Advancements in aircraft reciprocating engines

Introduction There is a misconception that because modern aircraft engines built by Lycoming, Continental and other companies have similar look to engines used in general aviation aircrafts of the 1970s, there have been no technological advancements in this field. Even though new engines haven’t changed much by outward appearances, aircraft reciprocating engine technologies have advanced dramatically in past two decades. The overall build quality of engine has greatly improved. Advancements in machining technologies and automatic manufacturing processes made it possible for aircraft engine makers to enhance machine’s durability. Many components of piston engines have been significantly improved, ...

When we are talking about the death penalty, what state are we thinking about? Of course it is Texas. Everyone knows that this state is, for sure, the capital of death punishment. It got this name after numerous executions with lethal injection. As for example, we can see that the quantity of such death penalties here since 1976 includes more than five hundred cases (DPIC). First of all, this number shows us that Texas was actually a leader state for such executions. Secondly, it has the historical grounding. The first such action was taken here – on December 7, 1982 ...

During my past few years as a nursing student and as a trainee nurse at this institute, I have come across different situations and experiences that have molded my thought process, my goals, and my whole personality. I have chosen the question: What do you feel you can contribute to the patient, for this assignment. Though I have chosen the nursing career with my own goals in mind, clinical experience has made me realize the extent to which patients are reliant on the nurse. I can confidently state that it would be impossible for hospitals to function without nurses. ...

In this essay I will dwell upon the issue of euthanasia. I will consider different views on this issue and discuss the contradictions that arise in relation to the use of euthanasia in different situations. I believe that passive euthanasia is possible and even desirable to alleviate the suffering of a terminally ill patient, when there is no hope to return the essential functions of his body, provided appropriate control over the lawfulness of the procedure implementation. Euthanasia is a conscious action, resulting in the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless ...

Advantages and disadvantages of having a circumcision

Various persons and groups have advocated for and against circumcision, often citing various advantages or disadvantages to back up their respective positions. Some advantages according to Elist (2013a), the National Health Service (NHS) (2016) and Webmd (2014) include the reduced risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) especially HIV, cancer of the penis and cervical cancer in female partners. It also acts as prophylaxis against balanitis, balanoposthitis phimosis and paraphimosis as well as facilitates the maintenance of penis hygiene (Elist, 2013b; NHS, 2016; Webmd, 2014; Wiswell, 1997). Disadvantages of the procedure include complications which may ...

In clinical practice, patients are sometimes scheduled to go through complex procedures such as surgery. In other cases, medical practitioners face the issue of switching off life support machines, or choose between the life of the mother and her unborn child. In such cases, the medical practitioner must get the patient’s consent before performing such procedures. Patients may or may not allow the doctors to carry out these procedures depending on the information they have on the matter. In addition, patients may refuse to get treatment depending on their religious beliefs. For example, some religions believe that blood ...

The article at hand discussed the effectiveness and benefits of usage of MR Imaging in the case of Alzheimer Disease.

The main purpose of the study was to determine whether MR targeted to the hippocampus is helpful in identifying and monitoring Alzheimer Disease. It is also aimed at seeking ways to achieve improvement in pathologic brain abnormalities and behavior that can possibly prevent prompt development of disease. The choice of the method that was ...

Advantages

Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin. Circumcision may be performed for various reasons such as medical reasons, religious and cultural reasons and HIV prevention. Firstly, circumcision might be done to treat the following conditions: Phimosis is a condition wherein the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the glans penis. This can be a cause for pain during erection and may cause urination to be painful and difficult.

Recurrent balanitis is the inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis.

Paraphimosis wherein the foreskin can’t be returned to its original position Penile cancer Aside from the medical reasons mentioned above, circumcision is a religious and ...

Fuel Cell Technologies in Passenger Cars

Fuel Cell Technology The last decade is characterized by the rapid development of research activity in the field of fuel cells, thus, creating the conditions for their uptake in electric systems. The basic fuel cells’ operating principle has been known for 150 years. However, a variety of technical and financial problems had kept them on the margins of technological applications (Brandon & Hart, 1999). The basic difference between a fuel cell and batteries is that while batteries store energy, fuel cells directly convert a fuel’s chemical energy into electricity by an electrochemical reaction (i.e. Without requiring combustion or movement ...

