According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in every ten children born in America is affected by preterm birth. The term preterm is used to refer to babies who are born before the normal thirty-seven weeks gestation period. Preterm births are classified based on the gestation age. Babies born less that twenty-seven weeks or the gestation period are categorized as extremely preterm. Very Preterm babies are those born between twenty seven weeks and thirty-two weeks while moderate to late preterms are born between thirty-two ...

Are Pit Bulls A Threat or Family Friendly

Dogs are often times called man’s best friends as they tend to get along well with humans. They can be very gently and friendly as well as loving and caring. Other times the same species can attack, create mishaps and reek havoc in a person’s life. Pit Bulls are descendants of the Bull dog or Bull Terrier. Over a hundred years ago they were known to work on farms and help with herding bulls but they still had a gentleness about them. They were later on used in the homes to comfort children as they are known ...

Introduction

There are a number of ways by which the media forms communicate with their audience and tend to convey the underlying themes and ideas using them. Specifically, in the case of films, the use of visual content, sound, construction of a shot and it’s editing, performance, recording, etc. It is obvious that an effective use of visuals aided by supporting multimedia always results in a deeper impact on the audience as the visual has a deeper response generation from the brain. This concept, when strategically used in the making of films results in tremendous changes in terms of ...

Introduction

It is customary for the non-native speakers to substitute the correct pronunciation of the words with their versions of vowels and consonants. There are patterns of pronunciation of words in every language and it is believed that the non-native speakers utilize their habitual pronunciation of the new language. These patterns in language may persist at different levels. Some of the non-native speakers tend to learn new language faster, the others retain the traces of native language in their patterns of pronunciation through the years. This may root in different factors, such as the duration of practice in new language, ...

Question 1

The Order Coleoptera (commonly known as beetles) may be subdivided into a numerous number of families. Four of these families include Anthicidae, Dytiscidae (also known as Predaceous Diving Beetles), Haliplidae and Hydraenidae.

Question 2

The Haliplidae are a family of crawling beetles which consists of approximately 200 species making up 6 genera. They are normally 2-4.5 mm in length and have a width of 1.45-2.5 mm. The beetles are oval ion shape and are yellowish in color. They have a slight head inclination with eyes that are not very protuberant. They have short antennae which have 11 divisions each. Their mandibular prosthecae are very well ...

For a long time, Australopithecus afarensis was considered as the earliest known bipedal hominid. This made this species, which was dated to have existed around 3.5 million years ago, the oldest member of the human clan. However, the discovery of the species, Australopithecus anamensis pushed the age of the bipedal hominids further back by around 600000 years (Tomasik, 2002).

History of the Discovery of Australopithecus anamensis

In 1965, the first fossilized specimen of A. anamensis was discovered by a research team from the Harvard University in the Kanapoi region that lies on the west of Lake Turkana in Kenya. Although at that time the fossil, which was a humerus ...

Introduction

The great white shark is found in all major oceans around the world and is also known as the great white or white death. The great white shark belongs to the species of lamniform shark and are widely distributed all over the globe. The taxonomic name for white shark is Carolus Linnaeus. White sharks are famous for their massive size and voracious eating habits. A mature male white shark could grow up to 6.5m in length. Researches have published work stating that great white sharks grow up to 8m in length. A mature white shark would weigh around 3, ...

Introduction

The study explored the homological characteristics of 22 species. The organisms were human, pygmy chimpanzee, common chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, white-handed gibbon, macaque (Cercopithecine monkey), horse, bison, cat, dog, bird, bat, frog, rattlesnake, alligator, fish, whale, wolf, pig, bacteria, and cow. The species were categorized as mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, or amphibians. However, humans and apes were further classified as primates. Moreover, the research sought to determine whether the species share characteristics that link them to a common ancestor. The research hypothesis was that if the evolutionary path of the 22 organisms were traced, then a common ancestor would be observed.

Abstract of the Tensile Test

Tensile tests are instrumental in understanding the properties of various materials and the way will behave when subjected to a load. Four different materials were subjected to tensile test using universal testing machine. The materials that were tested were: steel and nylon. The data obtained from each experiment was used to calculate and graphically determine some of the valuable properties of the materials such as, yield stress, ultimate tensile strength and young’s modulus. The material properties obtained from the various test were compared with the theoretical values and also amongst the materials themselves. The tensile test results showed that ...

