...Victoria Vaughn Irish geneaology.com as well as irish roots site say that Cork is a irish name and that cork was settled by irish immigrants almost exclusively. The name, a transfer name is derived from County Cork in Ireland, and the impressive cork oats that grew in he area. County Cork is in the Southwest region in the province of Munster. IT is the third most populous county on the island of Ireland. There are three great rivers and is dominated by marshes and grasslands with woodlands.Surnames were Mc Carthy, Callaghan, and Mc Aulffie to name a few. The landscape that once started with huts by the sea, populated only at first by monks, rancheros and indians later turned into a bustling city with farms, villas and a huge cathedral dotted by many other littlechurches of differing christian faiths. The early settlers were well educated and came from wealthy backgrounds from the southern counties of Ireland. Different architectural stlyes reflect a long history in town, There is some mention of Danish vikings settling down south of Finbares monastary; and trading with the Gaelic/irish community. Germantown assosiative name. junction: as one might expect, it was populated mostly by german immigrants with small mention of french, english and high dutch. One of the landmarks is the Germantown academy, famous for medicine practices, but had applied sciences in general.

...Case study notes This case has been updated to include the Apple iPad. Principally this is case explores the issue of licensing and how successful firms can become unsuccessful. It is not a case about Apple and why it has become successful. This case study explores the rise of the Apple Corporation. The Apple iPod is one of the most successful new product launches in recent years, transforming the way the public listens to music, with huge ramifications for major record labels. More than 50 million MP3 players are expected to be sold in 2005; over a third more than last year. Mobile phones have long been regarded as the most credible challengers to MP3 players and iPods. The launch of digital download services via mobile phones illustrates the dramatic speed of convergence between the telecom and media industries, which many observers expect to usher in a new era of growth for mobile phones. Users are willing to pay more for additional services and many analysts predict that mobile phone handsets will eventually emerge as the dominant technology of the age, combining personal organisers, digital music players and games consoles in a single device. Indeed, Microsoft founder Bill Gates has predicted that mobile phones will supersede the iPod as the favoured way of listening to digital music. The launch of the Apple ipad in 2010 makes this case even more topical. This should form the basis of supplementary questions at the end of the case: How will the iPhone succeed? What about...

Rosebelle Ann T. Hernandez, Angelica Q. Linsangan, Ma. Cristina Palon, Kristine B. Pascual, Katrina Paula P. Taruc, Kenneth Mae A. 2016 Review of Related Literature Nutrition, nourishment, or aliment, is the supply of materials - food - required by organisms and cells to stay alive. In science and human medicine, nutrition is the science or practice of consuming and utilizing foods. Eating too much fat can increase the risk for a number of health threats. Fat contains 9 calories per gram. That means fat packs more than twice as many calories as carbohydrates and protein, which both have 4 calories per gram. The body needs fat to survive, but it’s wise to eat this important nutrient in moderation. (Mehmetz, O. 2010) Milk fat has the most complex fatty acid composition of the edible fats. Milk products contain up to 16 nutrients that are essential for health. Calcium, vitamin D and protein are some of the nutrients in milk products that keep the body functioning properly and could help reduce the risk of certain diseases. (DairyNutrition. Consulted 2010.) Cultured Milk Cultured Milk is a probiotic dairy product made by fermenting a...

...like both of those, it is strong like armor, but it is able to let certain substances go through. In real life, we know that it is neither of those objects and is actually very small. A plant cell is on average 10 to 100 micrometers in size. The cell wall is the outermost layer of the cell. It is most commonly found in plant cells and is also only found once in a cell. The cell wall might not be found in all types of cells, but it is a very important part of the cells that depend on it. In 1665, Robert Hooke discovered the cell wall. He was observing cork under a microscope. He saw what resembled small rooms that were called cells. What he was looking at were actually dead cell walls. His observation did not show the other organelles that are found in living cells. It wasn’t until 1674 that Anton van Leeuwenhoek would observe a living cell wall. Robert Hooke made a great advancement in science by deciding to look at a cork under a microscope. The cell wall does not work alone. It works with the vacuole. As the vacuole swells with water it presses against the cell wall. If the vacuoles have a healthy amount of water it will keep the plant from wilting. Even if there is a drought the cell wall will keep the plant’s shape, but without the vacuole keeping pressure on the cell wall it will wilt. With the help of the vacuole, the cell wall keeps the plant standing tall. The cell wall helps the cell in many useful ways. It helps the plant keep its shape and remain strong. The...

