Was Serpico an outsider? If so, how not why? Frank Serpico was not initially an outsider when he joined the NYPD. His drive to be a plain clothed officer however, distanced him from traditional uniformed officers. Many officers found Serpico’s methods and personality unusual and off putting. His free spirited nature even caused one officer to think he was gay. 2) If so, was he an outsider by choice? If not, why not? To some extent he was an outsider by choice. Being an under cover, plain…

Theodore Dalrymple, a doctor from Britain that worked in prisons and hospitals for 14 years, spent several years during the course of his work touring the world. During his travels, Dalrymple witnessed abundant malevolent behavior. In Central America, he witnessed a civil war where there was complete tyranny over the society and armies that did not even think twice about massacring. In Equatorial Guinea, he saw malicious dictators who killed or exiled one-third of the population just for wearing…

against a third party that includes any related claims. During the discovery stage of a lawsuit, parties exercise the right to obtain evidence that may be held by the other parties involved. Evidence is obtained through written discovery and depositions. Requests for information, interrogatories, requests for admissions, demands for inspection, etc. are all completed during the discovery stage. If a party involved fails to provide appropriate and timely responses during discovery they can be…

The period from the 1940s to the 1950s saw the development of Indian termination policy in the United States, which was an effort to diminish the relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes, as well as to assimilate Native Americans into the majority of American society. Beginning in 1954, Congress enacted 46 new laws that terminated tribes across the country. One of these laws, titled the Western Oregon Indian Termination Act (also known as Public Law 588), impacted a total…

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) – the most common form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia – is a chronic, progressive fibrotic lung disease that affects older adults. IPF is characterized by a continuing decline in lung function, poor survival, and limited therapeutic options. The invasive proliferation of fibrous tissue and scarring of the interstitium lead to a decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) (Richeldi et al. 2014). IPF has a poor prognosis; the median survival for the disease is…

creatinine, urea and BUN in ethylene glycol (0.75%) induced urolithic rats. It also enhanced the urine pH, volume and magnesium content. The anti-urolithic activity was further evidenced by the histological evaluation, that is, decrease in the deposition of crystals in the kidney sections, tubular dilatation and necrosis. Soundararajan et al. (2006) study on the effect of Aerva lanata aqueous suspension reduced the urinary levels of stone promoters such as oxalate, calcium, uric acid,…

In the 14th century, a new disease emerged which soon to be was named “Black Death”. Theories speculate that it originated within central Asia or Northern India. Nonetheless, the disease created wide struck panic throughout Europe. Infectious waves occurred within Europe between 1347 and 1400 killing 25 – 50 million people. During this dark era, people ran like beheaded poultry in fear. No religious officials or medical physicians could truly grasp the concept of the plague. The plague was…

a) Why do you think is it important to put the bundles of asparagus in water? /1 It is important to put the bundles of asparagus in water. This is because the asparagus will wilt with its water source (the roots) removed. By putting the asparagus’ cut bottoms into water, water will be transported through its vascular tissue systems to the stems and leaves. Then, the asparagus will be able to photosynthesize with the water supply, sunlight, and carbon dioxide, and make food to function. Then,…

Flexible nature and high surface-to-volume ratio makes monolayer-MoS2 a novel paradigm for tunable gas sensing devices. However, for further improvement in the performance of these devices, a new design strategy is essential to modulate the sensitivity of inert MoS2 basal plane. Here, we demonstrate from first-principles calculations that the gas adsorption properties of monolayer-MoS2 can be modulated through MoS antisite doping and strain. The antisite doped MoS defect with highly localized…

Critique of “Wind Power Puffery” In his article, “Wind Power Puffery”, H. Sterling Burnett argues that the advantages of wind power are grossly exaggerated and often cause more harm than good. Burnett, an expert in America on environmental issues, has obtained a Ph.D. in philosophy and a B.A. in cultural anthropology. He mainly writes opinion based articles about current environmental and energy topics and wrote this article to express his opinion on wind generated energy. Supporters of using…
