Be Required for College Students?

In view of the poor results obtained in many freshman composition classes, the inevitable question arises as to the usefulness of such courses. College students see these courses as irrelevant to their immediate ends of gaining a college degree in the least possible time. They yearn to jump into their major courses which they perceive as more relevant to that coveted degree which will be a ticket to a high-paying job. Composition college instructors see with disappointment the continual decrease in quality writing from their students. Not only today’s college students seem unable ...

Corals are mostly found near or at the shore of lakes and other large water bodies. This means that coral gives a cross section of the soil stratification layers which can be assumed to have been each as top layer at a certain period in history (Bruckner, 8). Closely examining the coral, the different layers usually have different compositions. These compositions are the ones that help in depicting the climatic conditions that existed at the time of the layer being top layer of the soil (Paul, 3). If one layer of the coral can be closely examined and compared ...

It often happens that two people with the same height and weight may look differently. The reason of this lays in the different body composition. It is one of the most important signs of physical development and health state of the human being. Body composition depends on gender, height, food and heredity. It can be assessed in terms of mass composition and atomic composition. If we review the two-component model based on mass composition, body is subdivided into fat and lean, sometimes called fat-free, components. When you here the term fat mass, it doesn’t always foresee excessive weight ...

The musical drama Tristan und Isolde is Richard Wagner’s testament to his power to impart musical dominance.

In essence, it is not always the practice that, the word introduction is written down. A composition should be structured in paragraphs. Each paragraph should represent a clear idea which should always be in link with the preceding and succeeding paragraphs. In order ...

Scholars and acolytes of Gertrude Stein prefer to refer to her as "The Mother of Us All" as the attribution of her last dramaturgical opera inspired by the figure of the American feminist Susan B. Anthony. This definition would suggest a bond of deferential respect and intimate cultural affiliation by certain groups of writers and critics positioned on the edge of the traditional culture. All these scholars were gathered around Gertrude Stein as around a true pioneer of feminism and gender studies. The linguistic revolution that took place in hers works was astonishing and impressed all of them. She was a giant, a ...

Rendered in 1913, Ludwig Meidner's art reflects the angst in Germany that was so prevalent before World War I. This angst is represented as penciled chaos on paper (with a turpentine wash) in Industrial Landscape, suggesting a chaotic, turbulent time in early-20th century Germany. I selected this work because of my admiration of the Italian Futurists, who influenced Meidner's art. Modern art, such as Industrial Landscape, always takes place within a sociopolitical context, regardless of its genre. Ludwig Meidner was a pioneering figure during the second wave of Expressionism. He was also a poet who, after service during World War I, urged fellow ...

Abstract

The positive effect of high intensity cardio exercise on body fat is well known. The paper looks into the greater impact on body composition due to those high-intensity exercises. Regular cardio is known to increase both aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Until recently, it was thought that low intensity exercises like walking or slow jogging burn more fat and high intensity workouts like running or high intensity aerobics are meant more for cardiovascular fitness and not for burning fat. However, now the evidence from scientific studies and controlled trials is showing that high intensity cardio may actually burn faster and ...

1. Introduction to the Technique Magnification and high resolution imaging are very important in materials science, especially at present when nanotechnology materials are being created. Magnification and high resolution imaging can help in the characterization, identification, and confirmation of the existence of the desired material. Magnification and high resolution imaging become problems when the size of the assessed material becomes too small; such as, they are beyond the micrometer scale. Ordinary techniques in microscopy such as light microscopy where in a traditional light microscope is used could not suffice. Fortunately, in 1931, two scientists named Ernst Ruska and Mx ...

Latent Fingerprinting and its Reliability as Forensic Evidence

Introduction The discovery and subsequent improvement in forensic science has been a road marred with many challenges. However, despite these challenges, its acceptance as a rudimentary source of evidence in the judicial system is fascinating. Nonetheless, there are copious number of skeptics who argue that the science is based on probability; thus does not fit to be termed as an actual science. (1) Among the source of their skepticism is in evidence collection. In this work, there is an exploration of fingerprint collection on diverse surfaces.

Ways of Collecting Fingerprint Evidence from different Surfaces

Fingerprints can be identified from several surfaces, which include the porous, non-porous, and semi-porous ...

Skeletal muscles are complex and highly specialized group of cells that are not isomorphic but can be categorized in a heterogeneous group with different qualities. This heterogeneity of the skeletal muscles is important because ensures different sets of functions that skeletal muscles perform in the human body. This heterogeneity also enables a significant ability of the human organism to adapt to different conditions in life (Pette and Staron 2000). In addition of this heterogeneity, skeletal muscles also posses the ability of plasticity. This means that muscle cells can evolve and adapt to different stimuli and change their characteristics (Tavi and Westerblad ...

When analyzing visual art there are many different ways to interpret a painting, sculpture, or work of architecture. Often we think that art should convey factual knowledge about when a piece of art was made and the context it was created. We may also think that the role of art is to discover meaning within a visual image and explore how we respond emotionally to them. Form and content should contain a message. However, there is no true definition of art. Yet the most recognized one is, “Visual art is human expression in a visual form.” (South). When interpreting what a visual work of ...

Seismic Surveying: The Cost-Benefits of Carrying out 3D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Delineation and 4D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Management

Introduction

Many oil and gas companies regardless of their size, whether small or large, have heavily put reliance on 3-D seismic data to effectively and accurately delineate fields and thus discover new reserves. A 3-D survey has turned out to be more effective than a 2-D survey in exploration project. In a 3-D survey, one is able to study the structures and composition of the various layers underneath and therefore, being able to put on the correct gadgets to work. ...

