The Importance of Chemistry Labs in Florida National University

Florida National University is one of the leading universities in the region. While it is replete with many facilities, it glaringly lacks a chemistry lab. Online laboratory exercises are no substitute to the actual experiential learning in a chemistry lab. Reid and Shah argue that the absence of the laboratory experience may leave students with perceptions of chemistry that would be very ‘abstract and theoretical’. While students might perceive that the theoretical understanding is gained at a relatively slow pace through lab work, it is undoubtedly true that the knowledge gained would stand in good stead in future professional ...

In America, Federalism came into practice when some states rejected the thought of a unitary government. Due to the large size of the country, the founding fathers allowed states to form powerful governments. State governments are used as a training ground or political labs for policing, where new ideas can be implemented and evaluated (El Camino College N.pag). In Federalism practicing states such as Florida, state government possesses the power of providing safety and public health, regulate interstate commerce, form government and conduct elections. However, Washington still carries the power of printing money, declaring war, establishing an army and ...

This paper substantiates the insights espoused by Enrico Moretti that the level of economic success depends on a number of factors, such as: education, productivity, and salary. These factors related greatly to geography, that is, where you live and work (Moretti 3). According to Moretti, a worker’s educational level and skills will determine his salary and on the economic progress of other individuals around him/her. Depending on the geographic location, the economic success between two individuals shows significant variances. Workers in developed cities, where innovation proves to be the driver in labor productivity, earn up to three times ...

Skin cancer is a growing epidemic around the world and rates of incidence rise every year (between 1992 and 2006, the increase was up to 77%). Skin cancer is usually directly related to ultraviolet radiation, especially from the sun and tanning beds.

Many skin cancers are treatable if detected early; however, prevention of unsafe sun exposure would decrease the number of diagnoses. Nurse practitioners have a great role in health promotion and skin cancer prevention, simply ...

The Sandy Hooks debacle sent shock waves throughout the American education system and by extension, compelled other forward thinking nations to review their respective educational systems.

Over the period from 2010 to 2016 the U.S. Supreme Court delivered its rulings in a range of landmark criminal cases, dealing with diverse topics, such as freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, rights regarding counsel, detainment of suspects in terrorism, as well as criminal sentences. The case Miller v Alabama (2012) belongs to the last category. The major finding of the Court in this case was that mandatory sentences of life, not including the parole possibility, are unconstitutional in relation to juvenile offenders. The case was referred to the Supreme Court by Evan Miller, a 14-year boy, who ...

Although the US has recorded hundreds of proposed reforms to its healthcare system, few have been enacted into law.

Subsequently, the impact of these changes on the state of health in the various states has emerged as an important area of study. In view of this, the current paper compares and contrasts the state of health in the states ...

Most pill mills operate under the name pain clinic where they help patients to manage pain. Most narcotic painkillers are dispensed in pain clinics, for instance, diazepam, oxycodone, morphine, and methadone (Surratt et al. 2014). Pill mills should be eradicated because doctors give prescriptions without upholding the Hippocratic Oath thus causing many deaths and ...

Maps can generally be described as representation of the real world through graphics. However, this representation is usually considered an abstraction of the real world phenomenon (Chorley and Peter, 48). This is mainly as a result of the fact that the universe is infinite and it is quite impossible to capture its entire complexities in a single source. Maps can be used to represent various issues for instance: The distribution of human population, temperatures and other aspects of the environment. In the case of representing the distribution of nature in an accurate manner the following maps can be used:

Executive Summary

While the allocation of tax dollars is a constant debate amongst Americans, regardless of legislative positions, the issue of welfare seems to be a particularly complicated one. To that end, many states (including yours) have instituted (or tried to institute) laws requiring welfare recipients to undergo mandatory drug tests. While this is an admirable idea in concept, the social and economic effects far outweigh any sense of moral righteousness one might feel for keeping welfare recipients in their place, as well as deals with unconstitutional ideas of unreasonable searches. To that end, I humbly propose that these programs be ...

In the same year, the U.S had 27.1 million businesses but more than one-fifth (21.35) were the minority-owned firms. Compared to ...

I love to travel to different places, and Florida is a city that catches my attention in no time. The town boasts beautiful theme parks, including Universal Studios, top-notch malls, shopping centers, and exotic wildlife, but its beaches capture my heart. Relaxing waters, stunning sunrises and sunsets, and positive vibrations force me to spend time on these beaches again and again. However, it is unfortunate that global warming and changing climatic patterns are causing a grave threat to beaches, shore communities, and surrounding areas. Life has already been altered in many places, and a vast population has been rehabilitated owing to destructive ...

Discuss the therapeutic effects of Ultrasound in the treatment of a tennis elbow soft tissue injury

Introduction The ultrasound is used as a treatment for soft tissue injuries using sound waves that are beyond the range of normal hearing. An ultrasound consists of inaudible high frequency mechanical vibrations (Gibbs, Cole and Sassano, 2009) which are created upon the conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy through mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric crystal which lies within the transducer (Rheumatology, 2011). Therapeutic ultrasound uses a frequency between 0.75 and 3 MHz (Knight, Knight and Draper, 2013) for heating deeper and superficial tissues. Low frequency ultrasound at 1 Mhz is absorbed by tissues up to 3 to 5 cm ...

