The issue of the pollution of the environment has been an issue that has always been addressed in different forums. This is mainly due to the fact that the continuous pollution makes the world less inhabitable for man. Pollution may be on different components of the earth; from water, to air to the ground itself. Various mechanisms have been developed as a way of ensuring that we are able to conserve the environment (Shaw 14). These may include measures like ensuring that the citizens use biodegradable products in order to prevent the instances of soil pollution, or ensuring that ...

I visited the zoo last month, on a windy afternoon. It was an absolutely fantastic day, amongst different faunae, and a supremely knowledgeable experience. The long hours spent on studying the animals has been absolutely worth it, and the four animals that I chose to write this essay on are the Lion, the Giraffe, the Crocodile, and the Ostrich. The Lion, or the Panthera Leo, usuallya lives in groups called prides. One pride may consist of 15 to 50 lions. The pact that a pride has is to hunt for food, raise cubs, as well as fight against any ...

Introduction

In the novel one hundred years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez tells the history of the Buendia family, which is the founding family of Macondo town. For many years, the town had remained secluded from the rest of the world with the only visitors it received being the gypsies who were peddlers. Moreover, José Arcadio Buendía, who was the head of this family, had impulsive personality, inquisitive, and always alienated himself from most men. In correspondence, most of his descendants inherited his character traits. After some years, the previously innocent village began creating numerous ties with other towns. ...

Part 1.

These paintings come from a ten-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with a fairly severe cause of autism. He has to have someone sitting next to him if he is going to make art. He was supplied with a variety of sponges and paint to make patterns. Their repetitive nature comes from the fact that if you do not prompt him in a different direction, he keeps doing the same thing over and over. When I look at the paintings at lower left, lower right and upper right, I am somewhat surprised that this is only a ten-year-old making ...

The universe is so large that scientists believe that there are over two billion galaxies glimmering throughout space. Earth calls one very special galaxy home and that galaxy is the Milky Way. Many city dwellers don’t get to see the Milky Way and some children have never seen it at all because of urbanization and light pollution. But, once those nasty, artificial night light polluters are gone, one can see the very end of the galaxies spiraling tail. This essay will cover a few interesting facts about the Milky Way and how modern society effects populations around the ...

Introduction

Even though the concept of evolution is a typical narrative, it remains one of the most highly contentious of the topics. Major disagreements persist in the field, particularly when the evolutionary origin and physical modification of primates are the subject matter of discussion. Because of these differences, lots of significant finds in the field have attracted considerable amounts of opposition from experts depending on the species, or the side angle of evolution one recognizes (Ravosa and Dagosto). Disputes often center around locomotion and posture – whether a particular species was fully upright or could walk bipedally, brain size (intelligence), sexuality ...

William Kentridge (South African artist)

William Kentridge is a famous South African artist who draws and erases with charcoal. What is interesting about him is that he records his compositions at each stage and creates a video projection of the re-worked source drawings. This makes his aesthetic concerns linked intimately with the descriptive power of his work. There is a palpable tension in his quiet works because of the brutality of the content. Kentridge shows his concerns of post-Apartheid South Africa with an unparalleled lyricism in his compositions 1. Kentridge is a filmmaker and sculptor too and has been heavily involved in theatre. One ...

Sphinx of King Senwosret is dated back to 1878–1840 B.C. and is from Upper Egypt, belonging to the Middle Kingdom period. The Sphinx makes an imposing structure with its impressive mane and sturdy posture, guardians against evil. Lions have been associated with royalty even since prehistoric times. It was discovered in Thebes and is made of the block of grained anorthosite gneiss from Nubian quarries 1. Modern historical science divides Egyptian dynasties as the Old Kingdom, the New Kingdom and the Late Period that are separated by Intermediate Periods. Senusret III is one of the best-demonstrated kings of ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...

