- 3081: Stress On Police Officers
- ... impulsive act, and the handgun at the officer's side is guaranteed to be lethal in the hands of an experienced shooter. UB professor, John M. Violanti, Ph.D thinks the biggest reason for the high rate of police suicide is because officers think they have nowhere to go for confidential help when personal problems or job stress overwhelms them. "Police officers are more hesitant than the average citizen to get ... to commit suicide. (Apparently cops like their jobs better than their wives). So we see that stress has an enormous effect on police officers lives, especially their home lives. Studies have called police work a "high risk lifestyle". Not high risk in terms of the physical dangers of the job, but a high risk in terms of developing attitudinal problems, behavioral problems, and intimacy and relationship problems. So you learn something about the effects ...
- 3082: The Problems of Conflict
- ... first born of college-educated parents. My parents’ marriage was in great distress, and separation was eminent. A pleasant, sociable, and slightly underweight adolescent, I performed above average academically and had no reported difficulties in school. Recently, however, interactions with peers had become increasingly volatile. In addition to the early teenage “fickleness” of friendships and the competition for male attention, I seemed to react excessively to teasing, namecalling, gossip, and social ostracism that occurred frequently in my shifting peer group. When provoked, I would curse and scream at the other girls in school, and on several occasions I pushed or pulled hair to “get back” at someone perceived as being against me. Following a history of contrariness and stubborn opposition to parental directives, I was becoming increasingly more ... first born of college-educated parents.

- 3083: Climate Change (term Paper)
- ... body of data that has been collected from ice cores that is contributing to studies of environmental change and aiding correlations between polar, continental and ocean sediment records. “The polar ice sheets and those of high tropical mountains are nourished by precipitation from the atmosphere, the composition of which is thus recorded as successive layers of ice accumulate. Such records provide information on environmental change over the past ca. 200K years ... periods....It is the change in the orbital eccentricity that is thought to drive the glacial interglacial cycle. These cycles influence the amount of solar radiation received at the Earth’s surface, especially in the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere.” However, these cycles have proven to have little effect on insolation. Other non-naturally occurring factors are therefore responsible for the climatic changes anticipated. Popular causes are the greenhouse gases ... the dispersion of heat; the impermeable and well-drained surface is less moist, and so less heat is lost through evaporation; and the structures and surfaces typical of the city absorb and retain heat at high rates.” This increased heat may in turn result in fog, storms, precipitation induced by convective heating and pollution condensation. On a larger regional level, the distribution of species will be affected by climatic change, ...
- 3084: A Room With A View
- The Subtle Heroine A Room with a View, by Edward Morgan Foster, presents the story of Lucy Honeychurch, a young woman belonging to English high society. Foster places this young maiden in a state of conflict between the snobbery of her class, the suitable and traditional views and advice offered by various family members and friends, and her true heart ... Lucy, gives her the strength to begin her strength to overcome convention in favor of passion, and lights the fire of her transformation. Next, Foster brilliantly introduces the character of Cecil Vyse, a medieval and high standing Englishman who, while is an acceptable suitor, really only sees Lucy as another pretty possession by his side. Cecil s most important function ironically enough, is to serve as a mirror for Lucy. For ... and transforming from a petty young woman to a subtle heroine.

- 3085: The Catcher in the Rye: Holden's Thoughts and Feelings
- ... only with information of what occurred, but also how he felt about what happened. Holden's thoughts and ideas reveal many of his character traits. One late Saturday night, four days before the beginning of school vacation, Holden is alone, bored and restless, wondering what to do. He decides to leave Pencey, his school, at once and travels to New York by train. He decides that, once in New York, he will stay in a cheap motel until Wednesday, when he is to return home. His plan shows the ... who values honesty and sincerity. He is unimpressed with people who try to look good in other's eyes. Therefore, since it is obvious that Holden is bright, the reason for his flunking out of school would seem to be from a lack of interest. Holden has strong feelings of love towards children as evidenced through his caring for Phoebe, his little sister. He is protective of her, erasing bad ...
