I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

He may have learned this watching his father skip meals, even though he is diabetic, so the rest of the family will have more food. His mother and father have also taken in his nephew Joey, and his cousin Roberto who is undocumented and unable to contribute much to the household because of his ill health and rudimentary English skills. These examples may have taught him that you do what you must for family above all else. But family assistance can become a negative in a difficult family…

Venus Express: Payload, Mission Goals and Venusian Discoveries L. B. Breitenfeld Introduction: In November of 2002, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that their first mission to the planet Venus, titled Venus Express, would launch in 2005 (Abbott and Schiermeier, 2002; Hoofs et al., 2009). The Russian Soyuz-Fregat launcher in Baikonur Kazakhstan on November 9th 2005, launched Venus Express into space (Fabrega et al. 2007). After traveling a distance of 440 million km, Venus Express…

There are many different categories of paradigms in the nursing profession. However, there is one paradigm that I identify with the most and it belongs to Newman’s paradigm categories: the unitary- transformative paradigm. In this paper, I will be describing the nursing paradigm of unitary- transformative. Additionally, in my own words I will describe the metaparadigm concepts of person, environment, health/healing and nursing. Furthermore, to better understand the unitary- transformative…

cousins and dancing to the salsa music booming next door. Roller skating to the queens library and licking the melted Carvel ice cream off of my tiny hands. Singing on stage in Central Park for the first time. Climbing the top of the metal globe in Corona Park. These are the moments that defined my halcyon days. The moments that taught me anything is possible. These days were made up of firsts and millionths. The first time eating lasagna and the millionth time eating a shish kabob on 42nd…

Effects of Substance Abuse in Adolescence Brain Development Erik Erikson’ psychosocial model of development, occurs in eight different stages. According to Erikson’s theory successful passage through each stage, ensures positive ability to develop and communicate with others. Unsuccessful development of a stage will create delay in later stages. However, transition through these stages can be accomplished at another time. According to Erikson the adolescence stage, occurs during the ages of…

SCORPIUS Scorpius, also known as Scorpio. Its name is Latin for Scorpion. It lies between Libra to the west and Sagittarius to the east. Scorpius is a large constellation in the southern hemisphere near the centre of the Milky Way. In Greek mythology, Scorpion was sent by Artemis, the goddess of hunting and her mother, Leto, to protect all the creatures since Orion said that he would kill all the creatures on the earth. After a battle, Scorpion killed Orion. Later, Zeus sent Scorpion into…

Francis (1959). "The Early Space Age") During the competition against each other, the United States and the Soviet Union were secretly spying on each other, taking advantage of the satellites they put in orbit to take pictures of their projects. Corona, a U.S. satellite, took over 800,000 pictures of the Soviet Union from 1960 to 1972. Right after its creation, NASA developed the mercury project. The project’s main objective was to send the first American into space. NASA selected a small group…

Clouds are a standout amongst the most captivating sights to find in the sky. A cloud is a dense type of environmental moisture comprising of little water droplets or minor ice crystals. Clouds represent a crucial stride in the water cycle (Langmuir, I. 2000). This incorporates the vanishing of moisture from the surface of the earth, the conveying of the moisture into more elevated amounts of the climate, the buildup of water vapor into cloud masses, and the arrival of water to the surface as…

The past decade has seen the rapid development of iris identification in many approaches to identify unique iris features such as crypts. However, it is noted that, unique iris feature change due to iris aging, diet or human health conditions. The changing of iris features creates the mismatch in comparison phase to determine either genuine or not genuine. Therefore, to determine genuinely, this study proposes a new model of iris recognition using combinational approach of a split block and…
