Pollution results to over 100,000 deaths. This is according to research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Research from the institute’s laboratory conducting studies in the environment and aviation bases its findings that most emissions emanate from road transportation. It also emerges that road transportation is the single cause of pollution, and also results to premature death. In Baltimore for instance, Maryland is the city with highest deaths due to pollution, with over 100,000 deaths linked to air pollution as a result of industrial smoke. Pollution from transport sources is high. This is because most ...

Introduction

A black hole is a region in space-time, the gravitational attraction which is so large that it can not leave even objects moving at the speed of light, including photons of light itself. The boundary of this region is called the event horizon, and its characteristic dimension - the gravitational radius. In the simplest case of a spherically symmetric black hole Schwarzschild radius is equal to it.
Theoretically, the possible existence of such regions of space-time should be of some exact solutions of Einstein's equations, the first of which was obtained by Karl Schwarzschild in 1915. The exact inventor ...

Greenhouse gas effect refers to the process through which thermal radiation from the surface of the earth is absorbed and retained by the atmospheres’ greenhouse gases. The retained thermal radiation is then re-radiated in a distributive manner towards all directions. Some of the re-radiation are directed towards the lower layers of the atmosphere and the surface of the earth and consequently causes a higher temperature than the normallly expected temperature without the greenhouse gases.
The greenhouse effect occurs due to the following mechanism. The surface of the earth receives solar energy in the form of ultra violet (UV), near ...

Radiations such as  - rays, UV rays, etc. have ionizing effects on tissues and have the ability kill cells and inactivate viruses. A detailed analysis of the survival of such cells and viruses are imperative in many fields, including radiation oncology, public health and environmental photobiology. However, the mathematical and statistical tools based on target theory in radiobiology are mentioned in literature (Alpen, 1988, Smith, 1989, Hall, 2000) and are wide in use in the analysis of experimental data involving biophysical mechanisms of the repair of radiation damage. This work demonstrates the use of probabilistic approaches in descriptions ...

Introduction

United States Nuclear sector is one of the publicly administrated areas that provides wide employment opportunities and employs various recruitment structure and philosophies that can be attributed to general trends in global business world. That said, it is interesting to observe that the sector works with direct employment, community colleges and international programs that brings this sector in line with international Strategic Human Resource Management (HRM) tendencies and trends. This clash, as one could argue, of public organization and bureaucracy with modern trends receives special attention when it comes to the analysis of US Nuclear sector as a place ...

Some of the aftermath issues including financial, social and infrastructure damage for many of the countries that were ...

Discussing the Use of Idioms in the English Language

INTRODUCTION
When we hear phrases like, “it is raining cats and dogs,” “a knight in shining armor,” and “once in a blue moon.” These phrases, or idioms, are not necessarily “self explanatory” and yet we seem to know what they mean, or at least we think we do (Oxford Royale Academy 2014). In order, respectively, they are saying that it is raining heavily, someone came to my rescue, and the last are things that happen very rarely. However, the understanding of these phrases is not innate. You may understand them, I may understand them but to someone who is ...

United Kingdom adopted the market for energy approach in 1982 under the stewardship of Mr. Nigel Lawson the then secretary of state in charge of energy. From that time, the power was to be a traded product, just like other commodities and it supply was to be settled in the marketplace. The adoption of that idea was slow and by the early 1990s, most of the energy parastatals had been privatised. Electricity, coal, gas and the nuclear power were all privatised. The old mechanisms and commands like Central Electricity Generating Board were replaced by many companies for generating and ...

Causes of the Cold War (1947-1953)

Unlike the other forms of warfare, a cold war finds its basis in the acts of sabotaging societal set ups of a country’s enemy. There is no clear definition of the Cold War but in “The Cold War: Conflicts in Europe and Asia” Philips (2001) states that the, “The Cold War is the term given to the period of poor relations between East and west” (p.159).With regard to this, the Cold War found basis in the emerging enmity between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Consequently, the effects of the cold war ...

