The Middle Ages, also termed as the Medieval Period is an era that lasted between 5th and 15th century. The downfall of the Western Roman Empire marked its beginning as they merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. It thus makes it the middle period of three ancient divisions of the Western history namely; the Antiquty, the Medieval period (divided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages), and the Modern Period. Each and every of these stages was characterized by different developments as well as the impact the development had in history (MEIER & MCGEOCH ...

No doubt, creation, annihilation and conservation in Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” provide a background for the exploration of the ruination and undoing of particular human attributes. “The Modern Prometheus,” the subtitle of Shelley’s novel further reinforces this notion. In fact, this notion is further reinforced by the fact that Shelley’s novel can be regarded as a modern version of the classic German legend of Faust. Shelley puts together the idea of the ruination of human attributes as a result of self-discovery as evidenced by Frankenstein, who claims that he has been blasted in hopes, and the same can be said ...

Introduction

Becoming a hero requires competence in what an individual attempts to do. One may lose the title of a hero simply because of their failure to accomplish the right things appropriately as desirable. A hero should develop the courage to face the difficulties presented by certain situations in their life. Based on the two stories in question, the characters fail to become heroes because they are defeated and do not face the situations, as they should. The paper focuses on proving that young Goodman brown and George Orwell fail to become heroes since they do not courageously face the challenging situations ...

(1) Identify eight to ten of these useful inventions or contributions.
The paper was identified to have been invented in 105 A.D.and revealed to have been credited to a certain Ts'ai-Lun, as the inventor. Although, historical documents alleged that the paper was discovered earlier, the attribute to Ts'ai-Lun was rationalized from his ability to show his invention to the Chinese emperor at the disclosed time frame .
The compass is another useful invention since it was attested to be crucial in navigating purposes in 1100 A.D. . It is useful, especially during the ancient times when no other instrument was ...

According to Thomas Kuhn, science normally progresses in four stages. The first stage is known as the Pre-Paradigm Science. This phase of scientific advancement is the science practice lacking a core set of methods or propositions. In this stage some the paradigms are somewhat vague and for that reason new observations can be accommodated since the indefinite form of the paradigm does not clearly define what are acceptable or unacceptable outcomes. Discovery takes place as an outcome of the more or less random observations made and employed to create a paradigm view that is more structured.
The second stage is ...

How were Uranus's rings discovered?

William Herschel was the first observer to mention that Uranus has a ring system in 1789. It was only a speculation since the astronomers that time could not observe any rings around Uranus. The discovery of the Uranian ring system was observed almost 200 years later by James Elliot, Edward, Dunham, and Douglas Mink in 1977. The discovery of the ring system of Uranus was only an accident when they grabbed the opportunity to observe the atmosphere of the planet using the occultation of the star SAO 158687. In their observations, they found out that the star suddenly disappeared for five ...

A telescope is a device that makes it possible to view distant and faint objects as though they were near (Telescope, 2009). The discovery of the telescope and subsequent improvement in technology has gone a long way to transforming the way we view the universe. Telescope helps in viewing distant planets, stars, and heavenly bodies. To understand the mechanisms of operation of a radio telescope, it is important to initiate by taking a look at its discovery as well as the events that potentially led to the discovery. The essay will take a look at how the discovery and improvement in telescope have transformed ...

Prior to the discovery of insulin, diabetes was dreaded as a disease leading to death. It was known that a rise in the sugar level in the body worsened the condition of diabetic individuals and that the sole treatment of diabetes known to people was to restrict the dietary intake of sugars (‘’The discovery of insulin”, n.d., para. 1).
During the nineteenth century, examination of patients who succumbed to diabetes revealed that the pancreas was damaged. In 1869, Paul Langerhans discovered that a group of cells called beta cells, whose function was unidentified, existed within the pancreatic tissue and were eventually ...

In the expansive novel, Cities of Salt, Mudun Al-Milh exemplifies the impact that the discovery of oil has had in the Arabian Peninsula. His outlook is not just limited to the impact on the human landscape in the Arabian Peninsula, but also the physical landscape. The authors take on the environment and the desert in Middle East compares the now and then; now being the period after the discovery of oil and arrival of American and English oil companies and then being the period of simplicity before this vital resource was discovered in the geographical region. From an environmental ...

With the numerous and rapid technological advancements that have been made in the late 20th century and 21st century, it sometimes becomes easy to get lost in the current realities as well as the future possibilities. Rarely do people stop to appreciate where things have come from, and when they do, it is usually more of resentment towards the inadequacies of the past. For many years, archaeologists have dug through remains with the aim of studying the human past. These are remains that include skeletons, objects that people could have made or used, and artifacts such as decorations, clothing ...