Animal diversity Essay

Fruit bats vs Insect-eaters Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata Classs: Mammalia Order: chiroptera family: Craseonycteridae Class: Sarcopterygii, Family: (Phyllostomidae)-microbats, Family: (Pteropodidae) –megabats (Glantz & Scordato, 2005). Bats have been largely used by scientists and taxonomist to track the evolutionary changes among mammals over the years. A study on these animals has served to demonstrate the significant difference between the primitive forms of the mammalian tooth and skull structures. These modifications on various body forms also serve to show the ecological habits that these species occur characterized by nectar feeders, fruit eaters and carnivorous species each having a unique morphological ...

INTRODUCTION

If you have ever watched a movie on “mute,” then you know that movies, television, or web series are rather underwhelming without sound. Could you imagine “Star Wars” without its anthem coinciding with the rolling credits? Would anyone have been interested in Norman Bates without the score that identified the presence of his mother? Would Indiana Jones be more thrilling if he ran through hidden caverns over scored by a sad violin? Would the sweeping underwater scenes of the wreckage of the Titanic have been as haunting without the backdrop of a soft, sorrowful ballad accompanying the long lost images? The answer ...

For centuries, scientists have been trying to map the concept of fear. This emotion is eminent from birth until death. Sociologists believe that this fear is what molds the society and the individual. It is the fear of the unknown that has forced us to develop medicine. Fear, like every other emotion, is developed due to thought. If thoughts did not exist, then the feeling of fear would not have existed either. Once we understand what fear is derived from, we comprehend that it is our own imagination, and ...

The Jaw Log by Carl Gottlieb can be compared to a movie director guide. The making of The Jaw Log has a unique perspective of one of the chief players in the alliance that resulted to the Classic movie by Spielberg. The work by Gottlieb seems like a chaotic production and a writing process that has resulted to great changes from Peter Benchley's book. The movie book was initially released in 1975 and coincided with the films release. The work was later expanded for its twenty-fifth anniversaries and later released in a hardcover for the first time in its thirtieth anniversary where some footnotes ...

In the past years, movies marked as “based on real events” appear more often. Moreover, some of the researchers, as well as ordinary viewers claim that almost every movie is based on real events. The point is that sometimes directors as well as screen play writers tend to exaggerate the importance and cruelty of some events. In the most cases, it happens in horror movies or some documentaries. The point is that the main idea of every documentary is to convince people in something. This essay is devoted to the issue of veracity of the events in three movies: ...

The anatomy and physiology of the periodontium in humans will be described in details as regards to the relationship which exist between the natural dentition, jaws and the oral environment. Science has helped to explore different aspects of the tissues that make up the periodontium which are the gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. These structures all work together to make a strong supporting apparatus for the teeth that is either in function or in occlusion. The main other function of the periodontium apart from supporting the teeth is to protect and provide nourishment to the teeth. The tissues ...

Invertebrates are animal genus that lack or do not build up a spinal column. They account for the largest percent of all the living species. The first animals to have evolved were invertebrates. Data from fossils collection shows that invertebrates were there 600 million years ago. Some paleontologists propose that invertebrate animals emerged much earlier probably one billion years ago. Trace fossils such as burrows and tracks established in the Tonian age signify the presence of triploblastic worms approximately as large and complex as earthworms. Animals began diversifying at around 453 MYA, and many of the essential groups of invertebrates ...

Breed-specific legislation is the restriction of and legislation regarding certain breeds of dog, often dogs that are considered violent, dangerous, or erratic in their behaviors (Collier, 2006). Proponents of breed-specific legislation point out that there are certain types of dogs that are most frequently used in dogfighting rings, and that these dogs are more likely to be dangerous to the general public. However, research has shown repeatedly that this is not the case; breed-specific legislation and controls on the breeding of dogs (excluding dog-wild canine hybrids)is nothing more than a reactionary response to perceived social ills that have little ...

