Computer scientists often have the thought of having an important place within the society. They will strive to show everyone in the world how their views have the most positive effects on the entire globe. The use of computers has been a major boost on the current world because many activities are made simple. Communication across the world and all the bulky activities that involved the human nature to carry out have been made simply by programming a computer to take instructions from a human (Agans, 2002). The computer is programmed to carry out a multitude of activities including accepting data, processing the ...

The 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause states that every individual should enjoy equal protection under the law. What this says is that police officers do not have the right to interpret the level of protection an individual deserves based on his/her supposed worthiness. An unarmed individual, by right of his vulnerability, is entitled to the defense of police officers, not their aggression. A firearm automatically puts an individual in a superior position where they have the ability to mete out death. A police officer, who has been entrusted to use that ability with wisdom, has the duty not to use ...

Abstract

In Ross v. Moffitt (1974), it was held by the U.S. Supreme Court that the indigent criminal defendant is not entitled to the right of an appointed counsel at State’s cost as the indigent defendant is already entitled to the right of the appointed counsel at the courts below i.e., the trial court and first court of appeal where a counsel’s advise and presence is required at the various stages of trial and to point out to the Appellate court the errors committed by the court below. What is more important is the due process clause rather than ...

Experience suggests that mining impacts can become politicized and can lead to conflicts. The Kennedy School of government at Harvard University (2008) describe conflict as both inevitable and avoidable, and considers that a level of suspicion and questioning generally ...

Chemical and Biological Agents and Radiation

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN): HCN is a highly toxic chemical blood agent in the form of a colorless gas. Cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory and thyroid effects can occur as a result of chronic low exposure to HCN (Blanc, Hogan, Hryhorczuk, Hessl & Bernard, 1985). In case of exposure to liquid HCL, mild soapy water can be used for decontamination. Either sodium or amyl nitrite combined with sodium thiosulfate can be can be used as an antidote for the effects of HCN poisoning (USAMRICD, 2000). Treating patients with poor oxygen-carrying capacity can be a bit challenging because nitrite-induced methemoglobinemia can be harmful. (Chandra, Gupta, Bhargava, ...

The SQL injection (SQLi) is one of the most common threats to contemporary computer security. It is also one of the most successful threats because it is easy to execute and moderately hard to detect and prevent, so the success rates are high and the damaged caused by the attack is severe. Furthermore, there are no tools that can accurately detect and stop specific SQLi attacks, so developers are required to analyze the source code and resort to code-based defense strategies if they want to prevent unauthorized access to data. In the worst case scenario, an attacker can take ...

The wide expansion and growth of the internet has resulted in unlimited capabilities to pass information, download and store music, video, and real time chatting and social networking, this can be seen as the advantages brought about by the world wide web ( Roger & Marc 2004).

Introduction

In a classic financial world as predicted by Modigliani and Miller (M&M), the risk management should be irrelevant. When there are no information asymmetries, taxes or transaction cost involved, hedging will not add any value to a firm because shareholders or companies can diversify their portfolio in such a way that their overall risk will be totally hedged (Lin and Chang 2006). However, the real world is far from the Modigliani and Miller model. In practice, we see imperfections in the financial market. This imperfection may actually create a rationale to reduce the volatility of earnings for a firm through hedging.
