The development of solar energy is based on a use of solar radiation for generation energy. Solar energy is the kinetic energy of the radiation (mainly light) formed by reactions in the solar interior. As its stocks are almost inexhaustible (astronomers counted that the Sun will “burn” some more millions of years), solar energy belongs to a renewable source of energy. In natural ecosystems, only a small part of the solar energy is absorbed by chlorophyll that contains in the leaves of plants and is used for photosynthesis, namely for the formation of organic matter from carbon dioxide and ...

Osteochondroma refers to non-cancerous tumors which develop during the childhood and adolescent phases of growth. They are abnormal growths in nature which usually form near the surface of a bone where growth plates are situated (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 2012). Growth plates are the areas in children where cartilaginous tissues are situated near the end of long bones. Osteochondroma develops in areas near these growth plates during the growth phase of children and when they attain maturity, the growth plates consolidate into concrete bones (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 2012). The commonest time when these growths occur is ...

This brief essay examines ethical considerations surrounding two military and politically-charged events, one in 1960 and the other in 1968. Ethical guidelines help military personnel find practical and professional ways to face moral challenges and dilemmas “to enable and motivate them to act professionally in the discharge of their professional obligations” (Cook & Syse, 2010, p. 119). The U-2 incident occurred as the U.S. was gathering data on Soviet missile sites.

Vascular System: The New Frontier in Cancer Research

Vascular System: The New Frontier in Cancer Research For the last 50 years, cancer treatment has been ruled by the fact that each type of tumor must be selected for specific cancer treatment. Thus, medics have concentrated in producing specific types of drugs for the treatment of certain types of cancer (1). The types of drugs used were specific to candidates affected. Nonetheless, cancer cells have high rate of mutation hence they are very unstable therefore some cells become resistant due to repeated drug use or exposure to chemotherapy. The high rate mutation causes the cells to be genetically ...

Introduction

The Falkland War of 1982 was an undeclared war between the United Kingdom and Argentina and lasted for about ten weeks.

In my third year of medicine school at Ross University on November 2008, I was intrigued by a class on open heart surgery of a patient suffering from myocardial infarction. The video documented of each step and explained the logic behind each incision of a heart vessel. This was intriguing to me as what attracted me was the mechanics of the cardiology system. It was like a complex wire system in a machine and an electrician was exploring each wire to find fault; except this time the electrician was a cardiologist. This was even better as the cardiologist was striving to also make sure that ...

Introduction

Ever since man discovered that wood could float in water, he has endeavored to build sophisticated vessels that would make sea travel as safe as possible. However, numerous centuries of innovation have not produced an entirely fool proof vessel. A total conquest of the sea is far from near. It is noteworthy to note in the same breath that sea transport is getting safer and faster, when contrasted against the situation within the last few decades (Abulafia). The pursuit for continual improvement in maritime transport has been sustained by the unending pace of globalization. While there has been a tremendous ...

There are many strange similarities between ancient texts of different cultures. Within these narratives, there are different trappings, but many of the stories remain eerily similar across cultural boundaries; within The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Old Testament of the Bible, for instance, there are a number of different stories that are remarkably similar. The story of Gilgamesh and the plant of eternal life is very similar to the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. However, perhaps the most similar of the stories contained within the Gilgamesh epic and the Old Testament of the Bible are ...

Concerning personal identity my position is similar to that of John Locke. I reject the idea that my personal identity is tied to my soul, as Cartesian theory suggested. I also do not believe that my personal identity is tied to my body. It seems more plausible to me that my personal identity is tethered to my memories because I am a culmination of my experiences. What I have endured, learned, and observed have made me into the person typing this. Memories are what have created my personal identity. My position on the mind and body problem, or that ...

Lipids are a group of structurally diverse hydrophobic compounds that are not very soluble in water. Cholesterol is a common lipid that can be obtained from the diet and is synthesized in most cells of the human body. It is a component of cell membranes, maintains membrane fluidity, and acts as the precursor of other important biological compounds such as steroid hormones and bile salts (Smith, Marks, and Lieberman 54, 163). High concentrations of cholesterol in the blood can cause accumulation of fatty deposits on arterial walls that can lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which are associated with heart ...

We die twice in this lifetime. The first death comes when the last breath leaves our body, when we shuffle free of the mortal coil. The next, and most important, is when all memory of us is gone, when we are no longer even an errant thought left to float on the breeze. That is undoubtedly the worst death, the one that is lasting and cannot ever be rescinded. To be remembered by those who knew of one’s acts, their life, and their deeds, is a type of immortality that is likely the closest that humankind will ever come ...

Throughout history, the ruling classes have normally offered protection to the areas of their jurisdiction. These rulers usually have the false hope of controlling their territory forever; thus they build harmonious relationships with the people they rule so that these people can protect them from external attacks. To achieve such a relationship between the ruler and his subjects, the rulers would occasionally instill fear into their warriors’ minds. The other way of building this relationship was through cultivating respect between them; the rulers and the subjects. In an Anglo-Saxon work like “Beowulf”, comitatus refers to the relationship created between the ...

Creating a cover page design for a book is not an easy task. According to Forster (2012, p. 1), the cover design of the book determines how people will perceive its content. In other words, it is the first thing the people will look at in order to judge the content of the book. Being such, the cover page of a book is the common dictating factor of whether the book will have high sales or not. As a writer and publisher of a book, therefore, one must always step into the shoes of the readers and imagine what will the latter feel or ...

Sunshine Skyway Bridge Disaster of 1980 – An Engineering Failure

Highway bridges on navigable waterways are at risk from vessel collision. Since they are primarily built to let vessels pass through, design considerations should include the probability of a major collision of its structural members from a passing vessel. There are several factors why vessels may come in contact with a bridge’s structural member. The deviation of a vessel from its path may be caused either by human error, mechanical error or may result because of adverse environmental conditions. Indeed, the collision of M/V Summit Venture with the pier of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was due to poor vision because of a “ ...
