- 2221: Pay For Student Athletes
- ... is the issue of whether student athletes should be paid or receive any form of monetary compensation. The NCAA rules committee has stood strong on its stand that athletes who receive scholarships should go to school and should not need any more money to support themselves. But students and some coaches think their rules are to harsh and the NCAA should pay student athletes or let them find ways to make ... College athletes should not be paid the extravagant amount of money that the professionals are paid. They are amateurs and should be treated as so. But small amounts of money to help them through the school year should be allowed. It would be too much to ask of athletes to hold jobs, go to school full-time and play college athletics. By paying them they would help them out greatly. People argue that by paying college athletes, it would blur the line between professional sports and amateur sports. But ...
- 2222: Cross-Cultural Ethics
- ... occur, although they are of a long-term nature and are incapable of being measured with any precision. The following are some of these possible benefits: 1. It seems almost certain that the maintenance of high ethical standards in a company creates an environment in which very costly violations of the law are less likely to occur(Gilbert 174). 2. Such standards also may reduce the likelihood of new government regulations ... the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, for example, was passed by Congress primarily in response to revelations about widespread bribery by American companies in overseas transactions(174). 3. It also seems reasonable to assume that a high moral tone within a company will have a positive impact on employee morale and productivity.

Callahan and Jennings discussed the concept of cognitive dissonance. Employees and managers should experience less "cognitive dissonance," a ...

- 2225: Gold And Its Uses
- ... or extended into extraordinarily thin sheets. For example, one ounce of gold can be hammered into a 100 square foot sheet. Gold is the most reflective and least absorptive material of infrared (or heat) energy. High purity gold reflects up to 99% of infrared rays. Gold is also an excellent conductor of thermal energy or heat. Since many electronic processes create heat, gold is necessary to transfer heat away from delicate ... to the leaching circuit where cyanide dissolves the gold. Sulfide refractory ore without carbon is oxidized in an autoclave to liberate the gold from sulfide minerals, then it is sent to the leaching circuit. Treated, high-grade ore is leached with cyanide. The gold is absorbed out of solution onto activated carbon. The remaining cyanide solution is recycled. The gold loaded carbon is moved into a vessel where the gold is ... up to 90 % gold. Dore' bars are then sent to an external refinery to be refined to bars of 999.9 parts per thousand pure gold. The prime use is in electronics. Our age of high technology finds it indispensable in everything from pocket calculators to computers, washing machines to television and missiles to spacecraft.

- ... industry and agriculture within the United States, and between the U.S. and Europe. This imbalance of wealth created an unstable economy. The excessive speculation in the late 1920's kept the stock market artificially high, but eventually lead to large market crashes.

The ... business world, the Federal Reserve Board kept the rediscount rate low. The federal government favored the new industries as opposed to agriculture.

This made sense during ... distribution of wealth was tariff policy of the United States.

- 2227: Iron Increases Heart Disease
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) has afflicted man throughout history. Diet and hereditary factors obviously are the key components in developing this condition. Foods high in cholesterol and saturated fats are often implicated in hastening or aggravating heart disease. Many disease states such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension have also been shown to increase a persons chances for CAD. Heart ... showed the risk of CAD was not related to serum transferrin levels in white men or women. Indeed, an inverse association of total body iron stores and overall mortality was shown, that is moderate to high serum transferrin associated with lower mortality. In a similar study, 6086 men and 6102 women, who were randomly chosen, were followed for 14 years having frequent serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) levels ... from these strong risk factors, and has led to intense preoccupation with weaker risk factors such as cholesterol. Which as he states, "has become a rigid and institutional point of view to determine CAD risk". High iron may indirectly cause damage to coronary arteries due to increased oxidation. Hauenschild et al, (1997) report that the association between nutrition and coronary heart disease is mainly due to the effect of nutrients ...

- 2230: Hypotheses of the Effects of Wolf Predation
- ... regulatory factor, such as food availability. However, they go on to point out that this upper limit will not be sustainable, but will eventually lead to resource depletion and population decline. Seip (1992) found that high wolf predation on caribou in the Quesnel Lake area resulted in a decline in the population, while low wolf predation in the Wells Gray Provincial Park resulted in a slowly increasing population. Wolf predation at the Quesnel Lake area remained high despite a fifty percent decline in the caribou population, indicating that mortality due to predation was not density-dependent within this range of population densities. Dale et al. (1994), in their study of wolves and ... following deviation, prey populations return to their pre-existing equilibrium levels. This predator regulating hypothesis proposes that predation is a density-dependent mechanism affecting low to intermediate prey densities, and a density-independent mechanism at high prey densities. Some research supports predation as a regulating mechanism. Messier (1985), in a study of moose near Quebec, Canada, draws the conclusion that wolf-ungulate systems, if regulated naturally, stabilize at low prey ...
