...Samuel Smoot 08/19/2013 GVPT World Nature Organization Analytical Writing Assignment - Due End of Week 3 I chose to write my analytical paper on the World Nature Organization. The World Nature Organization is dedicated to the protection of the environment at international level. Its main focus is on energy efficiency, climate protection, sustainable development and a sustainable energy supply. As a platform, the WNO tries to build bridges between business interests as well as development and environmental protection while, at the same time, making the economic value of nature apparent. The mission of the WNO is to promote activities, technologies, economies, and renewable energies which are regarded to be environment friendly; and reducing the impact of climate change. The foundation of the World Nature Organization is one of the key outcomes of multilateral environmental protection negotiations. The role of the Organization is to turn declarations into implementable actions and to support the protection of the environment and climate at an international level. The statements stated above are the reasons I chose the World Nature Organization to write my analytical paper on because at times we are so focused on the wrong things in International relations and often forget about the environment. Nature is very important for multiple reasons as we use natural energy all the time and at times abuse it. While one of the WNO’s objectives...

...RUNNING HEADER: LEADERSHIP Week 7 Analytical Paper Abstract The purpose of this paper is to capture the different characteristics of Leadership, and how this apply to a real case scenario. The case scenario was briefly explained, and an analysis was performed to cover how the case fits in the theoretical framework covered this week. The organization had a transformation due to a change of the immediate leadership, and the team members and leadership performance drastically improved. The new leadership positively motivated, encouraged, guided and played the leadership roles with their team members with an improvement on people’s morale and performance. Introduction Leadership is crucial to build and preserve an environment that lead to a high standard and enables subordinates to an outstanding performance and maximize their contribution to accomplish the organization’s mission and goals. Leaders have to create an environment where their people can feel free in sharing their ideas and knowledge with the rest of the team, allowing them to come up with the best products for the organization and team advantage. Empowerment motivates the individual experience and skills that are suppress due to their superior’s insecurity (Colquitt, Lepine & Wesson, 2013). Leaders have the tendency to visualize what they want and transpire that vision into achievable goals by establishing plan with their team and by obtaining their commitment...

...General Senses The body’s internal and external environments are detected by special cells called sensory receptors, which are sensitive to specific stimulus. The general senses have simple neural pathways, and consist of touch, pain, chemical, pressure detection, and body position or proprioception. Sensory neurons monitor specific regions called receptive fields which enables the brain to detect where a stimulus was applied to the body. The greater the receptive field the greater difficulty you have to localize the stimulus. The advantage of having a larger receptive field is having a larger area to receive signals. The disadvantage of having a large receptive field is having a hard time trying to pinpoint where the stimulus is. Take an itch for example, and this is so true because it happens to me all the time you get an itch on your back and you know the area where the itch is located you just can’t find where the exact location of itch is. The link between a receptor and the cortical neuron or the brain and cerebral cortex that carries the modality of the stimulus is the labeled line. This is critical for quick processing of tactile, pressure, vibration, or temperature modality. There is two different types of receptors phasic or fast adapting which are inactive, then activated by a stimulus. These receptors respond strong at first and then decline. Root hair plexus would be an example of a phasic receptor. A tonic or slow adapting receptor is always active. A pain receptor...

...Warner 1 Nicholas Warner Instructor Grubbs English 112 26 Feb. 2015 Analytical Paper: The Veldt While many stories arguably have a hidden meaning, Ray Bradbury’s short sci-fi story “The Veldt” is often seen as one of the greatest examples; showing how families are too reliant on technology. The story is about a family who has recently moved into a new, more technologically advanced house with all sorts of mechanical wonders, which the children soon come to put on a pedestal and worship. The children also develop a disturbing reliance on all of the machines that are in their new home. The parents notice the house acting strangely and decide to shut it off, but the children don’t take it very well and it doesn’t end well for the parents. In the story Bradbury has created a utopia, but in the case of Bradbury’s creation, a lot of things go wrong, and the Hadleys’ world is turned on its head. Bradbury’s poetic writing style takes the reader out of the everyday world and into a fantasy world, not unlike a child’s fantasy. The world of “The Veldst” takes children’s fantasy and makes it concrete. Phrases in the story such as “Nothing is too good for our children” and “Every home should have one” (Bradbury, “The Veldt”) bring the reader’s attention to the material worship that dominate many American households. Warner 2 In this dark and troubling story, Bradbury shows the dangers that are quite possible with the speed and advancement of technology and how important communication...