Increase Government Spending to Fight Recessions

Introduction Government spending as a recession recovery tool has been the subject of debate numerous times. To date, there is no definitive proof of its success or failure of its application. An active fiscal or a monetary policy is the sum total of the actions taken as a reaction to the current economic conditions; the government chooses to use a specific policy to deal with something in the economy (Mankiw, 2001).

Government spending as a method for lessening recession is a tool that has been proposed and even applied by many governments when they are experiencing a recession. This ...

Rat Endocrinology

Hypothalamus 1. What is the molecular mechanism to release TRH? TRH refers to the thyrotropin-releasing hormone. This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus. Before the full activity of TRH, some tightly controlled processes occur in the body including the appropriate folding of prohormone to move to the secretary pathway, the processing after translation, and movement of the peptides, which are processed, towards the secretary granules for secretion (Nillni n.p.). TRH develops from bigger inactive precursor (known as proTRH) as a result of modifications after translation and moved through the controlled secretary pathway. Prohormone convertases (abbreviated as PCs) including PC1/3 ...

Introduction Death, as a form of punishment, is being practiced even in the earliest days of human civilization. The people of ancient Mesopotamia, during the time of Hammurabi, have been observed to perform death sentences on certain transgressions and immoral acts, as determined by their codes . Similarly, the Hebrews has also been using death as a capital punishment for several transgressions under their law. The traditional Law of Moses, which can also be read in the Christian bible, is, in fact, a relic of the age old tradition of exacting death penalty that has been practiced for ...

Abstract Innovations and modifications that produce cost reductions and enhance performance have driven the evolution of the classic solid rocket and the liquid bipropellant rocket into hybrid models that integrate the predominant solid and liquid model features into more sensical, more economical fabrications of design. The commercial spacecraft demands for aerospace propulsion have also evolved to include a market for environmentally sustainable hybrid rocket engines that has yet to fully mature to the Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Numerical modeling has been used as a tool to test the feasibility of new solid fuel types. ABS has been considered as ...

Budget Development Project

The great depression in 1929 led to the emergence of organization some of which are meant to make profits while other run as non-profits (Penner, 2013). Indeed, these organizations are required to budget for their expenses in light of their operations. A budget refers to the overall estimation of how an organization, institution, individual or government aims to spend the resources for a specific period. These resources may include money, inventory, labour among other factors of production . Normally, top-level managers including CEOs do the formulation of a budget. However, there can be involvement of subordinate staff in decision-making. In ...

Abstract

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, central line-associated bloodstream infections lead to the deaths of thousands of people every year in the United States. These infections actually represent about 10% of all hospital-acquired infections translating to about 71, 900 infections per year in US hospitals. Also, this condition adds billions of dollars to the total health care system costs. However, these infections are actually preventable. This paper analyzes literature related to this topic and tries to establish the best method for solving the problem of central line-associated bloodstream infections. The paper suggests the standardization of central ...

Nursing intervention

On admission of the patient to the hospital, several interventions will be conducted to help analyze the client's conditions. First, I will review Mrs. J conditions by comparing with other set factors and conditions that stress the heart. If Mrs. J has acute and chronic diseases, the circulation of the blood in the heart may be compromised due to the excessive demand on the heart. Secondly, I will check the client's laboratory data such as cardiac markers, complete blood cell count, creatinine, ABG's.

The death penalty remains a most controversial topic not only in the ‘US but the rest of the world for many years now. It was in 1622 that the first execution took place in the United States in Virginia for a criminal in the American colonies as stated by Marcus (838). Many oppose while several others support the death penalty. What adds to the debatable issue are the process, mistakes, and costs involved. The last execution in the US took place in 2015. The paper considers all those issues related to the death penalty and if it is the ...

A 19-year-old high school girl was shot twice and buried while still alive in 1998 and Clayton Lockett was convicted of her murder (“Clayton Lockett” 1). After conviction, he was given the death penalty to be imposed by lethal injection and fifteen years later, his execution was botched when drug dosage was not adequate for death, finding veins for giving the drugs required multiple attempts, and the medications leaked into his muscle tissue (Connor). Witnesses to his death described it as agonizing and the response of the public again stirred the debate concerning using government sanctions to kill in ...

The basic most concept of morality taught to people revolves around the dictum that human life is sacred, and it has great value. This is the very reason death comes as a shock to people, chiefly because life is a gift and it is cherished by every soul. Throughout the history of mankind, people have killed and have been killed over various disputes. The death penalty has been a major form of punishment given to people in order to penalize them rightly for their crime. The executions were carried out in various forms where torture, beheading at the gallows, ...

