The selected driver for this paper is the climate change. It is a well-known fact that climate change is considered as the increase in the average temperatures of Earth. An awe-inspiring methodical consensus upholds that climate change is occurring due to the fact that people are using fossil fuels that emit hazardous gasses in the environment. In this concern, the paper will discuss how communication and other significant factors can play a vital role for land managers to persuade people about the social values regarding climate change. People mostly want and even expect a lot from the natural resource ...

(Author’s affiliation) Diabetes is a polygenic disease characterized by significantly higher levels of glucose in the blood. In this disorder, metabolic disorders lead to persistent thirst (polydipsia) and excessive level of urination (polyuria). Diabetes is caused by insulin-related disturbances in the body. In healthy human beings, pancreatic β cells have insulin that is found as a hexamer having three insulin dimers attached together by two central zinc ions. The insulin monomer has a 21-residue A chain as well as a 30-residue B chain. These chains are cross-linked by two disulfide bridges, i.e. CysA20-CysB19 and CysA7-CysB7. There is also a ...

Gold swivel ring with agate scaraboid – Gallery 171 of the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York

If we look at the Gold Swivel Ring with an agate scaraboid it is obvious that the art medium is gold and agate. The ancient jeweler clearly used the basic jewelry techniques, although his craftsmanship is impressive due to providing a product with exemplary aesthetics. However, the ring still has no recognizable subject matter. Nonetheless, the ring has a well-rounded form and the agate scaraboid is in the ovalo-rectangular form. In terms of content, this piece of jewelry despite seeming to be simple evidently proclaims that it belongs to a rich man, or rather a woman. The ring is ...

Introduction

Field density testing is significant for assessing the soil properties of a site identified for a project. The assessment of soil property done through field density testing is aimed a verifying that the soil contained the required properties for the type of project to be constructed at the identified site (Thiers and Donovan 45). This lab uses the Sand Cone Method to verify the compaction of fill material and determine if the soil meet the required compaction with a design unit weight of 2,000 kg/m3. The aim of the experiment was to determine the dry unit weight, to ...

The continental plate in the eastern part of Asia is composed of various volcanoes and tectonic movements. Most of the volcanic rocks in this region are composed of alkali basalts with signs of continental contamination. There are various models that explain the region’s magmatic evolution. The two most common models used to explain the movements refers to the surficial processes and the other one refers to the deeper processes associated with the Pacific ocean plate. These two processes are antithetic and may hay happen subsequently. The volcanism can be traced by tomographic imaging that can be directly associated ...

This memo addresses the question of whether Nice Creams should give a free ice cream cone replacement if a customer drops it. The gross profit per family per visit is $3.8 (20%*$19). Giving away an ice cream cone that costs Nice Creams $3.15 in material costs wipes out 82.89% of the gross profit made per family. For this reason, May seems right that giving away the ice creams would adversely impact on the profitability of the business. This argument is valid especially if you assume that there are no repeat customers. However, the business operates in a suburb ...

The Complexity of the Cross

Perception and perspective is often considered one’s reality. This notion forces one to acknowledge their own perceptions and perspective, particularly when it comes to their faith as they solidify and identify their own beliefs. For those who belong to the body of Christ, each member has its own journey formulating a testimony that is based on a personal relationship that is rooted in the loving grace of Jesus Christ. Within each life with Christ, there are complexities that only the grace of God can heal. In spite of life’s injustices, evil forces, sinful flesh, and degradation, the ...

Common methods of Soil Investigation in the EUA

Soil investigation is imperative for various geological reasons. In most cases, subsurface investigation programs are carried to examine the underlying characteristics suggested by field reconnaissance and office research so as to modify, deny or confirm the assumed properties and conditions below the ground surface. Soil investigation and exploration program present a reasonable idea about the underlying soil condition and characteristics. The main aim of soil investigation and subsurface exploration is to determine the geomorphic and geological structures of the site’s subsurface (Ameratunga, Sivakugan & Das, 2016). There are two major methods of soil investigation employed across the UAE. The ...

Having emerged at the same time with Fauvism, Cubism played a major role in the formation of formalistic painting. Its history can be traced back to 1907 when Paris hosted its discovery by the formalistic movement. The founders of Cubism were the expressionist painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. In fact, cubism painter were basing on Cézanne's statement that the groundwork of nature was represented by simple geometric forms, such as a sphere, cylinder and cone, though Cézanne himself did not expose the geometrical structure of things, thus only implying it while constructing volumetric figures (Strickland, Boswell ...