In the summer of 1974 a then 26 year old Steven Spielberg is going about his business of making sure that his movie about a shark that had overshot the expected $3.5 million budget does not sink his career in Hollywood. Everything that could go wrong had already gone wrong and it was hard to see the light at the end of this very dark tunnel. The movie he was making was Jaws, a movie that is today classed as a master piece in many circles and topping many greatest films lists while being one of the most commercially successful films in movie ...

A cladogram tree showing Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Haplorrhini, Hominoidea, Primates, and Strepsirrhini.

Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Haplorrhini, Hominoidea, Primata, and Strepsirrhini,. k Question 1 In the scientific classification, humans and apes; chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans are grouped in the same family “hominidae” while monkeys were earlier grouped in the family “Cebidae” but now in the family “Atelidae”. In accordance to scientific researches, human are said to be more closely related to chimpanzees than monkey; looking at their anatomy and genetics. Human evolution shows the evolutionary process that brought about the differences in appearance of the modern man and other hominids. Using genetics and anatomy, we can tell which of the two; ...

Physics is a part of natural science that entails study of matter and its movement around space, time and its relation to force and energy. Physics revolves around us in our day to day activities and without it; nothing can function or operate swiftly. Different significant contributions like understanding and advancements in electromagnetism have been fuelled by the unending knowledge of physics. Scientist widely depends on physics and its theories to calculate the probabilities of future natural phenomena activities that might place. For example, in weather forecasting, use of rain gauges to measure the amount of rainfall at given ...

A slave named Androcles once escaped from his master and fled to the forest. As he was wandering about there he came upon a Lion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee, but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back and went up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, which was all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a huge thorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulled out the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was ...

Tuorette syndrome is a condition that interferes with a person’s nervous system thereby causing tics. Tics are uncalled for movements, twitches, or sounds that individuals make distinctly from the majority. However, a person can have tics without necessarily having the Tuorette syndrome. Nevertheless, kids with Tuorette syndrome have tics. Tics have some resemblance with hiccups. People do not plan them and neither do they want them. They occur almost naturally. People always try tricks to stop hiccups, but can do nothing to stop the tics. Other tics also take the form of scratching an itch, the person does not really want ...

Introduction

An ape is a primate whose appearance resembles that human being. Apes have no tails and most of them lived in Africa and Eastern Asia. Of the great apes, the only existing ones are chimpanzees, orangutans, bonobos and gorillas. On the other hand, hominids are primates who move/walk on two limbs. They are members of the great apes. However, this definition may not suggest that all hominids including the first ones walked on two limbs. (Juan, Ignacio and Mauricio, 2006). Many paleoanthropologists believe that hominids are the immediate ancestors of the modern human beings. In many cases, it is hard ...

In the 1975horror movie Jaws, sound and music are just as much characters in the film as the titular shark; always in the background, present to convey the tension and sense of horror that the human characters feel as they defend the beaches of Amity Island from a giant killer shark. Because of the director's artistic choice to deliberately obscure the shark from view for most of the movie, much of the work is done by the sound and music (the score composed by John Williams). Many sound effects in particular contribute to a sense of reality, and a feeling of ...

Human beings are believed to have evolved from apes, nonhuman and human like forms. Genetically human beings are linked to have evolved from the great ape. The earliest fossils that are considered to be the remains of human beings are the genus of australopithecines which are dated 4 million years ago and from australopithecines now came the genus homo. Genus homo evolved from australopithecine ancestors. Creationists have argued that australopithecines belong to the genus homo because of the similarities they share with them. There are four ways in determining whether a fossil is of that of an australopithecine and not ...

Grace, a six years girl immigrated into Kenya from Rwanda in the year 1994 following the famous Rwanda genocide. He parents were butchered in front of her eyes and the only thing that saved her life was a hundred liters container in which she hid when her family was being slaughtered. After the incident, she tearfully and painfully left home without any specific destination, only to escape the jaws of death (rwandanstories.org/aftermath.html). She had already started schooling and the language that she had got used to was French (Wamitila, 2005).

After her arrival in Kenya one year later, she enrolled in a ...