Freud’s discovery of psychoanalysis is a discussion that has been of great interest to me. Prior to this week, I had limited information concerning Freud. From my historical point of view, Freud was a neurologist who practiced his work effectively. He majored on the study of treatment of brain and nervous system. Upon his interaction with Charcot, he realized that the mind could have power over the body (Mc Grath 45). He made this observation as he interacted with Charcot’s patients. This marked Freud’s discovery of psychoanalysis theory.
There are important lessons, in relation to psychoanalysis, that ...

Felony Case Packet

One of the most essential aspects of a criminal case is the discovery or the information about the case including witness statements, police notes and evidence. From a prosecutor’s point of view, this is the necessary information that will be used to file an indictment and to try the case. On the other hand, for the defendant, this information is absolutely essential in order to fully understand their case and to prepare their arguments against the prosecutor’s charges.
Discovery can also describe the process by which information about the case is collected and disseminated between the state (police/prosecutors) ...

GlaxoSmithKline Case

Contrast and compare traditional Pharmaceutical R&D structures to the CEDD structure.
If we compare and contrast the traditional pharmaceutical R&D structures with the newly developed CEDD structure, we find that the new CEDD structure tried to increase the overall productivity rate of the pharmaceutical R&D structure; it tried to fill those gaps that were left open by the traditional R&D structures. If we analyze the major differences between the two setups, we can infer the following:
- The new CEDD structure that Mr. Yamada proposed was subdivided into six distinct “centre of excellence in drug discovery” centres. ...

There exists two distinct forms of discovery systems; the closed and the open discovery systems. In the open discovery system, the prosecution offers a wider array of information to the defence whereas in the closed discovery system, restrictive information is offered the defence (Ferdico, 2013). Based on a personal point of view, the open discovery system is the better approach to ensuring efficiency in the field of criminal justice. It is of essence to note that the open discovery system offers a wider array of information to the defence, which assures that the defence prepared adequately for the final trial. As a result, ...

While much has been hypothesized regarding discovery systems in the field of criminal justice, it is crucial to note that the discovery systems offer a platform in which parties involved in case proceedings share information regarding arguments and evidence to be out forward during trial. The prosecution is perhaps the major legal entity that is vested with the discovery information. Evidently, there exists two forms of discovery systems comprising of closed and open discovery systems. In the closed discovery system, restrictive information is offered the defence whereas in the open discovery system, the prosecution offers a wider array of information to ...

The first person pronoun, “I” has been repeated throughout the poem, which indicates Wordsworth’s personal involvement with the area surrounding him and how he was influenced by the nature. When reading this poem alone, readers cannot discern whether or not Wordsworth has portrayed the Abbey and the Wye Valley as it actually appeared in 1798 when he wrote this poem. It is reasonable to assume that he has depicted his version of the landscape, which perhaps a mixture of what he saw in the past and what he saw in 1798. He describes the valley as very peaceful, “Though ...

Introduction

There are many techniques that are being used today to examine the functionality of the human brain. Most of the current technologies emerged in early 1990s. Some of the technologies that are used for brain imaging include; computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), event-related potentials (ERPs) and magnetoncephalography (MEG). This paper will look at the history of these techniques used for brain imaging(Katz & Alexander 1994).
1895 – 1900 Early uses of brain imaging
The process of imaging human dieses started in 1895 following the discovery of Wilhelm Roentagen. He was a physicist that ...

On the eve of the European Age of Discovery (Age of Exploration), the transatlantic world was characterized with wars and competition among neighboring countries. There were constant wars between France, Portugal and Spain due to conflicts arising from the quest for control over territories. During this period, there was limited trade since the countries in the transatlantic world had almost similar resources and products and most of these products were consumed locally.
However, between the mid fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, a period called the Age of Discovery or the Age of Exploration, European sailors and ships left the coastal ...

Discovery of electricity started back in 1746, when Benjamin Franklin discovered static electricity when he was out flying his kite in a storm, but the electricity we use today is different from what he discovered. This was the discovery that nature has energy that man can use and it consequently set in motions the many other inventions that are the after effects of discovery of electricity.
After the discovery of electricity, technology started to advance this is because the world had also started becoming industrialized and there was need for a form of energy that was strong enough to help in ...

