Furstenberg‚ Brooks-Gunn & Chase-Lansdale (1989)‚ in an article titled Teenaged Pregnancy and Childbearing‚ teen pregnancy did not become prevalent until the 1960s. Two changes occurred contributing to the increase in teenage pregnancies: 1.) an increase in sexual activity of young girls and 2.) a decrease in the number of teenage marriages. By the 1980s over half of white females and three-fourths of black females were sexually active by the age of 18 (Furstenberg‚ Brooks-Gunn & Chase-Lansdale‚

James Gunn raises a very interesting and important point. Science fiction‚ at least with opposition to fantasy is grounded in our world. Worlds of science fiction need to be compared with our own to be understood. But even James Gunn didn’t find that satisfactory. ‘What of Burroughs’ John Carter series‚ so far from the actual

Literature Search Both Design 2 and Design 3 circuits uses the concept of voltage doubler rectifier in particular the Greinacher voltage doubler rectifier‚ where the components used are mainly capacitors‚ diodes. Light emitting diode (LED) and 3-turn coil are also incorporated into Design 2 and Design 3 circuits. There are two main reasons of using a voltage doubler rectifier. Firstly‚ the LED require a forward voltage of 1.7V to 2.2V‚ and the 3-turns coil on the implant will not be able to pick

Citrus fruits are said to be acidic and have negatively charged particles that create acid on our bodies. Citrus fruits are one of the best sources of electricity because of its negatively charged particles. These particles from the citrus fruits would travel through the wire in order to light up the diode bulb. III. Hypothesis a) If the diode bulb is connected through

The Power of Context In Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Power of Context‚” Gladwell states that actions that people commit‚ whether good or bad‚ are influenced by the nature of the situation more than their actual intentions. The psychological tendency for our minds to morph mannerisms and behavioral information into character explains the “context” portion of Gladwell’s theory. Gladwell wanted to prove his theory that by applying his “Power of Context” theory into the numerous incidents and experiments

Figure 7-10 PEAK DETECTOR CIRCUIT A peak detector circuit is a series of diodes and op amps (operational amplifier) connected with capacitor in series fashion to store and hold the peak values given by voltage supply. This circuit will store the highest value or peak value of the given voltage or hold the last given peak voltage to the circuit from the voltage supplier. Peak detector converts the Ac voltage to DC voltage and reduces the disturbance. The function can be explained as follow
