- ... One cause of resistance could be drug abuse. There are people who believe that when they get sick, antibiotics are the answer. The more times you use a drug, the more it will decrease the effect it has on you. That is because the bacteria has found a way to avoid the effects of that antibiotic. Another cause of resistance is the improper use of drugs. When patients feel that the ... completely finished. If it is not, then this will just give the bacteria some time to find a way to avoid the effects of the drug. One antibiotic that will always have a long lasting effect in history is penicillin. This was the first antibiotic ever to be discovered. Alexander Fleming was the person responsible for the discovery in 1928. In his laboratory, he noticed that in some of his bacteria ...
- 822: Gas Laws (cemistry)
- ... common Celsius scale of temperature. The measurements of the French chemists used the very similar Reaumur scale (water freezes at 0oRe and boils at 80oRe) to establish the law of Charles. The study of the effect of temperature upon the properties of gases took considerably longer to achieve a simple quantitative relation than did study of the effect of pressure, primarily because the development of a quantitative scale of temperature was a difficult process. However, once such a scale was developed, the appropriate measurements were made, primarily by the French chemist Jacques Charles ...
- 823: The Stroop Phenomenon
- ... was faster than when a congruent word was present. Therefore pictures activate the name code. Another experiment (Experiment 2) indicated that memory for pictures and words, whether they were initially named or categorized had an effect on memory. Memory was better for words if they have been categorized and for pictures if they have been named. Experiment 3 showed the same results as the previous two experiments. The fourth experiment, with ... response was faster than in non- conflicting situations; but accuracy suffered. Subject 2 was more accurate (100%) but was slower in responding. Just as in the research done by Smith and Magee, there was an effect by the presence of an incongruent (conflicting) stimuli. Also when there is a congruent (same) stimuli present, response becomes quick, as there is a much faster processing rate which occurs. There is also support that ...
- 824: The Crucible - Witch Trials
- ... in horror and began to repeat everything they heard. Finally, the girls' hysterics caused Mary Warren to accuse John Proctor of witchcraft. Once the scam started, it was too late to stop, and the snowballing effect of wild accusations soon resulted in the hanging of many innocents. After the wave of accusations began, grudges began to surface in the community. Small slights were made out to be witchcraft, and bad business ... in horror and began to repeat everything they heard.

- 825: Sonnet 138
- ... wants her to think of him as a "youth," but also to see him as simple, naïve, unsophisticated, "untutored." At the same time as he is deceiving himself by believing her lies, he is in effect mirroring her actions. He presents himself as "made of truth" by establishing himself as an innocent, "Unlearnèd in the world’s false subtleties." Shakespeare begins the second stanza with a wonderful pun. "Vainly thinking" refers ... times throughout the poem the speaker seems to be trying to "teach" the reader something: take, for example, the rhetorical questions asked at the beginning of the third stanza. They are aimed at producing an effect on listeners, and contribute greatly to the sense that, in retrospect, the entire poem seems to be something of a performance: aimed at an audience, rather than at the speaker’s "love." Perhaps, then, the ...
- 826: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
- ... he changes to a lighter, flowing tone. His change in tone shows that he thinks it is important, and that he recognizes it's beauty. On page 88 Twain shows his displeasure with people's effect on nature when he writes about the steamboat that, " now and then would belch a whole world of sparks up out of her chimbleys." Soon after Twain writes, "The nice breeze springs up and comes ... in the sun." The change in tone clearly shows his opinion of people, and their affect on nature. Those examples of his writing show his opinion of nature, and his disdain of people's negative effect on it. He takes much more care when describing nature, and comes out a bit blunt when writing about civilization. He carefully crafts his words toward nature to show it's peacefulness and serenity. The ...
- 827: Hitler And Gleichchaltung
- ... the regime required it. Hindenburg made a massive error by giving Hitler major power even though he believed the Communist threat was a real and serious problem to Germany. The move armed the government, in effect Hitler himself, with tyrannical powers of enormous scope and were destined to remain in force until the Third Reich's downfall twelve years later. With the ordinance of February 28 one could say that the ... the regime required it.

- 828: Anti-Matter
- ... both elements are released in a spectacular blast of energy. Electrons and positrons come together and vanish into high-energy gamma rays (plus a certain number of harmless neutrinos, which pass through whole planets without effect). Hitting ordinary matter, 1 kg of anti-matter explodes with the force of up to 43 million tons of TNT - as though several thousand Hiroshima bombs were detonated at once. So how can anti-matter ... stored? Space seems the only place, both for storage and for large-scale production. On Earth, gravity will sooner or later pull any anti-matter into disastrous contact with matter. Anti-matter has the opposite effect of gravity on it, the anti-matter is 'pushed away' by the gravitational force due to its opposite nature to that of matter. A way around the gravity problem appears at CERN, where fast moving ...
- 829: The Stranger 2
- ... mind being his pal, and he seemed set on it. (Camus, 33) Once again, Meursault s attitude makes it seem that he doesn t really care if he is Raymond s pal. It has no effect of him, but it will help out Raymond, so he ll be his pal. When Meursault is asked to deal with serious relationship questions and issues, he shows his indifference again. Because Meursault becomes romantically ... could if she wanted to I explained to her that it didn t really matter and that if she wanted to, we could get married. (Camus, 41) Marriage is an issue that would have no effect on Meursault. The only way it would matter to him would be if it made Marie happy, so she took my arm with a smile and said she wanted to marry me. I said we ...
- 830: Shawshank Redemption
- ... an expanse of gray lifeless concrete blocks and bars. The surroundings however are picturesque, the true beauty of nature in bloom, no more evident than when the men are tarring the roof in summer. The effect of this is to immediately evoke within the viewer, the idea that Shawshank exists to contain individuals from the outside world, to torment them with the beauty of nature, yet, force them to exist in a world of ugliness and hatred. Every scene within the prison is framed by bars and dark sombre grays or blues as backdrop, the effect of which is to indicate the oppressive nature of life in "inside" and the dominance of the prison in the lives of every individual. The repression of Shawshank, as well as the enforced routine, is ...