The expansions of the US both geographically or environmentally have been contributed by several factors. Amongst the factors that led to the expansion of the US are the 1849 California gold rush and the bowl dust in 1930s.
One of the most significant expansions of the US borders westward was the California gold rush. Before the discovery of the gold, the United States was beginning to take shape. With the purchase of Louisiana, the country was stretched all the way to the pacific and the conclusion of the Mexican American war in which California was ceded to the ...

Introduction

For many people, the issue of creation or evolution is not a scientific question. Often, the issue becomes an emotional-religious issue which many try to solve through dialogue instead of scientific investigation. Debate has continued to rage between evolution scientists and creationists on the origin of life. While the former hold the view that man has evolved over the years, the latter hold the view that man was created by God. However, analysis of fossil evidence reveals that life existed for more than a million years ago. While Charles Darwin was able to explain natural selection, there was not enough fossil ...

The three centuries of colonization of Brazil by the Portuguese empire led to Brazil adopting most of the cultural practices owned by the Portuguese. Among the cultural inheritance that Brazil acquired is their language, the Portuguese architectural styles and the christian predominant religion. However, after gaining independence, a sense of nationalism, which can be defined as the political or philosophical ideology that stresses on the welfare of a nation or state to be regarded paramount by its people, was adopted by the Brazilians. They eventually started experiencing a process of self-discovery both politically, economically and socially. Some of the cultural self-discovery that ...

The discovery of America is credited by most literatures to Columbus, the great adventurer whose roots is associated with Genoa, having sailed out from Spain on the consent of the King Ferdinand who was persuaded by his Queen Isabella to support the adventure, after releasing a great chunk of her treasure for the discovery to be made. However, latest revelations in the last decades give the credit to Icelandic Norsemen1 who is believed to have discovered America in 1000 AD.
The Norsemen of Iceland has not been regarded as the first discoverers of the New World, as America is ...

Self-Evaluation of Resource Material

Various book,online databases, and websites have different sources that effectively capture the socio-economic changes that took place between 1790-1860. One key idea that I have seen in these sources is the idea that the American society was taking its form at this time. This was the time that cultures from all over the world were finding their way into the United States. It is interesting to see that the business opportunities changed the organization of the family unit such that women were allowed to work in industries. I will be expounding on this in the body of the ...

The United States faced rapid socio-political and economic changes between 1790 and 1860. One thing that is worth noting is that the United Stated has had an original number of states. At the time of independence, there were on 13 states. However, by 1860, the 13 states had increased by almost three times adding up of about 33 states. The increase of states was partly caused by the fact the US population was growing steadily during this time. It is estimated, through various censuses conducted between 1790 and 1860 that the US population was increasing 2 times for every ...

With specific reference to at least three readings given, explain how the early modern period can be understood as an "invention" or "discovery" of the modern age?
The early modern period in the world’s history marks significant changes in culture, religion, worldview and people’s perception of themselves in the universe. Symbolically defined as the period between the fall of Constantinople in the late Middle Ages and the onset of the Age of Revolutions in the late eighteenth century, the early modern period is commonly described as the time of invention, the Age of Discovery and the Age ...

Scientific advancements are generally associated with Europe at a point in history when superstition, fear and absolute devout to religious beliefs got replaced with reasoning and knowledge. Up until a change in people’s view of the world started by the help of the great scientists of history, the whole of Europe and the then discovered world saw its habitation, the Earth, and everything happening in it with the eye of religion, mostly the teachings of the bible, so their values were basically world-denying. Great kings and kingdoms of that age ruled and governed majorly by biblical teachings and the church ...

Discovery of DNA Structure

Introduction
Discovery of DNA was a landmark period in science history that generated further tremendous discoveries. Thanking to this groundbreaking discovery, it was possible to explore the impact of genetic information on the diseases, behavior, and personality. While there are a lot of disputes around the link between DNA and personality features or the ability to create lively beings with the help of DNA mapping, the discovery of the double helix structure opened the doors to the unimaginable dimensions of scientific abilities. It is believed that DNA has been discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in the 1953, ...

Science is not the only way to discover truth. In this paper, I will explain how science attempts to uncover truth that is guided by reason and is based on knowledge that can be substantiated by empirical means. There are other ways to discover truth, but science is not concerned with these kind of truths.
Science attempts to figure things out by discovery. Discovering truth by empirical means is the cornerstone of scientific discovery. Even though no one saw the dark side of the moon until the Apollo missions of the 1960s, it is true that the moon ...