Abstract

A lot of demerits are associated with sexual selection in certain animals. Top of the list is the fact that this process has led to the development of certain characteristics which are costly to the carrier even to the point of increased chances of death by predation. This review however weighs the advantages derived from this process of sexual selection against this major argument and tries to point out that the benefits (individual and population benefits) derived from the development of these structures compensates for the cost incurred by its presence.

Introduction

Sexual selection is a special kind of natural ...

Business analysis for Uber and Nike

Introduction Nike and Uber have undoubtedly been incredibly successful in recent years. Uber in particular has been wildly successful as a result of the technological developments that have occurred in the age of the smartphone; however, Nike’s rise can also be attributed, at least in part, to the technological boom that has occurred since the 1990s. Marketing, branding, and engagement in coherent advertising strategy has been incredibly important for Nike over the years as well (Goldman and Papson). Nike and Uber have vastly different products, and it stands to reason that their marketing strategy and business plans would ...

Immunogenic cell death: the role of SAGE

Immunogenic cell death: the role of SAGE

Introduction

Millions of cells are always being removed in the human body not only to regulate and coordinate the body’s biochemical pathways but also to keep the cells healthy. This particular systematic removal of cells occurs through a selective mechanism called cell death or apoptosis process. Apoptosis is not a new concept in the understanding of the biological workings of the body. This homeostatic death of body cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many [1]. However, new discoveries have unearthed the existence of a different concept ...

An overview of the double-tail trait in betta fish

Double tail Betta fish is a larger fish than the single tailed fish where it has a double width of the body. Its body thickness usually supports the enormous fins (Lasantha, n.d). They are known as Double Tailed Male (DTM) and Double Tailed Female (DTF).The double tail Bettas are generated by a mutant gene which causes the tail fin to be divided into two lobes(Hargrove & Hargrove, 1999). The tremendous enlarged dorsal fin produced by the mutation is a secondary characteristic (Amy, 2015).

How it is inherited

The double tail trait gene is usually intermediary inherited. A betta fish whether single tail ...

The match was important for both teams, as neither has had a recent win and each is struggling to capture a place in the league playoffs. I chose to watch an English soccer match for two reasons: 1) I know enough about ...

Introduction

In an environment of growing cost of higher education, there is an intuitive need for students to determine if such their educational investments can be reliably expected to provide them better lifelong earnings. In order to obtain the necessary information on higher education earnings outcomes, a simple literature review of at least three peer-reviewed research articles has been conducted with a focus on the impact of higher education on wage premiums. Learning about the impact of higher education on wage outcomes is of high importance due to the growing investments today on education, as evidenced by the surging trend ...

Immunogenic Cell Death: The Role of RAGE

Introduction Millions of cells are always being removed in the human bodyin order to regulate biological pathways and keep cells healthy through a particular mechanism called cell death or apoptosis. Through apoptosis, such homeostatic death of cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many years [1]. However, during the past few years, scientists have discovered the occurrence of a different concept of cell death – immunogenic cell death (ICD), where the death of a cell stimulates a response from the immune system against antigens of a dead cell, and this mechanism of cell death may ...

Influence of Music during Exercise

Introduction The influence of music of athletic performance has been an enduring debate since the first publication on the influence of music n sports performance. The debate on the influence of music on sports performance came to even sharper focus after the organizers of the New York Marathon banned music in the 2007 event. This action was met with resistance by the participants, most of which flouted the ban at the risk of disqualification. This and other similar actions beg the question as to what role music plays in sports performance. Scholars such as Karageorghis & Terry (1997, p.6) have ...

Binomial distribution

When do we use the binomial distribution? The binomial distribution is very useful when there are very many trials conducted in an experiment, say n, and we want to get the probability of finding success where each number of successes has a given probability of occurrence. The probability of success is denoted by p while that of failure is the complement, i.e. (1-p) (Collani & Dräger, 2011). The binomial distribution gives some of the probabilities that are associated with repeated Bernoulli independent trials.

