Question 1 The Pacific Northwest LNG Project Environmental Assessment Report shows a lot of flaws in public participation. However, the project can only be expected to achieve ‘reasonable’ levels of public participation. Therefore, the public participation of this project, though inadequate compared to the principles of public participation, was reluctantly acceptable. The principles of public participation require public consultation throughout every stage of the environmental assessment (EA)…
Bulgaria in 1975 and Hungary in 1978 (Tee, 2010). Since 1997, the HFMD with EV71-associated neurological syndrome with high mortality rate had spread rapidly in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia (Yang, 2009). Most of the outbreaks reported in the Asia-Pacific region since 1997 were caused by EV71 subgenogroups that are previously unknown. The EV71 infections had become a serious and urgent issue which threats the global public health. Hence, the main purpose of the paper “Evolutionary Genetics…
a good place to be.” ~ Rossano Brazzi (as Emile De Becque) in South Pacific It is interesting how human nature rarely fails to find an adversary. Even without fighting in a monumental war, we find a battle, and we only need to look inward to find it. Often times the battles fought within are amongst the greatest, most trying conflicts, as they are against the self. This battle is apparent in the musical South Pacific, where blurred battle lines of racism prove more troubling than the…
spread of disease, resource shortages and a lack of adequate resources. The Western Pacific region is a particularly vulnerable area to climate change and migration; therefore, this problem is analyzed using this region as a lens. Climate Change and its Impacts on Migration and Human Health Climate change is a well-established and supported phenomenon…
There are many things that are socially constructed in today’s society nation-wide because of the influence of the Western ideas. One of that being the idea of how an individual’s weight can define whether they are “fat” or “overweight”. Both of these correlating with the idea of not being healthy and that they may be obese. “Fat” and “overweight” is a scientific way to describe the mass weight of the individual, but has been commonly used negatively that now these terms are seen more as a…

The Battle of Leyte Gulf took place in the Philippines and pitted Japanese and the United States naval forces against one another for command and control of the western Pacific region during World War II. The Philippines, to the United States, was another stepping stone closer to striking at Japan’s home island and also a vital staging point to wage war against Japan’s merchant supply line of valuable resources such as oil and fuel. Japan was required to defend the Philippines in the interest of…
The author is addressing the debate of a small island called Senkaku-Diaoyu Islands, located northeast of Taiwan and in the East China Sea. For some time, the Islands were ignored until the Chinese, Japanese, and later Taiwanese claimed to have discovered the Senkaku-Diaoyu Islands. This debate has been brought to light once more by the purchase of some of the Islands by the Japanese. This purchase has been predicted to initiate war between the Chinese and Japanese. Each country has their own…
In Cold Stream,1966 I believe Twombly attempts to internalized Mallarme’s boundless confidence to search for his ideal and transforms an empty blackboard into an endless voyage within the sea. The sea, symbolic, becomes a vast expansion of divine chance. Abysmal and ever evolving, the sea is in constant motion whether on the surface or beneath just like the conscious and unconsciousness of our minds. The sea and the mind’s violent turbulence, the clarity of its stillness, ever changing, we…
