Introduction

Weighing machines have long been used for measuring weights of various objects. The basic principle behind weight measurement is balancing of force due to gravity of an object with some known standard. You could easily find weight of small objects by using standard weighing balances having pair of pans i.e. one carrying the object to be weighed and the other is used to put loads of known weights until machine is balanced. This method cannot be applied on large scales involving heavy machinery, vehicles, or even humans. Another traditional method of weighing involves balancing force of an object due ...

Introduction

Industries in West Virginia have violated the state-issued permit of pollution by releasing toxic substances such as coal ash and selenium into the local water supply. In addition to the threat toxic substances like coal ash and selenium pose to the health of the community, toxic water destroys the environment and destabilizes the local ecosystem of the areas impacted by such pollution. West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) was formed as a guidance tool to aid persons to know when it is environmentally secure to withdraw water from the stream. This judgment is built on percentages of yearly ...

Insrtuctor’s Name

It is truth universally acknowledged that the theme of the human’s choice has always been popular with the poets and writers. It is not surprising that Robert Frost, an iconic American poet, addresses it in his most famous and most quoted poem, The Road not Taken (“The Norton Anthology of Poetry” 1232-1233). In spite of the widely spread opinion that the poem raises the problem of “being an individual” or “taking a different road from the masses” (Fagan 293), I strongly believe that the poet’s major intention is to emphasize that no matter what choice we make ...

VERTEBRATE PHYSIOLOGY

Introduction The central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) constitute the two main parts of the vertebrate nervous system. Whereas the brain and the spinal cord form part of the CNS, nerves, which are enclosed bundles of axons, form part of the PNS and functions to link the CNS to every body part. Motor neurons transmit signals from the brain while afferent or the sensory function to transmit information from the body to the CNS. However, majority of the nerves perform this dual functionality and these are referred to as mixed nerves. Three divisions of the ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, is involved in the manufacturing process of all proteins in the body. It synthesizes proteins that repair and replace worn out tissues in the body. Stem cells (undifferentiated cells with the ability to differentiate) researches have shown that cells from some regions of the body can differentiate into different tissues. Therefore, they can replace worn out tissues and hence function as a repair mechanism. These cells can be induced to become tissue or organ cells. Scientists argue that perhaps the stem cells may carry out similar functions as DNA hence can replace it. This paper seeks to ...

Light is reflected from surfaces of all the items, and that reflected light is collected by the eye. The light enters the eye through the lens that focuses the light on the back of the eyeball. The pictorial nature of the image is then converted into electrical signals that the eye sends to brain where the signals are interpreted. Lens contracts and expands in absence and presence of light to adjust the light that enters the eye.

In psychology, there is a learning theory that states that as we learn, we adjust the manner in which we perceive our environment and the manner in which we interpret the incoming stimuli. Consequently, all this alters the way we interact, or behave. It is from this theory that one learns about behaviorism. The latter is the study or our behaviors after exposure to given stimuli within the environment. This helps us in understanding the effects given stimuli have on us. In the learning theory, we have classical and operant conditioning. In classical conditioning, one learns to associate one ...

1. Descartes famously begins his Meditations on First Philosophy by considering so-called “radical doubt.” What is radical doubt, and what are the three phases in the argument that lead him to it? What does he believe is the idea that is fundamentally resistant even to the deepest of doubts? And why does Descartes begin his epistemology like this, anyway? Rene Descartes propounded his theory of radical doubt where he insisted on the systematic process of doubting one’s beliefs in a bid to determine or ascertain that which is indeed true. Descartes, in his radical doubt, advocated for doubting ...

Introduction

Being able to identify how predation and competition influence natural selection is essential in understanding the evolutionary ecology of a population of species. In predation, substandard individuals are inherently selected. By substandard these are the young, sick and physically unfit individuals. As a result, preys also evolve into a more resilient ones putting pressure also to the predators. This scenario reflects a coevolution of both predators and preys. In this study, we will examine the predatory-prey relationship and understand the dynamics involved in relation to environmental changes.

Methodology

Four different kinds of prey and five different kinds of predator were considered in this study. ...

Introduction to Wave

Wave motion is known as transfer and moving energy from one point to another, wave is also referred as oscillation or disturbance that travels along the matter or space. There are two categories of waves they include transverse and longitudinal waves. In longitudinal wave particles of the medium are displaced in a direction parallel to the energy transferred while in a transverse wave particles of the medium are displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transferred (Hewitt & Paul, 35). Waves can be moved along ropes across the surface of strings and water. Some waves can travel through space. ...

In the poem The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost is not suggesting the reader, when confronted with a ‘fork in the road’, take the road less frequented. In fact, neither of the two roads mentioned in the poem are less frequented. In the third stanza of the poem, the author writes:

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I kept the first for another day!

This clearly shows that both the road were covered by leaves that had not been stepped upon, and hence, it traveler would not be able to guess which one had been tread on ...

Question 1.

If you have spent your entire life waking up to an alarm clock and then dashing off to school or work, then followed a closely regimented schedule, then headed home to have your evening regulated by a schedule of activities or television programs, then time is something that preoccupies you on a very short scale. Because you hear the clock ticking each second, then you expect to accomplish things quickly – and you expect to get quick results from the things that you do.

However, when it comes to changes in nature, time has a completely different meaning. As Rachel Carson writes, “time is ...

The journey is something that has been discussed in literature for many years, as it carries a universal resonance for all people who wish to reach a destination or accomplish a goal. Eudora Welty and Robert Frost are two authors who examine the nature of the journey, and attempt to symbolize that nature in their short stories and poems, “A Worn Path” and “The Road Not Taken,” respectively. Both “A Worn Path” and “The Road Not Taken” are about how the journey we take through life defines us and gives us purpose. Phoenix’ journey is to help others and herself; the protagonist ...
