Essays on Inversion

Wilde in his debut performance, “in the importance of Being Earnest” invokes the use of language in representing different language choices and the dramatic techniques. In all these careful language choices and manifestations, Wilde maintains the high level of wit and satire in portraying his protagonist and the antagonist. This is a summary of how Wilde employs the use of language in this work. The first motif, and an apparent language constructs that Wilde applies is the inversion of the gender roles and relationships between his major protagonists. This fact is manifest in an encounter between Jack and Gwendolen, ...

DeMorgan’s Theorem is one of the most important transformation rules in digital electronics. It is a pair of transformation rules which could be applied in propositional logic and are both valid for rules of inference. It was named after its developer Augustus De Morgan who is a British Mathematician. The simplest way to define DeMorgan’s Theorem is that the logical expressions remains unchanged when the inversion bar of the expression is broken and the operation is changed to its opposite. DeMorgan’s Theorem come about in order to simplify logical expressions in mathematics. It was influenced by ...

There is no simple definition of bisexuality because bisexual people are a very diverse group. Some of them tend to monogamous relationship, others may have more than one partner. There are several theories about the different models of bisexual behavior. Thus, there are 13 types of bisexuality based on the sexual desires and experiences. According to Flanders and Hatfield, alternating bisexuals may first have a sexual relationship with a man, and then can choose a woman, and then again return to men. Bisexual on the circumstances are mainly heterosexual, but can choose a partner of the same sex only in those situations where there ...

Abstract This paper examines the air pollution problem in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Heavy pollution in the city has become a concern because of the increasing cases of health problems. Many babies are being born with defects in vital organs, pregnant women are miscarrying and the level of respiratory disease cases has risen. Although burning of coal in homes, during winter, causes pollution other sources of pollution contribute as well. The high altitude and the mountains surrounding Ulaanbaatar worsen pollution in the city. In winter, the Siberian anticyclone causes the city to have temperature inversion and high pressure, which do not ...

People tend to feel good when they have established a daily routine, and a life in general, which complies with the rules of the community they belong, their morals, and personal beliefs. It is perhaps the safety provided to them by the entire societal structure around them that makes them not willing to accept anything “out of the ordinary”, when ordinary is what they have baptized as normal, based on all the aforementioned. With this in mind, being homosexual was definitely something a community could not easily accept. Having sexual drives with a particular focus on same-sex relationships was something unconceivable until very ...

Kate Chopin was born in Missouri and she has represented the rebellious spirit of her era. She led an unconventional lifestyle, which was depicted in all her writings and was the kind of woman who dared to stand up for her true beliefs and ideas. According to her biographers and literary critics, ‘Kate Chopin’s writing style was a result of her passionate love for the writing style of Guy de Maupassant.’(1996, Le Marquand). Chopin was influenced by Guy de Maupassant who wrote about people’s everyday lives, but she went a step forward. She created her own unique way ...

AIR POLLUTION

Public Policy Issue: Air Pollution Since ancient times, man has struggled to find clever ideas to make life easier for the sake of progress. The struggle proved fruitful, leading to the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the 17th century and the establishment of industrialized capitals that continue to grow across the globe. Man’s continuous struggle for development is not without consequence. Populations themselves continue to grow, most notably near industrialized areas and highly urbanized areas. In the highly urbanized areas, it is affected by pollutants caused by the by-products of industrialization (outdoor air pollution) and consumer ...

The article’s central ethical issue revolves around debates on whether or not company inversions can be termed unethical. Inversion depicts the act of one company carrying out business dealings with other countries in a bid to take advantage of possible low tax rates. Through inversion, a company merges itself with business already existing in low tax rate countries and records high profits as the government takes a small percentage of the same. The arguments on the taxation of multinational companies emerge in the form of how companies decide on the amount of tax for each country. First, countries impose corporate ...

A merger in the simplest and most basic sense refers to the aspect where two or more independent business entities combine together to form a single venture. There are several reasons that lead or make firm and companies to merge and form single entities. One of the most common reasons is for the companies to merge so that they could increase they market share and power, so that they would increase their monopoly and strength in the market. In other instances, firm merge so that they could evade the rigorous tax regimes and systems that would, on the contrary, hurt a ...

Introduction

This term paper explores the issue of weather affecting pollution in major cities. In a major city, where there can be a higher proportion of pollution sources in a relatively small geographical area, the effects are likely to be more distinct and concentrated. Whilst there are several causes of air pollution, it is known that the air quality at any given time can be affected by the prevailing weather conditions. For example, strong winds can rapidly transport pollutants released into the air great distances from the originating source. Conversely, in conditions when there is very light wind or in still air, the ...

Introduction

Tax inversion is the art of merging a US based company with a foreign company in order to reduce on the amount of tax that a company is liable to. Tax inversion can also be said to be the process by which a parent company in US merge with another company from low-tax economy in order to benefit from this low tax regime. The main aim of tax inversion is to reduce on the amount that the US Company pays to the government. Corporates within the US pay up to thirty-five percent of their total profits as tax wages to the government, therefore, ...

Introduction

Connotation and denotation are two major methods used to describe the meanings of words. Connotations refer to the wide variety of negative and positive relationships that words can carry with them naturally. It is the imaginative and emotional association that the word carries. Denotation is the exact or literal meaning or definition of a given word that can be found in an English dictionary. Connotation in simple terms is a representation of the various cultural implications, social overtones, , and emotional meanings carried by a sign. Some things differently invoke associations in a person’s mind. If different people are subjected to the same ...