Introduction

The information provided by pharmacokinetics is important in the discovery of new drugs and in screening drug candidates. It helps in drug research and can determine the concentration of a drug present in the body. The discovery of new medicines not only depends on pharmacological activity but on pharmacokinetic parameters as well. Pharmacokinetics includes absorption, distribution, metabolism and execration (ADME). Absorption is the absorbing of a drug in the blood stream. There are two types of absorption, passive and active. The physico-chemical properties are responsible for passive transportation while the active transportation determines the binding of a molecule to the target site. ...

Three such important discoveries are revelation of structure of ribosomes through X-ray crystallography, identification of tumor specific antigens (TSA) expressed on the surface of cancer ...

Throughout my formative years in elementary, middle school, and high school; Galileo Galilei’s name became known in both history and science books as the man who developed the telescope. At first, I thought his invention of the telescope earned him the title “Father of Modern Astronomy” due to the telescope’s capacity to augment celestial bodies without any visual strain to the user. While my conviction to Galileo Galilei’s expertise remained firm as I entered tertiary years, the Dan Brown novel entitled “Angels and Demons” challenged my ideas over the Italian scientist. In the movie, Galileo was a ...

Islamic Culture

Islamic Culture
Islamic culture is interspersed with remarkable development across various verticals of civilization progress indicia, including, but not limited to science, philosophy, art and various streams of humanities. The reconciliation between science and Islam is historical in nature. As rightly pointed out in an online study published by the Oxford University Press authored by Professor Ibrahim Kalin; the holy Qur’an itself contains guidance for the faithful to investigate and conduct an intellectual enquiry about the world and various signs of God. To this end, Professor Ibhraim points out that the Holy Qur’an contains detailed reference ...

We live in times when the environment we exist in is more dynamic than it has ever been before. More innovations per unit time are seeing the light of day today than it had ever been in the times of the likes of Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. There is a possibility that a new discovery may be taking place right now in the most unorthodox place than the traditional laboratories. An invention may be taking place inside a students’ hostel, or accidentally somewhere in a farm. The interesting fact is that some of these discoveries are always building ...

Introduction

This paper contains an analysis of the arguments made in the book “New Worlds, Ancient Texts: The Power of Tradition and the Shock of Discovery” that was authored by Anthony Grafton. The book mainly discusses the contention that existed in the years between the 13th and 16th century as various scholars living at the time debated on whether to replace the traditional system of education that was been used then to a modern one. Before the onset of the 13th century, most educators and lecturers used old books of history to teach students who had enrolled in the different universities ...

Choosing the most appropriate business approach within a firm presents a very delicate process owing to the ever-transforming business world. Discovery-driven teams operate on the basis that business firm assumptions regarding business models are appropriately tested and stated (McGrath, 2010). Execution driven teams, on the other hand, incorporate the breaking down of strategies into objectives, hierarchically incorporating the objectives, evaluating the achievement of the laid down objectives, and excellent performance (Sull, Homkes, & Sull, 2015).
Discovery-driven planning calls for chronology in handling business ideas from their conception. The executive teams are expected to steer the business towards success by pursuing ...

Over the years, there has been a controversy about whether ancient sources give an accurate record of events as they happened during the Greek Bronze Age. To put matters to rest, several archaeologists have excavated some areas around ancient Greece and their discoveries suggest that the ancient records on the Bronze Age are not farfetched. From time immemorial, people have used stories, poems and other pieces of writing to preserve their most precious heritages. This has enabled generations after generations not only to gain an insight into the ancient Greece, but also other civilizations in the world as well. A ...

The book “New Worlds, Ancient Texts: The Power of Tradition and the Shock of Discovery” whose main author was Anthony Grafton, mainly discusses various arguments made concerning the validity of knowledge, facts and beliefs that existed between the 13th and 16th century.

The book consists of five chapters. In each chapter, Grafton explains how the emergence of new world scholars, brought about a sense of doubt and scrutiny among people, concerning the credibility of doctrines that had been written by the classical and ancient scholars who had lived in the years before the 13th century.
Throughout his book, Grafton ...

The Higgs Boson is a theoretical particle which particle physicists have been attempting to isolate in order to measure its physical properties, namely its mass. Called the “god particle” by popular media, the discovery of the Higgs boson would validate the Standard Model of electroweak symmetry as it is the only elementary particle not yet observed by experimental particle physicists. The Standard Model has defined the properties and characteristics of the Higgs boson with the exception its mass. The discovery of the Higgs particle would thus give validation to the existing theory of six elementary particles which make up the ...

