NATURALISM AS REFLECTED IN STEPHEN CRANE ‘S SHORT STORY THE OPEN BOAT

Abstract This research is a kind of library research. The main data is taken from Stephen Crane’s short story The Open Boat. The purpose of the research is to find out how the naturalism aspects are reflected in Stephen Crane’s short story The Open Boat. To come to that purpose, the researcher applies the structuralism Theory to analyze the problem. Besides, the researcher also applies the naturalism aspects based on Vernon Louis Parrington’s idea. Through the analysis, it is found that there are some naturalism aspects in the element of the short story of The Open Boat. The naturalism aspects that can be found in Stephen Crane’s short story of The Open Boat are; frankness, objectivity, philosophy of determinism and bias in selection character

Power law observed in the motion of an asymmetric camphor boat under viscous conditions

We investigated the velocity of an asymmetric camphor boat moving on aqueous solutions with glycerol. The viscosity was controlled by using several concentrations of glycerol into the solution. The velocity decreased with an increase in the glycerol concentration. We proposed a phenomenological model, and showed that the velocity decreased with an increase in the viscosity according to power law. Our experimental result agreed with the one obtained from our model. The results provided an approximation that the characteristic decay length of the camphor concentration profile at the front of the boat was sufficiently shorter than that at the rear of the boat, which was difficult to measure directly

Ceramic-coated boat is chemically inert, provides good heat transfer

Refractory metal foil sprayed with ceramic coating serves as evaporating boat for inorganic materials. The high thermal conductivity of this boat makes it useful with ohmic heaters

4 Wynnes Boating Manufacturing Company: A Market Analysis and Business Plan for Northwest Arkansas

This thesis focuses on a business plan for the opening and developing of a boat manufacturing company in Northwest Arkansas and, specifically, manufacturing of duck hunting boats. South Arkansas and Eastern Arkansas have boat-manufacturing companies, but none exist in Northwest Arkansas. Having developed an interest in duck hunting over the years, I have discovered a tremendous need to bring the boats to where a large portion of Arkansas population exists. The objective of this business is to identify the Northwest Arkansas market viability for a customized duck boat manufacturing company. This analysis and evaluation is meant to provide a business prospectus for a successful and long-term company

Southern California independent sport fishing survey Quarterly Report for April-June, 1976

A 1-yr. study was undertaken to devise a sampling program which would determine fishing catch and effort levels of one segment of the southern California marine sport fishery. Personal interviews of fishermen were conducted at launch ramps, boat hoists, and boat rental locations from Santa Barbara County to the Mexican border. This report presents quantitative data and statistical estimates of effort, total catch, catch of preferred sport fish species, and length frequencies of selected species landed by private-boat sport fishermen. An estimated 102,000 anglers and 3,700 divers landed 275,000 fishes, molluscs, and crustaceans. The major components of the catch were 1) white croaker, Genyonemus lineatus, 85,000 landed; 2) bass, Paralabrax spp., 48,000 landed; and 3) Pacific bonito, Sarda chiliensis, 42,000 landed. (22pp.

Black bream in the Blackwood: 2005-06 recreational fishing creel survey

The status of the recreational fishery in the Blackwood Estuary, south-western Australia, was quantitatively assessed via a boat-based creel survey from September 2005 to August 2006. Sampling was stratified by both season and day-type and, in total, was conducted on 144 days over the 12-month period. Daily sampling consisted of a count of number of anglers throughout the estuary (for fishing effort), and surveys of catches by boat-based and shore-based recreational anglers

U.S. Coast Guard Boat Recovery Simulation at NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator

The Boat Recovery Simulation was a collaboration between the U.S. Coast Guard and NASA. The experiment was conducted at the NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator (VMS). The goals were to (1) design a VMS experiment that can accurately simulate the motion of high sea conditions and to (2) collect data for the U.S. Coast Guard on human performance related to small boat recovery operations. The experiment setup included a software operation model designed around empirical boat position data; a replica boat section manufactured to incorporate real-world task elements; and the means to collect objective and subjective data from human participants. The VMS provided a viable testbed to assess certified U.S. Coast Guard crewmembers task performance while in motion

Dead Waters: Large amplitude interfacial waves generated by a boat in a stratified fluid

We present fluid dynamics videos of the motion of a boat on a two-layer or three-layer fluid. Under certain specific conditions, this setup generates large amplitude interfacial waves, while no surface waves are visible. The boat is slowed down leading to a peristaltic effect and sometimes even stopped: this is the so-called dead water phenomenon
