The American civil war in the West: Grant’s River War

Introduction
The American Civil War is among the majorly discussed wars in the history of the United States. Ideally, Civil War is considered a central event in the U.S historical civilisation. While it is evident that the revolution that occurred in 1776-1783 facilitated the establishment of the United States, the American Civil War of 1861-1865 provided a suitable platform for the determination of the future of the United States (Doyle, 2014). Fundamentally, it offered the solutions to two major questions initially created by the revolution, and these included whether the United States was going to be transformed into a ...

I. The foraging behavior of fruit flies is important to observe for a number of reasons. One of the reasons foraging behavior of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is studied is to determine whether fruit flies are capable of learning, as well as the behavioral significance of a behavior, in terms of adaptation (Prokopy & Roitber 1984). Moreover, the foraging behavior of fruit flies reveals the behavior of so-called Rover flies versus Sitter flies. A rover fly expends more energy seeking food, whereas sitters expend less energy, but is more efficient, given low population ...

Introduction

The early 1900s were a period of significant change – aircraft, cars, transatlantic ocean liners – all these were coming into mainstream use, and owe their emergence to this period of technical advancement. Another lesser-remembered innovation of the time that captured the imagination of the people was the automat. The first example of automated fast food at a low price, the system consisted of a number of windows in which food was displayed. You put in a coin (initially a nickel or 5 cents later revised to a dime or 10 cents) and the window could be opened and the food taken. There were no waiters ...

IMPLICIT ASSOCIATION TEST FOR RACE

Abstract
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures human attitudes. Implicit attitudes are considered those judgments or actions of people that are automatic and the person has no idea what causes that judgment or action. The automatic action is a result of influences from societal beliefs. IAT is different from qualitative psychological tests for measuring attitudes because the measurement is of the cognitive processes of memory that cause a person to show a particular attitude automatically. IAT-Race was used to study racial stereotypes in an experiment to determine if the “Obama Effect” was observed. The participants were prompted to go to a web ...

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is posed with the ...

Introduction

One of the most significant topics of the Middle East history that is considered to be Arab cultural awakening is undoubtedly Arab nationalism. On the one hand, it gathered strength and coherence during and after the First World War. On the other hand, little light is actually shed on that recent phenomenon. A lot of scholars may even get into a mess in defining Arabs, as well as determining what is meant by Arab nationalism. However, taking into consideration the fact that the twenty-first century is characterized by a considerable political activeness, much attention should be paid to Arabs ...

Introduction

It is a cliché to say that the relationship between China and the world has become complex, multidimensional and interdependent. But that does not mean that we fully understand the complexity of the Chinese attitude towards globalization nor its interdependence with the world in general and the Western industrial democracies in particular, with the implications thereof. The thesis that we develop in this article argues that economic interdependence greatly strengthens Chinese authoritarianism in its ability to politically influence the attitude of States and civil liberties in Western democracies, rather than the reverse. It contradicts the usual thesis that Western ...

Abstract

The seawater forms 97% of water of the world, and the icecaps account for 2%. The portion of water available for human consumption is barely 0.5% and that also in aquifers. The widening gap between availability and requirement of potable water especially in the Gulf countries has necessitated newer methods and technologies for production of water suitable for human consumption. This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi ...

According to Warrick (1993), global warming is the main contributor to the rise in global sea level since the Industrial Revolution. Human activities such as burning coal and oil and cutting down tropical forests increase atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping gases. The three main factors leading to the rise in sea levels include: thermal expansion, ice loss from Greenland and West Antarctica and melting of glaciers and polar ice caps.
Land ice, that is, glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets, stores nearly two-thirds of the world’s freshwater and is shrinking in response to higher temperatures. Glaciers partially melt ...