Clayton Lockett was a 38-year-old murderer of a 19-year-old girl whom he shot twice and then buried while she was still alive (Connor, 2015). Following his conviction, he was sentenced to death in Oklahoma by lethal injection. Fifteen years later in April 2014, his execution was botched when inadequate drugs, an inability to find an adequate vein for instillation, and inappropriate administration into muscle tissue resulted in an agonizing and prolonged death. The public’s response to the news releases ignited again the debate over the use of the death penalty for punishment of the worst offenders in society. ...

How the composition of government spending changed since the 1960’s

Taylor (para 9) notes that a huge percentage of government expenditure is directed to entitlements as opposed to investments. Notably in 1962, the expenditure on investment was 2 ½ times that of entitlements. However, in the 21st century, the spending on entitlement is three times more than on investments (Taylor para 9). This trend attributes to the fact that most of the government spending goes to consumption, and only a few investments are made. In 1960’s the expenditure on entitlements was approximately 15 percent, but now it is more than half of all the federal expenditure. For instance, in ...

There is a sharp distinction between active and passive euthanasia. The former is the voluntary act of ending life or “mercy killing” while the latter is the cessation of the activities used to prolong a patient’s life. There have been strong debates concerning the moral permissibility of the active euthanasia. In this essay, I will present the arguments put forth by Rachels and Callahan concerning the issue and argue that the active voluntary euthanasia is not morally permissible. In his justification of the active voluntary euthanasia, James Rachels stands that judging from moral grounds active and passive euthanasia ...

Having looked at the PAD debate from either side of the argument, and having known what leads terminally ill patients to consider PAD, it is wise to consider whether the choices made by the terminally ill patients are worth the risk of having their lives terminated. By the time many of them are making the decision to have their lives ended, they will have made conscious and informed comparative searches and arrived at the decision to have someone help them end their lives. Many are the times when these patients are put on life- saving medical treatments without which ...

The HIV/AIDS global epidemic has ravaged millions of lives across the world. In the past, prior to the discovery of effective control measures through medication such as antiRetroViral medication, the disease had infected millions of lives. At the present time, although the discovery of a vaccine has not yet been made, scientific research has made some leeway with regards to this issue. One would expect very low prevalence rate of the disease in the most powerful country in the world owing to the high level of medical technology and innovation systems available. However, this situation is further from the ...

Abstract

This paper puts the legal and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide in the context of the larger debate on privacy and the right to die, which can be divided into three constituent parts: (1) a patient’s constitutionally protected right to privacy in all matters involving end-of-life treatment decisions. So long as a patient has the mental capacity to make informed consent, the government does not have a legitimate interest to override end-of-life decisions. Critical to the analysis of a patient’s refusal of life-sustaining treatment is the burden of the state to prove a patient did not have ...

Introduction It was hard for the economists, professional analysts and policymakers among other players in the financial industry to foresee the crisis in the US mortgage lending industry in 2007 that resulted in the world's worst economic recession in two years' time (Sher and Iyanatul 2010). Initially, there was a housing bubble characterized by high house prices, low-interest rates, more support for subprime mortgage and increased speculation by the buyers (Acharya and Schnabl 2010). Eventually, there were decline of house market prices, increased lending rates and increased default and foreclosures by the mortgagors (John 2009). Notably, by mid-2008 the ...

As independent variable of the current study, the experimenter used measures of self-esteem of students. A dependent variable was an academic success/failure of students. Students` success was measured by good grades while students` failure was measured by exclusion them out of the college. The experimenter suggested that low and high self-esteems influence the academic success and achievements of students in the college. However, she could be wrong with her final conclusions. Of course, it is possible that low self-esteem influences academic success negatively and high self-esteem influences academic success positively. However, it is also possible that low self-esteem is ...

Abstract

Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies (CCS) is a technological method that is used to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from a variety of sources including industries and fossil fuels production and power sources. This type of technology involves the capture of dioxide either after burning or before burning and then transporting via ships or pipelines and then directing it into the deep underground for storage purposes. This type of technology has been in existence since the 1970’s and has rapidly evolved over time. In fact, the increased impact of the greenhouse effect due to increased amounts ...

