- ... businesses to play a part in this global economy. In order to become a profitable player in a worldwide market firms, need powerful information and communication systems (5). Many countries are experiencing the third economic revolution. These countries include the United States, Japan, Germany and other major industrial powers. This revolution, which is now in progress, is transforming itself into a knowledge and information based service economy.

- 952: Genome Sequencing
- Genome Sequencing Microbiology has entered the realm of genome sequencing. This biological revolution is opening up new dimensions in our view of life. In 1995, a report on the entire DNA sequence for the genome of the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae was published . Although the genomes for a number ... of the organisation of life was that all living things were either plant or animal in nature. In 1990, a proposal for a new, natural system of organisms was published, based on the rRNA sequencing revolution. The more recent genome sequencing era has supported this original proposal, and as a result three domains of life are currently recognised; Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya, as shown in the universal phylogenetic tree below. When ... As such, the procaryotic definition is a negative one that offers no meaningful phylogenetic information. In the 1950's it became feasible to define procaryotes positively, on the basis of shared molecular characteristics, although this revolution, as mentioned earlier did take some time to develop. The sequencing of the M. jannaschii genome has also given some insights into the archaea's evolutionary relationships to the bacteria and the eucarya. It ...

- ... and waterpower for milling grain have also been used nearly as long. The development of the steam engine by George Stephenson in the late 1700 s was the technological breakthrough that led to the industrial revolution. For the first time in human history transportation could be provided without the use of domesticated animals. Steam engines were used in steam locomotives, steam tractors and steam ships (B.Nebel and R.Wright 1995 ... led to a switch to coal as the major source for fuel and energy. As well as powering steam engines coal became widely used for heating, cooking and industrial processes. Air pollution during the Industrial revolution was far worse than anything seen today. Apart from the smoke and fumes obscuring visibility, they also caused major health problems to the inhabitants of the industrial areas reducing life expectancies, predominantly with respiratory diseases ... atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, and their major contribution to what is known as the greenhouse effect have been well documented. One of the main contributors to this is carbon dioxide (CO ). Following the industrial revolution the combustion of fossil fuels, together with deforestation, has caused an increase in concentration of atmospheric CO by 26% (K. Pickering et al 1995). The global air temperature of the earth is increasing; the ...

In his book, Tea, Jamie Shalleck states that ¡§tea reached Germany and then France from Dutch sources.¡¨ (Shalleck 45) At first, reports Shalleck, ¡§French medical authorities were on guard;¡¨ some Seventeenth Century doctors approved tea¡¦s medical benefits, while others ridiculed it ¡§as both cure and mental stimulant.¡¨ (Shalleck 47) Eventually French medical authorities argued that tea did have medicinal properties, but to realize its benefits, tea must be ¡§properly administered.¡¨ (Shalleck 49) In 1759, tea became listed in Nicholas Lemery¡¦s Dictionnaire Universel des Drogues Simples ...

- 955: Evolution 2
- ... the theory of evolution. There are three main theories of evolution, which are, the early theories proposed by Comte de Buffon, Baron Cuvier, and Lamarck, the synthetic theory, and the Darwin theory. In the 1700s, French naturalists, Comte de Buffon and Baron Cuvier concluded with the studies of fossils and comparative anatomy that life on earth had endured many changes through a long period of time. In the early 1800s, another French naturalist named Lamark, proposed the first complete theory of evolution. He observed through is observations, depending on the extent to which the use of the structure, that an animal s body structure is able to ... Theodosius and German Ernst Mayr, and the British geneticist and statistician Ronald A. Fisher. Together, they proposed the synthetic theory which combined Darwin s theory of natural selection with the ideals of genetics. In 1808, French naturalist Chevalier de Lamarck contemplated a theory of evolution, although, his theory of evolution did not gain any recognition until 1858. In 1858, British naturalist Charles R. Darwin furnished his theory of evolution, also ...

- ... a certain race for example. World War 1 marked the first time that there was a large-scale use of gas in warfare. The Germans dispersed 168 tons of Chlorine gas from cylinders against the French Salient at Ypres. Total surprise was achieved, but the success of this attack was not very good (Graham 1998). This attack resulted in over 5,000 allied casualties, the loss or 60 guns and huge quantities of supplies.

George Sorel, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Georg Hegal are main philosophers who's beliefs and ideologies greatly influenced the shaping of Fascist theory. Sorel (1847-1922) was a French social philosopher who had a major influence on Mussolini. Sorel believed that societies naturally became decadent and disorganized. This decay could only be slowed by the leadership of idealists who were willing to use violence ...

- ... who are responsible for making the use of birth control acceptable in America. The major event being World War I. In World War I there was a lot of usage of whore houses by the French and English soldiers. A major problem with the French and English governments allowing men to go to the whorehouses was that there was rapid spread of VD. A soldier that is suffering from herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea doesn’t fight too well. President Wilson ... shown pictures and movies that showed what various vaginal diseases looked like, and what they would do to a mans sex organs. This was an effective in stopping the American soldiers from going to the French whorehouses. Another program the U.S. Government instituted to stop the spread of VD was to give out condoms to the soldiers. The government, however, wasn’t condoning sex with the free condoms. Printed ...
