Applications Component (UAC). The first two elements of Trilogy were awarded to Computer Sciences Corporation in one contract because both components involved physical IT infrastructure enhancements. The UAC element of Trilogy was awarded to another contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). After various security threats, most significantly the September 2001 attacks, the UAC phase of the project was modified into the Virtual Case File by the FBI. VCF was intended to be…

(Boyle). Boyle also shared the growing idea that science was a way to view God’s grace in nature. Boyle “believed that science and Scripture exist in harmony.” (Dao) Boyle used his belief in the connection between reason and faith to prove mechanical philosophy, an uncommon belief at the time, which was touched upon earlier. Proof of Boyle’s devotion and faith in Christianity can be seen through his donations to Bible…
The 16th and 17th century was the age of discovery, the moment where science precedes to understand the divine rules of Nature and where technological advances assist in promoting life in the European states. In addition to the Scientific Revolution, migrating Europeans into the New World motivated discoveries not only through different lifestyles but through the curiosity of how Nature functions and why. The Thirty Years War was the start of challenges to the Church in subjects such as theology…
The ethnic barriers in the world of science have always been blurry and hard to determine. Depending on the time, and the popular social ideologies of that time, scientific practices may switch to and fro on the scales of ethicality. Because of these obscure complications, scientists often have a hard time picking their sides on the age-long debate between practically and morality. Some experimental procedures may have deemed acceptable in the past, but are now frowned upon. Although amazing…
Undergraduate Research: I was an undergraduate research assistant in different labs, including biomedical engineering and Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacology. In Dr. Junping Kou's lab, my teammate and I finished two research projects, my contribution to these projects including acquiring the funding, creating the mouse model of acute hypoxia-induced organs injury and ischemia-reperfusion injury, performing Western Blotting to measure protein expression level, providing evidence for the…
Mistakes don’t lead to good, but when they do it’s usually pretty good. Mistakes are needed for discovery,Heinrich Schliemann found out and Percy Spencer. Heinrich Schliemann was an archaeologist and was reckless when it came to digging. Percy Spencer left a candy bar in his pocket near a Magnetron and made a discovery which lead to the microwave. On the other hand, mistakes can be pretty costly. But still mistakes lead to progress. First of all, Heinrich Schliemann started of as an adventurer…
Science And Technology In The 1940’s Have you ever wondered how technology and science got so advanced? Many different items that we use today started from something that may seem small, such as, medicine, cell phones, and even irregular things like guns and bombs. Linus Pauling once said, “Science is the search for truth. It is not a game in which one tries to beat others.” While not a game, it is fought like one. Scientists have developed weapons and strategies to progress their performance…
religion. Morals are principles that respect right and wrong situations and can be based on religion, or entirely on an individual's opinion. Testing in the scientific world is major but ethics and morals are often brought up. Ethics getting involved in science is significant because there is various views on the topic and limits and boundaries are drawn. Throughout the novel, Frankentstein, by Mary Shelley, Victor has morals that are nonexistent, and he lets his feelings control his future…