Introduction

Color blindness, or commonly referred to as color deficiency occurs when someone is unable to distinguish between colors in a normal way. Precisely, one can see but cannot tell the difference between primary colors, red green and blue. The eye structure is composed of cones and rods. The latter perceives the light of high intensity while the former perceives low light levels. There are three types of cones that perceive the abovementioned primary colors. When one of the cone receptors is nonfunctional, detects an inappropriate color or is nonfunctional, the brain cannot determine the correct input from the eye ...

Entomology is the investigation of bugs, which are those creatures that have an exoskeleton, 6 legs, 3 body portions, 1 sets of radio wire, and 1 sets of compound eyes. The quickly developing field of measurable entomology is extensively characterized as the utilization of the investigative investigation of creepy crawlies and their arthropod relatives to lawful matters. Scientific entomologists regularly manage non-creepy crawly arthropods, for example, arachnids, bugs, and ticks. Thusly, the essential meaning of "criminological entomology" amplifies past "entomology." Inside of the scientific sciences, legal entomologists can set up a part of the after death interim (which is ...

Both the theologian James Cone and the existential philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre looked at the world and were unsatisfied with the status quo they experienced around them. This dissatisfaction led them to know ideas and perspectives with which to see the world. These ideas resonated with others, which gained them the notoriety they have today as important philosophical/theological figures. The Public Broadcasting service (PBS) did a profile of James Cone in its series “This far by faith” which explains how the social and political tides at the time shaped his view of the world and his ideas for how he thought ...

Human perception of sounds is not only performed by an ear as a part of the body. In fact, a person hears through the organ of hearing, which has got complex structure. The ear is only a visible part of it. Auricle or pinna essentially acts as a funnel through which a person catches vibrations in the air. Coming through the auditory canal, they affect the eardrum – a thin membrane that separates the outer and middle ears. Then the eardrum vibrations are transmitted to the auditory ossicles and reach the inner ear, the main part of which is an organ called the bony ...

Color Signals in Human

For more than 20 years there has been confusion and contradiction about whether and how the visual system can examine the motion of pure color patterns that contain no luminance variety. Three new papers have reported proof that, given their force, color patterns match luminance designs in the motion related sensations and utilitarian attractive resonance imaging signals. They evoke in people, and in the neural signs they inspire in the motion region of cortex of acting monkeys. This key aspect of the most seasoned and the most modern of cognitive neuroscience strategies decisively reject the proposal that color signs ...

Abstract

Concrete acts as one of the most essential and cost-effective construction material made from a mixture of sand, cement, aggregates, and water. Cement acts as a binder for holding all the components together. Engineers working in the construction site must understand the purpose of the construction because different structures require different concrete strengths. The strength of cement paste used controls the overall strength of concrete that depends on the water-cement ratio. The following experiment was conducted to investigate different mechanical and physical properties of concrete.

Objective: To determine mechanical properties of concrete.

Materials used: Aggregate (coarse and fine), sand, cement, water, compressive machine, cylindrical and rectangular molds, timer, ...

Introduction:

Scientists believe that the gymnosperms developed from an extinct phylum whose members reproduced through spores (E. Taylor, T. Taylor, & Krings, 2009). The first true gymnosperms, however, produced seeds instead of spores. As a result, the evolution of the seeds became a fundamental adaptation of the gymnosperms to the dry conditions on land. The second factor that made the group successful on land was the development of pollen grains, which transported and protected the male gametes. Hence, unlike the seedless vascular plants, the gymnosperms became less dependent on the aquatic conditions for the success of fertilization. Instead, they gained the ability to ...

Some people in this world believe that men are treated “un-rightly” hence they formed loosely centralized organizations that aim to correct these injustices against men. The firsts of these organizations were formed in Austria during the 1850s. From a loosely connected organization started the centralization, and in 1926 League for Men's Rights came into existence, which main advocacy is to combat “all excesses of women’s emancipation” (Malleier 58). One year later, the said organization produced another two groups called the Aequitas World's League for the Rights of Men and Justitia League for Family Law Reform. Nevertheless, all three organizations ...

1. The Mayan civilization existed for over 1500 years, with the date of their habitation into the areas presently recognized as Mayan being from around 2600 BC to 1800 BC. During this time, they enjoyed great prosperity owing to their proficiency in science and mathematics. Several aspects of the Mayans developed during this period, of note being the art and architecture they managed to create and leave behind as evidence of their civilization. In their ability to create glorious architectural works, great cities developed by the Mayans include the Caracal in present day Belize. The city was developed ...

