Affirmative action has deep roots within the American workforce as well as the schooling system. Once used as a system to prevent racism and discrimination during the civil rights era‚ affirmative action has remained a part of American culture. Although many Americans may not be entirely aware of its use‚ all of them are affected by it. The effects and uses of this system can be seen through the history‚ public opinion and finally‚ how it can be fixed or changed to better

Graphs‚ Groups and Surfaces 1 Introduction In this paper‚ we will discuss the interactions among graphs‚ groups and surfaces. For any given graph‚ we know that there is an automorphism group associated with it. On the other hand‚ for any group‚ we could associate with it a graph representation‚ namely a Cayley graph of presentations of the group. We will first describe such a correspondence. Also‚ a graph is always embeddable in some surface. So we will then focus on properties of graphs

The plasma membrane is a fluid phospholipid bilayer. The outside of the bilayer is hydrophilic portions of porteins and phospholipids because they are exposed to water. This results in a stable membrane structure. Inside the bilayer hydrophobic portions of proteins and phospholipids because the inside of the bilayer is nonaqueous. the proteins bob in the fluid bilayer of phospholipids. The proteins also vary in structure and function. There are teh integral proteins; transmembrane

and appears in the Rig Veda as the name of the sections of the work‚ but is also used in other Indian religions‚ particularly Buddhism. In the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism‚ mandalas have been developed into sandpainting. They are also a key part of anuttarayoga tantra meditation practices. In various spiritual traditions‚ mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts‚ as a spiritual teaching tool‚ for establishing a sacred space‚ and as an aid to meditation and trance

Cell Organelles Nucleus Its function is to control the cell’s activities and retain the chromosomes. The nucleus is bound by a double membrane‚ the nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope has pores in it to allow the transport of mRNA. The cytoplasm like material is called nucleoplasm which contains chromatin (coils of DNA and histone proteins)‚ it is chromatin that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Within the nucleus is a small spherical body called the nucleolus which
