Exponential function

Prior to the Great Depression, government policies related to economics were based on a policy called laissez-faire (“What Is Fiscal Policy?”). This French theory idealizes a smaller government role, arguing that the country would function more efficiently without government surveillance ("Laissez Faire Definition | Investopedia"). Popular in the 18th century around the globe, colonists opposed monarchical government and British rule, employing instead ideas of small government (“What Is…

cells obtain from fetus by amniocentesis,etc. 5.Detection of infectious diseases; Example: tuberculosis,AIDS. Principles of gene therapy. The aim of gene therapy is to introduce the transgenes or gene into appropriate target cells to restore normal function, therefore, treating and preventing the disease .Similar technologies are being used in gene immunotherapy and DNA vaccines against cancer and other infectious diseases. For a long period of time, current focus with gene therapy is the need…

The aging population comes with a number of challenges - particularly that related with the degradation of bodily functions as we age. Organ systems begin to fail, and associated medical conditions can come about. Some common ones include diabetes, hypertension, cardiac pathologies including coronary artery disease. Cognitive decline also makes normal activities difficult - Parkinson's, Alzhiemer's etc. Notice that all of these pathologies mentioned are typically long-term issues - nothing that…

The mental health of the civilians is significantly affected by the consequences of war. Studies show that there is exponential increase in the occurrence of mental disorders. Women are usually more likely to have mental disorders than men in war situations. Another group of the society that is extremely affected by the war are children, the disabled, and the elderly. The rate of occurrence is directly related to the degree of trauma, and the emotional and physical support. There are certain…

loss. The results and consequences of this are not fully understood but can be seen in many areas and aspects of the world. There are many consequences of biodiversity loss at many different levels. Starting with ecosystems and how they naturally function, there are three main aspects that account for the consequences of biodiversity loss. Species richness, species composition and species…

Introduction We are currently being faced with a third industrial revolution comprised by the exponential changes in technology and digital advancement. The past two industrial revolution have created new economic opportunities and have ultimately made the global economy what it is today. Mass jobs have been created, new ideas have spread, and businesses have boomed due to the two main revolutionary advancements in history. The current problem with the technology wave is that there are far too…

polyacrylate possesses a unique chemical property: the ability to absorb incredible amounts of water. It can absorb 300 to 800 times its weight in water (Superabsorbent Polymers). Industrial chemists have taken advantage of the polymer’s special function, and have incorporated it into dozens of different products. In fact, the industry behind superabsorbent polymers is expected to grow to $8.78 billion by 2020 (Superabsorbent Polymer Market 17). This is due to the fact that within the past two…

Best-First search where the evaluation function, f(n) is the same as the heuristics function, h(n) (JONES, 2008). Therefore in order to properly discuss Beam search, there is the need for a brief introduction to Best-First algorithm. The Best-First search traverses a tree from top to bottom and searches for nodes on the same level first before descending to the next level. Nodes on the search frontier (nodes on the same level) are selected based on some evaluating function that is defined…

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease. The cancer I will be researching is brain cancer. The reason why I chose to research this is because I have always been interested in working in the medical field, but I didn’t know what particular area. I started to do research on different types of doctors. The one that interested me the most was Neurosurgeons. Neurosurgeons are doctors who specialize in surgery on the brain and spinal column. The brain is…

Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) refers to the change in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in response to a vasoactive stimulus (Kety and Schmidt, 1948). Impaired CVR has been linked with many cerebral and cerebrovascular pathologies (Glodzik et al., 2013; Greenberg, 2006a; Han et al., 2008; Mandell et al., 2008c; Mikulis et al., 2005; Yezhuvath et al., 2012; Zhao et al., 2007), to study the effects of drugs on cerebral vasculature (Pattinson et al., 2007; St Lawrence et al., 2002) and also presurgical…
