Introduction

The human cardiovascular system includes the heart and the blood vessels. The heart is a hollow, four chambered organ. Internally, it is divided into the upper and the lower chamber called the atrium and the ventricle respectively. The blood vessels include arteries, arterioles, capillaries and veins. The arteries carry the blood away from the heart. Arterioles regulate the blood flow to a particular region of the body. Capillaries allow the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients from the blood to the tissues. Veins function in supplying blood from the periphery back to the heart. When blood exerts a hydrostatic pressure against the walls ...

Introduction

Pilots and their passengers experience physiological challenges when they are subjected to environment and the stresses of the flight. Thus, these physiological challenges are the ones that lead to the occurrence of aircraft accidents. It is interesting to note that human physiology is actually evolutionarily modified to be efficient up to roughly 12,000 feet above the sea level. In real sense, this is essentially the limit of physiological efficiency zone. For that reason, outside this zone, the physiological compensatory mechanisms might fail to cope with stresses of altitude. The objective of this paper is to scrutinize an aircraft ...

After ordering a blood test for cholesterol, a physician prescribes the patient expensive cholesterol medications known as statins to prevent diseases of the cardiovascular system. Statins, however, like all medications, have side effects.
Statins are chemicals that reduce the production of enzymes, which are necessary for the synthesis of cholesterol. Usually the instructions that accompany these cholesterol-reducing drugs state 1. Statins lower cholesterol concentration in the plasma due to “inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase” and “reduce cholesterol synthesis in the liver” (Pichandi et al., 2011, p.51). 2. They reduce the concentration of cholesterol in patients with homozygous “familial hypercholesterolemia” (Pichandi et ...

Abstract

This essay will outline the nature of the death penalty in terms of its birth and its ideals and how this translates in terms of the democratic process. Such philosophers and social reformers as T.H Green, Beccaria, Hobbes and Jeremy Bentham to discuss the benefits and negative factors of the death penalty in terms of its effectiveness as a deterrent and assess whether or not it’s value as a deterrent outweighs these negative factors. This process will inevitably lead me to the conclusion in which I hope to establish the fairness or notion of equivalency of the death penalty.

Its contribution is significant in linking cognitive changes with the aggregate neural and visceral changes in the body with the resulting emergence of the psychophysiological development approach in the study of psychology. However, the theory is also criticized owing to its lack of scientific approach to its theory development involving the issues on using small samples for its tests and the absence of using statistical figure analysis in ...

When the Past and Present Collide - Can One Speak of World Civilizing?

Looking back into millennia of human history, historians and academics in general are keen to view the process of human development as evolution and progression. In this context, academics are likely to argue that the world is moving towards civilizing and subsequent improvement of inter-human relations. This statement has its reasons for existence, and, in fact, the experience of the last century has proved that total war would simply mean annihilation of human being from the face of the Earth. On the other hand, interpersonal conflicts remained an every-day reality of contemporary societies. Another argument against pacification of human ...

In Search of Henrietta

There are certain events in human life that might change the course of one’s life. There are also some human lives that might change the course of history and evolution of human civilization in general. Speaking of such people, some might imagine famous warlords, rulers of Ancient kingdoms; other would think about inventors, scientists and geniuses who were shaping their epochs and forthcoming generations; some might think of political leaders who lead their countries to prosperity and victory in global wars. In most cases, no one would have thought of an ordinary Afro-American woman in her thirties, who ...

Introduction
Throughout World War II, the Nazis carried out some of the most unthinkable and horrific experiments upon human beings, often citing science as a valid reason for their actions. As accounts of these experiments began to leak out prior to and throughout the Nuremberg Trials, they had a profound effect upon people’s comprehension of man’s insatiable curiosity and his inclination towards evil. Since there is hardly any precedent or ensuing studies conducted to support the results from these experiments, it has long been conjectured as to whether their findings should be admissible in modern publications or applications. ...

Bram Stoker’s most renowned epistolary novel Dracula deals with numerous themes portrayed through the utilization of various symbols. One of the most potent ones would definitely be the ubiquitous struggle between the forces of good and evil, or in other words, between the angelic messengers of God and their nemesis, a demon from Hell. The strength and power of Christian paraphernalia serve as symbols of earthly as well as divine good, such as crucifixes and prayers, while the soulless entity of the Count and his undead brides symbolize the curse of longevity at the cost of one’s soul. ...

INTRODUCTION

The Spanish painter Salvador Dali was one of the most idiosyncratic and interesting figures of the 20th century, not just for his painting, but for his overall personality and behavior. He was often called eccentric and flamboyant, almost to the detriment of his work. However, despite his odd nature, it cannot be denied that his surrealist paintings carry significant meaning and purpose, as well as incredible aesthetics behind them.

This is no less true in his 1954 painting Crucifixion Corpus Hypercubus, which depicts a rather unique version of Christ on the Cross, combining complex quantum mathematics with a deeply spiritual event. ...

Africa has traditionally been a continent of mixed fortunes, where real-life stories of hope and despair abound. African traditions, values and customs have been slowly influenced by colonization and eventual globalization that has turned the world into a global village. The novel, Things fall apart, is a reflection of the extent to which Africans were tied to their beliefs and customs, as a violation of those customs was regarded as being disrespectful to the gods. Resistance to the new values and beliefs as brought by the missionaries are resisted since the communities regard them as inclined on disrupting the ...
