials should have good performance, in practice, their performance is affected by many physical and chemical factors. The elimination of these factors, and control will require a lot of experiments to achieve.

(3) the rational characterization of materials, devices, and the corresponding means of characterization

3. methodology

(1) the possibility of Chemical Vapor Deposition

(2) The construction of the all-carbon structure: This topic can be used as a reference at present. Through analysis, a large number of advanced processes for semiconductor fabrication will be used: (a). Lithography. , film deposition. 3, diffusion, and so on. And there are the following problems: 1, each process debugging. 2, unknown interference. 3, process matching. 4, device performance debugging

(3) Characterization methods: electrical, optical, mechanical and other performance tests, Raman spectroscopy, AFM, SEM, TEM material characterization

 

At its simplest, Macbeth is a dramatic rendering of the tragic hero; however, in our discussions we explore Renaissance and Universal issues of:

o fate versus freewill;

o order versus chaos:

o the theology of goodness versus evil;

o the psychology of desire, conscience, violence, and repression;

o gender, manhood, marriage, misogyny and cowardice;

o time—the anxieties of the future and the depression of being trapped by the past;

o and finally, equivocation—lies, truth, power, and/or appearance versus reality

o (if there is another issue not mentioned here that you like, you are free to explore it).

For this assessment you have 2 categories of prompts. Whichever idea/prompt (I, II) you choose, your assignment is not only to decide what the play is saying about one of these themes (your thesis), but also to analyze how the major motifs of the play (imagery, symbol, irony, equivocation) reinforce your idea (your support and analysis). Use textual evidence to support your arguments

Minimum Requirements:about 8 pages of Times New Roman, 12 point font); MLA formatting with parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page.

Macbeth Essay prompts:(choose one) (literary analysis or macbeth synthesis)

The Literary Analysis essay promt:

• Purpose: research, analyze and (ultimately) interpret the universal and/or the Renaissance concerns of the play (your elucidation of a theme of the play)—at the most basic, your essay answers the question: Why should anyone (who’s human) care about the play?

• Audience: those who’ve read/seen Macbeth, but either lack your understanding of the play, or perhaps even disagree with your interpretation.

• Prompt:

o First consider the list of topics/conflicts at the top of this page (maybe free-write and brainstorm on them, trying to make connections between the topics and characters, motifs, and specific quotes of the play.

 After making your connections between the topics and Macbeth, use your ideas to begin your essay by tracing the imagery of the play—a single image or a series of related images—and show how that imagery enhances, reinforces, underscores, emphasizes, augments, and adds depth to your idea.

The Macbeth Synthesis Essay prompt:

Purpose: research, analyze, and synthesize the universal and/or the Renaissance concerns of the play (your interpretation of theme) with a subject from history, culture, or psychology.

• Audience: those who’ve read/seen Macbeth, but either lack your understanding of the play—especially in the context of your synthesized topic, or perhaps even disagree with your interpretation.

• Topics:

o Macbeth and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

o Lady Macbeth and Post-Partum depression

o Macbeth: Shakespeare on Drunkenness

o Macbeth as Renaissance propaganda

o Macbeth: The History of Targeting Women with Witchcraft and Misogyny

Instructions

Imagine you are a junior researcher at a world-renowned, high-tech laboratory that receives millions of dollars in government grants each year. You have been assigned the task of writing a proposal for the DARPA-BAA-15-54 research grant from the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that will focus on a topic within the software defined networking, mobile computing, Internet of Things, or related domains.

Your proposal must be in APA format, contain at least ten academic references, and be of the quality expected of doctoral-level work. The proposal may be an extension of a previously written problem-statement paper that intrigues you (and is research-worthy) or a completely new topic derived from the readings and research. If in doubt, please share your idea with the professor and request feedback.

Write a ten-page research proposal (not including the title page, table of contents, and reference list) that contains the elements listed below:

