Bletchley Park Research Paper

Decent Essays
A research telephone engineer named Tommy Flowers designed Colossus with Alan Turing’s help in the use of probability in cryptanalysis, though it was Turing’s machine called Bombe that helped decode enigma.
It is abundantly clear that without the efforts of Bletchley Park, that the length and even the outcome of the war could have been very different. Due to secrecy for various reasons Bletchley Park’s real involvement and contribution to the war effort has only come to light in recent years. Everyone that contributed, provided a small piece to a very large machine that helped the allied forces defeat the Third Reich.

    SARATOGA, NEW YORK October 17, 1777 - A British army of nearly 7,000 surrendered today to a combined force of American militia and Continental regulars. "The fortunes of war have made me your prisoner," said British General John Burgoyne as he handed over his sword to his American counterpart, Horatio Gates. "I shall always be ready to testify that it was through no fault of your excellency," Gates replied. News of the huge British defeat spread quickly through the colonies and fueled speculation that the French government would now seriously consider entering the conflict on the American side. The end for Burgoyne and his army came on the heels of a long and arduous campaign that began with a stunning British victory at Ticonderoga.…

    Health Law’s Eight New Changes HC1: In September of 2010, under the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the government made eight new changes to its health laws (Carey, 2010). These changes have affected Americans in different ways, depending on the insurance coverage that each individual has (Carey, 2010). The ACA included changes such as raising the age requirement for children on their parent’s insurance plan to twenty-six, prohibiting insurers from denying children coverage due to a pre-existing medical condition,, and prohibiting insurers from canceling an individual’s coverage due to sickness (Carey, 2010). Insurers also cannot charge co-pays for preventative services such as cancer screenings and the individuals get the right to choose their primary physicians and specialists, not the insurer (Carey, 2010).…

    Abstract: Was the capture of former Nazi officials by covert United States operatives and subsequent integration into their Space Program justified? The capture and relocation of German scientists in Operation Paperclip was justified because the achievements of the captured scientists led to the United States victory in the Space Race, it prevented the Soviets from gaining the intellectual of the German scientists (who preferred being captured by the Americans) and using it against the Americans, and because none of the Germans captured were explicitly complicit in the Final Solution and none were guilty of war crimes to the extent that they would be tried alongside the major war criminals at Nuremberg. Historical Context: In the aftermath…

    Type 2 diabetes is slowly progressing as one of the more prevalent diseases within the United States, commonly due to socioeconomic problems. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with insulin injections as well as exercise to control weight loss. An herbal remedy known as bilberry has been used to control blood sugar levels. Bilberry is also known as; European blueberry, huckleberry, vaccimium myrtillus, and vaccinium corymbosum.¹ Bilberry ranked fourth as the most common remedy to improve glycaemic control in hyperglycaemic subjects with or without a diagnosis consisting of impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes.² Bilberry is more commonly known for improving vision in individuals with diabetes but has also been researched to improve blood glucose and controlling type 2 diabetes; due to its anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering effects.³ In regards to diabetes and insulin control, bilberry has been used to control blood sugar levels because they contribute to lowering glucose response after the consumption of a high sugar meal.

    The Enigma of the 20th Century “Send the U-Boat to (51° 15' 43", -6° 45' 4"); attack at 15:00.” This could have been a message that was ciphered using a secret code during times of war. Cryptography, the study of securely coding messages, has been around for thousands of years (The Enigma Machine Explained). It started out with pencil-and-paper codes, made of substituting letters for each other in the alphabet. Then, there were more geometric codes, relying on using grids to write out messages and then writing down the letters in order of the rows or columns.…