Characteristics of binomial distribution

For a binomial experiment, an action is repeated several definite number of times The condition for ...

The term fluid intelligence refers to the capacity to think logically and solve problems in unique situations, independent of acquired knowledge (Kalat, 2013). It involves the ability to identify patterns and the relationships that underpin unusual problems and to infer these findings logically. The concepts of fluid intelligence were demonstrated in the intelligence test taken. Examples of items that measured fluid intelligence are: Which one of the five designs makes the best comparison? (Standardized IQ Test, n.d.) Which one of the five designs makes the best comparison? (Standardized IQ Test, n.d.) Crystallized intelligence, on the other hand, is defined ...

1.Identify three uses for a frequency distribution. Epidemiologists use a variety of methods to summarize data. One fundamental method is the frequency distribution. The frequency distribution is a table, which displays how many people fall into each category of a variable such as age, income level, or disease status. Epidemiologists examine factors/variables that are predictors for health outcomes; they also observe patterns of distribution of illness, disability and health-related outcomes (Woodward 10). Among values in statistical data, there may be a presence of repetition within the data set; this is referred to as the frequency of that variable. The ...

Thus, the VaR seeks to establish quantitatively the ...

Gene expression refers to the mechanism by which information from a gene directs the synthesis of proteins. This process is utilized by eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Gene expression involves various steps. These includes; transcription and translation. The central dogma indicates the flow of genetic information from the Deoxyribonucleic Acid to Ribonucleic Acid and synthesis of the required protein.

Transcription is the production Ribonucleic Acid copies of Deoxyribonucleic acids in the nucleus. The DNA consists of two anti parallel complementary strands, each having 5’ and 3’ ends. The strands serve as a template strand for the production of an RNA transcript. The ...

Question 1

Jupiter was the first giant planet formed.

Question 2

According to the Nice theory where did the Kuiper belt objects and Oort cloud objects come from?

Kuiper belt objects come from the out edge of Solar System where huge spheres made of rock and ice that circle around Pluto’s orbit. The objects took their name from Gerard Kuiper who suggested that comets may come from the Kuiper belt. This group of planetoids is called Kuiper belt objects (KBO). The first KBO named “1991 QB1” was discovered in 1992. The plant Pluto also belongs to the group of KBO. Some ...

1.Jupiter was the first. Giant lies just beyond the frost line. As the frost line accumulated great amounts of water via evaporation from infalling icy material, it created a zone of lower pressure that increased the speed of orbiting dust particles and halted their motion toward the Sun. As a result , the frost line acted as a barrier whice lead material to accumulate. This excess material coalesced into a huge embryo of around 10 Earth masses, which then began to grow rapidly by swallowing hydrogen from the surrounding disc, reaching 150 Earth masses in only another 1000 years and finally topping out at ...

The black box is a flight or aircraft data recorder. It mainly collects and gathers the flight parameters information and stores them as evidence in the case of a plane crash. It is a technology that each and every corporate jet or commercial airplane should be equipped with.

Origin of the Technology.

The technology was discovered in Australia by Dr. David Warren. The technology began in 1952. Warren worked on the information and built up of the black box in Aeronautical research laboratories, in Melbourne. He argued that it was necessary for recording all the aircraft crew discussion. His view was to help trace the cause ...

Not everybody knows what does the term “Surrealism” mean, what it consists of and what it`s appealing to. This art movement has always been associated with something unclear and mysterious; there has always been a riddle within the strange images and colors that were asking you to solve it and find your personal meaning of it. The genre wasn`t always popular among the masses, and the surrealists weren`t as well; however, the one among the other was always famous and well-known through all over the world, he has produced more than 1,500 works including paintings, movies, ...

