The Casual Dress of the 1950s Woman and the Casual Dress of Today\u27s Woman
The casual dress of American women has changed dramatically from the 1950s to the present. In the 1950s, the style was undeniably feminine, with fitted waists and full skirts ending below the knee. The style of young women today has become significantly more casual and androgynous, with pants and leggings taking prevalence in casual wear. The style of dresses has also changed significantly, as has the standard of modesty. This work will discuss and evaluate the changes in casual dress from the 1950s to the present, including the influences on style in both time periods. The change from only wearing dresses to wearing mainly pants, the changes in dress designs, and the shift in the standard of modesty among young American women will be discussed
An Essay On Interactive Investigations Of The Zeeman Effect In The Interstellar Medium
The paper presents an interactive module created through the Wolfram
Demonstrations Project that visualizes the Zeeman effect for the small magnetic
field strengths present in the interstellar medium. The paper provides an
overview of spectral lines and a few examples of strong and weak Zeeman
splitting before discussing the module in depth. Student discovery is aided
with example situations to investigate using the interactive module, which is
targeted at the upper undergraduate or early graduate level. This module
(http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/TheZeemanEffectInTheInterstellarMedium),
which uses free software, can be used in classroom activities or as a means of
introducing students to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project as a learning
resource.Comment: 6 pages, published in JAES
