    The Daphnia magna species in this experiment were kept and preserved in jars of suitable water that acted as small ponds. Each Daphnia Magna was transported individually using a wide-mouthed pipette to a depression slide. The stability of the Daphnia Magna on the slide was attained by using a drop of pond water that acted as a boundary of movement for the Daphnia on the depression slide, small pieces of cotton wool were also used to act as an extra boundary to stop the Daphnia Magna from swimming in circles in the pond drop it was placed in; the stability factor was important in counting the heart beat rate more accurately. The depression slide was then placed under the stereomicroscope, over a cooling chamber that was used to slow down the

  • The Mirror Of Simple Souls By Marguerite Porete

    1677 Words  | 4 Pages

    Marguerite Porete’s Mirouer des simples ames, also known as “The Mirror of Simple Souls”, dating from the 1290s, is a remarkable text by any standards. It is the oldest known mystical text written in French and the only surviving text written by a woman convicted of heresy. Marguerite’s work is a complex piece of literature given that it was written in an era in which many people were not educated. Her use of literary discourse illustrates the sophistication with which she presents her information and ideas, aiding in her persuasive rhetoric. Moreover, her book does more than challenge the ideals and beliefs of the Catholic Orthodoxy which was a feat in and of itself, it is also subliminally challenging the balance of power between men and women. Furthermore, her works are widely considered to be an early example of a feminine approach to theology.

    734 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most scientific name for this little water flea is called the Daphnia, a very small planktonic crustacean that measures up to five millimeters long. Daphnia are part of the Cladocera family, which are small crustaceans of all sorts commonly called water fleas. The Daphnia are called water fleas because the movements they make are very similar to the way fleas move around. Daphnias “inhabit most types of standing fresh water except for extreme habitats, such as hot springs.” Many of these creatures live as filter feeders but some can be found clinging onto water plants or skimming the very bottom of the shallow pond.

  • The Roman De La Rose Analysis

    531 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the Roman de la Rose, Franchise and Pitiè are sent by god (dieus) as soon as Amant is in need of additional help for persuading Dangiers and then Bel Accueil to let him approach the Rose. Through their eloquent words and by appealing to Dangiers’ noble feelings and mercy – both qualities that these two characters embody – the two women manage to appease the latter and then to persuade Bel Accueil to reacquaint himself with Amant. Venus, in the Rose, comes to the dreamer’s aid mediating between Amant, Bel Accueil and the Rose. Through her fiery intervention, Bel Accueil yields to Amant’s wish to kiss the Rose. Finally, in the Hypnerotomachia, the High Priestesses of Venus serve as mediators between the couple and the gods of love, being their divine representatives. There are two High Priestesses: one in Book I who presides the ritual at the temple of Venus Physizoa and one in Book II, who is associated with the temple of Venus in the quasi-historical Treviso. The latter’s acceptance of Polia’s repentance and her blessing of the couples’ union is equivalent to the approval and goodwill of the gods that she represents, Venus and Cupid. It must also be noted that the High Priestess of Diana as a representative of a higher divine power is also a mediator, but her adversity to the couples’ union marks her as a negative agent and, as such, she belongs in the category of obstructors.
