the process of the greenhouse effect which is supposed to keep the Earth from being too hot or cold. Unfortunately, the amount of these gases in the atmosphere has increased due to human activity and this in turn is causing the planet to become warmer over time. As a result, ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising, and flowers are blooming earlier. Why? As our planet is suffering from global warming, climates are changing at a global, regional, and even local level. What human activities…

area, affecting brain regions such as the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, medial prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex, all involved in reward processing (Siddiqui et al., 2008). Research suggests that there is increased activity of neural pathways that use dopamine during adolescence. Some studies propose that there are actually lower baseline levels of dopamine in the brain, but there is a bigger release of dopamine in response to a rewarding/exciting situation. This explains why…

personalities vary. The average treatment length for PTSD patients is thirty-two months.There are also many factor that improve patients chances for a full recovery such as, prompt treatment, early and ongoing support from family, and friends, a high level of functioning before the frightening event, and an absence of alcohol or substance abuse. While most patients recover from PTSD, thirty percent of patients never completely recover (Hodgkins, 2015). There are also factors that can help…

variety of in vivo models. The gene transcripts level of VEGF is stimulated at the time of implantation because process of implantation occurs under hypoxic condition. In rodents, VEGF is involved during embryo–endometrium crosstalk by regulating endothelial cell proliferation and vascular permeability of endothelial cells at implantation sites in rodents (Rabbani and Rogers, 2001; Rockwell et al., 2002). The VEGF’s mRNA and protein expression level has been noticed in endometrial stomal,…

assumption behind this view is that a decrease in available processing capacity occurs at states of high emotional arousal, which, therefore, leads to less efficient memory processing” (Christianson, 1992). One way encoding a memory can be affected is when one experiences dissociation. Dissociation means when he or she mentally removes himself or herself from the situation, which acts like a coping method. Trauma may also stimulate a flashbulb effect. This is when the witness thinks he or she…

The Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task. It is the finding that naming the color of the first set of words is easier and quicker than the second. When the name of a color (e.g., "blue", "green", or "red") is printed in a color not denoted by the name, (such as the word "red" printed in blue ink instead of red ink), naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the color of the ink matches the name of the color. In his…

for young adults and middle aged people. This is essentially a mobile less powerful desktop. The processing power is lower than that of desktops and they had an extremely lower memory than their immobile counterparts, but they have more versatile abilities within the computer groups. While it cannot operate under the same duress and detail of a desktop computer, a laptop can operate games on a mild level and can run them for a short period of time. Many things that set the laptop apart from the…
