Maps can be very instrumental in the description of a given geographical period. The most interesting thing about this description is that it is seemingly limitless. This means that maps can be used to describe a wide range of factors that exist in a given geographical zone for example population or the structure of the land in terms of topography and the general outline of the structures of the land if they are natural or manmade. Thus maps are very instrumental as far as the description of a given place is concerned. The following essay focuses on a map ...

“There is a general consensus that ‘community’ is good” (Barke and MacFarlane 1). While this argument may seem simple, the context behind the statement is deceptively complex. Community, in the hands of varied leaders and planners has distinctly different meanings (1). The single element that combines each of these interpretations is the positive perception of community being the opposite of individualism. Social, religious and construction groups employ an entirely different interpretation of the meaning of community, indicating that there is much more to be considered than a simple boundary drawn on a map.
Communities as a term began as ...

Introduction

In 1852, Francis Guthrie was discussing with his brother Frederick the coloring of a map. He discovered the fact that he could color the map of England counties with the use of only four colors. He used the colors in such a way that each division had a single color and two segments sharing a common boundary had different colors. Thus, the four color problem was born and the question arose whether in a plane map, four colors were sufficient to denote the divisions of adjacent regions sharing the same boundary, without using the same colors.

The map about Eurovision titled, “532 From Sliceland to Baku: Extreme Geographics of Eurovision 2012” is a good one. The first thing that made me chuckle is the title. Instead of “extreme sports” they say “extreme geographics.” I like the way the writer has a way of writing a light, fun piece about the map.

The map is interesting, too. Europe used to be so small. Now the European Union is welcoming a lot of new countries into the union. This map of the European Union includes both the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. The south eastern part ...

1. The FEMA mapping homepage supports multiple resources including mapping and engineering tools and MIP web services. Nonetheless, the website is inherently difficult to navigate hence is not user-friendly. In terms of data, key emphasis is on flood risk assessment with the recently initiated Risk map building on the flood hazard data. The risk map homepage still focuses flood hazard data which, as FEMA acknowledges, forms the basis of risk assessment. Clicking on the map viewer, it is evident that only a map indicating the risk of floods in the United States and territories appears, rather than a comprehensive ...

Thermodynamics of Refrigeration

In the olden days winter was the best time of the year for cold drinks, sorbets and ice creams because ice was readily available. Without a thorough understanding of thermodynamics our communities might have to be brought their ice in an ice wagon just like in the olden days. The laws of thermodynamics were developed by scientists and used when processes of the Industrial Revolution were developed. The physics of heat transfer are applied in order to transfer heat away from the portion of a refrigerator or air conditioning that needs to continually cool the air. ...

The cDNA that was used in the experiment is the transfer tRNA. The coding region refers to the gene portion (DNA or RNA) that has axons in it and they code proteins. It’s also known as the coding sequence or the coding DNA sequence. The coding region sequence is surrounded near the 5th end of the start codon and the 3rd end with a stop codon. Therefore, the total addition of the genome of a living thing consists of the gene coding regions. The identification of the cDNA coding region sequence is not straight forward because the existing ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is ...
