Essays on Dinosaur

Introduction

Multiple researches suggest that dinosaurs are among the most successful groups of animals to have ever lived on earth. Their body physique and adaptability enhanced their survival thereby extending their life longevity. In the course of time, these species evolved into diverse shapes and sizes. As a result, the different types of evolved organisms embraced various modes of living. According to Xu (2006), nearly 150 years after the discovery of the first fossils of the dinosaur, this species was believed be a reptile. In fact, when Richard Owen found the first remains of this organism, the paleontologists used the ...

In this case, IBM developed the dial-up-era dinosaur programme which was developed with the aim of connecting the customers with the company through the social media networks. This however, was similar to a similar product that had been developed by The Groupon Ltd. Groupon went further to obtain a patent to bar the other companies from using the similar product. This product as per the business ethics were said to be unfair in terms of being unfair to Groupon since it had the patent to the product (Vanian, 2016). The case brought before the court is one which was ...

Improved scientific understanding in recent years has shown that humans are the major causes of climate change on the planet. A report released by IPCC (the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) in 2014 reports that it is “extremely likely” that the dominant cause of global warming in the 20th Century is the influence of humans. Human activities over the last two hundred years, since the beginning of industrialization, have caused a building up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and as a result, the Greenhouse Effect (a natural phenomenon which regulates the temperature of the earth) has increased ...

There are a number of ways by which the media forms communicate with their audience and tend to convey the underlying themes and ideas using them. Specifically, in the case of films, the use of visual content, sound, construction of a shot and it’s editing, performance, recording, etc. It is obvious that an effective use of visuals aided by supporting multimedia always results in a deeper impact on the audience as the visual has a deeper response generation from the brain. This concept, when strategically used in the making of films results in tremendous changes in terms of ...

Introduction

Dinosaurs are creatures that are believed to have dominated the earth millions of years ago. It is assumed that they existed at a time when human life was not in the phase. Scientific evidence proves that dinosaurs are the biggest animals that have ever been on the earth’s surface. There is no cogent reason why they became extinct. It is clear that, their existence on earth was timely because, not even a single dinosaur exists. In this regard, therefore, it is reasonable to carry out a research that focuses on unveiling possible causes and explanations that support the idea that, dinosaurs ...

Nowadays, almost everyone heard at least something about global warming. But, it is not only the change of the climate, but also, the consequences of it. Usually, the term is used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. However, not every scientist believes the global warming is real. But, the data and facts say the planet is warming. Interestingly, the humans knew about global warming even in the late 1800s, but did little to prevent it. So, today, ...

Theoretical Explanations of Two Prominent Pre-Industrial Civilizations: The Mayan Civilization and the Roman Empire from the Lens of Joseph Tainter and Arnold Toynbee

Introduction

Civilizations have characterized much of human history and have laid the groundwork for several innovations on human organization. As humans have learned to congregate in societies, they have developed their respective ways of living based on their understanding on the natural and social environment enveloping them within a given geographical area. Human organization inevitably comes into play, in which positions of authority are recognized and tasked to maintain and improve the political, economic and religious affairs of ...

Historically, communication has been a vital process in human existent. The mode of communication depends entirely on the environment and the circumstances around an individual. The use of images to communicate a message to people has been classified as one of the effective modes of communication. However, the meaning of an image depends on the ability of an individual to interpret the image and deduce a constructive meaning from it. Nowadays, images are used in almost every advert that we come across. This is evident from all sectors of life ranging from business, health, sports, education, entertainment, religion and so on. Semiotic ...

Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" is a short story about the dangers of technology, and the necessity of ecological consciousness. The short story uses powerful imagery and metaphors to drive home its central points of the consequences of mankind's meddling with nature. The leitmotif of the short story, the so-called butterfly effect, leads the reader to a deeper understanding of the story's meaning -- as well as mankind's vain and ignorant struggle to conquer his environment, at any cost. The butterfly effect was first discovered in 1961 by meteorologist and mathematician, Konrad Lorenz. As a part of a weather prediction, Lorenz ...

