In this assignment I will be critically analysing the meaning of the term addiction when used in relation to drug misuse‚ and assess its merits as a concept for defining drug related behaviour. The key factors will be considered as to why people use drugs on a regular basis and how these factors impact the ’validity ’ of the overall concept of addiction. Also‚ I will be looking at what related concepts‚ such as ’dependence ’‚ imply for our use of addiction as a term to describe regular drug use

Central Nuclear Myopathy By Jon Cline Although patients with the extremely rare and sometimes life-threatening disease‚ central nuclear myopathy‚ will never be able to walk‚ or do some of the more athletic things people who do not have it do‚ they are still capable of leading normal lives. Most patients capable of communicating through computers or by sign language. This enables them to work; hence lead their own lives‚ with simply the assistance of others. If one was to look at a child just

Discussion The various stages of nuclear division were observed in this experiment. These stages are prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase and telophase. There are two types of nuclear division include mitosis and meiosis. Mitotic cell division is involved in the formation of an adult organism from a fertilized egg‚ asexual reproduction‚ regeneration‚ and maintenance or repair of body parts. Mitosis typically results in new somatic‚ or body cells. Meiosis results in the formation of either gametes in animals

project created in 1942 to produce the first US nuclear weapon. The Manhattan Project basically arrived from the ideals and fears of a Nazi Germany having access to nuclear capabilities during the war‚ and the threat of them using those nuclear weapons was at an all time high during the reign of Hitler. In order to combat this alarming problem‚ the United States government/military started a top secret program to help develop the world’s first nuclear weapon. The Manhattan project was directed by US

Nuclear Warfare Hiroshima‚ the first time nuclear bomb was used in war. On August 6‚ 1945 Hiroshima was attacked by the united states using a nuclear bomb named “Little Boy”. The attack on Hiroshima killed 20‚000+ soldiers and 70‚000-146‚000 civilians. “Little Boy” was detonated at 500 meters above the ground because it would spread further with radiation and cause more damage to structures and people. Nagasaki‚ August 9‚ 1945 bomb two. “Fat Man”was detonated over Nagasaki and killed up to 80

Baba Gyani Triviani said: "Good were the days when people played Duke Nukem‚ Now people just say Dude Nuke ’em" Nuclear energy has been a controversial topic and a topic of debate from ages ago. In this post‚ I would like to analyse this from a layman’s perspective. Countries are growing rapidly‚ both economically and by population. And a commodity that seems to be needed more than ever‚ and the need for which will continue to grow unabated is energy. Energy is needed to do anything - Whether

1. Environmental impacts of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste or radioactive waste is the residue of nuclear reactors‚ nuclear researches‚ nuclear projects and nuclear bomb reaction. Nuclear wastes‚ also known as spent fuel‚ are dangerously radioactive and could exist for thousands of years. The release of nuclear waste from its reactor could easily cause a lot of diseases like acute radiation sickness. The injection of nuclear waste to underground water causes water pollution and could contribute
