Effect

in a delicate balance, yet a growing awareness of climate change and its impacts on the human population has plagued humankind recently. This anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases into our environment at a global scale is generating adverse effects. These conditions will yield significant penalties for the human populace and its demographic patterns. The secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon stated that in the twenty first century we are going to face a decrease in our…

recognized by the cognitive processes, only that information which is deemed relevant makes its way to working memory. (Wood 257) This explanation makes sense in both the context of dichotic listening source differentiation as well as the cocktail party effect. During a dichotic listening task, participants cannot remember information that they were not asked to focus on because it is effectively “dumped out” before it can be stored in working memory due to its irrelevance. On the reverse,…

Jalyn Prewitt HON 100 (Seminar) A higher power, whether of spirit or of nature, gifted all organisms one ever-changing opportunity to live a life fulfilled. This one opportunity provides every being with protection, sustainability, and growth. This single opportunity possesses the only known sources of life for galaxies around. This lone opportunity is our earth. Our earth has given us the resources needed to survive on essentially a floating incubator—providing all its inhabitants with warmth…

migration is a miracle of nature that provides an insight into the yearly population and the abundance of their species (OLWQS 2014). However, the salmon population has decreased in the past few decades due to the effects of global warming causing changes within the habitats they live in. Theses effects lead to issues such as suboptimal diets having caused a decrease in salmon health leading to death. Predators that turn towards a higher salmon diet to fulfill their needs as other prey are…

The question “are media in the United States politically biased?” has persisted for many decades. Findings on different media effects, such as the hostile media phenomenon, have helped work toward an answer to this long-lasting question. The hostile media phenomenon (HMP) is “the tendency for people who are highly involved in an issue to see news coverage of that issue as biased, particularly as biased against their own point of view” (Choi, Yang & Chang, 2009) Research regarding the existence…

able to focus their memory search on target list, instead the individuals include items from non-target list into their mental search (Kliegl, et al., 2015, p.1778). In Kliegl et al., (2015) study, the results for retrieval factors suggest that PI effects in recall totals and response latencies were uncorrelated meaning that recall totals and response latencies can be functionally independent. The electrophysiological activities during list encoding indicates that not only retrieval, but also…

Discovery as a process produces challenges, nevertheless can the impact of discovery be ultimately joyful? Simon Nasht’s documentary ‘Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History’ (TMWMH) and Richard Flanagan’s ‘The Narrow Road to The Deep North’ (‘Narrow Road’) reveal that although discovery can create joy for some, it does not necessarily mean joy for all. These texts expose that challenges evoke and emotional discovery that can range from fulfilment to despair, rediscovery is completed in the hope…

Introduction Although, in general, salts are known for their solubility, not all types of salts completely dissociate in water. Some of them partially dissociates and creates a dynamic equilibrium due to the instances when their ions recombine to form the original salts. An example of this is potassium hydrogen tartrate (KHC4H4O6 or KHT). When KHT is placed in water, it partially dissolves and forms K+ and HC4H4O6- ions. This reaction is shown below: KHC_4 H_4 O_6 (s)⇄ K^+ (aq)+HC_4 H_4 O_6^-…

And in doing so, neglect to provide or implement solutions to reverse the effects. Climate change is everywhere and the effect of it on humans and animals has proven to be disastrous over the years. Nevertheless, we seem to continue to do nothing about it. Is the reason because we fail to see global warming as a problem because we are not staring death…

Despite the history and trend of climate change, many individuals still believe that climate change is not real and have asked the prominent question, “How do we know it is real?” In the scientific journal titled Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis the author writes about the trend of Carbon Dioxide (Figure 1A), Methane (Figure 1B), and Nitrous Oxide (Figure 1C). In figure 1A, 1B, and 1C there is an increase in Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide respectively, within the last…