The age of the earth is something that a lot of scientists, particularly geologists, archaeologists, and paleontologists, have continuously theorized. According to a recent geologic time scale, the earth is estimated to be around four point fifty four billion years old `. There are numerous theories that are currently being studied as to what is the most accurate means of knowing the chronological age of the earth. It is also important to mention that because of the number of theories surrounding the true age of the earth, literatures have been filled with different values. For the purpose of uniformity, however, the rough ...

In the wake of the second world war and with the entry into what would come to be known as the “nuclear age”, the world knew that nothing would be the same in the second half of the 20th century. Arguably, nobody felt the dawn of the nuclear age greater than Japan following the devastation and chaos caused by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. First-hand accounts of the bombings were frightening; people screaming, fleeing, desperate to find cover, while a blinding light and a sudden blazing heat suddenly filled the air, followed swiftly by an ominous roar, a steady rumble would follow, ...

Introduction

For more than 150 million years, dinosaurs roamed across the earth. However, most dinosaurs became extinct suddenly within a short time. The last of the dinosaurs are estimated to have died about 65 million years ago. The cause of their extinction continues to be a mystery, with a number of factors such as diseases, climate change, geologic events and changing plant communities being thought to have played a part in the demise of dinosaurs. Of late, theories of dinosaur extinction have been the subject of much controversy and debate. The explanation that seems to have the support of many scientists spells out that ...

Introduction:

The function of many living organisms is coupled with a vast array of cells .These units in turn serve as role playing agents for the fundamental physiology that determines the well being of organisms. However, variations in cellular environment are thought to regulate cell growth, division and survival. A network of molecular pathways or signaling events are interlinked with the cellular functions .Alterations in this specific functional aspect could lead to unnecessary complications which may lead to health abnormalities. In such context , the present description is concerned with highlighting about mTOR Signaling in Carcinogenesis. mTOR stands for mammalian target ...

Introduction:

Living organisms are equipped with robust machinery for executing a myriad of tasks to meet the day to day biological challenges. This machinery in turn relies on one or more interconnected pathways or networks composed of nucleic acid, proteins and other essential constituents. To say, it is the precise function of these components which determines the physiological well being organisms. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinases is one such known component that performs diverse physiological roles through its associations with the molecular machinery. mTOR is a protein that responds to metabolism and ageing, intercellular stress to growth regulation, growth factors ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

Jurassic Park (1993) is a theme park hosting an array of non-animatronic entertainment that delights, excites, and horrifies its tourists. Despite their beauty and aggression, some of the animals represented are not where they belong. Under a geological lens, not a few but the majority of the reptilian cast represented are sorely misplace if not lost from their respective place in time. Though several of them are present for the sake an audience, it matters that such a blockbuster hit names its main event after the wrong era. The species of Jurassic Park whose range of existence was within one of the ...

No other American film auteur in the modern era has had a greater impact on the industry than Steven Spielberg. The man who created E.T. and Jurassic Park has personalized the art of filmic storytelling to a greater extent than any other director. In fact, it could be argued that Spielberg has so popularized the auteurist tradition that directors who have been inspired by the Indiana Jones movies and Poltergeist believe putting their personal stamp on a movie represents the height of the director’s art, the norm rather than the exception. Contributions from the great European directors of Francois Truffaut’s ...

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 ...

Poem analysis is usually done according to the author’s perspective. The analysis of the poem is done to project the real motive behind the author’s piece of art. When analyzing a poem, there are two approaches that are applicable. One focuses on the outer view of the poem which uses the actual view and characters used by the author. The second approach looks at the poem in an angle of the author’s sentiments. In this paper I will review three poems; Mountain Boomer, Bodacious and Firetread The Last. The three poems have almost similar themes but with ...

Ellen Carson has written a series of books for the children which narrates the Adventure of a 4years dinosaur called Ellasaurus.