...Higher Education In this fast pace world wherein change is the only thing that is constant, technology plays an important factor in reinventing our everyday lives. We live and breathe with it and a part of our daily routine. There is a surmountable amount of advantages that technology brought into the field of health, sciences and engineering to name a few. These things happening around us greatly affect the way we deal with our lives and strive to achieve a set of goals. However, the integral part of this is adaptation and staying on top of it. The key to access information is simply through learning. Learning comes in all forms. From practical to intensive and more elaborate works, it has to evolve and develop one’s personal preference. By sense, our actions are leaning towards into a deeper and higher learning to make ourselves more viable and eventually profitable. As population increases, competition becomes stiffer whether in school, sports or even landing a perfect job. People nowadays understand the value of a higher education. There is always a better chance to be credible if one has been certified. It is not enough to finish high school to get a better paying job or even to get the right if not the perfect job. The job requirements or responsibilities have become strictly rigorous, narrowing down applicants vying for any position. Promotion sometimes may be improbable to some especially if candidates are piling up showing off their credentials. Experience will always...

...Bulk Polymerization of Styrene Bulk polymerization of styrene will be conducted with different initial initiator concentrations. The polymers will be analyzed for their MW and PDI by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) using a calibration curve. The MW dependence on conversion will be investigated. The effect of the initiator concentration on polymer MW will be examined. Materials. Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and toluene (HPLC) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as received. Styrene (Sigma-Aldrich) was purified by passing through a silica column to remove inhibitors. CDCl3 was purchased from Cambridge Isotope and was used as received. Methods. Reaction procedure. To a vial charged with freshly purified styrene (10 g) was AIBN (0.7g, 0.35g or 0.17g) added at room temperature. The mixtures are then heated at 80˚C in an oil bath. Seven aliquots of the reaction mixture are removed at fixed time intervals (e.g., 0, 20, 40, 60, 80,100 min, 1 week) and analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy for conversion and SEC for polymer MW and PDI. Sample preparation for SEC analysis. An aliquot of the reaction mixture (3mg) is dissolved in THF(1mL) and was filtered through a syringe membrane filter prior to injection into SEC column. Sample preparation for 1H NMR analysis. An aliquot of the reaction mixture (0.1-0.5 mg) is dissolved in CDCl3 (1mL) and is transferred into a NMR tube for conversion analysis. Lab report write-up.

...Ada Lovelace was born in London on December 10th, 1815. Her parents were Lord George Gordon Byron and Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke Byron. They didn’t have a happy relationship, and Lady Byron separated from her husband weeks after Ada was born. A few months later, Lord Byron left England, and Ada never saw him again because unfortunately he died in Greece when Ada was 8 years old. Later on in her life, Ada’s mother hired tutors to teach her science and math. She believed that if Ada engaged in these, it would prevent her from developing her father's moody and unpredictable temper. In 1835, Ada married William King. They had three children together. Ada's health suffered after a case of cholera in 1837. Doctors gave her painkillers and her personality...

