Introduction

The country of Bangladesh has historically served as a virtual bulls-eye for cyclonic activity in its corner of the Indian Ocean. Not only is the bay that leads onto shore extremely flat (and shallow), the shoreline is shaped like a horseshoe, which draws the storm activity inward. Also, the Bangladeshi lowlands along the ocean are also flat, and they do not drain well at all. This is good when you want to grow rice, but it is not so good when you want to avoid tragedy when a cyclone blows ashore and brings flooding with it. In the centuries before such ...

In the journal titled Mapping the Spatial Influence of Crime Correlates: A Comparison of Operationalization Schemes and Implications for Crime Analysis and Criminal Justice Practice, Caplan Joel acknowledges the variety of independent variables that have significant direct correlation with particular crime outcomes that decades of research in the field of criminology have identified. The author admits that despite tremendous amount of research in criminology, researchers still understand little about correlates and research factors. He reiterates that there is a meager understanding of the manners in which the factors and correlates of crime become applicable in ways that represent their spatial ...

Technical Applied Science: Using the Scientific Method

Problem Statement

In general commercial and non-commercial flights are the two main categories of aviation. Pilot age became a particularly controversial issue in 1959 when the Age-60 Rule was made by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Age Rule has been lifted to 65 years so pilot’s can continue to fly through their early 60s. All factors causing air accidents are seriously investigated. If age is not a factor then time could be better spent resolving the problems that are factors in air accidents. This proposal seeks to evaluate the literature in order to determine whether or not the age ...

Problem statement

Azerbaijan like many countries in the world is dependent on fossil fuels as a source of its energy. Being a fossil fuel rich country, fossil fuels are widely used to produce majority of the energy needed in the country. However, fossil fuels have a number of problems associated with them. They are a finite resource and human beings are using them at a much faster rate than the earth can replace them. Therefore, in the future humans will deplete all natural occurring fossil fuels (Michaelides, 2012). Furthermore, carbon compound makes up fossil fuels. This implies that burning up fossil ...

The practice of holding animals in captivity (particularly in zoo contexts) is barbaric, and should be prohibited as a practice. The proposed research paper will utilize an ethical argument to advocate against the keeping of animals in captivity. The primary goal of the research paper will be to argue for this belief, not as a call to take specific action against it.
This argument falls into the category of an ethical argument as it is mostly based around the importance of the welfare of defenseless creatures against a far superior and controlling force (i.e. humanity). Therefore, the main conceptual core of ...
