Introduction

One of the most significant topics of the Middle East history that is considered to be Arab cultural awakening is undoubtedly Arab nationalism. On the one hand, it gathered strength and coherence during and after the First World War. On the other hand, little light is actually shed on that recent phenomenon. A lot of scholars may even get into a mess in defining Arabs, as well as determining what is meant by Arab nationalism. However, taking into consideration the fact that the twenty-first century is characterized by a considerable political activeness, much attention should be paid to Arabs ...

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Purple=dominant White=recessive 5) After looking at the punnett square and using the vocabulary terms above, why were all the offspring in the F1 generation showing the dominant characteristic? Each trait is being controlled by genes. There is one packet that comes from each parent. When TT is crossbred with tt plants, they produce Tt plants in the F1 generation. The F1 plants are all purple because the T allele is expressed in every offspring and it covered up the t allele. 6) Any time you have a capital letter in one or both alleles, the dominant form of the ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...

The American civil war in the West: Grant’s River War

Introduction The American Civil War is among the majorly discussed wars in the history of the United States. Ideally, Civil War is considered a central event in the U.S historical civilisation. While it is evident that the revolution that occurred in 1776-1783 facilitated the establishment of the United States, the American Civil War of 1861-1865 provided a suitable platform for the determination of the future of the United States (Doyle, 2014). Fundamentally, it offered the solutions to two major questions initially created by the revolution, and these included whether the United States was going to be transformed into a ...

Readers went as far as cancelling their subscriptions to the magazine and numerous threatening mails started pouring in, addressed to the author and editorial staff of the magazine. Readers were also offended because many easily recognized their rural communities and the typical activities conducted in these places such ...

Introduction

Weighing machines have long been used for measuring weights of various objects. The basic principle behind weight measurement is balancing of force due to gravity of an object with some known standard. You could easily find weight of small objects by using standard weighing balances having pair of pans i.e. one carrying the object to be weighed and the other is used to put loads of known weights until machine is balanced. This method cannot be applied on large scales involving heavy machinery, vehicles, or even humans. Another traditional method of weighing involves balancing force of an object due ...

Introduction

In social research methods, inferential statistics has a core role to play in reaching the conclusion of the analysis. There are two types of analysis involved in a research study inferential statistics and the descriptive statistics. The amount of data gathered from different subject groups cannot solely help deduce the outcome and support of the hypothesis. Inferential statistics facilitates the researcher come up with a conclusion that goes beyond the immediate data. On the other hand, descriptive statistics enable the researcher to deduce information from the given group of data. This case study contributes to explain the various tests ...

Introduction

Modernism was born out of the instability caused by World War I. People began to question the foundations of authority, as well as their social and cultural traditions. This unease is brought not only by the war, but also the increasing developments in politics, economics and science (Wrenn, 2010), liberating many traditions and perspectives. It is marred by “the struggle for knowledgesenselessness and alienation” (Wrenn, 2010). Literature was not immune to these changes, thus the modernist literary movement emerged. Here we analyze Chopin’s The Story of the Hour and Hemingway’s The Cat in the Rain to look ...

Chi-square

The chi-square test is used to compare the theoretical and observed frequencies. The chi-square distribution is not symmetrical, as normal or t-distribution. The mean and standard deviation can be calculated for the normal, t-, and Poisson distribution. However, there is no need for these parameters in chi-square distribution. The significance levels are applied the same way as in other distributions. However, for chi-squared tests only one-tailed tests are applicable. Therefore, the calculated value is compared to the critical value for the right tail of the chi-distribution. The normal and t-distributions are applied only to numeric data, whereas the chi-squared ...

It is indeed a marvelous example of how great was the Ancient Greek thought. The book in which the Heron's formula is found is dated back to 60 AD, however, the Wiki page suggests that this formula was known by Archimedes, who lived two centuries before the book was published. The Mathisfun site offers a succinct explanation and history of the formula and also an interactive model where values for the triangle sides can be entered, and the triangle's area and angles will be automatically calculated. The angles, however, are found using the Law of Cosines and no proof ...

Abstract

Jade has been an important part of Chinese culture since Ancient times, when it was used to make various weapons and tools. The reason for this is because it is believed to have positive powers.
