Though both set in dystopian futures, the societies in Brave New World and Matched vary immensely. To illustrate, Brave New World consists of a society focused on technology. A particular scientific method of egg fertilization serves as a foundation of the World State, as Huxley describes as a (1) “Major instrument of social stability” (18; ch. 1). This quotation shows that citizens of the World State rely heavily on technology before they are even born. On the other hand, the society in…

which stimulates the release of enzymes (exocrine) and hormones (endocrine). Inside of the pancreas are the islets of Langerhans which have four hormone-secreting cells: alpha, beta, delta and F cells (McCance & Huether, 2014). Alpha cells are responsible for secreting glucagon. Beta cells secrete insulin and amylin. Delta cells secrete gastrin and somatostatin. Lastly, F cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide which stimulates gastric secretion. All of these hormones regulate carbohydrate, fat,…

The aspiration of any government is to control the people they govern in an effort to make their territory run smoothly. This notion is nothing new. The problem arises, however, when the methods of said control question morality. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, hypnopædia, sex, and soma are all government instituted methods that keep the World State a well orchestrated, highly regulated, functioning machine. Instead of pleasant lullabies or sweet-nothings from mom and dad, children in the…

Desmin St. so they turned there. When they started driving through the old rusted town Jessica and Kelly started to get a little nervous. They asked the boys if they were in the right town and no one answered them. Then they saw a sign that said Delta Hotel so they turned there. Once…

Michel Bay’s film, The Island, is unique in the sense that movies aren’t similar in any genre. The characters Lincoln six echo and Jordan two delta are considered average citizens living in a very controlled environment. They are told what to eat, what to drink, when to wake up, and what to do for a living. The hardest thing to believe is that they are not allowed to ask questions. The Island, directed by Michael Bay tells a story about two characters that dare to question the world around…

ap to bind with dLDB therefore inactivating ap. When apterous induces expression of Serrate and Fringe genes, it represses the Delta. Ap also subsequently induces expression of dLMO which then reduces ap activity levels that allows the expression of Delta and leads to the down regulation of Serrate and Fringe. The overexpression of Serrate and reduced expression of Delta when there is a loss of dLMO leads to the defects in wing development. The phenotypes showing wing deformities are due to the…

the two are the origin in which each genre was brought up. The genre of country blues was developed amongst the rural areas of the deep south. There were many individual artists that had spanned over the Mississippi delta of New Orleans creating a style of country blues called delta blues. Some of the more well-known artists include Robert Johnson who recorded “Cross Road Blues” in 1936 (Week 1 Lecture pg. 22), and Son House who was known for his slide guitar playing and the stirring emotions he…

 Measurements The LifeShirt, a lightweight shirt made by VivoMetrics with built-in sensors capable of measuring respirational activity, heart rate, and subject posture and activity levels, among other things, was used to measure heart rate (HR) and RSA. RSA is used to determine automatic “cardiac control” by the brain in a subject and is a measurement of changes in heart rate during a respiratory period. HR and RSA were measured every five minutes between the introduction of the subjects to the…

Out of the numerous truths, his most powerful example is “In the 1990s and 2000, Phi Delta Theta … lost three members to alcohol” (Hechinger 5). Any death should be a wake up call and with additional deaths mentioned even to the three that occurred in Phi Delta Theta, Hechinger effectively evokes an emotional response. However, facts also play exclusively into the logos appeal. Hechinger does not limit evidence to people’s…

gene leads to all of the consequences of CF. Over more than 70% of CF patients have the same defect with their CTFR gene, known as delta F508. In, DNA chemical letters called nucleotides, can be arranged or can be mutated, The sequence of the nucleotides are affected in CF by point mutations, where the gene is mutated only at a certain small spot along its length. Delta-F508 has a drastic change on the genes, this mutation the loss of one “letter” in the lengths, the defective gene and one good…
