Mediocristan tends to favor the weak by making sure that the total is not determined by a single instance whereas, in Extremistan a person gets the full due of what they are supposed to get.

The Mars Climate Orbiter: A Multimillion Dollar Mistake

The Story Grossman (1999) addresses the incident of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter in her article named “Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission”. She explains how a simple unit conversion mistake caused the Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere. The vessel costed NASA a whopping $125 million when it vanished into the Martian atmosphere. The problem, later identified by a NASA review board, owed to a software glitch. The software was used to calculate the thrust in “pounds of force” while the other software took the input in “newtons”. This happened due to the fact that ...

Information can be represented through various ways; scientists have undertaken research studies and experiments and published their findings in different scientific journals or databases. Similarly, individuals with little or no scientific knowledge have developed an interest in research. They have increasingly adapted and interpreted scientific research articles so as to meet the demands of the layman. In this paper, a comparative analysis of a scientific research article and its adaptation is presented so as to determine the difference in the ways in which information is presented in each. The scientific article Cashew apple juice supplementation enhanced fat utilization during ...

The number of people on the planet continues to increase and with them, the need for more and more nutritious food grows. For that reason, scientists seek research to genetically change plants and animals to provide medicine, good, and organisms not for consumption. As the public is exposed to information on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), strong opinions are forged concerning the safety of eating them. Questions arise over the risks presented to human beings and the environment, if GMOs are really necessary to supply the world with adequate amounts of food, if there are alternatives, and what surrounding ethical ...

Introduction

Control systems are not complete without the installation of actuators. Actuators are the mechanisms which are used by the control system to achieve a process or a function. They are responsible for the motion or control mechanisms which are used by the control system to accomplish their defined operations of functions. Actuators are used to convert the electrical signal from the control system to mechanical movement or motion which then accomplished a desired task or function (Bart et al., 2013).There are different types of actuators used in control systems. The type of actuators used in control systems depend ...

Introduction

The issue of genetic modification of animals and plants have been heatedly debated upon in both public and scientific discourses. As technologies become more advance, people begin to largely alter, rather than depend, on their environment.

One the other hand, the alteration of environment disrupts ecological processes that may endanger human, animal and plant life, and the issue of scarcity of resources are increasing becoming visible as humans use more and more raw materials.

Creation Myths: A Comparison

Creation myths are common to nearly every religion in the world. They tell the story of how the Earth, or creatures of the Earth, including man, was created. They are considered myths because they are based on beliefs rather than verifiable proof.

The Arapaho Creation Myth is an earth diver myth that includes some ex nihilo creation. In this myth, the Earth is deluged with water and a man has been walking around for days trying to ...

The media categorizes everyone into certain cultural groups based upon what they consume. Consumer behavior, whether it be in the form of products and/or media content, determine how the media views our consumption patterns, and determines which cultural group we belong to. However, our self-perception may not always match the profile of our cultural-consumption. In my case, I think that my self-perception, with a few notable exceptions, was gauged poorly by my cultural-consumption profile. First, my gender is male, and my consumption behavior is vague with respect to gender preferences for certain products. For example, my list shows that ...

1. What is the Boss up against in relation to Bartleby? What does Bartleby represent? Who are the major players in the story? What do we know about them? Are they likable? Sympathetic? Realistic?

A Comparison between UK and India

Abstract

Stress has been part of human life ever since the beginning of mankind. Initially, people stressed themselves out hunting for food, finding places to rest, and inexplicability of natural phenomena. With the globalisation of industries and the presence of multinational companies all over the world, organizations may need to consider adopting certain policies to match up to other similar organizations. Stress in organisations has become a major issue in the UK and most organisations now have policies and procedures to help employees avoid this and interventions are often in place to support them.

The advantages of top-down approach to engineering problems A top-down approach is also known as the stepwise design and in most some cases; it is used as a synonym of decomposition. It is essentially the breaking down of a system in order to gain insights into its compositional and elemental sub-systems or sub-groups. In this approach, a brief or detailed overview of the system is formulated and specifying but does not detail any of the first-level sub-systems. Each sub-system is then defined and refined in yet greater detail, and sometimes in many additional sub-system levels, till the entire specification is reduced ...

Genetic engineering is a boon to the food sector. Plants and animals are genetically modified (GM) to increase the yield, make them disease or pest tolerant and ensure nutritious food is available to all. There may be a chance for the introduced genes to pass through the food to the consumer but any harm it can cause can only be judged based on the food’s toxic or allergic properties. Unless direct evidence linking negative health impact to consumption of GM food is available, GM foods need not be prohibited. Companies have the moral duty to inform consumers about any food ...

Black Boys and underachievement: Myth or Reality?

Introduction Since the decade of the 1960s, the families of black Caribbean boys have been particularly concerned about the academic performance of their children. The reason for this is due to an apparent gap between these Afro-Caribbean children and other students, especially white ones (National Union of Teachers | NUT | The Teachers' Union, 2007). Today, their scholastic success at the attainment at General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) remains well below the national average. In 2006, 44.9 percent of these children gained five good GCSEs or their equal compared to 57.3 percent of white students (DfES, 2007). The figures ...

Genetically modified food ranks among the top debatable themes in the contemporary times globally. Reality is the fact that no single species would survive in a single locality on its own for a long time something that translates to the fact that biodiversity brings multiplicity. It is that multiplicity that enables the ecosystem to continue to remain productive as well as healthy as it was meant to be from creation times. That explains why it was held that biodiversity brings about the balance that is required to support life and anything that destroys biodiversity would be said to be destroying life ( ...