Euthanasia, widely known as mercy killing, has been a topic of debate globally. The word ‘euthanasia’ is made by the combination of two Greek words eu (well) and thanatos (death). The terms euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide or terminal sedation are sometimes used inter-changeably to define a condition wherein a lethal injection is given to patients who are extremely ill. This intentional killing is for the beneficence of pain and suffering of the patient. The ethics and legality of euthanasia have been questioned in many countries and only a few have approved it. It is a complex and challenging issue in the field of medical care ...

- Introduction The Apollo missions were a series of space flights planned and implemented in the 1960’s and early 1970’s by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to achieve circumlunar flight and ultimately a moon landing. The vehicles used to achieve these goals comprised a Saturn V rocket as the launch vehicle, carrying atop the initially-combined Apollo Command and Service Module (CSM) and the Lunar Module (LM).

- The Obstacles The first and important obstacle was obtaining the necessary funding for the program. NASA’s budget estimate was originally circa $20 billion needed from government funding. ...

An EMS controls the vehicle engine in response to both vehicle and engine inputs. It consists of an electronic control unit composed of a micro-processor with several electromechanical and electronic actuators and sensors. Sensor devices are used to monitor the vehicle engine and detect engine speed, lambda values, crank angle and other engine parameters. The electronic control unit determines the engine ignition time, the quantity of fuel and other engine parameters that keep the vehicle engine running. The ECU does this by use of input values that are calculated based on the inputs that originate from the sensors. Under this ...

A popular saying goes “to err is human” which has been proven true in many instances that human beings are generally fallible. People can be wrong but contrary to many skeptics arguments, their fallibility shows that not only would they be wrong, but can also be right. Being wrong does not only carry the possibility of one being right, but implies that often he/she is. Fallibility is a mark of objectivity as it shows there is no standard other than oneself which determines what is right or wrong. Most people can be wrong in given instances but that does ...

Medical profession has a broad spectrum of ethical and legal issues at a broader organizational level as well as at an individual level. While it is an individual who actually delivers the services, it is because of the brand that a patient goes in. Hence, it is logical to extend the responsibility of omissions and commissions from the individual caregiver to the organization also.

Negligence has serious connotations in any profession, but more so in the medical profession. A simple injection administered through the wrong route (for example, an IV (intra-venous) injection administered as an IM (intra-muscular) injection could result in severe ...

The inner loop represents the flows of inputs for production and goods and services: households sell their labor to firms, and the firms sell the goods and services they produce to households. The outer loop in the diagram represents the corresponding flows of money: households pay the firms for the goods and services, and the firms pay wages and profit to the households.

Households increase savings. The presence of increase in household saving implies that there ...

Discussion Questions on Clinical Nursing

1. The cephalosporins are a family of bactericidal antibiotics structurally related to penicillin which were first derived from the fungus, Cephalosporum acremonium. 

Cephalosporins are the most frequently prescribed class for antibiotics (eMedexpert, 2011). This class’ mode of action is similar to other beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephamycins. Every form of bacteria cell has a certain cell wall for protection. Cephalosporins disrupt the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, which makes the bacteria cell walls break down and the bacteria eventually die (eMedexpert, 2011). One intravenous (IV) drug under this class is cefazolin. For adults, dosage for ...

Computer networks and the internet have drastically changed the way we live and conduct business. Businesses conduct operations through vast computer networks and servers. Citizens have also embraced this new way of life by simply having all our lives pegged on the internet. Therefore the web provides a channel of communication and exchanging of crucial information. Currently, the internet is the leading channel for doing business and hence today employers allow their employees to work from home through their home computers and other hand held devices such as iPads. Additionally, the advent of ecommerce has ensured that common citizens can ...

The SQL injection (SQLi) is one of the most common threats to contemporary computer security. It is also one of the most successful threats because it is easy to execute and moderately hard to detect and prevent, so the success rates are high and the damaged caused by the attack is severe. Furthermore, there are no tools that can accurately detect and stop specific SQLi attacks, so developers are required to analyze the source code and resort to code-based defense strategies if they want to prevent unauthorized access to data. In the worst case scenario, an attacker can take ...

Computer networks and the internet have radically altered the way we live and conduct business. Integrated information systems based on vast networks make up the center of operation for current business environments and governmental operations. Governments such as the United States and Canada hold sensitive information about its citizens in such computer networks. Businesses rely on networks in order to perform business transactions that use electronic transfer of money in a new business paradigm referred to as E-commerce. However, as these systems are efficient and effective in management, they present the most vulnerable systems to security breaches.
