“An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind” were the words of the wise Mahatma Gandhi. In no where else is this more so proven than in the American criminal justice system. Our definition of justice is often measured by how long a sentence or how large a fine is and how it relates to the corresponding crime. Some people can get prison time, fines, and even sentenced to death as a punishment for the crimes they have committed. This state sponsored death as punishment is a tactic used to…

*Boom, boom, boom* The ball pounds against the ground then returns to the hand of the player. He looks behind his shoulder, only one second left. The player releases the ball from the tips of his fingers as it zooms towards the open man. He hops off the ground, ball above his head, perfect form. The sideline goes still. Watchful eyes of the fans gaze upon the drifting ball. “BWAAAAAAH!” The buzzer blares as the ball drops towards the rim. *SWOOSH*. The stadium erupts as the players run across…

1.5. Enzyme-Polysaccharide Interactions Proteins and enzymes have become an integral part of many industrial processes as well as being applied both in cosmetics and in therapeutics. Due to advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering, mass production of protein and enzymes has become feasible. Use of enzymes is environmentally friendly as they catalyse reactions under mild conditions against polluting inorganic catalysts which works in the extremes of pH and temperature. However, this can…

The constructivist turn in IR marks a shift from the material determinants of international politics to ideational factors, such as beliefs, ideas, and norms. The two dominant theoretical schools in IR, neorealism and neoliberal institutionalism (NLI), share several key assumptions regarding the anarchic nature of the international system, states are self-interested, rational actors, driven by material interests in power/survival (neorealists) or security (NLI). In addition, neorealism and NLI…

can continue to be exposed to extremely high X-ray radiation, as high as 570,000 rads. They appear unaffected by very high pressures or vacuum. These animals can handle temperatures over 150° Celcius down to 272.8° Celcius, which is close to absolute zero. They can undergo freezing, then thawing, then frozen again, and seemingly return to their normal state. These animals can be exposed to high salt concentrations, noxious chemicals, lack of water or dehydration, and even boiling alcohol.…

4.1 The GABC Approach for Image Segmentation The GABC is the Genetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm. The proposed algorithm is the implementation of ABC algorithm with the key concept of GA technique.The GABC is actually the hybrid approach of Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm and the Genetic Algorithm.In this method we extend Genetic Algorithm with Artificial Bee Colony operators i:e Employed Bees and Onlooker Bees to improve the solution space named as Genetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm…

Beyond the Wall is a vast icy wasteland haunted with unknown terrors and secrets. There is freedom but there is a price-living is harsh, the gods are cruel, and the odds are stacked against you. Craster has mastered the art of survival in this cold wilderness and managed to carved out a place for himself and his family. He’s a shrewd and resourceful man who never shared his secret to success. Many aspects of his life remain a mystery yet one thing is certain: there is, at least, one mantle up…

Research is a rigorous and systematic method of enquiry, which intends to define phenomena and expands new theories concepts (Polit and Beck, 2011). Moreover research process includes activities which consist of steps such as data collection, analysis, research question and conclusion (Maltby et al. 2010). Fundamentally in relation to nursing practice research process contributes to a systematic way of producing evidence to encourage good practice. Therefore, to use the research process to go…
