It is vital to make federal institutions more accessible to the impoverished population in order to strive toward social inclusion. Many American’s who fall beneath the poverty line restrain from seeking federal aid due to the complicated path of receiving financial relief. In 1996, the Welfare Reform Act was passed and on the surface seemed to present a wide variety of benefits and provisions for those who rely on welfare. According to reports, within three years of the reforms existence…

Reflection on: “‘They Never Did Me Any Good’: Welfare-To-Work Programs From the Vantage Point of Poor Women”. The article first provided an overview of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconsolidation Act (PRWORA), and described it as a governmental attempt to reduce the dependency on welfare. In class we have discussed the Welfare-to-Workfare programs, which creates precarious jobs—underpaid, temporary, with little to no benefits. While the program aims to help individuals…

In his Time magazine article, One Nation On Welfare, Living Your Life On The Dole, Michael Grunwald compares how his family uses subsidized materials to what people on governmental programs receive. I found it very interesting how he mentions that the water he uses to shower and the clothes he wears, even the cereal he eats, are all subsidized by the government. I had never really given it much thought before just how much of everyday items that we depend on, may not exist without the help…

Topic: Sustainability-O’Hare Modernization Program The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) created the Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM) to ensure sustainability in the areas like design, construction, planning etc. SAM is often seen as a guidebook by several other airports around the world to build and operate environment friendly airport. SAM in case of O’Hare incorporates keeping construction waste out of landfills, soil reuse, install green roofs etc. The major points covered by SAM is as…

views that green space has to offer. The trees and vegetation efficiently create shades that will reduce the heat island effect, and can potentially clear and improve the atmosphere. In other words, green space comes into question on how Leander can benefit from the advantages of green space. The natural elements of a green space can unconsciously affect an individual’s physical and mental…

Immunoprecipitation and Sequencing (ChIP-seq) of Heat Shock Factor (HSF) Temporal Binding Sites during the Critical Period of 8-12 Hr After Egg Lay (AEL) in Drosophila melanogaster Embryogenesis Background Heat Shock Response was discovered by the Italian scientist Ferrucio Ritossa, when he saw puffs in the Drosophila polytene chromosome on inducing them with heat. It was later discovered that this Heat Shock Response was regulated by a transcription factor called Heat Shock Factor (HSF). The…

Heat of Combustion of Magnesium Hypothesis: Hess’s law states that “the enthalpy change for the conversion of reactants to products is the same whether the conversion occurs in one step or several steps” (DiGiuseppe et al,2012,p.314 ). A series of two experiments will perform in this lab in order to find ΔH1 and ΔH2 . In addition, ΔH3 will be obtained by reference. It is predicted that the combustion of magnesium will have a negative enthalpy, since combustion is an exothermic reaction. Also…

Overall, these properties allow it to: provide habitats for animals; transport substances around organisms; regulate and participate in cell reactions and help animals maintain a constant blood temperature. Water’s small size is important for plants as it is able to diffuse by osmosis into plant cells which creates turgor as the vacuole swells pressing against the cell wall. This pressure helps plants stand up straight and not wilt causing death As water is lost by transpiration from the…

Urban trees provide a wide range of environmental, ecological, social, cultural and economic benefits. However, as natural objects, they are constantly under stress, and living in an unnatural habitat, which will primarily affect the tree crown. In this study, the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH), Crown Live Ratio (LCR), Crown Dieback (CDBK), Crown Transparency (CT), and Crown Chlorosis (CC) of trees at University of Toronto – St. George campus were assessed by field measurements and Google…

The Heat Island Effect harms people in ways that have to be understood in order to make a change. In urban areas, the temperature can be from “1-12 C”(Allen, Kate) depending on how extreme the case is. Cities are much warmer than normal, and will affect people’s…
