a stressed system. Thus through comparing assemblage similarities between replicates in a stressed system, the average similarity are higher due to the loss of diversity and greater influence of the remaining habitat generalists and intermediates (Cao and Epifanio…

Abstract In this study equilibrium isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics of ciprofloxacin on seven sediments in a batch sorption process were examined. The effects of contact time, initial ciprofloxacin concentration, temperature and ionic strength on the sorption process were studied. The Kd parameter from Linear sorption model was determined by linear regression analysis, while the Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) sorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms by…

COPD is a disease characterized by chronic airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation in COPD is usually progressive and is associated with an inflammatory response of the lungs (Haggerty, 2013). The pathological changes that indicate COPD include an increase in mucus producing cells, chronic inflammation in different parts of the lung, and structural changes that result from a persistent cycle of destruction and repair. Many parts of the lungs are affected,…

and her mother, based on language. Other writers such as Jhumpa Lahiri examine the experience of immigrants in America. She uses her short stories, Mrs. Sen’s and The Third and Final Continent in the author’s collection, Interpreter of Maladies. Lan Cao and Chitra Banerjee also examine the challenges of immigration in their texts; The Gift of Language and Clothes, respectively.…

Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), universally referred to as lime water or slaked lime is formed by reacting hydrated lime (calcium oxide, CaO) with water (H2O)[1] CaO (s) + H2O (l) ⇌ Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr = −63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) Calcium hydroxide is an economically favorable alkaline reagent to neutralize acid as it yields 2 moles of (OH)2 for every 1 mole of Ca(OH)2 (which is slightly soluble in water) when compared to sodium hydroxide [1] and it may separate from the solution ‘constant agitation must…

The fall of Saigon began in a battle in Banmethuot on March-11, the Southern anchor of Saigon’s defense in the central highlands. Facing the prospect of an imminent shut-down of US military aid, President Nguyen-Van-Thieu of South Vietnam, gave orders to abandon Banmethuot. All South Vietnamese forces would withdraw to coastal cities, using an abandoned logging road which had no bridges and no ferries. That was the worse military strategy of a long war, and would caused a military and political…

Kill A Mockingbird. In the scene, Atticus wakes up Scout and Jem and tells them to get out of the house, because there is a fire. Once the family is outside, neighbors are pictured taking furniture out of Mrs. Maudie’s burning house. Along with the caos, Atticus helps to push the town fire truck towards the neighborhood and the rest help each other to get out of the house. All of this unfolds while Jem and Scout stand outside the Radley’s house, watching from a…

Romantic decisions that are based on “true love” is a strong American cultural concept. In contrast, Chinese parents remain actively involved in their adult children’s mate selection processes and marital lives (Cao 104) through various means. Parental involvement and pressure intimidates the youth to cease relations with someone if their parents disapproved. Additionally, one of the enduring cultural traits is “xiao,” which, in the most basic sense, refers to…

The Origins of Daoism It is explained in three different theories listed below. Attitudinal Daoism I: Anarchism Attitudinal Daoism II: Authoritarian Intuitionism Pre-Laozi Daoist Theory Much of the thrust of Daoism, as we have seen, naturally motivates a reaction against the moralistic and elitist inclinations of Confucianism. Confucianism stood for a rigid, detailed, traditional pattern of hierarchical social behavior. Duties were assigned to all of one's social roles—and a person typically…

The Han Dynasty had 3 main religions: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Taoism started in the 6th century by Lao-Tzu. He recorded his own teachings into a book called the Tao Ti Ching. Taoism means living in harmony with Tao, or “the way” or “path” or “principle”. Taoism also focused on the Three Treasures: compassion, moderation, and humility. Lao-Tzu stated that everyone should be one with nature. He also believed that all living things have a universal force flowing through them. He created…