- 3086: Platinum
- ... in the gold deposits in California, Nevada, and Oregon. Large amounts also come from the process of refining gold and copper. Platinum is a silverish metal with a hardness of 4.3. It has a high fusing point, is malleable and ductile, it doesn't expand very much when heated, and has high electrical resistance. Chemically the metal is relatively inert and resists attack by air, water, single acids, and other ordinary reagents. It dissolves slowly in aqua regia, forming chloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6); is attacked by halogens; and ... few places, platinum occurs in the metallic state, often alloyed with other platinum metals. Nuggets of the metal weighing up to 9.5 kg (21 lb) have been found. Because of its chemical inertness and high fusing point, platinum is valuable for laboratory apparatus', such as crucibles, tongs, funnels, combustion boats, and evaporating dishes to which small amounts of iridium are usually added to increase its hardness and durability. Platinum ...
- 3087: Images Of Control Progaganda
- ... Socialist hero who was murdered by Communists (Welch, 1983, p. 75). Horst Wessel was an extremely honored figure in Nazi Germany. An example of this opinion was stated in Der Brünnen, January 2, 1934, “How high Horst Wessel towers over that Jesus of Nazareth – that Jesus who pleaded that the bitter cup should be taken from him. High unattainably high all Horst Wessels stand about Jesus!”(Welch, 1983, p. 75) A film that was produced in Germany, in 1933, by the Nazis also glorifies this hero. The film is called Hans Westmar: Einer Von ...
- 3088: An Examination of Similes in the Iliad - and how Homer's Use of Them Affected the Story
- ... death. Near the beginning of Book Three a group of elders of Troy, not fighting material, but skilled orators, are found resting on the tower "like cicadas that chirrup delicately from the boughs of some high tree in a wood." The cicadas song and the "tree in a wood" cast memories of repose and relaxation, rest and peace, which are then injected into the "delicate" elders. Another attempt of Homer to ... Acheans. In Book Twelve we have Polypoetes and Leonteus, defending the gate of the wall to the Greek ships from the invasion of the Trojans. These two imposing characters "stood before the gates like two high oak trees upon the mountains, that tower from their wide-spreading roots, and year after year battle with wind and rain." This simile lends to the characters of the two, Polypoetes and Leonteus, along with ... Paris takes off "as a horse, stabled and fed, breaks loose and gallops gloriously over the plain to the place where he is wont to bathe in the fair- flowing river- he holds his head high, and his mane streams upon his shoulders as he exults in his strength and flies like the wind to the haunts and feeding ground of the mares- even so went forth Paris from high ...
- 3089: Capital Punishment
- ... ready to believe in these statistics and to abandon the deterrence argument. But they defend the death penalty base on other arguments, relying primarily on the need to protect society from killers who are considered high risks for killing again. Incapacitation is another controversial aspect of the death penalty. Abolitionists say condemning a person to death removes any possibility of rehabilitation. They are confident in the life-sentence presenting the possibility ... say the cost of execution has become increasingly expensive and that life sentence is more economical. A study of the Texas criminal system estimated the cost of appealing capital murder at $2,316,655. This high cost includes $265,640 for the trial; $294,240 for the state appeals; $113,608 for federal appeals (over six years); and $135,875 for death row housing. In contrast, the cost of housing a ... is estimated at $750,000. This is a huge amount of taxpayer money but the public looks at it as an investment in safety since these murders will never kill again. Retentionists argue that these high costs are due to "the lengthy time and the high expense result from innumerable appeals, many over 'technicalities' which have little or nothing to do with the question of guilt or innocence, and do ...
- 3090: Mars 3
- ... Water at 0.03%; and Neon at 0.00025 %. Martian air contains only about 1/1,000 as much water as our air, but even this small amount can condense out, forming clouds that rise high in the atmosphere or swirl around the slopes of towering volcanoes. Local patches of early morning fog can form in valleys. At the Viking Lander 2 site, a thin layer of water frost covered the ... observed by the Viking landers and the Mars Pathfinder Rover are generally agreed to be volcanic in origin. Tharsis is the largest volcanic region on Mars. It is approximately four thousand kilometers across, ten kilometers high, and contains twelve large volcanoes. The largest volcanoes in the Tharsis region are four shield volcanoes named Ascraeus Mons, Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons, and Olympus Mons. The Tharsis Montes (Ascraeus, Pavonis, and Arsia) are located ... The largest of the volcanoes in the Tharsis region, as well as all known volcanoes in the solar system, is Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is a shield volcano 624-km in diameter and 25-km high. A caldera 80-km wide is located at the summit of Olympus Mons. To compare, the largest volcano on earth is Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano 10 km high and 120 ...
