Arctic tundra The Arctic Tundra is found nearly everywhere in the North. They are found mostly in the arctic. The categorization of a tundra falls between a taiga and the ice caps. The zone is controlled by the extremes in the weather. In the arctic tundra there are two seasons: winter and summer. In the summer, the sun is present almost 24 hours a day. This amount of sun only warms up the tundra to a range of about 3°C to 12°C. In the winter, the lighting conditions are flipped. For example,…

his arrest, Ulbricht was the founder and the operator of the notorious, and highly illegal Silk Road Market, operating deep within the internet, which is not accessible by standard search engines, nor is indexed by these search engines. The arrest have sparked a nationwide interest, and introduced a variety of new terms, unknown to most computer users, the new expressions are deep web, dark web, Tor Network, and many others.

DOCUMENTARY REFLECTION. Your brain and your body don’t need to be the same place. What are the implications of this idea and where do you see the future of cyborg technology taking us? Consider this question from multiple categories and come up with examples of each: social, military, crime, medical. If you look at the history of human culture, most of our technology was created with the purpose of making something easier. But recently we’ve been moving in a new direction, instead of creating…

being 60 to 61 years (Duvoisin, 1984). This disease affects about 1% of the population over the age of 60 and is more common in men than women (Gulli & Davidson, 2011). The cause of Parkinson’s disease is tissue death in the movement centers of the brain that secrete dopamine (Ford-Martin, Alic, & Cloos, 2009). The reason for this loss is unknown. It has been speculated that there is a “genetic component that predisposes some people to develop the disease when exposed to certain environmental…

Meaning the results produced by Parkinson’s will continue and worsen throughout time. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (2014) have verified that, there are no known causes of Parkinson’s disease, researchers and scientists have accumulated statistics that leads to genetics and environmental factors that affect Parkinson’s disease. Such as,…

Deep Brain Stimulation Implantation Deep brain stimulation implantation is a procedure to insert a device that will send an electrical current to an area of the brain that is causing problems. This may be done to treat various medical conditions, such as: • Parkinson disease. • Essential tremor. • Epilepsy. • Inherited disorders of muscle movement (dystonias). • Cluster headaches. • Multiple sclerosis. • Obsessive-compulsive disorder. • Depression. The DBS device generates…

(a) ECO-CRITICISM Eco-criticism originated in a bio-social context of unrestrained capitalism, excessive exploitation of nature and worrying shapes of environmental hazards. It sees how a ‘literary text’ contributes into the ‘construction’ of nature and the politics of development (Nayar, 241). Eco-criticism focuses on the link between literature and nature. Raymond Williams in his ‘The Country and the City’(1973) elegantly argued how English Literature contributed to specific notions of nature…

After Keiler examines Bernstein’s logical fallacies, he dismantles Bernstein’s claims of the harmonic series as basis for all music. He writes that even the “simple diatonic scale requires…gross adjustment” (Keiler, 208). This is indeed true, with the fourth being 29 cents flat, the third 14 cents flat, and the seventh 12 cents flat (as compared to equal temperament tuning). Keiler also says the diatonic scale reaches into the outermost limits of the harmonic series. This is again factual, since…
