When a person has no choice but to trust what they hear, news becomes a dangerous topic, or more accurately transforms from sure fact to discrete fabrications. Once people become complacent, there is no one to question whether the information people are being fed is truthful at all. It remains true to this day that “Because media is such a large part of people’s lives today...if...information is not being given in full or truthfully, then the society is left uneducated” (“Censorship Effects on…

Introduction Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a fatal disease that is characterized by the appearance of rapid aging in children. HGPS is rare, affecting roughly 1 in 8 million live births. HGPS can be identified by early symptoms that include slow development, limited growth, alopecia, localized scleroderma, and a distinct facial structure which includes a small face, shallow jaw, and pinched nose. As the disease progresses, new symptoms arise, such as hearing and vision loss…

Pediatric cancer is among the leading causes of death for children today. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "the most prevalent cancers seen in childhood are leukemia’s and brain and central nervous system cancer. Within the United States, these cancers account for the highest incidence and death rates among children today" (2014). Research shows genetic factors play a significant role in causing a variety of pediatric cancers. This paper will provide research and…

Religion is often turned to when one feels alone or fearful; however if no being has the capacity of feeling this way, then the comfort of religion is dispensable. In the science fiction novel, Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, there is a dictatorship run by ten world controllers, where former old-fashioned religion is dismissed and the people now worship the figurehead, Ford, who represents the rise in technology and capitalism. The plot unravels, though, as characters such as Bernard Marx,…

Milkman struggles with his own identity because the only culture his father passes down is of greed and misgony. Any knowledge of family history is passed on through the family values; “Macon Dead’s ability to dominate an impoverished black community in economic terms is mirrored in his overwhelming patriarchial authority within his household”(Murray, 128”). After Ruth tells a story of her embarrassing behaior at a wedding, Macon slaps her. Milkman first defends his mother until later when…

1. Introduction Plants are crucial to the health and wellness of humanity. Over thousands of years, in an attempt to establish themselves within a single region, early humans began to use cultivation techniques, which is now called agriculture. It was with the advent of farming - when men realized that planting seeds resulted in germination - that societies began to develop more than 12,000 years ago. Communities then started to grow plants to feed them, and over the years, they developed a…

The purpose of this paper is to outline the problem of the Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Full-Time Support TDA (FTSTDA) force structure process on AGR personnel and provide realistic solutions for improvement. As an AGR human resource professional in the Army Reserves over the last 9 years, a systemic problem across the AGR program is the Full-Time Support TDA (FTSTDA) force structure changes implementation or Overlay. The Overlay implements the force structure changes for the next fiscal year…

What is Tay-Sachs Disease Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that was first witnessed by Waren Tay in 1881. The disease is named after Waren Tay and Bernard Sachs, both contributed to the discovery of the disease in the late 1800’s. Tay witnessed a “cherry-red” spot on the on the retina of the eye, which is a spot observed when the fovea’s center is surrounded by a white halo. Bernard Sachs witnessed that the disease was mostly prevalent in the Ashkenazi Jewish…

Project Summary Hypothesis Statement: The Atypical Protein Kinase C Zeta (PKMz) is the molecular mechanism underlying Long Term Potentiation (LTP) maintenance at the synaptic membrane. Furthermore, this process is regulated at the level of translation of a locally available pool of PKMz mRNA, and can be sustained in part by active PKMz itself, or inhibited via an activity-dependent translation block. Significance: If the effects of a true PKMz conditional knockout result in memory impairments…

Lung cancer is one of most common cancer in the United States and worldwide. Furthermore, there are two types of lung cancer: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and Small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The most common type is NSCLC. There are three main subtypes of NSCLC: squamous cells, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. The number one cause of lung cancer is smoking cigarettes but there are also other factors that cause lung cancer such as exposure to radon gas, asbestos, genetics, and air…
