Essays on Protection

The term “Patents” came into existence as a legal mechanism created for the protection of the ‘intellectual capital’. It aims to protect inventor’s ideas from getting into the hands of others without appropriate permission or compensation (Bell 2013). This idea of patenting came up as a result of the early recognition that many inventors do not have the means to produce, develop, or even implement their invention at the time it was conceived. There is, therefore, a need for some protection that would encourage the inventors to aggressively pursue their ideas without someone else stealing it and thereby Continue reading...

Introduction

More often citizens look at the government as the all-powerful, and able to meet all the challenges faced by the state. The fact is that there are numerous issues that the government has to grapple with and sometimes it is the individual citizen or groups of citizens who take the initiative to remedy the shortfall. The bureaucracy, and in part the enormous challenges that the government has to face on a daily basis may require that individuals take the leading role in certain social issues. For the purpose of this paper, and having considered the direct role played by Continue reading...

Body Armour Thesis:Texts for: Introduction, Rationale, Conclusion

Body Armour Thesis

Body armour has traditionally been designed with the principal purpose ofto provide providing protection for the wearer against sharp objects and ballistic threats. A ballistic ballistic-resistant fabric stops projectile penetration by reducing energy transfer to the body upon impact, i.e. the fabric flattens the bullet and diffuses its energy [1]. On the other hand, stab stab-resistant fabric should resist pointed/sharp object penetration and slash. However, the point surface of a knife tip, ice pick or syringe needle is much smaller than that of a bullet and remains the same size as it passes through a fabric. Continue reading...

The article in question here discusses the risk of date rape on college and university campuses. Because protection motivation theory proposes that people have a few priorities regarding their personal health and wellness-- that people consider the potential occurrence of an event, their vulnerability to an event, self-efficacy and the effectiveness of preventative behavior-- all these things must be considered when considering implementing protection motivation theory.
This article talks about the relationships that exist between “dating activity, social competency, and type of information provided with the dependents variables of date rape related protection behavior (intent), belief, and knowledge” (Singh Continue reading...

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) international activities to work with other countries, in terms of increasing landfill gas projects for GHG reduction and power generation, has launched efforts in a series of press releases in announcing various correlated projects and partnerships.

Contraception is a controversial issue in today’s society, especially when dealing with children and sex education. When two people consent to a sexual relationship, they must each bear the responsibility for protecting themselves. It is not right for one party to bear the sole responsibility of the actions of two people.
Both parties have to be responsible for their own bodies and should take measures to protect themselves, not just from pregnancies, but also from sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s). These are from my personal beliefs, my upbringing and research. According to McClellan (2011), “partners who share the Continue reading...

Literature Review:

In order to recognize the right of people to seek asylum from persecution in another country, the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees was introduced in order to determine refugee rights, state responsibility and refugee protection.

Other experts argued that the Convention should be retained due to the possibility of revitalizing the reform and the Continue reading...

As part of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, the Environmental Protection Agency created the categorization of Superfund sites. As a federal program, the aim is to identify sites in the United States that have been abandoned and are deemed to have significant amounts of hazardous waste, primarily in the form of water or soil contamination. As a result, the EPA has funds for such clean-up efforts. As noted on the EPA website clean-up is complex and involves assessment, placement on the national priorities list, establishing a plan, and implementing a plan (EPA, 2014a). The Continue reading...

My impression is that the effort of USA towards the protection of the environment is not a bad thing, but it should be carried out in moderation. There are many people who accuse the environmental regulations for negatively impacting on the US economy. These people assume that efforts to protect the environment incur large costs. These costs need to be well defined so that people may stop making assumptions, and dismissing the idea of protecting the environment.
The money spent in protecting the environment is worth if the benefits outweighs the costs. Protection of the environment is a good Continue reading...

Lab Report

Objective: To explore the characteristics of three single-phase transformers in a three-phase configuration.
Figure 1: Lab 1, Diagram.
- Star- Star (Y-Y) Connection
In star- star or Y-Y connection, each phase is 120° out of period with the extra two periods. In the same way, each secondary winding is 120° out of phase with the other two phases. Every primary winding is magnetically connected with secondary winding using the common leg. When talking about primary to secondary phases we will see that there is no phase difference in primary-secondary connections. It simplifies that both, primary and derived are in-phase Continue reading...

There are varied chemicals that impact people’s lives. We do not know the exact amount of chemicals affecting daily activities, people’s behavior and health condition. A classmate in my business course told me that her mother uses homemade cleaning products. When asked why, she said that she has asthma and regular cleaning products instigate an asthma attack. Although not everyone has this kind of problem, the consumption or use of products with chemical ingredients are acknowledged to be hazardous to health. As such, green living has actively been promoted as the solution. I believe when people choose Continue reading...

Children are often viewed more as a parental property. However, the state will Continue reading...

Article Review: Being Green at Ben and Jerry’s

The environment, i.e. climate change, has become a serious concern in the world. It is an issue that both citizens and legislators want to address. People make many attempts to contribute to and help in the conservation and protection of the environment. This is particularly true with regard to the consumption of gasoline and other fossil fuel.

The article, “Being Green at Ben and Jerry’s” written in 2002 by George Will, is a criticism of both the government’s and environmentalists’ efforts with regard to their environmental advocacy. These efforts seem to be mainly lip-service and “feel-good” activities Continue reading...

1.1 Introduction
In typical industrial applications, the machines and equipment involved require high electrical ratings, like high voltages and high currents. Different machineries have varying voltage and current ratings. These ratings should be followed in order that the equipment operates properly whenever needed. However, undesirable conditions, like voltages and currents above the prescribed ratings (usually called as faults), are not totally unavoidable. In these conditions, damages on the machinery might occur which can cause production issues and problems, and may even be hazardous to humans. These conditions can be avoided by integrating protective circuitry within the electrical systems.
Two Continue reading...