New York Times pollster Nate Silver was very accurate in his predictions throughout the election, and stated all along that Barack Obama was going to win. The 2012 election was only contested in about ten “swing states” such as Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Florida and Nevada. He did not contest the election at all in most of the South, except for Florida, Virginia and North Carolina, and basically conceded states like Texas, Georgia, Mississippi and Oklahoma to Romney. In all of those Red States, the white voters overwhelmingly support the Republicans, especially against a black president, and there was no surprise ...

One of the key essentials of a fair trial is availing legal representation to a defendant. This is embodied in the right to counsel. Basically, this right enables a defendant during proceedings to be aided by a lawyer at their own expense, or if unable to pay for one, at the state’s expense. The basis for this right is that a defendant may be greatly disadvantaged, especially in criminal proceedings, if they are deprived of legal representation. This right enables the defendant, through counsel, to take part actively in the pre-trial process and also the trial itself.

This right is so fundamental ...

An assessment of his policies on war, education, healthcare, immigration and humanitarian efforts portray of picture of a president who took tough decisions during difficult times. Some of his decisions were criticized heavily and led to a dip in his popularity ratings and some are still ...

It is correctly pointed out that Alabama is an entirely inappropriate venue for the case between Mr. O’Leary and Ms. Johnson. Alabama is the wrong choice of courts because there is no subject-matter jurisdiction (as the controversy occurred in Florida) and neither is there personal jurisdiction over Ms. Johnson because she is a resident of New Jersey.

The analysis regarding federal diversity jurisdiction is largely correct as well. Ms. Johnson should have been prevented from filing a claim in the federal courts for want of an appropriate value of the controversy that she presented. However, the analysis regarding the ...

Is it justifiable that people who are terminally ill should be kept on life-support when the best thing would be to let them decide for themselves? If one were to answer the question on the ethical dilemma on keeping terminally ill patients or patients with no quality of life alive, one doesn't have to look any further than the case of ...

In a short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, which was written in 1953, Flannery O’Connor describes a tragedy happened in a family because of how the grandmother behaved. O’Connor shows the grandmother as a person deserving compassion and pity at first, but then the actions of this character start to cause the reader feel anger and condemnation. The grandmother’s character does not stay the same throughout the story, but changes as the character realizes her mistakes and flaws when it is too late.

The grandmother is presented in the first sentence of the story as a simple ...

Stress has been part of human life ever since the beginning of mankind. Initially, people stressed themselves out hunting for food, finding places to rest, and inexplicability of natural phenomena. With the globalisation of industries and the presence of multinational companies all over the world, organizations may need to consider adopting certain policies to match up to other similar organizations. Stress in organisations has become a major issue in the UK and most organisations now have policies and procedures to help employees avoid this and interventions are often in place to support them.

The photomorpogenesis research project at Clemson University is very interesting. Photomorphogenesis means light-mediated growth, and photomorphogenesis research looks at how the manipulation of light sources effects plants. This regulation of plant growth is independent of photosynthesis and it is controlled by the pigment phytochrome. Phytochrome exists in two forms, Pr and Pfr and has peak absorptions at 660nm and 730nm red-range light. It’s the conversion of the pigment between the two forms that ultimately influences the plant growth, the morphology, flowering, and germination.

The photomorphogenesis research program at Clemson University was founded in 1985. The initial research ...

Bureaucracy is a managerial structure with a set of regulations formulated to govern activities within an organization. It aims at rationalizing the activities and ensuring that they get effectively and professionally executed. Its successful nature is bound to the state of the atmosphere within which it operates.

Introduction

In a classic financial world as predicted by Modigliani and Miller (M&M), the risk management should be irrelevant. When there are no information asymmetries, taxes or transaction cost involved, hedging will not add any value to a firm because shareholders or companies can diversify their portfolio in such a way that their overall risk will be totally hedged (Lin and Chang 2006). However, the real world is far from the Modigliani and Miller model. In practice, we see imperfections in the financial market. This imperfection may actually create a rationale to reduce the volatility of earnings for a firm through hedging.

1) Lionfish, belonging to the genus Pterois, is native to the Pacific and Indian oceans. They inhabit the coral reefs and lagoons and predate the small fish. Lionfish is now abundantly encountered in the United States East coast and Caribbean Sea.

In the last two decades the lionfish particularly the P. volitans species has expanded largely across Western Atlantic and Caribbean (Albins and Hixon, 2011). ...

Florida then moved to prepare its defences, by passing legislature that agreed to appropriate $100,000 for ammunition and arms purchases, and raised one cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments, in February 1861.

Especially Pickens was of particular interest to both the South and the North and the military confrontation there brought dark clouds of civil war-threat; however, Fort Pickens remained in the Union’s hands from beginning to end of the war.
