The human brain is the center of the nervous system that controls thoughts, movements, memories and decisions. It has evolved over time to become more complicated, though scientists still do not fully understand it. The brain contains billions of nerve cells that communicate around the body and is protected by the skull. Though small at only 2% of body weight, the brain uses 20% of the body's energy.
This document summarizes a student's final project (PSM) to design improvements to an existing car jack. The objectives are to modify the car jack's functionality and ergonomics. The scope is to design a 3-ton hydraulic car jack that is easier for users to operate, especially women, by reducing the required physical effort. The methodology involves gathering customer needs through surveys, generating concepts, analyzing designs, and producing detailed drawings of the improved car jack components and assembly. The goal is to develop a more user-friendly and energy-efficient car jack design.
The document describes the design of a hydraulic bending test machine built by the Engineering Mechanics Laboratory at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory. Key aspects of the design include:
1) Modifying an existing 100,000 lbf compression test frame by removing parts and adding steel I-beams, wood beam supports, a 38,000 lbf hydraulic cylinder, and load head assemblies to enable testing of dimension lumber up to 20 ft long and 20,000 lbf load.
2) Selecting W12x65 steel I-beams that provide adequate stiffness for the expected loads while maintaining a small beam depth.
3) Adding steel plates and bolts to separate and stabilize the I-beams during eccentric loading conditions

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC OF THE BLACK CAT BY EDGAR ALLAN POE (1).pdfnabilahk908
油
Psychoanalytic Analysis of The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe explores the deep psychological dimensions of the narrators disturbed mind through the lens of Sigmund Freuds psychoanalytic theory. According to Freud (1923), the human psyche is structured into three components: the Id, which contains primitive and unconscious desires; the Ego, which operates on the reality principle and mediates between the Id and the external world; and the Superego, which reflects internalized moral standards.
In this story, Poe presents a narrator who experiences a psychological breakdown triggered by repressed guilt, aggression, and internal conflict. This analysis focuses not only on the gothic horror elements of the narrative but also on the narrators mental instability and emotional repression, demonstrating how the imbalance of these three psychic forces contributes to his downfall.
