The attacks on America on September 11th, 2001 represented the largest loss of American life in a non-military related event in the course of American history (“Remembering 9/11,” ...

Smart water networks take advantage of real time data, pumps and other essential distribution points to automate the process control schedules and support real time operations decisions. It is well understood that the drivers for smart water networks is not resistible. There is a compelling need to develop smart water and energy efficient systems that are at par with the rising demand and the diminishing water resources.

Abstract

Present day climatic change is the direct result of human influences, which have so far crossed the bounds of variations of natural. The true source of global climatic change is man-induced alteration in atmosphere’s composition. These issues result mainly from emissions associated with uses of energy resources, more or less due to local and regional scales. Urbanization and changes in land use are also an important aspect. Though progress has been made in techniques of monitoring and understanding climatic change, there are still quite a many scientific, technical and institutional obstacles for precise planning to adapt to and mitigate ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was first characterized by Alois Alzheimer in 1907. It involves a gradual, progressive and irreversible dementia affecting cognition as well as behavior. It is perhaps the most common cause of dementia accounting for more than 60% of cases of late-life cognitive dysfunction. The etiology of AD is not known and, unfortunately, pharmacological interventions neither cure nor arrest the pathophysiology. Neuropathologically, AD destroys the neurons in the cortex, basal forebrain, amygdala, hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are commonly seen in this disease; however, the exact cause is yet to be determined. By the ...

Admissibility of the statement made by Martin to Justice

One of the rights protected under the Fifth Amendment is the right against self incrimination or the right to remain silent (Fireside, 1998).

Accordingly, a statement obtained from a suspect in violation of this right is not admissible in court, and may be suppressed. However, a statement made voluntarily without any coercion is not protected under the amendment, regardless of how incriminating or ruinous it may be. This was established in United States v. Washington. The court further ...

Entry One: When I Am Old, I Shall Wear Purple

The first thing I thought of when I considered the idea of aging issues was a poem by Jenny Joseph, who wrote Warning, the first lines of which are, “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple/ With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me” (Sachteleben 2009). Joseph was born in 1932 in England composed this ode to being elderly in 1961. Although she grew up in a different generation, Joseph’s poem still resonates. In some ways, there is a certain freedom for the elderly. Many people spend their younger lives trying to do the right thing, ...

The Unforgivable Sin

What is unforgivable sin? Jesus gives an answer to this question in Mathew 12 and Mark 3. The Pharisees claimed that Jesus cast out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons. He knew what they were thinking and for that reason, he stated the unforgivable sin as that of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. “For this reason I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven” (Mathew 12:31). The Pharisees refused to acknowledge Jesus as the messiah; instead, they chose to speak falsely ...

There is usually a thin line when determining between legal and ethical issues. In marketing, the strategies used are mostly informed by legal and ethical considerations. The same is true when considering product safety and intellectual property. This means that there is a close relationship between law and ethics; however, it is the existence of the law that makes ethical values enforceable. In general, therefore, ethics are those values or rules of conduct that are created so as to guide a particular group of people while legality is something that pertains to the law. Ethics, in other words, should be contemplated within ...
