“A Nuclear North Korea and Prospects for the Korean Economy: An International Business Perspective” is written by Yoon-Shik Park, PhD & DBA Professor of International Finance, George Washington University, Washington, D.C. This paper was presented at The Joint Annual Conference 2007 of ICKS-KAUPA on Impending Changes on the Korean Peninsula and The Future of U.S.-Korean Relations. The author’s main argument is that due to the economic state of North Korea, which has been on the decline since…

This year in the United States of America more than eight million athletes will compete in an organized high school sport. Of this eight million only 460,000 will go on to compete at the NCAA level and of those 460,000 only 1% will compete in the Division I sector. (George, 2013) “Being the 1 percenter”, as many athletes call it, is a goal that millions of high school athletes have. They dream of playing on the court or field surrounded by thousands of fans and being televised all over the…

Charts were created from a cumulated pool of planarian research. Dead and missing planaria were not included in the data pool. Discussion: After undergoing the regeneration process Planaria had varying responses. This study concluded that the majority of planaria retain the learning process after regeneration, this statement is especially relevant in the head regenerated planaria. Before the experiment, a hypothesis was made that the head end would retain the classical conditioning and the tail…

increased with age, correspondingly, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder. Cancer is defined as a disease in which a collection of abnormal cells divides uncontrollably by ignoring the normal principles of cell division. There is known to be more than 200 types of cancers and its two main characteristics are uncontrolled growth of the cells in the human body and the ability of these cells to migrate from the original site and spread to distant sites. On the…

Stem cells are cells that have the ability to divide indefinitely in a culture and give rise to specialized cells. They can be harvested from human embryos and it is therein the controversy lies. The morality of the process is called into question because there is a divide between people who think that life begins at fertilization and people who think that life begins at birth. This paper will delve into the details of embryonic stem cell research as well as argue that, while some disagreement…

Scientists began to research and study stem cells when they found what they could do in salamanders; because salamanders have the ability to regenerate their tails after being ripped off, scientists thought that maybe the same regenerating tissue ( stem cells ) could be used in humans as well. This means injuries, such as fractures, can be fixed by placing these cells to the site of the injury. The stem cells build themselves up and fix the break by regeneration and multiplying; the damaged…

Imagine a world cancer free, no diabetes and heart disease, a world without Parkinson’s disease. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates between 1-1.5 million Americans are affected with the disease. A stem cell by definition is a cell that upon division replaces its own numbers and gives rise to cells that differentiate further into one or more specialized types. Scientists use the cells obtained from embryos to conduct the research in finding possible cures for these diseases. Therein…

“Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson's and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer.” This quote, said by Stephen Hawking, explains just one of the possibilities of stem cells in the future yet to be uncovered. Stem cells are commonly known as the “building blocks” of our bodies. They are the foundation of development in plants, animals, and humans. Most stem cells are able to transform into more than 200 types of cells,…

Embryonic Stem cell research has killed many kids and more to come if we do not stop it. Stem cell research can be done with a stem cell from embryos, fetuses, and adult cells. The National Institutes of Health researched to see which would be easiest to use in laboratories. They found out that embryos would be the easiest because they will stay in a underfered state longer than the other cells will. Which means that they are not classified as any type of cell. Stem cell research kills humans,…

On January 11th 2016, Alabama football coach, Nick Saban, won his 4th national championship for Alabama. The University of Alabama is projected to make well over $100 million dollars, solely from the success of the football team this season. Commonly referred to as Nick Satan and the Nicktator due to his charming personality, Saban is scheduled to make more than $7 million dollars just this year. Derrick Henry, the Heisman winning running back who carried the ball over 400 times this year will…
