The battle for water between India and Pakistan is long and has a rich history. This situation dates back to 1960 when the two countries decided to share the water based on rivers in the Indus water treaty of 1960 (Aaron T. Wolf and Joshua T. Newton, in institute of the water and watershed). The eastern rivers, Beas, Sutlej, and Ravi were exclusively set aside for India. At the same time, the rivers in the western, the Indus, Chenab, and Jhelum where set aside for Pakistan. Times have changed since then, and the demand for water and water related Continue reading...

Self-regulation and Time Management

Most of the things in this world can be achieved when people take individual actions. Self-regulation is functioning without outside interference. This means embarking on something that you did not feel like doing or stopping to do something that you wanted to do. Self-regulated people require high will power (Garland, 2014).
Self- regulation involves many sacrifices as delaying gratification. For example, one can choose to study for exams to going out and having fun with friends. Choosing to sleep fewer hours to practice for a sports competition and putting money in a project rather than buying the latest clothes.

There exists about 300,000 plant species on earth, and every individual plant hosts one or more endophytes. However, it is just a few of these plants that have been researched relative to their endophytic biology. Hence, the chance for isolation of new, as well as, interesting endophytic bacteria in plants are important. Endophytic bacteria can be referred to as bacteria that can be isolated from tissues of a surface-disinfected plant or bacteria extracted from inside of a plant, which cause no visible negative effects to the plant. Almost every plant is populated by varied bacteria referred to as Continue reading...

Introduction:

Photoextraction uses plants to remove heavy metals and other contaminants from the soil. This can be a “two edged sword.” When animals consume them, can cause high concentration of contaminants on higher levels on up the food chain. Fortunately, they also present the potential for use as biomass in alternative fuel production. . Some species of plants are more effective as Photoextractants than others are. Other plant species are more effective when used as biomass. Ideally, plants used for Photoextraction should be capable of absorbing a spectrum of contaminants, and provide cost effective biomass. Testing is needed to determine if Continue reading...

The Second Amendment, commonly referred to as the right to bear arms, is the constitutional provision that guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms. Even though in the text it talks of militias and people, the Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller interpreted it to also include the right of an individual to bear arms. The philosophy underpinning its inclusion by the founding fathers was the inalienable right of self defense and the duty of the citizen to act in defense of the state, whether in resisting oppression or external aggression (Johnson, Continue reading...

Rome’s first overseas war was against Carthage. There were subsequent wars between these two and that made a total of three wars which are famously known as the Punic Wars. The main cause of the Punic Wars was mainly the conflict of interest between Rome and Carthage. They were interested in Sicily, which at the time was a cultural melting pot. Both Rome and Carthage considered Sicily as an extension of their territories (Hoyos 2011). Each wanted to win it and have full control over it and hence, the first Punic war.
One thing that stood out as Continue reading...

Abstract

A polymerase chain reaction also known as PCR refers to a technique that is used in the amplification of a DNA fragment making huge numbers of the original fragment. The process uses an enzyme known as DNA polymerase to multiply the DNA fragment. Other components that are necessary for a PCR reaction are the DNA template that is provided by the sample being multiplied, the primers, and nucleotides. The experiment aimed to examine a number of human DNA polymorphisms, the PV92 Alu polymorphism and the mitochondrial control region using human DNA. This was achieved by isolating the mitochondrial DNA Continue reading...

Gun Control

Introduction
Gun control is a hot button issue in America and has been so for a substantial period of time. Proponents of gun ownership argue that the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution gives citizens the right to bear arms for the purposes of protecting themselves and their families. Therefore, all regulations regarding gun control must pass Constitutional muster. Opponents of gun ownership argue that guns are used to commit violent acts against others; therefore, the ownership of handguns and other firearms typically used to commit violent acts should be unlawful or heavily regulated in America. They believe Continue reading...

Do Strict Gun Control Laws Reduce the Number of Homicides in U.S.?
People fight for stricter gun control laws in order to minimize crime rates. There is no evidence to support this claim, but it is a strongly held perception amongst people. Citizens believe that if there are stringent laws on gun ownership then there will be fewer deaths. However, in reality this will only reduce the deaths resulting from gun shots. Criminals do not just use guns in order to create havoc; rather they have several Continue reading...

The project was to test the salinity of the water in the hotwell. On checking the salinity meter, the readings were unexpectedly high at 500ppm from the normal 0.5 to 2ppm. One possible explanation would be the failure of the meter. The problem that the team faced is that the engineer that had left did not leave any indication of the meter being faulty. This led to the team having to inspect the hotwell to find out what could have caused the problem.
On inspecting the hotwell, there was thick formation of dark sludge, which showed that the water Continue reading...

The paper is going to explain Singer’s argument in “Famine, Affluence, and Morality”. It will highlight the steps pointed out in his argument and elaborate their relationship to one another. Finally, it will elucidate Singer’s conclusion on the previously mentioned. Singer underscores that when we have the power to prevent very bad happenings without sacrificing anything significant morally let us do it (Singer, 1972, p.2). That is, it is upon every one of us to ensure we do not allow a situation to graduate from bad to worse, when we are Continue reading...

Also known as behaviorism, states that learning among human beings is based upon the idea that all behaviors are based upon the conditions availed. This means that if one is conditioned to know that something is bad he/she will avoid it if he/she is conditioned that something is good his/her behavior will reflect that (Schmalleger, 222). This theory which was postulated by the likes of John Watson and B.F Skinner can be used in criminology to identify why criminals act in a certain way. With this theory, one can conclude that one environment affects the choice of being a Continue reading...
