The Demon in the Freezer is a true, spine tingling nonfictional story and NY Times best seller about how a practically invisible, lethal virus can infect an entire nation within a matter of days. Richard Preston brought the real terror of smallpox to the attention of millions of people by bringing the virus to a personal level. The crucial scientists in this book are Peter Jahrling (chief scientist at United States Army Medical Response Institute of Infectious Disease or USAMRIID for short),…

develop at different times and no two children will reach the same milestones. The zone of proximal development was introduced by Vygotsky in his sociocultural theory. This theory based on the distance between the knowledge the child currently has, and the knowledge that the child can achieve with the assistance of an adult. In other words, what the child is capable of doing on their own, as compared what they can achieve with the help of an adult. Children are not all at the same Zone of…

the United States Navy performed critical studies and determined that there was a need for a new class of small ship. The U.S Navy was tasked to design a ship that is able to operate and conduct missions in the shallow-water and near-shore littoral zones. As of result of this study, the U.S Navy announced it…

Introduction: From rest to exercise the human body’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems must integrate and adapt to changing conditions—especially during incremental increases in submaximal exercise to maximal exercise. The coordination of cardiovascular and respiratory systems coalesce to form what is known as the cardiorespiratory system (Lotric & Stefanovska, 2000). Within muscle cells there are extremely limited stores for anaerobic energy; thus, a well-coordinated cardiovascular and…

The Maya was an ancient civilization renowned for their remarkable architecture as well as their exceptional knowledge in astronomy and mathematics (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322). Reaching their population peak around 750 A.D, the Maya experienced societal collapse between 750 and 950 A.D (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322), the cause of the collapse remaining a heavily debated topic today by archaeologists. This essay will argue that the primary contributing factor of the Maya collapse was drought;…

The First Wave of feminism took place from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th. The struggle most often recognized when discussing First Wave feminism is that of suffrage, or the right to vote, however many more topics of equality were brought to light during this era. For example, contraception, prostitution and objectification were other topics that were focused on. As with any of the Waves of feminism, the people following these activist ideals were divided into two…

1. a) Roles of the riparian zone include filtering and buffering water through the various vegetation, acting as flood protection areas, trapping sediment and preventing erosion (though the roots of riparian plants) before they reach the water course, helping maintain local water table levels, shading by the riparian plants and keeping stream temperatures low during the summer for the fish, acting as a corridor for land mammals (e.g. bears, deer, squirrels), and overall maintaining biological…

We all know that we live in a world, where opportunities are never given, but instead they are taken. The bucs have been on the wrong end of success this season. A team that was once labeled the dark horse of the NFC, Quickly became the laughing stock of the NFL. At least the browns are expected to be losers. The 49ers were expected to have setbacks. The buccaneers had expectations as well, they were expected to turn heads, not have them turn away. At a dismal record of 2-6, our starting…

The broad similarity between two articles Ehlers, Worm & Reusch (2008) and Campanella et al. (2013) is that both papers emphasized the importance of the genetic diversity of Zostera marina, an ecologically important plant for coastal ecosystem to survive adverse environmental conditions arising from climate change, catastrophic events (storm, heat waves) and anthropogenic activities (pollution, eutrophication, habitat destruction etc). Ehlers et al. (2008) talked about the effects of temperature…

Littorinimorpha in the three tides zones high, mid, and low each have their own ecological niche for marine organisms. But there is some marine life that are able to live in patchiness within zones and thrive in more than one. The high intertidal zones are home to marine life that are more tolerant to air, like barnacles (Ricketts et al. 1968). The mid zone includes higher low water and lower low water, which can be indicated by limpets (Ricketts et al. 1968). Last the low zone includes those…
