...In the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, scientific and medical experimentation was being conducted in countries like Japan, Germany, the United States and many others. Many experiments that took place during this time period were done on humans, most of which were conducted forcibly and without the consent of its participants. There were two major vanguards that carried out these experiments, one of which was under the rationalization of eugenics. The other was research carried out for war purposes. For example, the development of chemical and biological warfare was being attempted during this time period. The Japanese during WWII had a disturbingly particular interest in the development of biological weapons. According to the documentary “Unit 731: Nightmare in Manchuria” the Japanese conducted research on unknowing human participants in order to develop biological weapons. In 1940 and 1941, Unit 731 bred bubonic plague infested fleas that were then spread by low flying planes over Chinese...

...Research Summary and Ethical Considerations: Support for Hospital Patients & Supported Factors Patient Support is a significant phase in delivering the care. This support should be tailored to each patients in their life situations and individual needs to bring out better outcomes. The article by E. Mattila et al in 2010, is a study of patient support especially emotional and informational support given by the nurses to their patients (Mattila, 2010). The patients need support in the hospital environment to reduce stress and anxiety that in turn, promote the healing and recovery. The article by E. Mattila et al. 2010, support works as a shield for the patients when they are stressed (Mattila, 2010). Access to support is very important through hospitalization as illness and hospitalization are very stressful. Emotional support is essential in providing the quality patient care. Based on patient's age, sex, background and education support will vary. Patients with shorter hospital stays are receiving less support. The article says about named nurse system. It is a system that each patient has a primary nurse who is in charge of planning, coordinating, and providing the care daily. This strengthens nurse-patient relationship, and let them explore their fears and concerns which reduces stress and make them feel comfortable in asking questions and gain confidence and also the support they want. Short staffing and increased workload on units decreases the access to support for...

... ENGLISH I The JPPSS Instructional Sequence Guides are aligned with the LA Comprehensive Curriculum. JPPSS Implementation of Activities in the Classroom Incorporation of activities into lesson plans is critical to the successful implementation of the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum. The Comprehensive Curriculum indicates one way to align instruction with Louisiana standards, benchmarks, and grade-level expectations. The curriculum is aligned with state content standards, as defined by grade-level expectations (GLEs), and organized into coherent, time-bound units with sample activities and classroom assessments to guide teaching and learning. The units in the curriculum have been arranged so that the content to be assessed will be taught before the state testing dates. While teachers may substitute equivalent activities and assessments based on the instructional needs, learning styles, and interests of their students, the Comprehensive Curriculum should be a primary resource when planning instruction. Grade level expectations—not the textbook—should determine the content to be taught. Textbooks and other instructional materials should be used as resource in teaching the grade level expectations. Lesson plans should be designed to introduce students to one or more of the activities, to provide background information and follow-up, and...

...Education Lowers Crime Washington State University Economics 490, SES Capstone Abstract The main objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of education on the crime rate. The majority of people would assume that increased levels of education would lower the crime rate in a given area. This paper helps to reinforce this idea based on the conclusions reached from the research. There are also a few unexpected results such as higher levels of income per capita having higher rates of violent crime. In the end though, the data and research cement the idea that education is a good crime prevention tool. Introduction Crime rates are a concern for every major city in the United States, as well as the world. Why do some cities have higher crime than others? What needs to be done to lower crime rates? These are a few of the questions asked on a daily basis. A very effective tool to fight crime may very well be education. Most Americans would probably prefer to have their tax dollars go towards improving education instead of having to fund a larger police force. Raising education levels is more of a proactive approach whereas adding to the level of law enforcement is retroactive. Prevention is always better than having to fix a problem after it has occurred. The goal of this paper is to compare the relationship between education and crime rates. I will do this by using data on high school enrollment and crime rates per...

...yuhu@mit.edu • mds@cmu.edu Erik Brynjolfsson • Yu (Jeffrey) Hu • Michael D. Smith W e present a framework and empirical estimates that quantify the economic impact of increased product variety made available through electronic markets. While efficiency gains from increased competition significantly enhance consumer surplus, for instance, by leading to lower average selling prices, our present research shows that increased product variety made available through electronic markets can be a significantly larger source of consumer surplus gains. One reason for increased product variety on the Internet is the ability of online retailers to catalog, recommend, and provide a large number of products for sale. For example, the number of book titles available at Amazon.com is more than 23 times larger than the number of books on the shelves of a typical Barnes & Noble superstore, and 57 times greater than the number of books stocked in a typical large independent bookstore. Our analysis indicates that the increased product variety of online bookstores enhanced consumer welfare by $731 million to $1.03 billion in the year 2000, which is between 7 and 10 times as large as the consumer welfare gain from increased competition and lower prices in this market. There may also be large welfare gains in other SKU-intensive consumer goods such as music, movies, consumer electronics, and computer software and hardware. (Consumer Surplus; Product Variety;...

