Rosemary who was attending Yale university and was very proud of it, had failed three out of four of the classes that she was taking.

There are some differences between two famous universities in Vancouver, the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Simon Fraser University (SFU). First of all, in terms of campus, the SFU campus is eseentially a great big concrete building. SFU is 1200 feet above sea level Burnaby Mountain. As a result, the view from SFU is spectacular on clear days, but SFU can be very gloomy on rainy days. In contrast, UBC is a much larger campus. It is located on probably one of the best pieces of land in Canada. You can witness spectacular sunsets, have a view of the mountains, and have the feeling of a large prosperous university campus.

Summary of Polymer MechanochemistrySometimes, curiosity gets the best of you, it did with Aj Boydston, an assistant professor at the University of Washington. Mr. Boydston and his students at the university conducted experiments, used models and imagined what would happen to the behavior of polymers when polymers undergo mechanical stress. This is a field of chemistry called polymer mechanochemistry. Creating models of star polymers on a 2-D plain, it was understood that using mechanical force on the bonds, it breaks the polymer chain, generating a spontaneous response. Other results as followed when changing the physical force are the change of color (stretching) and the effect of the

Probably the most well known mathematical tablet, it was written in the Old Babylonian period between 1900 and 1600 B.C.E. and shows the most advanced mathematics known before the development of the Greek mathematics. It was originally thought that Plimpton 322 was one of many tablets that recorded inventories of food and merchandise. However, in 1946 Otto Neugebauer and A. J.
