possessed immense weaponry and fire power. In order to add their collective the Zarbitz always travel with the entirety of their species. The zarbitz only objective is to consume all life from planet to planet using the life force they draw from them to replicate more and more of their species. After the location was revealed to them, they set off across the stars to retrieve it. On the Earthen Calendar date “March 15th 2020” The first starship disengaged their cloaking and broke earth's…

Differences in Expressive Control is an empirical study that evaluated the premeditated Duchenne smile, using a research architype in which test subjects were instructed to smile in role-play scenarios to convey different social messages, as well as replicate photographed Duchenne smiles (Gunnery et al, 2012). The operational definition for the term “Duchenne smile” as delineated by the literature is, “the activation of the orbicularis oculi (cheek raiser) muscle that makes crow’s feet at the…

Dawkins and the Selfish Gene: A Summary In Dawkins in the Selfish Gene, Ed Sexton summarizes Richard Dawkins’ gene theory. He debunks misconceptions about theory: most assume it will be about selfish behavior in humans, but it is actually about evolution and a gene’s will to survive over others. He accurately explains the basic gene theory in simple terms that make Dawkins’ ideas clearer to readers. The original purpose of Dawkins was to examine the biology of selfishness and altruism, but he…

We have all had a virus at one point. Sometimes I go to the doctor with my mother and he will say something like, "all the tests came back negative so he probably has a virus." That seems a little confusing because you would think they could tell what the virus was, but there are so many viruses that sometimes we as humans just catch a virus and have to deal with it. Obviously some viruses are not as powerful, but some are very serious and could even lead to death. Two common viruses are…

1 INTRODUCTION Drosophila Melanogaster, also known as the fruit fly, is a most valuable organism in biological research that has made significant contributions particularly in genetics and research. It is used as a model organism in research for several reasons viz. Easily handled, sexually dimorphic, cheap and easy to keep large numbers, care and culture requires little equipments and well understood because of its short life cycle of just two weeks and also Entire genome of drosophila…

In Books II-IV of Plato’s Republic, Socrates creates an ideal polis, and in doing so finds justice in the soul. The two foundational principles of the ideal city that Socrates creates are self-sufficiency and one-person-one-art, referred to today as specialization. Individual people are not self-sufficient, so the citizens of the city must take up a profession and trade with each other. Socrates and his companions are successful in their search for justice, and are able to reach the answer by…

Competition, predation and species responses to environmental change In the study that was run they were trying to examine the effects of interspecific competition which is when individuals of different species are competing for the same resources such as food and shelter in an ecosystem and the preying of one species on another species due to species responses to temperature change (Jiang and Kulczycki, 2004). Other experiments have been run on temperature change but they do not have a good…

Legitimacy During the brief interview between an employee at the organization she attested to the legitimacy of an organization (her particular organization as well) being the main factor in whether or not an organization will scale successfully. In order to gain legitimacy organizations, have to prove impact and have to be able to do so for. Through proof that nonprofit organizations have an are successfully creating the impact they state in their goals, mission, and objective. The organization…

Extensive research has been conducted on attentional mechanisms of the visual system over the recent decades focusing specifically on stimulus-driven attentional capture – an exogenous system of attentional capture by a stimulus that occurs independent of top-down control of the observer, that is, it is irrelevant to the task of the observer. The effect of capture by the stimulus is most powerful when stimulus is a sudden onset - entering the field of view of subject abruptly without priming…

Germination is the process by which a plant grows out from a seed. The most common example is the sprouting from a seed of an angiosperm, a flowering plant, or a gymnosperm that are seed-bearing plants. For a seed to germinate, few external conditions are in need to be met as well as internal conditions of the seed such as its dormancy, viability and its vitality to sprout. When these internal conditions are met, the external conditions at the time of seed germination plays a big role. First of…
