Institutionalization of Chinese politics since Deng Xiaoping:

The Chinese state and its relationship to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been by far the most significant factor in determining the level of institutionalization of Chinese politics. Chinese politics was highly shaped during the revolutionary and Maoist periods by the power of the CCP. The CCP’s role in the revolution and its creation of a particular state form highly influenced the state form. The Chinese state under Mao was revolutionary inasmuch as it was primarily focused on class struggle as its primary role. This changed after Mao’s death and the rise of Deng Xiaoping and ...

Hamas movement has been perceived over the years as an Islamist extremist terrorist movement. This perception has been informed by the mission behind the formation of the movement which is in a nutshell, the obliteration of Israel and the ultimate establishment of a Palestinian state. Besides, the perception derives justification from the religious ideologies such as fundamentalism and radicalization often associated with Islamism and adopted by the Hamas in addition to several terrorist activities that have been carried out by the movement (Pettersen, 2009). However, this paper seeks to portray the Hamas as a movement in pursuit of self-determination ...

Introduction

Radical extremism is a sought after media subject today. However, the real picture is always missing. The entire world focusses only one type of radical extremism. The world chooses to forget that there is yet another type which is far more dangerous. The callous campaign of the Crusaders in the Eleventh Century destroyed the peace in the Middle East and is responsible for all the animosity towards the West from this region. Yet, European scholars at the time did not document the massacres or acts of cannibalism by the Crusading armies. Similarly, while the Western media is busy covering ...

Elections usually come down to a handful of states due to the way the Electoral College is set up. Those states are Florida, Virginia, Ohio, and Colorado, also known as “swing” states or “purple” states. This assumes that each party holds on to its core big states. The democrats have California, New York, and Illinois. The republicans have Texas. What would happen if either party lost one of their key states? Well, doing a little math, the republicans only have one. To say it would have a rippling effect would be an understatement. Before we can answer this question, ...

Colombian conflict - asymmetric warfare, which began in 1964 (active - since 1966) and continues at the present time, between the Government of Colombia, paramilitary groups, criminal syndicates and leftist guerrillas (FARC, ELN) for influence in the country.

BERNOULLI’S EXPERIMENT

ABSTRACT Two fluid properties, the Bernoulli principle and the Venturi effect, were examined and analyzed in this experiment. A venturi meter was used to measure the fluid flow rate, velocity, and pressure of water (the fluid being examined). The results showed that the fluid pressure decreases as the fluid traveled through a smaller cross sectional area. The minimum fluid pressure (in effect, maximum fluid velocity) was observed in the smallest cross sectional area at position D (diameter 16 mm). The decrease in fluid pressure was compensated by an increase in the fluid velocity. With these two measured phenomena, both ...

BERNOULLI’S EXPERIMENT

INTRODUCTION This experiment aims to verify Bernoulli’s equation that relates the pressure and the velocity of a fluid. The aims of the experiment are: A venturi meter is a device used in fluid measurements. It uses a converging section of a pipe in order to change fluid velocity or pressure. The venturi meter in this experiment is used several times to estimate flow rates and measure piezometric head values at different points along the venturi meter. The fluid used in this experiment is water. Bernoulli’s equation is a mathematical model for ideal fluids. Because of this, the ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...