Introduction

In his Streichquartett, Beethoven takes motivic material generated in Theme Groups 1 and 2 of the sonata exposition, and expounds upon them in the different transitional sections of the piece. By utilizing these distinct motives in different textural and harmonic contexts, Beethoven creates a strong sense of unity within the piece as a whole, while also designing a unique identity for each section. The plan of this paper is first to identify the different areas where Beethoven borrows the motivic material and thus make explanations of the differences in existence as follows: Structural, harmonic and textural. The paper takes a vital interest on ...

Esteemed literary critic Vladimir Propp, in his essay "Fairy Tale Transformations," breaks down the essence of the fairy tale into a series of elements and functions, all linked inexorably to religious practices found in past traditions. According to Propp, fairy tales are an amalgam of the functions and roles of religion and culture in various societies; the tropes of fairy tales are reflections of these customs. These functions all exist in some form or another in the vast majority of fairy tales, allowing Propp to organize and codify the structures and natures of fairy tales. "We observe that the actors ...

Abstract

In this condition, which affects one in every 8,500 people the chest and/or abdominal organs have their position inverted on the saggital plane, constituting a perfect mirror image. The relations between the organs are the same, so normally it won’t bring any harm to the patient with such condition. The onset of the situs inversus begins in the embryonic stage, when the tubular structure that will be the heart forms its loop. However, there are situations of heart defects associated with this condition (or of other organs) and such represent much more severe risks for the patient. ...

Versus “The Necklace” James Thurber’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and Guy de Maupassant’s “The Necklace” are two significant stories that portray alternate gender roles and the means to cope with those roles. James Thurber’s piece describe a man in the not so common feminine role, while Guy de Maupassant’s piece describes a woman in the usual feminine role. The stories were created in different historical periods, in various states of the relationships and in completely different settings. While the characters of these pieces experience different fates and the stories’ plots have dissimilar endings, some ...

Seismic Surveying: The Cost-Benefits of Carrying out 3D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Delineation and 4D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Management

Introduction

Many oil and gas companies regardless of their size, whether small or large, have heavily put reliance on 3-D seismic data to effectively and accurately delineate fields and thus discover new reserves. A 3-D survey has turned out to be more effective than a 2-D survey in exploration project. In a 3-D survey, one is able to study the structures and composition of the various layers underneath and therefore, being able to put on the correct gadgets to work. ...

Phenylketonuria

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) performs an enzymatic function during the conversion of phenylalanine (abbreviated Phe), to tyrosine. Existing naturally in several types of foods, for instance breast milk, Phe is an essential α-amino acid and one of the plethora of amino acids used in the formation of proteins. Phenylalanine exists in three forms; L-phenylalanine, D-phenylalanine (mirror image of L-phenylalanine), and DL-phenylalanine which is a typic combination of D and L-phenylalanine, and unlike D and L- phenylalanine, is not found in foods. On the other hand, tyrosine, a part from being a derivative of phenylalanine, is a non-essential amino acid that forms part of the ...

Imaging protocols plays an important role in both patient's management and research purposes. Major imaging systems in medical practice include: radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine (Scintigraphy, PET and SPECT), photo acoustic imaging, breast thermography, tomography and ultrasound. Most of those imaging systems play a significant role in providing a form of non-invasive diagnostic and treatment protocols. This article reviews a type of magnetic resonance imaging known as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). MRI is a radiological investigative technique for visualizing detailed internal structures. It allows for the production of detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. Exposing the patient to radio waves in a ...

“Dualism and the Arguments against Neuroscientific Progress” by P.S. Churchland

In the introduction Dr. Churchland makes the case that the use of reductive explanation is appropriate. She is using a neuroscience framework to further explore ideas of mental phenomena. She explains that the words used in macrobiology can be used when explaining microbiology even though the meanings change. This is done throughout the various scientific disciplines and is no big deal. (pp. 21-23) She discusses nine arguments against nueroscientific progress for explaining consciousness. (1) I can’t imagine how science could explain awareness. > Not knowing something is not a valid argument for proving something does not exist. It is a ...

Introduction

This report is about the design of a two-way crossover laud speakers. The major task is the building of the circuit diagram. In the design, I have ensured that the 12dB crossover follows the Linkwitz-Riley alignment. This is achieved through the use of a sub-Bessel filter whose Q is 0.5 instead of the common Butterworth alignment resulting from a Q of 0.707. At the crossover frequency, the Butterworth crossovers have a 3dB peak. This is the main problem of such crossovers. This problem occurs when the outputs are acoustically or electrically summed. With a filter whose Q is 0.5, the signal is ...

Abstract

Elements of manipulation are strategic/sophisticated voting, and agenda setting. Strategic voting results into the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem (Gibbard) which is about a specific kind of decision mechanism for social choice functions--a function that specifies for each combination for possible preference orderings. The theorem states that “for any non- dictatorial and non-imposed social choice function, there is vulnerability to manipulation.” This means that expressing one’s true preferences is not a dominant strategy always; rather, there are preference profiles where at least one of the individuals has an incentive not to express his/her ‘true’ preferences. Also, it can be stated that the only ...
