...Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics will be the main focus of course, but concepts of cell biology, anatomy, physiology and pathology will be incorporated to present a thorough understanding of the action of drugs in the human body. The course will not cover all the major drug groups, however. The course will require study and mastery of assigned topics and chapters, and so the textbook is necessary. More importantly, the main educational goal of the class is to develop competencies deemed essential in the field of biomedicine, as reported by the AAMC-HHMI special committee. The course will require that students work through the Blackboard resources of the UM-Flint website. Students are responsible for gaining access to the Internet as needed. It is highly suggested that students avail of the resources of the UM Flint library and computer labs as much as possible. Course Objectives 1. To know basic pharmacologic terms and definitions 2. To understand concepts specific to pharmacology 3. To apply these basic concepts to the use of commonly known drugs 4. To analyze the relationship of drug action to physiologic signs and symptoms Textbook (Required) Brody’s Human Pharmacology (Molecular to Clinical) 5th Edition, by Lynn Wecker with Lynn Crespo, George Dunaway, Carl Faingold and Stephanie Watts (Mosby Elsevier) Independent study of the assigned book chapters/pages is essential, as directed by specific learning objectives, to be made available as the course...

...these preferences play a predominant part of choosing a soul mate, further indicating that people seek a marital partner with characteristics similar to their own. I. Introduction Over the past several decades, there has been an increased discussion and study in social issues among economists (Becker 1973). One of the most prominent topics that has been studied and continues to be researched is the issue of marriage. For many Americans, deciding to marry and who to marry to are often considered the most important choices an individual can make. Furthermore, social scientists are particularly interested in the mating process as it can provide a unique insight on the characteristics of household demographics. The primary purpose of this paper will be examining how marriages are formed and which individual preferences influence spousal selection. A theoretical framework will be shown using the work provided by some of the most prominent academics whom have written on the topic of marriage. The framework will...

...Trinidad and Tobago International economics holds the hypothesis that it’s impossible for a country to simultaneously execute: 1. A fixed exchange rate 2. Free capital movement and, 3. An independent monetary policy This trilemma or “Impossible Trinity” as it is commonly referred to, is one of those aspects of the nature of things, like scarcity and asymmetric information that makes life difficult. Specifically, the trilemma means that a country can follow only two of the three aforementioned policies at once. To keep exchange rates fixed, the central bank must either restrict capital flows or give up its control over the domestic money supply, interest rates, and price level. This means that a country must make difficult decisions about which variables it wants to control and which it wants to give up to outside forces. The four major international monetary regimes; specie standards, managed fixed exchange rate, free float and managed float differ, so to speak, in their solution to the trilemma. This paper focuses however, on the managed float as it relate to the Trinidad and Tobago economy. The managed float exchange rate system A managed float exchange rate system is an international financial arrangement, whereby central banks intervene only periodically, not necessarily to support a country's currency, but rather to stabilize volatile fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. A managed float is sometimes called a "dirty float" because exchange rates are free...

...cinema e televisão estão buscando espaço neste mercado. Em média, um compositor recebe cerca de $2,000 a cada minuto de música gravada em um vídeo game. Valor muito superior ao recebido por compositores de outras mídias de maneira geral. Um jogo famoso pode chegar a render até meio milhão de dólares para seus compositores. A demanda por compositores para vídeo games cresceu tanto, que a universidade de Berklee decidiu abrir duas turmas voltadas para este mercado no começo de 2015, as quais foram lotadas em questão de minutos. Um jogo possui em média cerca de sessenta minutos de música. Porém, pode ser jogado por dias, até mesmo meses. Durante esse tempo, o jogador é exposto repetidamente às músicas do game, que passam a compor sua própria imagem, criando um vínculo com o jogo o qual dificilmente se cria em qualquer outra mídia, como cinema ou televisão. Deste modo, podemos ressaltar que a música é de extrema importância para o marketing do jogo. Sua própria existência traz todo tipo de recordações e reconhecimento aos jogadores. Basta alguns minutos do tema de Super Mario Bros ou The Legendo of Zelda tocar que para que qualquer jogador se recorde de todas as aventuras vividas e esteja ansioso pelo lançamento de um novo jogo. Figura [ 1 ] - Dados divulgados pela Universidade de Berklee Participar do desenvolvimento de uma música para um game de sucesso também pode ser um grande impulso na carreira de um músico.

