“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Today not only in the United States but also across the world more children than was the case fifty years ago are becoming obese. These children are increasingly being placed at risk of contracting diabetes and other lifestyle diseases in their later life. Through scientific studies, researchers have established some of the reasons why more children are today being diagnosed with childhood obesity than before (Schmiege, Gance-Cleveland, Gilbert, & Aldrich, 2016). Their arguments revolve around the change of lifestyle being experienced today. On average, almost a third of the children in America are suffering from childhood and the numbers are ...

(Doctoral students must include the following on the title page instead: 1. Compliments today are somewhat of a taboo. In the younger generation, especially among college students, many suffer from low self-esteem, which could easily be solved by providing positive comments. The problem many people face when deciding whether or not to give compliments is the fear of being misunderstood. When talking about someone’s appearance, they might take it the wrong way. In other cases, when a man comments a woman, they might believe that to be a sexually motivated compliment. This is the reason why I am ...

Hi Nancy, the project that you propose develops a broader perspective of environmental conservation and sustainability as a collective social action. Environmental issues and preservation require public awareness and communal participation. The social network theory and social capital show that the community is a set of individuals with ties and relations that can be utilized to accomplish a common objective (Aldrich and Michelle, 6). The example can be seen from your project proposal by communicating with the companies that make the plastic cups, the breweries industries, environmental organizations, media houses, and city council to work together and realize a ...

Dozens of names cross the mind when considering a single individual who had significant impact on Western culture in the Age of Pluralism and Modernism.

Scientists of the same time period counted Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and Ivan Pavlov in their number. Sigmund Freud revolutionized the field of psychology, and while Adolph Hitler promoted war, Mahatma Gandhi promoted peace. While any of these people and many others may be considered ...

Abstract

In this experiment, benzene was treated with hydrogen in the presence of Pt/SiO2 as an example that can be applied on industrial operations to show that the most recently modernized methods of neutron total scattering that cover a wide Q-range allow the use of appropriate catalytic chemistry that can be measured on time domain to probe directly on site the hydrogenation of benzene within the catalyst pore. Based on this method, it is possible to study the rates of reaction on length scales that can provide measurements equivalent to the size of an atom or a nanometre. Furthermore, the ...

Abstract

In the society today, everyone desires to remain young, active, and self-dependent. However, the forces of nature do not allow human beings to survive forever in the environment. People have to die for others to be born (Aldrich, Kiyota, Arnold, & Tanaka, 2015.). Everyone must go through old age if they successfully escape from other fatalities that cause pre-mature deaths. Our society treats senior citizens differently. Some are respected, others are mocked and ridiculed, others are stigmatized, and worse, others go through very difficult life experiences such as taking care of the young(Chapter 14 the Resilience of Elders of ...

Abstract

Mitigation emphases on decreasing damages of life and property while the recovery empowers the community to regain its normalcy and cope with the situation to continue with their lives. From that avowal, it is without a doubt that they are both central and fundamental phases in the management of adversities that might arise. The two play an essential role in helping the society members to respond and bounce back despite the loss of life and damage to properties. An attempt will be made to expound the mitigation and recovery disciplines of the disaster management plan as well as the ...

Results and Literature Review

Slavec & Prodan (2012) found out that the strength of an entrepreneur’s social links is a significant factor in financing choice.
