During the following two days, July 12 and 13, an additional eight inches of rain fell but in a very short period of time. This amount of rain within such a short period of time resulted in a flood of unprecedented proportions for the South Carolina Botanical Garden. The devastation that occurred to the plants, animals, and…

To fully understand the way organizations function, Ray Fisman and Tim Sullivan examine nearly all the components involved in creating a successful operation. In the second chapter Fisman and Sullivan (F&S) discuss the development and designing of jobs.

has become confused and this is not her usual baseline. As sepsis causes a wide spread inflammatory response in the body, the membranes of the brain become irritated and activate cerebral endothelial cells, resulting in the dysfunction of the blood brain barrier. This dysfunction allows proinflammatory mediators into the brain and can cause swelling of the brain tissue. As the blood brain barrier increases in permeability, toxic and infectious substances can easily enter the brain, causing…

The functionalist perspective is among the first sociological theory posited that has influenced sociologists of every perspective. While many early sociologists felt an overreaching need to shape a hypothesis that largely enveloped and sought to explain most of the social world, Emile Durkheim would pointedly state “it is too much to require that a science bound its subject matter with meticulous precision: for that sector of reality which it aims to study is never set apart from other sectors…

My sunburn lines between my shorts and socks symbolized the restless, tiring hours spent out on the field. Every Tuesday and Thursday, for two and a half hours, the sun scorched my body while my legs would scrape into the ground. The cluster consisted of the seniors’ looming bodies that would go shoulder to shoulder against my own freshman self as our feet would battle for control.

This is the case for all autoimmune diseases; it’s hard to determine what causes one’s immune system to turn on itself. Saunders states that one theory is that a virus triggers the immune system dysfunction, leading to MS. There also appears to be a genetic factor, though it is not a hereditary disease.
