Caucasian and African women are segregated by the differences in their salary and education. With the persistence of racial-based wage and education gaps in modern society, the status and role of colored women, specifically those from the African descent, remain discriminated due to the prevalence of indissoluble racial and gender stereotypes. Although the philosophy of racial and gender equality has, in essence, created “equal education opportunities” for all females, the provision of racial equity has yet to be fully realized. In reality, however, the education and economic gap between Caucasian and African women evinces that the school and professional ...

HadCM3 stands for Hadley Center Coupling model version three. This global climate model (GCM) was developed by the Met Office Hadley Center for Climate Science and Services in 2000, and was used as one of the major GCM ever since, starting from the Third Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2001. The model includes two elements – HadAm3 (for atmospheric modeling) and HadOM3 (for oceanic modeling), therefore forming a coupling assessment model.

A magneto is small generator formed from a permanent magnet, which uses electricity to give outputs such as pulses of high voltage. A magneto has a transformer, switch and distributor, which give alternating current the direction to the plug that produces sparks. Timing in magneto is the interval in which the breaking point occurs after producing the sparks. Therefore, the purpose of magneto timing is to actualize high voltage used to produce sparks at the right time. It is achieved through the internal and external timing. Internal timing takes place mechanically on a bench. There are two adjustments in ...

Introduction/Problem Statement

Despite much hullabaloo on women's equality and empowerment, it is not yet ascertained that the fairer sex is considered as equal when it comes to employment. Four decades after the enactment of Equal Pay Act, research finds that the salary of female bosses runs 35 percent short of their male colleagues. Statistics galore revealing the wage differential across occupations and industries. By contrast, critics on the 'right' opine that the pay gap is just a 'myth' as women deserve to get paid less because they work in less demanding jobs than male counterparts. Obviously, the issue carries much heft ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Introduction

Can colleges and universities increase their tuition rates continuously, despite the suffering they cause students? This issue can be and has been tackled by economics – specifically; we can use the tools offered by the study of price elasticity of demand to see what colleges take into consideration before raising their prices. The reaction of students to the increasing tuitions and other expenses might be a driving force on the demand side for higher education. If the students believe that higher education’s high costs will not create a value equal to or less than its cost, they might prefer ...

Introduction

Using Evidence of Student Learning to Improve Higher Education, written by accomplished and known scholars, highlights the fact that students can acquire effective and useful learning only when educational institutions across the United States focus on transferring knowledge to students, rather than administer instruction with the sole objective of complying with state and donor funding regulations (Kuh et al., 2014). To this end, this paper focuses on the pivotal role of teachers in ensuring that their students are actively engaged in the pursuit of real knowledge that will help them in their career and future studies, as opposed to ...

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to solve numerous real world problems involving right-angled triangles where the lengths of at least two sides are known. One of the areas the theorem can be applied is in construction by painters. Since painters use ladders to reach high walls, the Pythagorean theorem would assist them in determining how tall their ladder should be in order for its base to be safely placed away from the wall such that it is stable and does not tip over. The walls are perpendicular to the ground, and the ladder is a hypotenuse, and this ...