Ferreira * ´ ˆ ´ ´ ´ Universidade Federal da Bahia, Instituto de Quımica, Nucleo de Excelencia em Quımica Analıtica da Bahia, ´ Campus Universitario de Ondina, 40170-290 Salvador, Bahia, Brasil Received 23 June 2005; received in revised form 25 October 2005; accepted 25 October 2005 Abstract The wheat is one of the cereals more consumed in the human food in all worlds. In the form of flour it is used for preparation of breads, cookies, pizzas, cakes, and etc. This way, the knowledge of the mineral content this cereal and its flour is very important. Considering it, methods for determination of metals in these matrices are opportune and several papers have been performed. In this paper, a slurry sampling flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of manganese in wheat flour is proposed. The optimization step was performed using univariate methodology involving the variables: nature and concentration of the acid solution for slurry preparation, sonication time and sample mass. The established experimental conditions after optimization recommend a sample mass of 0.5 g, 2.0 mol LÀ1nitric acid solution and a sonication...

...Repression: A Psychological Reading of Menagerie Shih Ching-liang The Glass As the tradition of realism dominated in the late 19th century, expressionism emerged along with the rise of psychology at the very end of the century Expressionistic plays sought to give not the external reality or surface appearance of life but the inner reality, life as felt rather than as seen (Barnet 519). The Glass Menagerie is mostly expressionistic: the first sentence of the Production Notes declares that “it is a memory play.” The term “memory play” suggests that it is a play worked out in one’s mental process, rather than a realistic representation. Instead of external reality, the inner vision becomes the primary concern of expressionistic drama. Thus this paper focuses on the repressed state of each character in the Wingfield family, and tries to shed light on their inner psychology by means of psychoanalytical approach. As a mother figure, Amanda is quite distinctive from those in conventional drama. With the father absent for years, Amanda takes on not only maternal nuturing responsibilities but also the paternal disciplinary role. She is a breadwinner (though partly) as well as a caretaker. Yet in her attempt to fulfill this double-sided role, she actually encounters a series of frustrations and repressions, which provoke her to escape into the retreat of past. In the play, what characterizes Amanda is her poignant sentiment toward the Old South days. She believes in the myth of “gracious living...

...A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS SELECTION: AN ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS AND ZERO-ONE-GOAL PROGRAMMING APPROACH Salah R. Agha School of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Islamic University-Gaza, Gaza Strip, Phone: 970-599-746-533, aghasr@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This study uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Zero-One Goal Programming(ZOGP) to select the most favorable industrial projects from the viewpoints of three stakeholders, namely, govern mental, consultants and academics. Therefore, it is the purpose of this paper to help reach a consensus among the stakeholders for selecting certain projects using weights obtained by AHP as inputs to (ZOGP) model. This is first done by identifying the projects from each individual stakeholder's viewpoint. Further, an aggregate model that simultaneously combines the viewpoints of the three stakeholders is built assuming that the three stakeholders have equal weights. Results show that the aggregate model does strike a balance not only among the conflicting criteria, but more importantly, it strikes a balance among the different stakeholders. Therefore, the aggregate model would make it easier for stakeholders to reach a consensus. Keywords: Multi Criteria Optimization; Project Prioritization; Integrated AHP-ZOGP; Multi-stakeholder. 1. Introduction Traditional methods used in project selection usually justify the projects using low level capital budgeting which works well for investments with clearly...

...sample pretreatment and allows very small amounts of the sample. Directly desorbed solvents from intact pharmaceuticals (ca. 1 mg) in the desorption cup (5 mm x 3.8 mm i.d.) were cryofocused at the head of a capillary column prior to a GC/MS analysis. The desorption temperature was set at a point about 20 degrees C higher than the melting point of each sample individually, and held for 3 min. The analytical results using 7 different pharmaceuticals were in agreement with those obtained by direct injection (DI) of the solution, followed by USP XXIII. This proposed TD-GC/MS method was demonstrated to be very useful for the identification and quantification of residual solvents. Furthermore, this method was simple, allowed rapid analysis and gave good repeatability. 2 J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2011 Jan 25;54(2):417-21. doi: 10.1016/j.jpba.2010.09.006. Epub 2010 Sep 15.
