The Iberian Lynx is an endangered species of lynx located in Southern Spain. They are known for their tawny‚ spotted fur and ‘beard’ like fur covering their lower head. The Iberian Lynx is a highly specialised hunter with several adaptions like their foreshortened skull which increases bite force and aids their ability to catch small prey. Up to 86% of the Lynx’s diet consists of European rabbit. They will also feed on rodents and other small animals such as birds. They hunt mainly at twilight

The Iberian peninsula was very ethnically diverse. Celts‚ Phoenicians‚ greeks‚ Jews‚ Romans‚ etc.‚ inhabited those lands. The Spaniards believed in political and religious consolidation and also had an idea of a original Christians Spain. After 711 southern and central parts of the Iberians peninsula was populated by‚ what the Spaniards‚ “Moros‚” who were Islamic. This caused tension between the Spaniards and the Moros because the contradicting religion and culture. The threat of other religions

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change intemperature.[1] All materials have this tendency. When a substance is heated‚ its particles begin moving more and thus usually maintain a greater average separation. Materials which contract with increasing temperature are rare; this effect is limited in size‚ and only occurs within limited temperature ranges. The degree of expansion divided by the change in temperature is called the material’s coefficient

The Reconquista was characterized by Islamic conquest of Hispania‚ the collapse of the last Islamic state in Iberia and the expansion of Christian kingdoms‚ a history explored in this paper.

Thermal Expansion Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature‚ through heat transfer. The coefficient of thermal expansion describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature. Specifically‚ it measures the fractional change in size per degree change in temperature at a constant pressure. Several types of coefficients have been developed: volumetric‚ area‚ and linear. This is used depending on the particular application

Purpose: In this lab‚ we will heat up a metal rod and measure how much it expands. We will calculate its Coefficient of Linear Expansion‚ α‚ and prove the formula for thermal expansion‚ ΔL = αLiΔT. Also‚ we heat up a known volume of methyl alcohol and calculate its Coefficient of Volume Expansion‚ β‚ and prove the formula for volume expansion of a liquid ΔV = βViΔT. Equipment: Hollow Metal Rods of different metals‚ Steam Generator‚ Stand‚ Burner‚ Flexible Hoses‚ Motion Amplifier‚ Micrometer

Determinant Expansion by Minors Also known as "Laplacian" determinant expansion by minors‚ expansion by minors is a technique for computing thedeterminant of a given square matrix . Although efficient for small matrices‚ techniques such as Gaussian elimination are much more efficient when the matrix size becomes large. Let denote the determinant of a matrix ‚ then where is a so-called minor of ‚ obtained by taking the determinant of with row and column "crossed out." For example‚ for a matrix

Experiment 1: Thermal Linear Expansion Abstract: The thermal linear expansion of copper and aluminum is the focus of this experiment where the two metals have a tendency to expand their length in response to the change of temperature. Each metals have their own coefficient of linear expansion which describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature while the pressure is held constant. We ’re able to determine the theoretical coefficient of linear expansion of the two metals by substituting

Page 1 of 4 Expansion Devices I. Introduction Expansion devices are basic components of a refrigeration system which carry out two major purposes: (1) the pressure reduction from the condenser to evaporator pressure and (2) the regulation of refrigerant flow into the evaporator. These expansion devices can be generally classified into two types which are namely the fixed opening type (flow area is fixed) and the variable opening type (flow area changes correspondingly with a change in mass
