The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

BODY CAMERAS TO BENEFIT POLICE AND CITIZENS

There is a sustained perception by minority groups such as African-Americans that the law enforcement officers treat discriminately. This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics. However, the introduction and use of body cameras come as a panacea towards bringing to an end the unprecedented cases of police brutality and use of excessive force. In addition, civil suits concerning police brutality launched by African Americans are expected to reduce the involvement of body cameras. According to the H.Res.16, the wearing of body cameras by local law enforcement agencies while serving the communities encourages transparency and protects both ...

Landfills are a necessary evil that only deserves to be properly managed in order to avoid related problems. Human life will be more difficult without places they could dump their waste, especially given that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) puts the rate of average dumping at 4.5 per person.

Other than the fact that human beings are generally not willing to live near them, landfills are also very ugly and cause environmental problems. These problems occur through Leachate, Toxins, and Greenhouse ...

"Ex Machina" is an intriguing thriller with good acting work as well as an unexpected ending. It has nothing in common with blockbusters as it may seem by the first glance of the poster or trailer. Initially this movie seemed to me like a cheap second-class fantastic movie without pretensions to artistic value. Fortunately, I was wrong. It is much more profound than most modern films on the theme of artificial intelligence. It captures the attention of the audience from the first minutes by the means of the stunning scenery, light sweet music, good humor, colorful characters and sort ...

Regardless of our ways of life, personal touches, and social standing all of us have one and the same end – death. The birth and death are natural issues that equalize people and determine their mortality. The saddest thing is that death exterminates us as who we really are and leaves only our bodies: flesh, skin, bones. The deceased continue to live in the memory of their relatives and friends, but when it is their turn to die, the real us melt in the eternity only with our graves remained. In her essay “Sky Burial,” Alex Mar writes about people ...

Introduction

Hypothalamus 1. What is the molecular mechanism to release TRH? TRH refers to the thyrotropin-releasing hormone. This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus. Before the full activity of TRH, some tightly controlled processes occur in the body including the appropriate folding of prohormone to move to the secretary pathway, the processing after translation, and movement of the peptides, which are processed, towards the secretary granules for secretion (Nillni n.p.). TRH develops from bigger inactive precursor (known as proTRH) as a result of modifications after translation and moved through the controlled secretary pathway. Prohormone convertases (abbreviated as PCs) including PC1/3 ...

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 ...

There is a significant debate between many experts about the origins of the universe and the explanations as to why humanity is the way it is. Three of the main channels for this are religion, philosophy, and science. Science is by far the most important approach to understanding how the world works. It is the most understandable, solid explanation for the answers that many people seek. It explains why the world was created, how humans, plants, and animals came to be, and why people are hardwired to do the things that they do. Everything is explained within a discipline ...

If one tries to figure out the first illustrations on the planet, they will be taken back all the way to the cave paintings by ancient men.

Essentially, customers do not want the hassle of receiving more advertisements than they already do. Data Mining has been seen as the enemy to the consumer because in the modern age that we live in, there is not a ...

My final research paper will be based on the perception of free will and censorship in the society. Free will is afforded to all human beings, but many persons fail to understand that free will without a high moral standard is similar to removing free will from humans. Arguably, free will and censorship are often misunderstood by many persons. The government takes away the free will of persons when they implement censorship on persons, but persons also censor their thoughts and actions when they censor themselves from the truth because of a lack of knowledge that can help to ...