...Perceived Effects of Online Games to the Academic Performances among Students under the College of Business Administration Education at University of Mindanao (UM) Leynard Bangkulit Romeo Dimiao Russel Anthony Junsay Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study In 1958, the world’s first world computer game, a rudimentary two-player tennis game, was created to entertain visitors on the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Since then, the computer/video game industry has become one the most aggressively growing business sectors in the United States and in the whole world. Obviously, games are emerging as one of the most dominant forms of entertainment. This trend goes further as of the increasing penetration of high speech Internet connection and the declining prices of computers, video-game consoles, and mobile entertainment devices. (Lee, Jin, Park, & Kang, 2005) As we know, Internet offers many conveniences. As a result it has made many people depend on it. What is worse, a large number of people have become addicted, especially to online game addiction. By2007, the population of online gamers worldwide was about 217 million, approximately 28 percent of the total online population (comScore,2007).In addition, online game addiction is prevalent in many countries, including China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, U.S., and Canada. In South Korea, 2.4 percent of the population, ages nine to thirty-nine, were believed to be addicted to online games, and over 10 percent...

...generated under the gate bias GAA SiNW TFET has high Ion and steep subthreshold swing. It is shown for the first time that subthreshold swing S is proportional to the diameter of the SiNW TFET and decreasing the diameter will lead to a better Ion /Ioff ratio. Device design and physics detailing the impact of drain and source engineering was discussed for SiNW TFET for lower off-state leakage current and a higher Ion with a steeper subthreshold swing S. Lastly, we have also investigated the effect of using high-k dielectric material and shorter gate length for SiNW for the future device applications. I. INTRODUCTION gate modulation gives a better Subthreshold swing which is smaller than 60 mV/decade and Lower Ioff Leakage Current of 10-14 A/um.[1],[2] Apart from Tunneling Field-Effect Transistor (TFET), Si Nanowires MOSFETs have been considered as the novel channel materials for the next-generation FET-type devices due to their novel material having promising device performance and novel transport characteristics. The outstanding performance of Si NW MOSFET is already shown in terms of high Ion /Ioff ratio and good subthreshold swings.[3],[4] We would integrate the SiNW to the channel of the TFET...

...English learner ENGLISH LEARNER SHADOWING PROJECT Part I Description Shadowing Project Rationale Throughout the shadowing projects, so much valuable information about English Language Learners and how they learn was gained. Although the student I chose is very bright, he does have disabilities that permits his growth academically therefore qualifying him for Special Education services. This student moved to the United States at the age of 12. He spoke no English at all and had accomplished to learn English on his own determination by speaking with his adoptive parents, playing video games, and watching television. After enrolling in school he was classified and enrolled as an English Language Learner. This student has excelled at tremendous speeds. Now that he is a junior in high school, he is at a high L3 and by test scores would be considered an advanced L4 or early L5. Due to his disability and being in Special Ed classes, he will never be able to advance past a L3 status in high school. As my student was observed one could not help to observe other English language Learners in the class. You will quickly realized that no matter what part of the world people come from weather it is from Mexico, Japan, Iraq Africa or Russia, all English Language Learners begin the learning process at the same starting point, the basics. This shadowing project took place in a Junior Resource English class at Frontier High School. The student that was observed was...

...Kadampa Buddhism Tobias Nelson Axia College of University of Phoenix HUM130 Religions of the World Ed Sinclair January 7, 2010 Overview Through out this course, many different religions have been discussed, and many facts of each that were unknown to me previously, have been communicated and explained to me through our instructor, text, and discussions with fellow students. While many of these religions had interesting histories and figures, the one that intrigued me and stood out from the rest, was Buddhism. I had the pleasure of visiting a Buddhist meditation center in Seattle, and sat down and discussed the basic principles and beliefs of Buddhism with one of the meditation center practitioners. I will explain in this report the foundation and important figures within Kadampa Buddhism, and how they formed this particular branch of Buddhism; the meditation center and the daily practices; the practitioner that I interviewed and how Buddhism has transformed his life; compare and contrast Kadampa Buddhism with Islam; and conclude with a brief summary of what I personally learned from this experience. Buddhism Buddhism started more than 2000 years ago in India by a man who grew up with every worldly desire that a human could want, but it was these desires, and seeing the “four sights,” that drove him away from his family and his wealth. He lived a life of poverty and suffering, which he believed would be the way to find total liberation from suffering. Realizing...