• Title Page
  • Title: The title of your work should be concise and describe what your research will entail.
  • Student Name
  • Course ID and Name
  • University
  • Date
• Table of Contents
• Background
  • This section will provide enough information so that the reader understands the general context, settings, and basis for the proposed research. A non-expert may read the proposal, so ensure there issufficient framing and discussion of the underlying concepts.
• Problem Statement
  • This section will focus on the presentation of a literature-supported, open research question or problem that must be addressed. Additional areas should include detailed discussions of its scope, nature, what the problem is, how it developed or evolved into a problem, why it is a problem, and a brief discussion as to the other works that establish it as a problem within the literature.
• Goal
  • This section provides a concise definition of the goal of the study, what it will accomplish, and how it will be measured. That is, how you will define success and failure of the study (if applicable).
• Relevance and Significance
  • This section provides additional support for the problem statement and goal by discussing why the problem exists, who is affected by it, and the impact of the problem. Additionally, discussion of the study’s significance, the promise of its outcome, and its outcomes will address the stated problem.
• Literature Review
  • This section will focus on clearly identifying the major areas that the research will focus on to establish a foundation of the study within the body of knowledge. The presentation of literature is an expansion of an annotated bibliography that justifies the problem, hypothesis, impact, and significance of the study.
• Approach
  • A detailed explanation of how the study will be undertaken and how the goal will be achieved. This should take the form of a discussion of the methodology used, each step, milestone, and an explanation of each. Ensure that the approach is supported by the literature, as it cannot be based solely on opinion or experience.
  • Threats and Hurdles
  • What threats (both technical and non-technical) will your resource be faced with? How will you plan on mitigating these challenges as they arise? What resources can you use to mitigate these threats?
• References

 

For the second part of your assignment, you should create a brief (3-5 minute) video based on your proposal. Create the video as if you were having a conversation with your colleagues trying to convince them of your idea. Be sure to speak clearly, and definitively and concisely make your points. This video should touch on each of the primary areas discussed on your paper.

Length: 10-12 pages, not including title and reference pages

Video Length: 3-5 minutes, uploaded as a .mp4

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Guidelines for Paper 2—Poetry
Literature Review Assignment
Write a 3-4 page paper in which you perform a literature view and a close reading of any one of the
poems we have read for the class. The paper should focus on ONE major theme of the poem (your
choice) AND how the poet inverts or subverts our expectations and beliefs about that theme. Be
careful not to choose something too obvious or repetitive (e.g. don’t write paper about death in
“Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” or about poetry in “Poetry.” – Find more interesting themes!)
Your explanation of the bolded statement above will constitute your thesis statement.
A literature review is a summary of what academics and critics have said about a particular topic or
work of literature (NOT, as you may have thought, your evaluation of whether a poem is good or bad).
I will provide you with one scholarly article about a poem, and you will have to find two more on your
own to summarize and engage with in your paper. This means that you will have to carefully read and
annotate these three secondary sources, and write about them coherently in your paper.
Remember: The poem is the primary source because it is the object of study; the scholarly articles are
secondary sources because they interpret the object of study.
The source I give you will be fairly general and will hopefully fit whatever theme you choose. When you
are doing research to find two more secondary sources, pay attention to the themes explored.
After the literature review, you will perform a close reading of the poem. Remember that close reading
means a focused and sustained analysis (that is, breakdown and explanation). Close reading even of
poetry takes as a given the idea that the text being analyzed is a work of fiction and does not take into
account the life of the author.
Close reading usually does not seek to interpret the work of literature in terms of its historical context,
although it does pay close attention to any references to history, the history of ideas, or to other fiction.
Remember that a close reading does not mean a summary. While you can integrate a little bit of
summary of the poem into your paper, you should write for an audience familiar with the text.
Close reading is very much non-personal to you the writer. Close reading mostly seeks to find and
explain the internal structures of a piece of text.

Read Frankenstein Novel by Mary Shelley and write a short paper, focus on Volume 3 of the book and chapter 15

Dont make the paper too long, I only need 800 word

Following is the specific requirement:
Your paper need to be clearly written and express some central point. You should assume the reader of the paper has already read the text you are responding to, and your paper, while it can (and probably should) summarize pertinent sections of the text you are writing about, should not read like a book report or ONLY a summary. Remember: you are the prosecuting attorney
making your case to me, the jury/reader. Build your short paper towards your central point as clearly as possible.

Write three SMART goals applying your StrengthsFinder results to career preparation issues. How will you use these strengths in the planning process for personal advancement? Write your 3 goals as a student preparing for a future career.
You will remit your quality paper in a Word document. Use 12 point Times new Roman font, with 1” margins.
see Writing SMART goals for more information and examples for more information and examples.

SMART goals are not random goals. There is a 5 step process which needs to be included for every goal (actually, a 6-step, if you add in how your Strengths will help you achieve this goal).
Here is what I am looking for:
• 3 personal/professional goals to be outlined (try to focus on career preparation or career advancement, etc)
• Each of these goals needs to address the SMART acronym (in other words it needs to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-based). You must address each of these elements individually and how it will be accomplished. That is the very essence of SMART goals (as opposed to simply writing out goals).
• Then based on your strengths from your StrengthsFinders assessment, add another S (SMARTS) and focus on how you will use one or more of your strengths to attain this goal.
The SMART Goal link has a Questionnaire at the end. You should follow that format!