...also in the valuation of assets for balance sheet purposes. Unfortunately, inventory values sometimes are manipulated by management in order to create a more favorable impression. In the following sections, I introduced several differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. I also analysis the possible reasons of information manipulation and influence. In section one and section two respectively I will talk about differences in cost flow assumptions and inventory valuation under both methods. I. COST FLOW ASSUMPTIONS Companies typically purchase merchandise at several different prices. Ending inventory equals the quantity on hand multiply the unit acquisition price. If a company use historical cost to determine the cost of inventory and it purchases inventory at different unit prices, it needs to make an arbitrary choice as to the assumed unit price, because a specific identification of the given items sold and unsold proves both expensive and impossible to achieve. Three major assumptions are First-in, first-out (FIFO), last-in, first-out (LIFO) and weighted average cost. Although the attribute being calculated is historical cost in all methods, the result is arbitrary...

Cartagena, Roland L. Florentino, Mikhael C. Medina, Alexandra Marie P. Peñaflorida, Andrea Raecristine F. G10 – Our Lady of the Assumption December 10, 2014 USED ENGINE OIL AS SIGN PEN INK COMPONENT 2 Abstract This research’s sole purpose is to find an ideal alternative for sign pen ink. Specifically, it aimed to experiment upon the concept of whether or not used engine oil (UEO) can be used as a suitable component for sign pen ink. In doing so, the researchers have conducted a test that makes use of varying amounts of two main ingredients, namely,UEO and pounded charcoal. Throughout the course of the experiment, three types of ink were produced with the compositions of: 70% UEO and 30% powdered charcoal (Ink A), 80% UEO and 20% powdered charcoal (Ink B), and lastly 100% UEO and no charcoal (Ink C). Ink A was recorded to have the highest tone quality and highest viscosity, which was proven through the chromatography test. Ink B was found to be second highest in terms of both tone quality and viscosity, while Ink C exhibited the lowest tone quality and lowest viscosity level. Tone quality was recorded by testing the pens for writing, and viscosity level...

...IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS, VOL. 47, NO. 7, JULY 2012 1585 A 53-nW 9.1-ENOB 1-kS/s SAR ADC in 0.13- m CMOS for Medical Implant Devices Dai Zhang, Student Member, IEEE, Ameya Bhide, Student Member, IEEE, and Atila Alvandpour, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper describes an ultra-low power SAR ADC for medical implant devices. To achieve the nano-watt range power consumption, an ultra-low power design strategy has been utilized, imposing maximum simplicity on the ADC architecture, low transistor count and matched capacitive DAC with a switching scheme which results in full-range sampling without switch bootstrapping and extra reset voltage. Furthermore, a dual-supply voltage scheme allows the SAR logic to operate at 0.4 V, reducing the overall power consumption of the ADC by 15% without any loss in performance. The ADC was fabricated in 0.13- m CMOS. In dual-supply mode (1.0 V for analog and 0.4 V for digital), the ADC consumes 53 nW at a sampling rate of 1 kS/s and achieves the ENOB of 9.1 bits. The leakage power constitutes 25% of the 53-nW total power. Index Terms—ADC, analog-to-digital conversion, leakage power consumption, low-power electronics, medical implant devices, successive approximation. I. INTRODUCTION EDICAL implant devices, such as pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators, target increasingly advanced signal acquisition and signal processing systems. Such devices, which are to be implanted in the human body, require extremely low...

...Measurement in Accounting: What is the Scale? In the last few years the field of accounting has been the subject of a critical review,the intensity of which is increasing as time goes by. Somehow, both within and without the accounting profession, there is a feeling of dissatisfaction with the information generated by the accounting process. Such dissatisfaction is leading to questions about the fundamental bases of Accounting. The practitioner claims to identify,collect,measure,record,analyse and report financial data useful for a variety of purposes. Unfortunately, recent financial turmoil emanating from some of the uses applied to accounting reports is causing accountants and other stakeholders to question the foundations of accounting. Some ask questions like is Accounting a Science or Art? If it is a science, what is its foundation in Science? Are their theories guiding the focus of accounting scholars? Are these theories the result of empirical findings and observations? Are the findings the outcome of diligent and rigorous measurement of phenomena? Does accounting measure any phenomena? Is the accounting phenomena amenable to measurement? Inshort is Accounting a measurement Discipline? Scholars are therefore re-examining the foundations of accounting to determine its suitability as a Science. A Science Discipline is founded on theories which are prediction of phenomena. These predictions are possible because rigorous and precise measurements of phenomena is achieved...