Executive Summary

Saddle point approximation implementation and derivations have typically relied on tools such as Edgeworth expansions, exponential tilting, complex integration, Hermite polynomials, and other advanced notions. Saddle point approximations are very important tools used in obtaining accurate expressions for distribution functions and densities. It has been a very valuable tool in asymptotic analysis. Since the seminal paper by Daniels (1954), several techniques of accurate approximations that rely on the saddle point approximation on one way or another have been developed. The saddle point approximations, however, derived its concept from the game theory, which involved two suspected criminals under police investigations. The ...

A glider is defined as heavier than air aircraft supported in the air by dynamic air reactions against its lifting surfaces. Normally, its free flight does not depend on an engine. Most of the gliders do not have engine, though the motor gliders have engines meant for extending their flight when requires and some are powerful allowing them to take off. Because of their specialized use, gliders are quite different from powered airplanes. This is made obvious by several characteristics. One is the completely different arrangement of the landing gear, a result of the lightweight of the aircraft and the ...

Dante’s Inferno is replete with symbolism. Inferno is a comprehensive, overarching allegory and Dante uses symbols throughout to explore the different themes such as violence, fraud, evil, God’s justice, immortality and more. Some of the symbols that Dante employs are simple and easy to understand such as the beast Geryon (with the head of a man and the body of a serpent, it symbolizes deceit) while others involve biblical and other classical references (the fall of Satan). Divine Comedy on the whole symbolizes the spiritual quest of man. Dante also uses symbols as an allusion to the sins that men ...

The origins of the Sphinx was derived from Egyptian, Persian and Greek Mythologies. A sphinx is a mythical beast with a body of a lion and a human head. In Greek mythology, it is portrayed as a winged beast who preys upon humans who cannot answer its riddles (Pinch, 206). Early Persians also believed that the Sphinx was a guardian deity whose mission was to protect the royal Persian Gods (British Museum, n.p.). Meanwhile, the Egyptians also built a sphinx of their own. The Great Sphinx located in Giza, Egypt had been buried in the sands for hundreds of years not until the early 19th century ...

Introduction

Cells are independent units of life. However, when a cell becomes part of an organism, it becomes part of a tissue and organ system. Cells in a tissue are joined to each other and to the extracellular matrix (ECM) by cell junctions. There are three kinds of cell junctions: Occluding junctions, anchoring junctions and communication junctions. Occluding junctions occur in the epithelium where the adjacent cells are so tightly sealed together that even small molecules cannot pass. Communicating junctions allow the exchange of chemical and electrical signals between cells. Anchoring junctions are the ones which attach a cell either to its neighbor or ...

Science states that human beings evolved from the ape- like creatures. Charles Darwin, the proponent of the evolution theory states in his book that there is fossil evidence that show the resemblance in these ancestors and present day human beings. Then one wonders why humans do not have tails, or better still, why some humans develop tail- like structures. Science has it that over time, all living things change and adapt to that change in a way that suits their living environment at any particular time. It is not surprising to state that in the next fifteen million years, human ...

Microbiology laboratory report

Abstract Bacteriophages are intracellular parasitic viruses that infect bacteria to carry out their multiplication. During the lytic infection cycles, phages lyse the host cells forming a clear zone called plaque on the agar media. The experiment is aimed to measure the number of plaques created when the virus T4 infects the host bacteria and their genetic material integrates into the genetic material of the host cell. This happens because the E.coli becomes resistant to T4 bacteriophage. The T4 phage was diluted in a test tube and then E.coli bacteria was added in the tubes. The mixture was poured with soft ...

Question 1

Social engineering can be defined as the non-technical way in which intrusion to information systems can be broken into with the use of human interaction and tricks that are more of social than technical. Social engineering is a common means in which virus developers will try to break into a system. Social engineering will try to trick the computer user to give some information that will give a hint to the social engineer to break into the system. The social engineer will try to play what is referred to as a con game which is a way in which they will gain the ...

