- 371: Capital Punishment: Against
- ... men. Innocent men again were put to death, this time due to their skin color. This is just another reason leading to how poor our justice system is, and why it should not be in effect. There are few oppositions to not having the death penalty in effect. The main concern with not having the death penalty in effect is that people would not care as much when they committed a crime. Now, if the death penalty was in effect, people would think twice about their mistake before committing it. The quote, an ...
- 372: Nuclear / Particle Physics Effects of the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- ... destructive way of killing people known to man would have to be the atomic bomb. The reason why the atomic bomb is so destructive is that when it is detonated, it has more than one effect. The effects of the atomic bomb are so great that Nikita Khrushchev said that the survivors would envy the dead (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, 1982). These devastating physical effects come from ... deal of damage is done (Physicians and Scientists on Nuclear War, 1981). A fireball is created by the blast, which consists mainly of dust and gasses. The dust produced in this fireball has no substantial effect on humans or their environment. However, as the gasses expand a blast wave is produced. As this blast wave moves, it creates static overpressure. This static overpressure then in turn creates dynamic pressure. The static ... bomb's damage. Thermal radiation can come in either one of three forms; ultraviolet radiation, visible radiation, or infrared radiation. The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed so rapidly by air particles that it has no substantial effect on people (World Book, 1990). However, the visible and infrared radiation creates an enormous amount of heat to be produced, approximately ten million degrees Celsius at the hypocenter (Physicians and Scientists on Nuclear War, ...
- 373: Ozone Depletion in the Antarctic
- ... In the past fifteen years, through field and laboratory studies of the food chain and photosynthetic producers in the Antarctic, the importance of marine bacteria in the oceanic process had been affirmed. The major lethal effect of UVR on the marine bacteria is the damage it causes directly to their DNA. There are two types of radiation, UV-A and UV-B. UV-A radiation causes indirect damage to bacteria's ... damage to them is being done now and this damage is resulting in severe consequences for the rest of the world. Phytoplankton are primary producers in the food chain. Any change in their concentration will effect primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. This results in less food for the human race. With a reduction in photosynthesis, a dramatic decrease in photosynthetic oxygen becomes available to the rest of the world. Although these ... New York, 1982.

- ... e" to "u", however, and Kent becomes the phonetic word symbol for the female genital. Keep this in mind as we review Kent ads directed at both male and female smokers (www.embedsevery). The positive effect of embeds is that the advertisers themselves believe that they are helping them sell their products. The negative effect of embeds is that they stimulate one's mind without control. If the viewer looks hard enough, he/she can see some arguably suspicious objects in all sorts of unlikely places.

- 377: Claude Monet and His Painting
- ... Havre. In the Spring of 1862, Monet was called up for National Service. He went to Algeria for a year with a prestigious regiment: les Chaussures d'Afrique . This experience was to have a profound effect on Monet. The landscapes and colours of Alg eria presented an entirely different perspective of the world, one which was to inspire him for many years to come. Theoretically, Monet should have remained in Algeria ... expected smooth surfaces which were in vog ue at the time, Monet's entry was "broadly handled with a loaded brush, giving a rough surface texture and clearly visible brushstrokes, and sacrificing detail to overall effect." Monet persisted in his efforts to appeal to the Acadιmie and during the period from '65 to '66 he painted a number of subjects with varying degrees of success. His last entry, The Woman in ... method of painting is scientific in nature. Monet did not simply walk to the poplar stream, set up his canvas and paint. The ~poplars series is the culmination of an eight month study of the effect of light on a particular scene. Still, Monet cannot claim to have followed his own method of strict scientific representation. The act of creating poplars which told the "truth" required Monet to take consideration ...
- 378: Can One Perceive Or Confirm The Existence Of An Idea Or Object That Is External To Him Mainly - God?
- ... existence. The first is through nature. The second is through feeling an object independent of one's will, for example; heat and cold. The third, and most elaborated upon is the point of cause and effect, or more simply, the objective reality of an idea. We will primarily deal with the third reason of cause and effect. Descartes brings some examples to demonstrate his cause and effect theory. More importantly, is the logic that lies behind the actual theory. The rationale that an object will have an effect is only if it stems from a legitimate cause. A stone, for example, ...
- 379: Human Impact On Air And Climate
- ... the best estimates indicate that natural changes in the brightness of the sun and volcanic emissions both played an important role in governing climate variations over the period studied. But over the past few decades, greenhouse gases produced by human activities appear to have had an increasing influence on temperatures. "The anomalous warmth of several recent years appears likely to be related to human influences on climate," said Mann. The study ... Bradley said. It is known that industrialization during the past century has increased levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere by more than 25 percent over its pre- industrial level. Several so-called greenhouse gases have the potential to heat the atmosphere, Mann said, "but the one we're most concerned about is carbon dioxide, because carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas resulting from industrialization." These greenhouse gases form a sort of blanket around the Earth, trapping in heat that would otherwise be radiated back to space, Mann explained. This causes the Earth's atmosphere ...
- 380: Descartes
- ... than those ideas by which finite substances are represented. Now it is manifest by the natural light that there must be at least as much reality in the efficient and total cause as in its effect; for whence can the effect draw its reality if not from its cause? And how could the cause communicate to it this reality unless it possessed it in itself?" Whence do these principles draw their indubitability? Even if we grant that it is contrary to natural reason that an effect can have greater 'reality' than its cause, that the concepts of modes and substances are coherent with Descartes' method, let alone possess the properties that he ascribes to them, then surely we can still ...