In modern times, we are creatures of specialization. Artists are no longer scientists; sculptors no longer theorize about nature. However, in the Renaissance, great minds could generalize, and none did so with more flair than Leonardo da Vinci, who designed and made sculptures; planned buildings; conceptualized a flying machine; speculated on human nature and anatomy; and made maps of the known world. The term “Renaissance man” has long meant a person of many interests, and none followed a broader spectrum.

Born in Anchiano, near Vinci, in the republic of Florence, on April 15, 1452, da Vinci was the illegitimate issue of Piero ...

Until today, over 2000 minerals have been discovered, and constantly on a daily basis, new minerals are discovered. Minerals just like matter is made up of atoms of elements arranged in a particular way together with a definite chemical composition. Notably, minerals are aggregates of nearly all rocks found on the earth’s crust. Geologists define minerals as inorganic materials on and in the earth’s crust with a specific chemical composition. Most minerals are always naturally occurring and it is worth noting that nearly all the minerals contain crystals. This is attributed to the fact that mineral particles are usually arranged in a ...

LITERATURE REVIEW

Although the concept of corporate governance has been in practice for several decades, it gained worldwide popularity and significance since the collapse of a number of corporate giants and bank chains in the United States in the early 2000s. The idea of corporate governance is the major factor that links stakeholder interests with the objectives of the organization. As Solms and Solms point out, corporate governance could be defined as “the set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions affecting the way a corporation (or company) is directed, administered or controlled” (Solms & Solms, 2008, p.2). In the current business context, shareholders, ...

However, despite this, there are plenty of ...

Peace that people enjoy nowadays uninterrupted is, of course, not a new phenomenon. However, what is interesting is that the humanity has lived only several hundred years without warring for whatever reason could bring large armies face-to-face in a lethal confrontation for questionable reasons. Besides soldiers, the brute force of conflicts, the main tools of war have always been weapons indicating the state of technological advancement of nations, being the litmus paper and the benchmarks of progress. Thousands years ago, there was no such concept as a long-lasting peace, and the weaponry was a lot more different than it currently is, being used ...

The live music piece I attended took place in a music hall. It was brightly lit, and of ample size, with a stage that allotted for more than what was necessary for the small amount of players, ranging from brass to woodwind instruments. The audience was quiet and respectful, though it appeared that they shared the same responses as I did, ranging from contemplative to irritated, throughout the piece. The audience, as well as myself, were dressed in casually formal attire, as if we were attending a school recital or a semi-fancy restaurant. They did not seem generally enthused by the piece of ...

The study entitled “Intestinal permeability, gut-bacterial dysbiosis, and behavioral markers of alcohol-dependence severity” by Leclercq et al., (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 111.42 (2014): E4485-E4493) explores the possibilities of links between alterations in gut permeability, composition of gut-microbiota, as well as the activity of the gut metabolites and the increased depression, anxiety, and alcohol craving in alcohol-dependent subjects. Thus, the study aims to establish an association between gut dysfunction and the psychological symptoms resulting from alcohol dependence. In addition, reversibility of behavioral as well as biological parameters, after a short term alcohol detoxification was determined. There is a ...

There are about three theories that show how the Moon was formed. These theories try to explain as to how the Moon came about using the composition of the Moon as the basis for the study. Scientists have conducted experiments at the moon’s surface as well as they have given attention to the inner rocks that are found below the surface to see if at all they match the composition of the rocks here on earth. In the first theory, scientists believe that in one theory, the moon was captured by the Earth. In this theory, they ...

Depth of the Earth is mysterious and far less accessible world than the space surrounding our planet. There is no device yet that could penetrate the depths of the planet. The deepest mine in the world has a depth of 4 km whilst the deepest borehole in the Kola Peninsula - 12 km. It's only 1/500 part of the radius of the Earth! However, people have learned to "drop in" to the depths of the Earth. The main method of studying them is seismic (from the Greek. "Seysmos" - an earthquake). From earthquakes or artificial explosions in the bowels of ...

Government essentially operates in three main branches. These are the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. According to the principle of separation of powers, each of the three branches should be autonomous and independent. An expansive interpretation of the separation of powers doctrine equally suggests that the three branches are independent and equal in status with entirely different roles. However, from the political structure of most governments, it comes out that the legislature is the most powerful branch of government and by that vein, the branches of the government are not autonomous and equal in formation and power. The ...

Causal Design

The research on offenders and empathy will employ the research design of causal design. This is because the research is an explanatory research with a focus on the why question. For instance, it is quite often to link lack of empathy with crime or in that case with offenders. Thus, say to examine the trends of crimes in relation to empathy among the offenders as well among the non-offenders. It is then quite usual to develop an explanation why crime rate increase among inhuman or empathy-less individuals, why crime is less among empathetic individuals. Additionally, why are some crimes more ...

Rhetoric is defined as “the art or study of using language effectively and persuasively” (thefreedictionary). Throughout history, the relationship between rhetoric and music has often been a close one, especially in the Baroque period (rhetoric). The term ‘baroque’ was derived from the Portuguese barroco, meaning “oddly shaped pearl.” Since the nineteenth century, it has been much used to define the era in Western European music from around 1600 through to 1750 (Baroque). The comparison of history’s greatest musical masterpieces to a misshapen pearl seems unwarranted today. However, the critics of the nineteenth century who coined the phrase felt that ...