The twentieth century saw number of significant developments and inventions that changed the overall outlook of the world. Out of all these inventions and explorations, atomic bomb was one that had greater impact on the world. The impact of nuclear bomb was strategic, political, economic, social and moral.
The first of these events and so far the only instance when the nuclear bomb was experimented took place in the middle of Second World War over Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Langley, 88). It occurred when the atrocities and offensives of Japanese troops and fighters grew beyond the bearable threshold and United ...

The Arab Spring which began in Tunisia snowballed and among the countries that were affected is Syria. However, the events in Syria hardly followed the same course as the events in other countries affected by the Arab Spring. This was because, in most of these countries, the clamor for regime change by the citizens resulted in the removal from power of their then leaders. This was the case in Egypt with the ouster of the then President Hosni Mubarak and in Libya with the ouster of the then President Muammar Gaddafi after an approximately six months civil war in ...

Terrorism is a scourge of the modern world. It is a highly organized and systematic form of crime, directed towards clear cut goal of harming a particular set of people, community, or country. Terrorists act at international levels and their activities are aimed to harm many at a time. Terrorist activities are aimed at spreading terror, extortion and ransom, mass murder etc. Many times, these activities are born off a twisted mind that harbors wrongly placed ideas of righteousness. Some terrorists call themselves revolutionary, claiming to liberate their social, cultural or ethical ideas. They are highly convinced that their ...

In James Morrow’s novella Shambling Towards Hiroshima, a man is hired by the US government to put on a rubber monster suit and put on a demonstration in which he destroys a small city, in order to completely end World War II. As his main character says of his intentions for the beast, “I hope to make this magnificent lizard as famous a symbol for the abolition of nuclear weapons as Smokey the Bear has become for the prevention of forest fires” (Morrow 162). This scenario is an obvious homage to the Godzilla films from Japan’s Toho ...

Fighting among men is associated with masculinity. Most of them fight to inflict pain and humiliate their opponents and gain control and power over them, thus enhancing their concept of masculinity. Their opponents receive the painful beating and humiliation as they get beat down harboring feelings of emasculation and humiliation: scars that haunt them for life. This paper will focus on a unique fight club within the San Francisco Bay Area that has different goals as compared to humiliating win-and-lose fights.
The Gentlemen’s Fight Club for me is a beneficial part of the San Francisco Bay Area providing ...

The United States has experienced the wrath of terrorism in several instances. Some of the attacks appear in the American lands or soils while others target barracks or embassies containing soldiers from US (McCann, 2006). When the systematic studies behind terrorism started in 1970’s, some researchers believed that terrorism, in the US, was more or less a cartel of left-wing groups, such as, German Red Army Italian Red Brigade, and Latin American groups. What remained clear to most philosophers and theologians, however, was that terrorism was an act of violation against human justice and the law of God ( ...

Introduction

Practical or applied ethics relate to the use of normative ethical theories to practical problems. Moral philosophers have for a long time focused their interests on the practical queries relating to relief programs, war interventions, scholarships for the destitute students, media ethics, welfare of animals, capital punishment and so on. Actions and intentions have been a central theme in ethics. The question that arises is whether the acts are altruistic and whether such actions and programs are obligatory or simply the quest of a discretionary ethical awareness. These queries have for many years generated debate among philosophers in the ...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation indicates that there is no universally accepted definition of terrorism. The U.S federal code, however, defines terrorism as ‘the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objective’. The U. S is considered unique among many countries in the world due to its ability in containing multitudes in relative to harmony.
A substantial number of terrorism cases in the American history can be said to be motivated by an intense distrust on the ...

Iraq is a nation that is dreaded globally, by other countries. The United States of America always enters into conflict with many world nations, especially in the name of promoting peace and fighting for people’s rights. This has led to the deaths of many soldiers, both its citizens and other innocent civilians. Their struggle has been in vain as it has not yielded victory over terrorists. This has propelled criticisms from various world bodies as the U.S.’s aim has never been met. The loss of lives of these soldiers at the war front and others keeps affecting ...