The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment are best understood as conflicts between faith and reason. This statement is accurate because this time period began the separation of church and state and opened the floodgates for science to begin to become more important in society in the future. While it took some time for science and religion to completely separate, and it did not happen until much later, the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were extremely important because they created the conflict in the first place. While this time did not completely separate reason and faith, it began to encourage people ...

Social revolution refers to the restructuring of the complete configuration of society including the economic and industrial systems. Over the years, new technologies have immensely contributed to revolution in the social sphere in societies. Notably, four social revolutions have occurred in history as a result of introduction of new types of technologies. The technological improvements that were responsible for these social changes include: the introduction of irrigation machines for plants, the discovery of the plough machine, the discovery of the steam engine, and the discovery of the computer (White, 1964). The introduction of these new technologies impacted greatly on the ...

Dissimilarity

Dissimilarity is argued by Eckhardt in a rational and probably very intriguing manner. He argues that similar objects can also be dissimilar in many ways due to the fact that they are completely different states of being and states of mind.
Eckhart argues that dissimilarity can also be found in the psychological nearness or the actual proximity of two mental representations. This is quite similar to cognitive psychology in the sense that this is quite a similar approach to the concept of dissimilarity. Each of these issues is actually related to a particular set of assumptions which are better known as ...

Marie Curie's contribution to science cannot be overemphasized. Her work in Physics and Chemistry do not lose its relevance to this day, and, without her discoveries, it is not possible to imagine the study of radioactivity. And yet, her role in history is important not only because of the scientific achievements. The great importance of a time, when they were made, gives Marie Curie's breakthroughs so much significance: the time when women did not have the opportunity to study, not to mention the scientific activity. Dedication, perseverance, and faith in that she is doing the right things helped Marie ...

Introduction

The Ancient societies have been associated with certain remarkable discoveries that have had significant positive effects on the contemporary society (Lancaster et al 708). Most of these discoveries have influenced various aspects of development in the current generation. For instance, the discovery of medicine by certain ancient scholars has had positive influence on the manner in which medical services are provided by the current generation. Besides, discoveries made on engineering and architectural activities by ancient communities such as the Roman Empire are still being appreciated by a significant number of conventional development stakeholders.

Question One

The labor laws outlaw employee discrimination of any nature. It is illegal to practice any form of workplace discrimination. The action by the employer would be deemed unlawful. It can be explained by the theory of affirmative action. The Act outlawed any form of discrimination against any employees and job applicants because of sex. The employers should therefore not make any employment decisions on stereotypical and assumptive attitude. Presuming the ability, personalities, or the productivity of potential employees, on account of their sex is illegal.
The employer can be sued for violating the law. The principle of equality ...

Lander Project: Life on Jupiter’s Europa Moon

Water is life, and scientific research has long proven this fact. Water is the most important substance that living things need in order to survive. So far, scientists have been excited to find the possibility of life on some of the planetary moons. They have used the fact that evidence of the existence of life-supporting elements such as water and oxygen to other parts of the solar system has been presented through previous research to end up with this possibility.
There could be alien life on Jupiter as shown by promising discoveries so far. The problem is that ...

The concept of error deals with the uncertainties made in measurements, which are hard to correct. Error, therefore, does not mean blunder. Error is divided into two categories, which include random and systematic errors. Accuracy, on the other hand, is the rate at which information matches the accepted or true values. As stated earlier, error is either random or systematic. Systematic errors are those that “tend to shift all measurements in a systematic way, so their mean value is displaced” (Error Analysis, n.d). These errors occur when there are wrong calibrations on the equipment of use or the failure ...

The obsession with gold in California started in January 1848 when James Marshall found gold at approximately 40 miles from the Sutter’s Fort. All that followed after James’ find was extreme obsession to find the precious commodity not only in California but the rest of America. From the period henceforth, the prospect for gold became dramatic as everyone else was seeking to lay hands on the commodity (Brands 56).
It is hard to imagine what could have happened if a whole population stopped their usual economic activities only to look for gold. James’ find not only transformed people’ ...

Human beings are quire and agile in their environment; always questioning how things came to be, work, grow or operate. It shows their relentless nature, not to accept things as they are rather than open them up and discover its truth. However, these features enabled discovery of great things such as technology, machinery, fuel and the solar system among other things. Technology has been at the center of progress for human beings, with each passing day recording a new invention. In current times, artificial intelligence continues to gain ground against other inventions such as green energy technology. Its researchers ...
