For example, an advocate for the homeless was quoted saying that over 3 million Americans were homeless, which would be 1 of every 100 people. This advocate later admitted that this stat was made up, because he did not want to not be able to answer the journalists looking for answers. His self-interest led him to lie (Levitt & Dubner, 2009, p. 87). Advertising is another way of spreading conventional…

Ultrasound is being tested as an alternative in enzymatic inactivation (Geckeler, 2009). Since 60 years ago ultrasound has been observed to be an efficient method in enzyme inactivation. Ultrasound in enzymatic inactivation can be coupled with other methods of enzyme inactivation such as heat and pressure (Geckeler,…

Nora D. Volkow has conducted extensive research exploring the effects of various drugs on the systems within the brain (Stanford, 2009). One of Dr. Volkow’s studies on cocaine addicts revealed that even after 100 days of abstinence, frontal cortical areas of the brain were still exhibiting extreme levels of disruption (Volkow, 2004). The results of this research strengthen the disease…

around them, also known as “social speech” (Cook & Cook, 2009, 173). In the rhyming lesson, social speech occurs when the children work in groups and partner pairs.

He loved outdoor life, and enjoyed hunting with the…

this task is the chorda tympani. The chorda tympani is a branch of cranial nerves the sends information from the taste receptors of the tongue to the brain (Wolfe, et al; 2009). Another area responsible for taste is the foilate papillae. These are the folds of tissues on the tongue that contain the taste buds (Wolfe, et al; 2009) Another important area responsible for a person’s sense of taste is the orbitofrontal cortex. The orbitofrontal cortex has a lot of…

the cash flow statement, and the balance sheet (Siegel & Yacht, 2009, p. 42). Each financial statement has its advantages and disadvantages. Each one is unique and presents different features, however, they are all useful in financial planning, and they build on each other.

Siegel and Yacht (2009) state that: “the income statement summarizes incomes and…

support Margot in building positive reciprocal relationships with staff, and developing a strong sense of identity and belonging within the centre; as she is able to see herself interacting and participating in the centre’s routine (DEEWR, 2009; Doherty and Hughes, 2009).

Consequently, this resource is an effective way to help support…

Westergren and two of his friends launched a company out of San Francisco called Savage Beast, which would later become Pandora (Pozen & Rosenfeld, 2009). Pandora was powered by the Music Genome Project. The Music Genome Project is a music discovery engine, and each song in the project’s library was analyzed by Pandora employees (Pozen & Rosenfeld, 2009). Pandora spent time and money building up their musical library in the project so that customers were enabled to listen to songs that were…
