Diatoms are single cellular eukaryotes that are super tiny in size. They are pretty much like photosynthetic micro-organisms, some live simple or branched and others are filamentous and others are in a gelatinous envelope or tube. All diatoms are enclosed by something that is called frustule, which is made up of 2 valves that are fitted together by a girdle, which is a connective zone.…
William Sanford Nye or “Bill Nye The Science Guy” was born on November 27 1959 In washington D.C. where he grew up with his parents Jacqueline and Edwin Darby Nye. After attending the private Sidwell Friends School, Bill enrolled at Cornell University, where he studied mechanical engineering. Upon earning his Bachelor of Science degree, Bill went on to begin his career at The Boeing Company in Seattle, where he would live for many years. Bill developed a hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor that is still used in the Boeing 747. One thing i did not know about Bill was that his mother was recruited to become a codebreaker during World War II and his father was held in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, where he had no electricity, for four years:…
What I felt through reading this essay, I regretted my spring semester in the college. Until June, I was fine and had full of hope and enthusiasm that I would be able to cope up with my work and school. Since June, I started the part time job in the restaurant. At the beginning, I felt so comfortable with me because I earned money, which helped my parents and me a lot. Then gradually, it forced me to commit myself overworking. As I reflect myself now, at that time, I was totally lack of the balance. Mentally and physically, I was at the extreme. Some teachers kindly advised me to reduce the working time, but I…
Many teachers use the example: “A Cell is like a factory….the nucleus is the boss, the golgi packs and ships materials, the mitochondria provides the power/generator, etc.”…
Since my teenage I wanted to become a computer engineer and work for multinational organization which not only pays well but also will have the opportunity to travel abroad. I am from a middle class Indian family where bearing the costs of studying from an English medium school is hard and yet my parents helped me study in English medium school. I studied English medium during all my schooling which helped me develop my literacy skills. I started learning computers since my 10th grade. . This was the time of mid 1995 when the computer classes were first introduced in my school in India and I was one of the member of the first batches that was offered the basics of computer and little bit of programming. This was the beginning and I was getting interested to learn more about computers. We also had to take up a exam at the end of the course to prove our competency in the subject though it was not part of the 10th grade board exam. I scored 83 out of 100 which gave me confidence that I can succeed in this field of study. From there on during my 11th and 12th grade I took computer science as my specialization and also completed Bachelor’s Degree in computer science. After my graduation it was time to look for my dream job but consulting with friends, family and seniors in college I realized that the degree that I earned is not just enough to…
Before I went to City College,I made the most important decision of my life. I decided to go to a university, but I didn’t know which university should I go? I still remember when I was a high school student my college counselor told me “Ensure that the school is a perfect match for you.” At that time I wasn’t sure where should I go. Although I felt like I was not ready for university I still had to make a choice. I submitted my application to SF State University without any hesitation. After I submitted the application, I thought about this every day. It was a little impulsive, but I already did it. I always felt I am not good enough and afraid of college. Before the orientation day I watched TV all night and I slept at the morning. I completely…
The Future of HIPAA in the Cloud A white paper by Frank Pasquale and Tara Adams Ragone June 30, 2013 The Future of HIPAA in the Cloud Abstract This white paper examines how cloud computing generates new privacy challenges for both healthcare providers and patients, and how American health privacy laws may be interpreted or amended to address these challenges. Given the current implementation of Meaningful Use rules for health information technology and the Omnibus HIPAA Rule in health care generally, the stage is now set for a distinctive law of “health information” to emerge.…
I was a student who was good at setting plans and studying. In high school, I had to put lots of thoughts in deciding my concentrations between liberal arts sciences because I had much interest in math. Economics caught my attention because I wanted to apply my knowledge in my real life and take more practical profession. So, I decided to move on to a liberal arts college. I really tried to do my best for enter the college which I wanted. While I prepared for the test, my health was getting worse and I could not take the test. At that time, I felt like the world is over. My twelve years of effort became nothing, and I did not have patient to wait one more year. (In Korea, the test which is like SAT in America is once a year) First time my parents blame me that I did…
Science, one of the many things that us as humans know so much about, yet know hardly anything about it. No matter what we already know and what we newly discover, science will always be an enigmatic subject to study. Science has always puzzled me. I was homeschooled from first grade up until my 11th grade year when I went to Westchester Country Day School in High Point, North Carolina. I don’t remember any science activities that I did before I entered high school, other than just doing some simple science experiments that involved natural science, electricity, and a little bit of simple chemistry was mixed in there.…
The Scientific Method - The Scientific Method is the standardized procedure that scientists are supposed to follow when conducting experiments, in order to try to construct a reliable, consistent, and non-arbitrary representation of our surroundings. To follow the Scientific Method is to stick very tightly to a order of experimentation. First, the scientist must observe the phenomenon of interest. Next, the scientist must propose a hypothesis, or idea in which the experiments will be based around. Then, through repeated experimentation.Scientific Method - Scientific method what comes to mind. Do we start thinking of some type of formal process that will answer all our scientific questions or problems. When I was in school many years ago, we were taught that scientists go through a series of steps to find a solution to a problem or find evidence to support or disprove a theory. It all seemed rather cold, and formal. Going back to school, school has taught me that science has undergone significant changes and has moved away from the rigidity of a fixed series of steps in what was formerly called the scientific method.... The Scientific Method - ... Geophysicists opposed his suggestion that the continents glide across the ocean floor, asserting that the ocean floor did not contain adequate power to hold the continents and moreover considerable frictional opposition would transpire (Nelson, 2003). In the 1950s and in the 1960s, reports of the Planet's magnetic field and in what way it varied across time, a study known as paleomagnetism, presented different support that would confirm that the continents do definitely move (Nelson, 2003). The method by which an expert discovers clarification to an occurrence is named the scientific method.... Tracing the Scientific Method - ... After the experiment, any findings should be analyzed to decide whether the hypothesis was correct, incorrect, or somewhere in-between. In this experiment, which was reported in the Journal of…
According to a text book the scientific method is super simple and very vague when in reality it is a more complex or detailed process. According to this reading it is nothing to run screaming from because it’s not difficult it just goes deeper than a text book explains or allows you to believe. These are the steps according to a science text book:…
When I was first assigned this report I had no idea what Christian Science was. I researched for hours on the religion, and tried to find anything I could on it. I found out that Christian Science was a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. As quoted from a Christian Scientist " This religion is based on the words and works of Christ Jesus, and draws its authority form the Bible. Its teachings are set forth in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Although a distinctive part of Christian Science is the healing of disease be spiritual means alone, it's higher purpose is universal salvation from every day evil-including sin and death ".…
