The film confirms the universal power of faith and belief in yourself. Whoever you may be, your trump card is your faith. Fatalists believe in the inevitability of fate, Gatsby believes that the fate of his was just that, which he invented himself. He achieved the greatness that all was prepared for him since childhood (Churchwell). The film is about how to love, loyalty on his dream. Of course, it is not easy, even dangerous, but maybe we should try it. As long as the person is alive, you can correct any mistakes; realize any dream, even a return ...

Introduction

In the advent of globalization, an increasing number of people have opted to move across countries due to the relatively diminishing size of the world. Employers have also found themselves in receipt of multiple job applications from foreign individuals. The hiring and retention of a foreign employee are usually guided by a different legislation than the one governing the employment of national employees. One of the most fundamental freedoms provided by to the EU citizens is the free movement of persons. All EU citizens have unrestricted freedom to live, study and work in any member state of the union ...

The struggle to access affordable and quality care has been a challenge to many citizens in the United States for quite long. Many reforms in the healthcare system which have been carried out in the past from the President Clinton to President Bush administration did not managed to provide sustainable solutions to many Americans who were grappling with the high cost of health care and failing economy. However, the President Obama administration has tried to bring to sanity in the health care system and some relief to consumers. The promulgation of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 made it ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

This video highlights the development of theory of interaction of electricity with magnetism. A number of scientists were involved in understanding, interpreting and validating electromagnetism with simple experiments involving current and magnetic elements. During September 1820, Ampere investigated magnetic effects of repulsion/attraction between like/unlike poles. He developed theory of electro-dynamics related to magnetism as interaction of current elements. Laplace was skeptical of his ideas while some other scientists like Fernel started thinking on converse patterns. Some other scientists like Jean Fernel focused on theory of production of electricity by magnetism and production of currents in conducting metals. Jean Fernel ...

Lab 2: What I liked

I liked the fact that the abstract was straightforward and direct. As soon as I read the first sentence, I knew what this lab was about and what the experimenter was trying to measure. I also liked that the experimenter was honest in that he or she is uncertain of the values that were calculated or the way that the experiment was performed. Rather than reporting false values to make the lab report look better, the experimenter acknowledged that the outcome of the lab was not optimal. That is ultimately more useful for the people trying to learn ...

Article Analysis

Introduction into Nursing Research

Carol S. Coose Abstract Needleman et al., (2011) in Nurse Staffing Ratios and Hospital Mortality looked at the ratio of nurses to patients care, and found that there was the need to match staffing with patients’ needs for nursing care. Taking cross-sectional studies of hospital-level administrative data, they were able to justify the association between lower levels of staffing of registered nurses (RNs) and increased patient mortality. The reason for this is the unavailability of registered nurses. In an evaluation of patients of a particular hospital during the first 30 days of their admission, ...

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT - Aims and objectives The health risk assessment of MRI is incomplete yet and a number of gaps in our knowledge about the ill-effects of MRI have been identified. The effects of exposure to static fields above 8 T are not known.

Electricity can flow in two different ways; either in direct current (DC) or in alternating current (AC). Electricity is a moving electron through or along a conductor, for instance a wire, which have been connected for energy (Daly, Peckham & AudioGO, 2013). Therefore, the variation between DC and AC is the direction of electron flow. In direct current, the electrons flow in one direction (forward). In alternating current, electrons keep changing directions, sometimes forward and at times backwards (Daly, 2013).

Origins of DC and AC Current

A magnetic field next to a wire can make electrons flow along the wire in one direction, because electrons become repelled from the negative ...

Magnetism is the ability of a material to exhibit attraction or repulsion of certain magnetic materials due to the presence of magnetic fields. Magnetism may be permanent or temporary depending on whether a material is a hard or soft magnetic material. Magnetism arises from the existence of small atom-like structures referred to as magnetic domains that, when aligned, cause the effect of magnetism to be pronounced in a magnetic material (Huebener, 135). Magnetism depends on the alignment of domains and in the same direction. As such, increase in temperatures results in increased random movement of domains, and hence affecting their alignment. On ...

The United States (U.S.) in the 21st Century has more than one serious problem facing it. Yet, it can be determined that the most fundamental crises facing the nation today is the influx of illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S., taking jobs and using-up resources meant for its own citizens. Admittedly, this issue has caused a furious debate on benefits versus liabilities on both the federal and state levels.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has estimated that around 11.5 million illegal immigrants entered the country in 2011, of which 6.9 million arrived from Mexico ( ...

Studies have shown that there are a number of measurable benefits to magnet schools, ranging from greater student participation in the classroom to enhanced performance in college and the workplace among graduates. On balance, students who spent a longer period of time in magnet school environments have proven superior in terms of academic performance, school attendance and social behavior (Flaxman, Guerrero and Gretchen, 1999). This is a remarkable result given that magnet schools are, in large part, an outgrowth of the turmoil that raged over school integration during the 1960s and ‘70s. Necessity, in this case, led to the invention of the ...
