1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

My school mates used to call me “Slow Light”, as they mocked me for not being fast enough in sprinting. Every time our Sports Teacher would get us out in the school yard for sprinting I was very nervous, because I knew that I would get the worst score. Nobody likes being the last, and for me it was especially difficult since the boys in my class had very good scores, while I was far behind most of them, which inspired them to make fun of my running abilities. Each time it was my turn to sprint, I used ...

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting. Even so, diagnosis of hypoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury is essential in providing guidance on decisions of treatment. Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Mild forgetfulness is common in many people as they age. However, memory loss, especially with younger individuals, can be a sign of a more serious problem called amnesia. This condition is defined as the “inability to recall information that is stored in memory” (Nordqvist). Often times, people with amnesia are depicted in contemporary movies, such as Lucy from the film 50 First Dates. However, the stories of people with amnesia is not as easy and funny as it seems. In order to get a better understanding of this disorder, it is imperative to take a look at ...

We might not think of it as a problem, but how many times a day do you take your phone to text your friend? Texting can be easily turned from a habit into an addiction without noticing. In “The Joy of Texting”, Lynne Truss states that texting is a “sneaky form of communication”, and it can both simplify and complicate your life. It seems to be more popular among the youth and more preferable than conversations on the phone and, perhaps, even engaging in a face-to-face conversation. Texting is able to make communication much easier among users, because it ...

Question 1: Maximum number of people handled per hour

The current framework can be said to be limited in terms of the number of applicants that are handled by the six clerks in the renewal process at the department of motor vehicles. This is based on the limitation of time being the variable that the quality depends on for operations. In fact, the current performance in terms of licenses process is way below the recommended one by the regional director. Identifying with a single license renewal, the time that one will take to go through the quality checking process can be totaled up by the sum of the ...

Abstract

The question of memory has been an interesting one in psychology for some time. Brown-Peterson hypothesized that distraction tasks have a role to play in how well our memory works, and that this can be measured by a simple task. This research uses a modified version of their experiment to assess their hypothesis. The task involves memorizing a three letter trigram and then taking part in a backwards counting task that was designed as a distractor. 112 participants took part in this experiment. They were asked to complete twenty control trials in which they had to continue counting backwards ...

Question #8

Angular momentum refers to the resistance of a rotating body to change its spin rate or direction of spin. Angular momentum can be determined by the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity, or by the cross product of the moment arm and the product of the mass and velocity vector of the body (Sellers 2004, 112-113). For this particular problem, we will use the latter to determine the angular momentum. H=R×mV H=0.5 m×0.25 kg2 ms H=0.25 kg∙m2s Since angular momentum is conserved, the angular momentum of the system every point in time ...
