This book focusses on computer methodologies as a way of investigating language and character in literary texts. Both theoretical and practical, it surveys investigations into characterization in literary linguistics and personality in social psychology, before carrying out a computational analysis of Virginia Woolf’s experimental novel The Waves.
Are we rising again? No. On the contrary. Are we descending? Worse than that, captain! we are falling! For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast! There! the last sack is empty! Does the balloon rise? No! I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us! Overboard with every weight! . . . everything!
Our planet exists within a space environment affected by constantly changing solar atmosphere producing cosmic particles and electromagnetic waves. This "space weather" profoundly influences the performance of our technology because we primarily use two means for transmitting information and energy namely, electromagnetic waves and electricity.
Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Waves
There are many kinds of waves -- sound waves, light waves, heat waves -- and the Science Guy wants to explain all about their characteristics. He talks about amplitude, wavelength, and frequency in such a way that the average fourth or fifth grader would have no difficulty understanding the concepts. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Waves, Bill Nye offers the kids a chance to climb into the cockpit with jet pilot Garry Dean as he breaks the sound barrier.
