Introduction

Japan’s gun control laws simply state, “No one shall possess a firearm or firearms or a sword or swords” (Library of Congress). Having such strong laws that restrict Japanese civilians to own guns or swords which have been an important part of Japanese tradition is quite strict. The choice has been made considering the history of Japan, which rejected the use of guns and limited it to the noble families only. Also, in the Japanese history there is no particular cultural foundation for using guns. The current policy helps Japan them to limit the number of crimes related ...

Introduction

A supply chain is the systematic organization of an organization’s resources, including the labour, information and efforts geared towards achieving smooth and effective distribution of products and or services from the point of supply to the intended customers. As the name suggests, supply chain is a series of connected activities, which must not be broken at any point without affecting the ultimate goal of making the product or service reach the consumer (Anning, Okyere & Annan, 2013). It therefore requires a well framed and structured design for easy management and eventual gain of profits and avoidance of unnecessary losses. ...

Question 1: does distributed file systems eliminate need for backup

Distributed file systems are implemented over several computer servers that are located in different places enabling sharing of data across the various computer networks. The file system allows implementation of replication and access transparencies. However, the distribution process does not eliminate the need for data backup. Data backup is necessary because in distributed file systems data being shared may exist only in one computer and if lost, all other computers will not be able to access the same data (Girone, 2015). Distributed file system share data when needed by another computer, however, this does not provide for data redundancy. ...

Neuro-functional pathways and Connection with Diseases

Types of Memory
Traditionally, there are three types of memory defined: short-term memory (STM), long-term memory (LTM) and working memory (WM). Hebb defines the short-term as the mechanism of continuous reverberation of stimuli and information in cellar systems and as a result neurons excite one another for some time after the original stimulus (Nadel and Hardt, 2010, 253). In other words, STM is an ability to hold information about the stimuli for the brief period. If this reverberatory activity leads to restructuring of synaptic connections, the long-term memory appears. LTM is an ability of human brain to storage the ...
