...Gm 520 Final Stem Cell Research Legislation Manny Garcia Jr English 135 Ms. Miller February 12, 2010 Abstract This paper explains that the ethical dilemma involved in stem cell research is a rather straight- forward process because to achieve its full potential this type of research requires using stem cells from fetuses. As well the history of Stem Cell Research Legislation in United States and what the current legislature state of affairs is and where the law on stem cell should go in the future. The issue of stem cell research burst on the scientific in November of 1998 when researchers first reported the isolation of human embryonic stem cells. The discovery, made by Dr. James A Thomson, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, offered great promise for new ways of treating disease. The cells, which are derived from several day old embryos, can theoretically differentiate into virtually any type of human cell, from blood cells to skim cell. Scientists hope to find ways of using them to repair damaged tissue. Although research is only in the early stages, there is a growing consensus among researchers that many very effective medical treatments can be realized through cloning stem cells. This is because these cells can be made to replicate specific human tissues. These cells offer the possibility of a renewable source of replacement cells and tissue to treat a myriad of diseases, conditions, and disabilities including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's...

...GM 520 Business Torts Assignment Alan Kay Mae Tom brought suit against the S.S. Kresge Co. after she slipped and fell on the floor while shopping at one of the chain’s Arizona department stores on Nov. 15, 1977. According to the case details, Tom stopped at Kresge’s to buy some wrapping paper. While walking down a store aisle, she slipped and fell on a clear liquid substance, suffering injuries for which she brought the action. The record reveals that the store was a self-service establishment that offered a variety of goods. The majority of goods sold were dry goods, but it is uncontradicted that the store had two counters from which soft drinks were available. Patrons were allowed to carry their drinks around the store while shopping. It appears that Tom fell in an aisle containing only dry goods. Neither she nor any Kresge’s employees, however, noticed any liquid on the floor prior to the fall. The manager, assistant manager and a sales clerk who were in the store on the day of the accident stated that they had no idea how the liquid substance reached the floor. Tom argued that Kresge’s is liable for her injury because it occurred as a result of a condition created by the store’s "mode of operation." She also contends that the store should be held liable because the accident-causing condition had existed for such a length of time that in the exercise of ordinary care, Kresge’s should have known of the condition and taken action to remedy it. She also argued that there...

...The business literature is overflowing with concepts. Some of these, usually only a few, manage to stay ‘in the spotlight’ for longer; Chandler’s (1962; 1990) ‘managerial enterprise’ is among them. His theory links strategic decisions, internal structures and corporate performance and despite its criticism, it is still used to explain corporate success (and failure) of the late19th, 20th and even the 21st century (Gospel, 1988:105). In contrast to the contingency approach, Chandler (1990) advocates the American way of organisation as the ‘one best way’ for all countries [1] . Yet, can one size fit all? We shall refer to different country examples, industries and time periods to find out. Chandler argued that large managerial enterprises have managed to prosper through the years due to a basic economic logic, which he named ‘three-pronged strategy’ [2] (Chandler, 1995). According to this concept, firms should invest heavily in both their production and distribution functions in order to fully exploit economies of scale and scope at a national and international level (Chandler, 1990; 1995). This can only happen when the firm relies on the accurate judgment of skilful professional management. The aim was to create organisational capabilities and benefit from first-mover advantages via ‘related diversification’ (Chandler, 1995; Whittington et al., 1999). The implemented structure can best be described, using the author’s own words, as ‘centralised and functionally-departmentalised’...

...Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science 8 (2004) 31–37 Carbon nanotube polymer composites R. Andrews *, M.C. Weisenberger 1 Center for Applied Energy Research, University of Kentucky, 2540 Research Park Drive, Lexington, KY 40511-8410 USA Received 7 October 2003; accepted 29 October 2003 Abstract The state of research into carbon nanotube/polymer–matrix composites for mechanical reinforcement is critically reviewed with emphasis on recent advances in CNT composite toughness. Particular interest is also given to interfacial bonding of carbon nano-tubes to polymer matrices as it applies to stress transfer from the matrix to the CNT. Potential topics of oncoming focus are highlighted. 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction Since the documented discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991 by Iijima [1] and the realization of their unique physical properties, including mechanical, ther-mal, and electrical, many investigators have endeavored to fabricate advanced CNT composite materials that exhibit one or more of these properties [2,*3,*4]. For example, as conductive filler in polymers, CNTs are quite effective compared to traditional carbon black micro-particles, primarily due to their large aspect ratios [5]. The electrical percolation threshold was recently re-ported at 0.0025 wt.% CNTs and conductivity at 2 S/m at 1.0 wt.% CNTs in epoxy matrices [6]. Similarly, CNTs possess one of the highest thermal conductivities known [*7]...

...Walgreens: Strategic Evolution 1 America’s largest drugstore chain, Walgreens, had 8,210 locations by 2011, including 7,761 drugstores. Almost 75 percent of Americans lived within five miles of a Walgreens pharmacy, and more than 6 million customers were served each day. Walgreens issued more than 800 million prescriptions annually, representing 20 percent of the U.S. market. Its online business, Walgreens.com, had almost 17 million visitors per month. Walgreens’ strategy had evolved for more than a century in business. By 2012, the company faced a number of major strategic questions, including international expansion and a changing health care environment. History of Pharmacy2 People have been trying to create remedies for illnesses and ailments since the beginning of time, but most historians credit Babylon with the first organized apothecary. This was followed by the Romans, who created a system of pathology and therapy that became standards for Western medicine for more than 1,000 years. For the most part, though, pharmacy remained a sketchy and shadowy business for centuries, practiced by (among others) witch doctors and alchemists. Advances in medicine and the Renaissance era led to more structured and scientific approaches. In 1240, German Emperor Frederick II issued a proclamation establishing the practice of pharmacy along three tenets: (1) separation of the pharmaceutical profession from the medical profession; (2) official supervision (regulation) of pharmacy; and...

...Abstract Exposure to high levels of air pollution can cause a variety of adverse health outcomes. Air quality in developed countries has been generally improved over the last three decades. However, many recent epidemiological studies have consistently shown positive associations between low-level exposure to air pollution and health outcomes. Thus, adverse health effects of air pollution, even at relatively low levels, remain a public concern. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent research development and contemporary methodological challenges in this field and to identify future research directions for air pollution epidemiological studies. Introduction It is well known that exposure to high levels of air pollution can adversely affect human health. A number of air pollution catastrophes occurred in industrial countries between 1950s and 1970s, such as the London smog of 1952 [1]. Air quality in western countries has significantly improved since the 1970s. However, adverse health effects of exposure to relatively low level of air pollution remain a public concern, motivated largely by a number of recent epidemiological studies that have shown the positive associations between air pollution and health outcomes using sophisticated time-series and other designs [2]. This review highlights the key findings from major epidemiological study designs (including time-series, case-crossover, panel, cohort, and birth outcome studies) in estimating the associations of exposure...