The regeneration of nerves throughout the human body has been a subject of much interest in biology recently. The unique characteristics of both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) provide insights into the mechanisms occurring after once damage occurs. A good understanding of tThe differences between these mechanisms also may lead to new therapies for nerve-damaged patients, including stroke patients. Following injury, the nerves in the CNS of an adult mammal will not regenerate, while the PNS will. These differences appear in every stage of axon regeneration. Within hours of axotomy, the PNS begins ...

The hydrological cycle refers to the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the earth. It mainly involves the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, percolation, interception and runoff/overland flows. The main source of energy that drives the cycle is solar energy and therefore the main changes in energy involve changes in temperature. When surface water is heated, it gains energy and changes from liquid state to gaseous state. This results in a cooling effect to the surrounding region (Arctic Climatology and Meteorology) Transpiration also contributes in adding water vapor in the atmosphere; this is referred ...

Abstract Continuous Flight Augers (CFA) require special expertise to construct but done properly they are economical and very successful for areas with inconsistent load carrying capacities. Examples include using CFA pilings for guard rails, highway reinforcement, highway junction improvements and buildings. The CFA pilings are similar to driven and bored piles but offer different advantages when working in good to marginal soils and in projects where the load capacity needs vary. An auger with a hollow tube is used to bore the hole and then when the auger tip reaches the final depth concrete is added as the auger ...

What is the significance of a detainee's biography in the forensic psychological assessment of mentally ill offenders? A forensic psychological assessment seeks to provide information to attorneys and courts for the purpose of making legal determination. The psychologist seeks to discern the relationship between the detainee’s mental disorder (if any) and the offence they are charged for (if proven). Biographical investigation is one method of performing a forensic psychological evaluation. The detainee’s biography provides background information as a source of knowledge to form the basis of a biographical investigation. A biography gives a unique and personalized narrative of an individual devoid ...

Drug testing in the workplace is a widely contested concern that continues to gain importance among various groups including employers, professional bodies, worker associations and government. There are multiple ethical and legal issues surrounding this practice. Existing literature on this issue presents mixed results as regards its desirability (Carpenter, 2006). The prevalence of drug abuse among workers in the U.S alone is alarming. The National Survey on drug Use and Health observed that in 2004 for instance, 75% of drug abusers in the country are workers (Cholakis & Roger, 2007). The implications of such findings are likely to be of significance ...

The Hydrologic Cycle

The global hydrologic cycle involves the change of water between three states. Water can be gaseous, like humidity in the atmosphere and the condensation in clouds, liquid as in our lakes, rivers, and oceans, or solid as in our ice caps and glaciers. Water is very complex and energy is required for it to change between the different states. Without water, biologic life could not exist. Evaporation and transpiration return water from the liquid state into the gaseous state. It takes a lot of energy to effect this change in state. Approximately 600 calories per gram of water is ...

What do the cross of Christ and lynching tree symbolize for the author? How does he relate the two? What do you think prevented white American Christians prior to the civil rights movement from viewing these events (the cross of Christ and the lynchings) like the author does? The author has recognized the similarity between religion and race liberation in America. As both the cross and lynching tree symbolizes the worst human beings and at the same a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine their final meaning. Therefore, one symbolizes Christian faith which is divine ...

Paragliding as an activity can take many forms, key among which are recreational and competitive (Noel 10). For the former, paragliders take to the air for the sole purpose of personal enjoyment and leisure. The latter case, on the other hand, involves structured routes and systems of rules in which participants try to defeat each other with regard to speed and distance covered.

Design, Structure and Control

In spite of this activity being largely synonymous with simple aircraft devoid of any sophisticated equipment, some modern designs have revolutionized it giving rise to a wide range of possible designs and modes of utility. Nevertheless, the ...

The main reason why the Gohyaku Rakanji Temple was considered “strange” was a technique of “immediate-impact hall, the first in Japanese Buddhist history” (Screech 415). This meant that statue of Buddha, rich ornaments and five hundred of arhats were seen by view from the entrance. Another particular feature of the construction was that the Turbo Hall was three-storied instead of a regular, single-story building characteristic for temples of Edo period (Screech 417). It was also opened to all visitors, which was not regular for other Japanese temples, pagodas or praying houses (Screech 417). Another peculiarity of the Turbo Hall was its ...
