...Richard Braceful Com/155 University Composition and Communication 1 Week 9 Assignment Are you influenced by Politicians or Preachers? The masses of people are controlled by the few leaders we pledge our allegiance to. Would you kill if you were asked by a leader? Would you sacrifice your life at the request of a leader, for the common good? These are the questions that reveal the influence that politicians and preachers have over our lives. I can remember, countless number of times, I have made a decision based on purely affiliation. Without a second thought of my own, I reasoned that “if Mr. Democratic Politician or Reverend Do Right said this it must be true”. I was influenced to make a decision by someone outside of me. Let me state this emphatically, everyone has someone that is able to influence their decisions from time to time. We place a great deal of trust in the elective process. When a government official goes through the rigorous process of election, we feel we have someone in office we can trust. There are times when we give them our blanket seal of approval without further investigation. We do the same thing with those men that stand behind a pulpit and speak to us every, Saturday, Sunday or whenever we meet. They take a stand on something and we follow then because of the place that they stand every time we meet there. They say, “Vote this way “, and without question we vote that way, because Reverend Do Right can’t be wrong! There are times when we give...

...Changing for a Purpose In the 1940’s, African Americans will not have equal opportunities as they do now. They will endear racial diversities, therefore they have to stick together in every situation possible. Knowing how to stay in their place, is how blacks will stay safe in those days. In A Lesson Before Dying, the people will come together for the sole purpose of helping Miss Emily with saving Jefferson’s soul before he dies. The love they will have for Miss Emily will show the respect of the elders, loyalty to family and friend’s and, the growth when they change. Miss Emily is Jeffferson’ godmother, who is called nannan. She is in her seventies and, she is retired as a cook for Mr. Henry Pichot. Jefferson goes with his friend’s, not knowing that they are going to rob the store. After everyone is killed, Jefferson is the only person still standing in the store and, his fault is that he took the money out of the cashier since everyone is dead. He is arrested and, goes to trial for the murders. He will be sentenced to death by the electric chair. His lawyer tried to get him off by saying “Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this”(Stanley 1). Black people will not have the same justice as the White people in these time. Miss Emily recruits Taute Lou, Grant Wiggins and, Reverend Ambrose to help Jefferson die with dignity. Miss Emily knows that Taute Lou’s nephew is a teacher and, can teach hi m about life. Reverend Ambrose will be there to prepare...

...facilities perform in-house lab testing. My project will deal with collecting data on the types of tests each office conducts in house, weekly volume, which vendor is used, and what analyzers are located in the facilities. Once the spreadsheet is compiled, a team of laboratory experts and myself will go through the tests to set criteria on which test is allowed to be done in-house and which tests need to be sent to the CPA lab or the Ancillary Lab. From this project, I will be able to determine the expenses and reimbursement rates to help vet the test menu. The intern program also consists of weekly “Coffee Clutches”. This one-hour sessions gives us the chance to meet and mingle with Norton Administrators. The first week, we met the Rev. Ron Oliver. He talked a great deal about work-life balance and how to embrace opportunities. The next week, we met Al Cornish, the Chief Learning Officer. During this meeting, we learned about the importance of learning and the free benefits to employees by Norton University. Through this past month, my favorite part has been meeting with everyone including the intern team. I have enjoyed getting to know students who come from different backgrounds from me. Of course, having two of my classmates on the team does not hurt either. I look forward to the camaraderie that develops this...

...Magnetotransport in Modulated Graphene by Rubina Nasir Submitted to the Department of Physics on 25 June 2012, in partial ful…llment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Recent experimental as well as theoretical works have shown that it is possible to create periodic, electric as well as magnetic, potentials in graphene. The e¤ects of these potentials on charge carriers in graphene leads to novel physical e¤ects with important consequences for transport. Whereas a strong periodic potential can lead to new Dirac points in the band structure of graphene, a weak periodic potential along with a perpendicular magnetic …eld B introduces a new length scale, period of modulation, in the system in addition to the cyclotron diameter at the Fermi energy. Commensurability of these two length scales leads to new observable physical e¤ects. These e¤ects were observed earlier in transport studies in conventional 2DEG systems realized in semiconductor heterostructures. Our aim is to study these e¤ects in a graphene monolayer in order to highlight the similarities and di¤erences in the two systems, conventional 2DEG and graphene. Therefore, in this thesis we have carried out a detailed investigation of the electrical magnetotransport properties of a one-dimensional weakly modulated graphene monolayer. It is found that the periodic modulation broadens the sharp Landau Levels into bands and they start oscillating with B. The electronic conduction in this system...

...Quantum-Criticality in Dissipative Quantum Two-Dimensional XY and Ashkin-Teller Models: Application to the Cuprates Vivek Aji and C. M. Varma Physics Department, University of California, Riverside, CA 92507 In a recent paper1 we have shown that the dissipation driven quantum phase transition of the 2D xy model represents a universality class where the correlations at criticality is local in space and power law in time. Here we provide a detailed analysis of the model. The local criticality is brought about by the decoupling of infrared singularities in space and time. The former leads to a Kosterlitz Thouless transition whereby the excitations of the transverse component of the velocity field (vortices) unbind in space. The latter on the other hand leads to a transition among excitations (warps) in the longitudinal component of the velocity field, which unbind in time. The quantum Ashkin-Teller model, with which the observed loop order in the Cuprates is described maps in the critical regime to the quantum xy model. We also discuss other models which are expected to have similar properties. arXiv:0901.4758v2 [cond-mat.supr-con] 29 Apr 2009 The dissipative quantum 2D xy model was introduced2,3 to describe experiments on ultrathin granular Superconducting films, where it was observed that above a normal-state sheet resistance of order RQ = h/4e2 the resistivity does not decrease towards 0 even at the lowest temperatures studied.4 . The granular superconductor is represented...
