- 171: Contracts
- ... s that has limitations when applied. There needs to be something more for consistent motivation. An additional theory on human behavior, motivation, and management was developed in the late 1950s by McGregor. His theories X and Y and were based on assumptions made regarding the "system" and individuals. In short, in Theory X (the most common management practice) management organizes all elements of production, motivates and controls employee behavior to fit the needs of the organization, and without this intervention, employees would be indifferent to changing organizational needs ... by "direction and control," a style that is and was popular in big business, hardly have been exhibited in the corporate world 40 years later. This fact alone shows that McGregors assumptions regarding Theory X are inaccurate. McGregors alternative to Theory X was Theory Y. This theory made the assumptions that management has the responsibility for organizing the elements of production, people are not by nature passive, but ...

- ... is made up of many components that are shown on the table below. Components % Of which % Dry Materials (D.M.) 30.0-33.0 ------- ------- Nitrogen/D.M. 6.5-9.3 ------- ------- Proteins/D.M.(Nitrogen x 6.25) 40.6-58.0 Glutathion 0.5-1.5 Carbohydrates/D.M. 35.0-45.0 glycogentrehalose 5-108-20 Cellular lipids/D.M. 4.0-6.0 phospho-lipids 1-2 Minerals ... NADH + H+ -------- NAD+ + 2e- + 2H+ Alcoholic fermentation occurs because of the fermentation of ethanol and occurs in two steps. The first reaction is a nonhydrolytic cleavage step in which Pyruvate (3C) is decarboxylated to 2 x Acetaldehyde (2C) + 2CO2. This is mediated by the enzyme Pyruvate decarboxylase that also contains thiamine pyrophosphate (vitamin B1) as a coenzyme. The second reaction is the reduction of the carbonyl acetaldehyde and results in the formation of ethanol. In this step 2 x Acetaldehyde (2C) is reduced to 2 x Ethanol (2C) by the enzyme Alcohol Dehydrogenase. Oxidation of NADH + H+ provides the e- and H+ required for this reaction and results in the regeneration of NAD+. ...
- 173: Preference Reversal And Expert
- ... the safe bet (H) would be favored over the longshot (L) and the pricing would also favor the safe bet (Ch) over the longshot (Cl) (i.e. Ch Cl). Yet when any amount of money (X) is offered at a %100 probability, that option would be selected over both H and L. That is for Ch X Cl, X is preferred over H and X is preferred over L, leading to Ch X H, an overpricing of H. Subjects would accept less money than their given value of Ch, or even of Cl ...
- 174: Sir Isaac Newton
- ... as self-taught. One of his earliest mathematical discoveries was the binomial theorm. "The binomial theorm gives a formula, or rule, as Newton called it, for writing down the expansion of any power of (1+x)." (Anthony 53) An example of this is as follows: (1+x)^n = 1 + nx + n(n-1) x^2 + n(n-1)(n-2) x^3 +
nx^(n-1) + x^n 1*2 1*2*3 This was an early attempt at understanding differentiation. "Newton made contributions to all branches of mathematics ...

- 176: Macbeth: His Trust In The Witches
- ... have them succeed him and sets about plotting the murders of his best friend and his offspring. While Macbeth succeeds in eliminating Banquo, Banquo's son, Fleance escapes the murderers and disappears. Duncan's son, Malcolm, meanwhile, has been hiding out in England. He has been plotting to attack Macbeth in Scotland and reclaim his rightful throne. Malcolm takes the 10,000 troops he has gathered and they return to Scotland and hide in Birnam woods, near Dunsinane, Macbeth's castle. Inside, Macbeth has not been faring well. His wife has gone mad ... born of woman would ever harm him. The third was that he would never be vanquished until Birnam Wood came to Dunsinane. Macbeth trusts the witches and so feels no fear when he learns of Malcolm's imminent attack. As Macbeth stands in a room of his castle contemplating his situation, a servant brings him the news of his thane's and servant's distrust and discomfort. "Bring me no ...
- 177: Same-sex Marriage
- ... not allowing blonds to marry. This is why it is of great importance to public policy whether or not homosexuality is predetermined. Some now believe that homosexuality is genetically predetermined by a gene on the X chromosome. If this is the case, then gays cannot decide their sexual orientation, for it is predetermined. Hence, not allowing those who are genetically inclined to prefer the same sex to marry leaves homosexuals with ... of sexuality. The whole subject is hidden in the darkness." In more recent years, however, this statement is being chipped away at by multiple studies which offer proof that there is a region on the X-chromosome labeled Xq28 which predisposes men to be homosexual. Biologists from the National Institutes of Health led by Dean Hamer did a study in 1993 and a follow up study in 1995. These studies tried ... are on sexual preference. Both of Dean Hamer's studies suggest that a man may be predisposed to be homosexual due to genes he inherited from his mother. In his first study, Hamer compared the X-chromosomes of 40 pairs of gay brothers and found one region, called Xq28, which was more likely to match than would be expected if the two X-chromosomes from the mother had been randomly ...
- 178: Stars
- ... interferometer techniques. Although the ultraviolet, visual, and infrared parts of a star's spectrum can be measured in this way, other techniques must be used, above the atmosphere, to measure the shorter wavelength spectra of X-ray stars and gamma-ray stars. Instead of gratings and prisms, various combinations of filters and detectors are used to measure portions of the X-ray and gamma-ray spectra. At the other extreme (long wavelengths), radio spectra of stars and other radio sources are measured by "tuning" a radio telescope to different frequencies. A radio telescope--the largest is ... and the period of the orbit. If the binary stars eclipse each other, this situation also gives estimates of each star's diameter. Orbits of the planets show that the Sun's mass is 2 X (10 to the power of 33) g (2 billion billion billion tons, or about 333,000 times the Earth's mass). Orbits of binary stars show that some stars (giants) are 40 times the ...
- 179: Marie Curie and Her Discovery of Radium and Polonium
- ... girl that she would name Eve. In 1896, Marie heard that Antoine Henri Becquerel, also a French scientist, found that rays coming from a uranium ore affected a photographic plate in the same manner as X-rays. These rays did not seem to be related to any external source of energy, such as the sun, and were more powerful than the radiation from pure uranium. "Becquerels discovery fascinated the Curies ... experiments, including his own invention, an electrometer (an instrument which measures the differences in electrical charge or potential). "From 1896 the Curies worked together on radioactivity, building on the results of Wilhem Rontgen (who discovered X-rays) and Henri Becquerel (who had discovered that similar rays are emitted by uranium salts)," (Roy Porter p.156). A co-worker named Gustave Bemont was hired by Pierre to assist them in working with ... known as the Curie Institute) in Paris and served as the first director. Her now grown daughter, Irene, assisted her at the institute teaching medical orderlies and doctors how to use the new technique of X-ray equipment. After the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Marie realized that X-rays could be used to locate broken bones, bullets, and pieces of shrapnel. Marie organized mobile X-ray units ...
