Control valves are an important gadget in engineering and the building of structures. Virtually, there are thousands of loops that determine how machines operate. Fundamentally, a valve controls the thermodynamic flow of fluid through regulation of fluid volume and speed. In essence, material flow at every point in the loop is the control using a control valve. In the engineering, there are fluid loops that contain energy transmission fluids, as well as loops containing different materials related to the nature of the end product manufactured. As a matter of fact, besides the structural characteristics that a control valve possesses, Continue reading...

Building Lego

Childhood Game: Building Lego
When I was younger, my older brother Timothy and I used to build our own empires. Not the literal ones, but the ones made of Lego. As such, we learned a lot from playing with Lego that we could still apply today. One of things we learned was creativity. Another thing we learned was problem solving. I, in particular, learned another thing – teamwork. All in all, my time spent with playing Lego helped me to become a well-adjusted child in many aspects including mentally and emotionally. However, you might find it a little odd if Continue reading...

Introduction

According to Russell, Hertz and McMillan most biologists define a species according to morphological characteristics (Russell, P., Hertz, P., & McMillan, B. (2013.These characteristics serve as indicators of species genetic similarity to or divergence from other species. A species is a collection of interbreeding populations that are reproductively isolated from other species in nature.
The experiment was carried out to find out the outcome of geographically separated lizard populations. Russell, Hertz and McMillan state that speciation resulting from divergent evolution among geographically separated populations is referred to as allopatric speciation (Russell, P., Hertz, P., & McMillan, B. (2013).If these allopatric Continue reading...

Represents the End of History

In his article titled “The End of History”, the author, Francis Fukuyama (UAF, 2013, p.1) seeks to prove that the liberal democracy that Western Nations advocate for sounds the death knell for sound and divergent political ideology that forms the world history. Subsequently, Fukayama (UAF, 2013, p.2) argues that the net effect of the advent of the Western liberalism ideology will result in the “end of history”. Tharoor (2012) describes Fukuyama as a “distinguished political philosopher and intellectual”.
In his argument, Fukayama (p.2) seeks to cement the fact that Western ideology has seen systematic acceptance and success in many Continue reading...

1.0 Lab 1: Heating Value Measurements: Solid and Liquid Fuels with a Bomb Calorimeter
1.1 Introduction
Measurements of heating values can be derived for both solid and liquid combustible fuels using an Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter. The calorimeter measures heat. Heat is not the same thing as temperature. The heat of combustion is called the calorific value. The calorific value is “:the number of heat units liberated by a unit mass of a sample when burned with oxygen in an enclosure of constant volume” (Introduction 2007). The experiment uses the 6100 Bomb Calorimeter. The definition of calorific value in a Continue reading...

Introduction

This is a comprehensive analysis that compares insurgencies and terrorists movements of post Second World War II and in our times. O’Neill begins this book by looking at post world war II insurgencies that have emerged which are related to terrorism and guerilla wars. He analyzes the nature of insurgency, tactics used in these guerilla wars both military and political “these so called small wars, which can be found on all continents, are often very costly and frequently involve major interest of regional and global powers,”¹, and makes us understand both physical and human environment of these organizations and how they have shaped the modern day world. This analysis also makes us understand the role of external support and how it can influence and change the course of wars.

In the event of catastrophic and disastrous situations, every state has to develop a psychological support framework that helps its citizens in such trying times. Dependent on the disaster and the extent of damage it has done, the psychological support agency is formulated. Every government has a provision in its ministries that caters for emergency services. Countries like Japan and Indonesia have frequent national disasters. These countries have to formulate psychological support systems in such events to help control their citizens. Logically, the loss of lives, property, and displacement of settlements induces emotional disgrace and imbalance on the citizens. Continue reading...

Introduction

The formation and disappearance of states and nations at the end of the Cold War became confusing to both policy makers and theorists. There have been arguments that the lack of theoretical preparation originates from two tendencies in the conventional theorizing. The first conventional theorizing is the dominant focus on cohesive nation-state as the sole actors of world politics makes it uneasy to determine the differences between the nation and the state. The second conventional theory according to these arguments is that traditional theory usually treats these two units as fixed (Zurich, 2009). In the modern turbulent world of Continue reading...

Patients with Post-Stroke Hemiparetic Upper Limb

Abstract
The US and Europe are both experiencing the coming of age of an elderly population which is prone to strokes and will need health care focused on post-stroke therapies. The most promising therapies are robot-assisted motion exercises coupled with Non-invasive Brain Simulations (NBS) such as Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (TMS). At this time the most attractive combination for both effective and affordable therapy is the use of simply designed, easily manipulated robot systems coupled with TMS.