...People Need to Dependent on Technology Technology products are quintessential to human being’s knowledge. Technology products include computer, cell phones, cars and so on. Since technology products have been invented, they bring a lot of benefits. However, some people doubt that technology products are bad for people. Some people think that technology products have strong radiation; that they may hurt people’s bodies, such as headaches and damage to the eyes. Also, technology products update very quickly. People need to have more time and energy to learn how to use them and use them well. This may cause people to feel restless and anxious. Even though there are some disadvantages showing those technology products are bad for people, the good effects still outweigh the disadvantages. This essay focuses on how computers bring people a lot of help. People need to dependent on technology, such as computers can help people to calculate, computers make people’s lives easier, computers make people less lonely and computers have the equivalent of human intelligence. Computers can help people to calculate. In scientific research and engineering design, there are many complicated numerical computations. Sometimes people cannot calculate them using human knowledge. They need to depend on computers, because computers are good at solving these complex precise mathematical problems. Computers also make fewer mistakes. According to Wilson and Redish, people want to use computers to teach...

...been much advancement in the design and the types of telescopes used. Besides the early refracting telescope used by Galileo or the more modern reflecting telescope used by Hubble, the telescope has changed the way look at the cosmos and what we know of the universe. Telescopes are classified by the task performed. Some names given to the different types of telescopes are astrograph, comet seeker, graphic telescope infrared telescope, solar telescope, space telescope, or zenith telescope The invention of the telescope in the 17th century has brought forth many significant discoveries but none more significant then that of the Earth, Moon and other planets orbit around the sun. Of course the advancements in telescopes, technologies and sciences have brought forth many discoveries but this is by far in my opinion is the most significant. Without the accurate knowledge of our universe and our place in it, our view of those issues and all that is supported by the notion of the idea that the Earth is the center of the universe is fundamentally flawed.

...Change in Potato Cells Due to the Effects of Osmosis (AYE YO POTATO! HOW MUCH OSMOLARITY YOU GOT?) Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the osmolarity of a potato. Osmolarity is defined as the solute concentration expressed as molarity. Lerner and Lerner (2008) define osmosis as the movement of water across a membrane that is selectively permeable. Osmosis is important in plant cells because it plays a role in regulating guard cells, which are cells that are on the surface of a plant’s leaves and control the opening of the stoma. When the stoma is open, it increases the water movement out of the plant by a process called transpiration. When there is a shortage of water, the guard cells well get smaller and close the stomata, and the transpiration process will move slower. The osmolarity would be tested with solute concentrations ranging from 0.0 M to 0.6 M. The concentrations increased 0.1 M each time and the solute used was sucrose. The goal of this experiment was to determine which concentration had the least effect on the potato after being incubated. This information helped us estimate the osmolarity of the potato tuber tissue. Our group hypothesis is that the osmolarity of the potato will have the concentration with the 0.1 M solution. This hypothesis is based off the predicted outcome that smaller molarity concentrations will have the least effect on the potato. The more solute added to a solution decreases the concentration of water in most cases (Kosinski)...

