Essays on Volume

Organization is a unity that some people create to reach their objectives, however, the founders of organization cannot control everything. There are some stakeholders who affect organization or get affected by organization. Organization and its stakeholders live in an environment. In this environment, organization has three dimensions: 1) Contextual dimension, 2) System design dimension, and 3) Effectiveness dimension. Organization should take these dimensions into consideration during its planning process (McLarney 2003, p.423). There are two main approaches of managing organization: planned and emergent approaches. Both analytical/planned and emergent approaches have pros and cons. Organization has some resources and uses ...

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains the key technology for more complex cardiac operations. Despite tremendous progress since its introduction into clinical practice, CPB is still far from perfect and hence continuous efforts to study and improve hemocompatibilityof both conduct and components of CPB are crucial. The problem is cardiac surgery in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass in its current form restricts the patient to exit the hospital in 5-7 days. We know that conventional standard bypass triggers the release of inflammatory mediator which elongates patient’s length of stay. The Pinnacle System tricks red blood cells, platelets, proteins and inflammatory mediators ...

Abstract

The experiment aimed at explaining the interaction of the molecules at different pressure, temperature and volumes. At low temperatures, the volume of the gas was low while at high temperatures, the volume of gas increased. The experiment successfully determined the value of absolute temperature using the Charles’s Law as 202.75OC which was lower than the theoretical value. The experiment also successfully verified the Boyle’s Law. The interaction of temperature and the volume of the fluid can be concluded to be directly proportional with an increase in temperature leading to increase in volume. On the other hand, the ...

Abstract

The experiment aimed at monitoring the change in volume of a gas in a confined container as the pressure on the gas was being increase. The experiment successfully demonstrated that volume decreases as the pressure on gas is increased.

Introduction

Boyle’s Law involves the relationship that exists between volume and pressure of an ideal gas, assuming that the mass and temperature of the gas is held constant. The law is stated that for a fixed ideal gas amount kept at a fixed temperature, pressure (P) and volume (V) are inversely proportional. This means that when one parameter is increased, the other one decreases. ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

Introduction

Osmosis refers to the net water movement across a membrane, which is selectively permeable and the movement is driven by a difference in the concentration of the solutes on the opposite sides of the membrane. A selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through without allowing ions or solute molecules to pass through. Other small molecules that are not charged are also allowed to pass through the membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, refers to the movement of molecules in a random motion as a result of the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to have a net movement from areas where the particles ...

Abstract

The hippocampus is a part of the limbic system found in the temporal lobe. Hippocampal neurogenesis, the ability of the hippocampus to generate/produce new neurons all through to adulthood, has been linked to emotion moderation, spatial navigation, learning, memory, and cognitive function. These functions are usually impaired in depression and anxiety and hence the speculations that hippocampal neurogenesis plays a critical role in the etiology, pathophysiology and even the treatment depression and anxiety. The hippocampal neurogenesis hypothesis attempts to explain the role of hippocampal neurogenesis in the development of depression and anxiety based on findings from various studies. Findings that neurogenesis ...

INTRODUCTION

Inflation has been described by economics in various ways. A simple description of this condition is a reduction in the value of money of a country. An underlying cause of this is imbalance between the quantity of goods and services and the volume of money in circulation in an economy. Increased volume of money in circulation with respect to the goods in the economy causes inflation. Hyperinflation is considered an extreme case of inflation. Many economists only regard it hyperinflation when the rate of inflation is at least 50% per month or 1000% per annum. Most hyperinflations are caused by ...