SIX PERSPECTIVES OF ANALYZING AN IMAGE

Images are visual illustrations that transfer the set of information through visual communication. Analysis of the transferred information is pertinent to understand the message that is conveyed. The images can be understood by strong analysis of the six perspectives (Chen, 1999). The same image might reflect different ideas for different people. This is because people apply different perspectives, when they observe images.

Personal Perspective

Personal perspective of analyzing images occurs when the viewer perceives the image by incurring his personal thoughts or opinions. It is challenging to transform someone’s opinion or perspective about the image. The personal though about the image ...

What we accept as knowledge today is not always accepted as true tomorrow. Knowledge is more than a collection of facts on a particular topic. That is just information. Knowledge includes the assumption of a greater understanding as to how the facts work together. This means establishing connections between the facts, establishing meaning, providing evidence, considering the implications and arriving at a level of knowledge with a reasonable degree of certainty. This allows the assemblage of a body of knowledge that can be viewed from different perspectives and provides insight into a topic and how it fits into the greater world around it. This makes knowledge ...

Introduction

The term lipids is used to refer to a group of organic compounds that are naturally occurring and that are all soluble in non-organic solvents such as benzene , chloroform, acetone and ether but not soluble in water. The later characteristic means that lipids can also be defined as amphiphilic or hydrophobic small modules. This amphophilic nature of lipids essentially allows them to be able to form structures such as liposome’s, vesicles or membranes when subjected to aqueous environments. The biological lipids mainly originate from two major build-blocks or biochemical sub-units: isoprene and ketoacyl groups. Another distinct characteristic of lipids ...

This type of a building wind forces and the resulting motions in the upper chamber of the building become some of the factors that call for a major concern in the construction of the building. Engineers had to make an extensive research programs in wind tunnels in the Rowan, Williams, Davies and Erwin (RWDI) 2.4 ×1.9 meter, and 4.9 × 2.4 meter boundary layer wind tunnels in Guelph, Ontario. In the wind tunnel program, it includes pedestrian wind environment ...

A flying aircraft requires some control. The control can be delivered by a human or a computer. In this case, a computer is much safer, faster and reliable in controlling a flying an aircraft than a human being. A Stability Augmentation System manages the control surfaces of an aircraft and alters their movement as necessary to make the aircraft more stable at all times. SAS is used to eliminate unfavorable effects such as short period oscillations, Phugoid oscillations, Dutch rolls and spiral modes. Stability Augmentation system together with a rate control system constitutes a flight management system. Rate control system manage the pilots demand for movement ...

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a malignant cancer that originates from cancerous cells in the pancreas. It has been estimated that 90-95% of pancreatic cancers are adenocarcinomas that originate from the exocrine part of the pancreatic tissue. Adenocarcinomas (ductal pancreatic cancer) are tumors that exhibit glandular architecture when observed under a light microscope. Pancreatic carcinoma accounts for fourth highest occurrence of cancer related deaths in the United States. The prognosis for the various stages of pancreatic cancer is poor with an estimated 25% survival rate for a person diagnosed with stage 1, while only 5-6% survival rate estimated for a stage 5 diagnosis according ...

Introduction

The Hindenburg disaster is recorded in history as a spaceship that was involved in a crash marking the end of their use in air travel. This scientific design had marked one of the largest space travel aircraft. No such a large aircraft had been used for space travel before. This involved building a craft that was lighter than air and one that used hydrogen gas for propulsion. However, the crash of this aircraft created controversy including marking the end of their use in air travel. May, 1937 marked the day of the accident in which the Hindenburg aircraft arrived at the air station ...

The Appalachian Mountains can be seen to be a barrier and divide between developed and rural America. The people who live in the region are certainly steeped in past rural traditions and are stuck in their lot with not much hope for improvement. Since the settlements and towns here are cut off from the regional towns and cities in West Virginia such as Wheeling and Charleston, they are also in a sense detached from reality. In the short documentary, The Hollow we can observe this sense of detachment and as such the society here is deviant from the norms which we ...
