“In 1952, (Alan) Turing was found guilty on three counts of ‘gross indecency contrary to Section II of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885’” (Irving). He chose hormonal therapy over going to jail. Shortly after that on June 7th, 1954 he allegedly committed suicide after biting out of an apple dipped in cyanide. Approximately half a century later, Alan Turing was given a royal pardon by the queen in 2013. Such was the life of Alan Turing. The downward spiral began in Alan’s life because being…

The assignment during the third week was to find the information that would entail the usage of the two definable word with, which came as an abstraction and encapsulation in reference to the design methods of object oriented programming. The example that would come to mind is the design of one or more of the software application used during the past few weeks within the online lecture class and the usage of hiding information by design. The design of any program can be the structure of the…

of computing. Herself, and a team of women, were credited with the first business programming, known as COBOL. She was also credited with the term ‘debugging a machine’, as she successfully troubleshooted an issue with the Mark 1 machine, having the root cause of a moth found inside the unit (Isaacson, 2014).…

So, the question being is how does road salt affect vegetation? Plants can become injured when the roots and the foliage become exposed to salt water (Gould, 2013). The foliage becomes damaged when water that has been treated with salt is sprayed up from passing by vehicles…

He also adds on by stating that “Garden beds improve growing conditions for plants by lifting their roots above the soil”. Providing us with a simple but key explanation of why plants seem to grow faster if planted in garden beds. Hayes says that, “The soil in beds that are raised warms up earlier in the spring and is innovated by certain grasses and by the tree roots”. Recommending several steps to construct a raised garden bed. First, decide where it will be located the higher the…

Believe it or not, some plants can feel just like us, but even better, thanks to thigmotropism. Thigmotropism is a plant’s way of touching, or feeling. Thigmotropism is one of the tropisms, in which plants use to react with their environments. “Scientifically defined, it is the directional response of a plant organ to touch or physical contact with a solid object (1).” When a plant comes into contact with an object of a solid state, the response is to curl around it. “A Morning Glorie’s sense of…

trees and shrubs that have adapted to living in saltwater environments. They are propped up, out of the water, by dense, tangled roots that allow them to obtain oxygen in oxygen poor sediments. Their roots also allow the tree to remain supported during the rise and fall of the tides. They slow down water movement which allows for sediment to build up within the roots, which may help to stabilize coastlines and reduce erosion from different weather conditions such as storms, currents, waves…

where sixty percent of leafy area had been removed, the dye had not moved as far up. When we reduced the leaf area, we removed the stomata, which are important for transpiration. Leaves are covered with pores called stomata. Water is taken up by the roots or bottom of the leaf in this case, and is…

The findings from these studies all were somewhat consistent with Merton’s anomie theory, or parts of his theory. Although Baumer and Gustafson’s findings were not consistent with their exact predictions that were elaborated, their findings were on par with other explications of Merton’s theory and “do affirm some of Merton’s comments about the conditional ink between crime…
