The smartest person the author ever knew, a true scientist with PhDs in Physics and Mathematics, said something very profound once: “if it has ‘science’ in its title, it isn’t (Minnick).” This applies to the “dismal science” of economics. The problem with any social “science” is that it deals with human beings and using human beings in experiments is impossible. To be sure, actuaries can predict the actions of groups or demographic segments with a reasonable confidence. Individuals, however, are notoriously unpredictable. We are left, then, with observations which are converted into “laws.” Chief among these laws in ...

Wealth Maximization

Wealth maximization is a modern business concept where the organizations evaluate their capabilities, shortcomings, and best possible outcomes to maximize their stockholder wealth component. This is usually considered as the goal of modern businesses (Roe, 2001). But wealth maximization is not essentially synonymous with profit maximization where the short term benefits becomes the primary target than long term achievements. Clearly, unlike profit maximization, wealth maximization is not a continuous process, especially in the case of a single business. It is possible that the company may run into a saturation level beyond which its expansion might become extremely difficult. For ...

Stone Formation in the Kidney/ Role of Citrate in the Kidneys

Kidney stones are calcified or solidified molecules taking place in the upper urinary tract and the kidney. Kidney stones are usually composed of calcium as oxalate, phosphate, or carbonate. Stone formation in the kidney happens when the amount of mineral salts in the urine becomes saturated, during which the mineral will automatically crystallize (Rao et al., 2011). Stone formation is further facilitated by increasing amount of calcium in urine and dehydration. High levels of calcium in urine can indicate kidney disorder, prolonged incapacitation, hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid, excessive intake of milk or aluminum and vitamin D. Stone formation in ...

Article Summary

First, Perry explores what is noted as "the visual image of black women in hip-hop [over the last 20 years and] how this has rapidly deteriorated" (p.296). It seems as though at the turn of the 20th century, hip-hop started down a path that it has not been able to proverbially recover from. This is due in part to the fact that misogynist perspectives have been on the rise for a number of years, and the genre has only served to highlight the disturbing dynamics associated with this conception. Perry notes that "this use of black women in the ...

1. What is the underlying mechanism of M.A.'s asthma? What are the three airway responses that occur during an asthma episode?

An autoimmune response to allergens from cats and plants is the underlying mechanism for the patient’s condition. These allergens, though nonpathogenic, trigger an inflammatory cascade wherein lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells exert their effects on the respiratory tract (Linzer 87). As an example, B lymphocytes synthesize immunoglobulin E which helps signal the release of histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin and cytokines which are proteins that promote vasodilation and hyperactivity in mucus-producing goblet cells (Murdoch & Lloyd 27). Prostaglandin causes the smooth muscles in the airway to constrict. Along with vasodilation and increased mucus production, bronchial constriction ...

Part I: Nonparametric Methods

A sign test is a nonparametric method used in statistics for comparison of a single sample with a hypothesized value.