...Provision of adequately priced drugs for the underprivileged and senior citizens is a key challenge for the industry. Social activists would argue that in the case of drugs for global epidemics such as AIDS, the industry has a social responsibility to supply these drugs at affordable costs. The effect of intense media and political attention has resulted in increasing efforts by the industry to provide reduced-cost drugs for use in poor nations. Technological: Advancements in modern science and related technologies have forced industry players to continually adapt their R&D approaches. Traditional processes and approaches have been replaced by advancements in gene therapies and new methods for searching for potential drugs. The sector is in transition from large scale Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacture to targeted and complex biotechnological treatments. In Ireland we see evidence of this in the construction of large biotechnology facilities by BMS in Dublin and Eli Lilly in Cork and the takeover of Wyeth by Pfizer and the incorporation of the world’s largest biotechnology site in Grangecastle into Pfizer’s portfolio. Environmental: The Pharmaceutical industry like most other industries is under increasing pressure to go green, to make efficient use of natural resources and to minimize the environmental impact of their activities and their products over their life cycle. The cost of an incident or chemical spill in terms of reputational damage to a company can...

...Kelly Thomer Sports History Why Aluminum Bats should be Banned from the NCAA Crack! That was the sound of our nation's pastime in the early days of baseball. For nearly 125, years the wooden bat was used in every level of baseball. In Tom's River, New Jersey, the little league World Series is held every summer. Ping! This is the only sound that a spectator will hear during one of those baseball games. What happened to the old-fashioned crack of the bat? The wooden bat has been used in professional baseball since the game's establishment in 1864. An aluminum bat is more dangerous than a wooden bat due to the advanced technology of the aluminum bat, but offers a greater impact to a ball than a wooden bat could. For college ball players hoping to make it to the majors, they should be using the equipment required by the MLB in order to be the most prepared. Also, it makes it harder for scouts to determine how a player will perform under different conditions. This is why I believe the NCAA should play with the same standards as the MLB. The baseball bat controversy has been lingering over amateur baseball since the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) allowed the use of aluminum bats for the first time in 1974 (Adelson). Every year there is another injury to a pitcher as a result of the aluminum bat due to its exit velocity. The exit velocity of a ball plays a key role in determining the level of risk of injury. It is defined as the speed of the ball off the...

...Interpretation of the Self Concept in a consumer The Social Homebird This subject is a 21 year old female living in Cork. She is studying nutritional science in UCC. From the analysis of the interview conducted with her we have hopefully gained some insight into her self concept. Almost immediately in the interview it becomes apparent that she has a close connection with her family. When asked how long she has been baking for she tells us that she’s been baking “forever, my Mam and I used to spend all weekend baking together when I was younger”. To even further the point that family is of great importance to her she says that one of the things she would do if she won the lotto was go and spend time in Thailand with her family who were over there visiting her sister. “I think I would go to Thailand, I’ve been there before, it’s a beautiful country and because my sister just moved out there and it would be nice to see her. Plus my parents, my brother, his wife and child are just gone out to visit her for three weeks so it would be a lot of fun”. She further cements the importance of family by saying that if she had won the lotto she would donate some of the money to charity, rather than buying designer bags. The reason for the donation to the respective charities is because someone in her family had suffered from an illness the charities support “If I could spread it out I would but if not maybe to Alzheimer’s research or cancer research. I’ve had people that were affected by...

...work, proportional to the total matter and antimatter mass, in accord with the mass-energy equivalence equation, E=mc2. Antiparticles have been found in cosmic rays, and are also produced in particle accelerators also known as atom smashers. An antiparticle never lasts for very long, because shortly after it forms, it encounters one of its equivalent matter particles, and both are annihilated, yielding pure energy.( Thompson 1997) Artificially produced antimatter can have some practical applications, especially in medical science, where it is involved in the operation of positron emission tomography scanning equipment. Antimatter has been suggested as a possible propellant for spacecraft, a source of energy for public consumption, and as material for a doomsday bomb that would vaporize the earth. (G. Weidenspointner et al. 2008) The discovery of antimatter is one of the most important scientific events of the twentieth century. Big discoveries in science are a result of chance most of the time . However, the existence of antimatter was predicted before anybody had actually been able to observe it in the real world. In 1928, British physicist Paul Dirac wrote down an equation that combined quantum...
