- 211: Klinefelter Syndrome -
- ... 1942, it was not until 1956 that other researchers reported that many boys with this description had 47 chromosomes in each cell of their bodies instead of the usual number of 46. This extra sex (X) chromosome causes the distinctive make-up of these boys. All men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, but sometimes a variation will result in a male with an extra X. This is Klinefelter Syndrome and is often written as 47,XXY. There are other, less common variations such as 48,XXYY; 48,XXXY; 49,XXXXY; and XY/XXY mosaic. All of these are considered ...
- 212: Explain Why It Is Impossible to Derive An Analytical Formula For Valuing American Puts.
- ... the expiration rate is just the option price (that is the premium) that he or she has paid earlier. Call options give the investor the right to buy the underlying stock at the exercise price, X; while the put options give the investor the right to sell the underlying security at X. However only America options can be exercised at any time during the life of the option if the holder sees fit while European options can only be exercised at the expiration rate, and this is ... rate, increases; and as , the volatility, decreases. Since the value of a put is always positive as the worst can happen to it is that it expires worthless so this can be expressed as where X is the strike price Therefore for an American put with price P, , must always hold since the investor can execute immediate exercise any time prior to the expiry date. As shown in Figure 1, ...
- 213: Define And Explain The Concept
- ... measure of the responsiveness of demand for one product to a change in the price of a complement or substitute good. The formula for cross elasticity of demand is: Percentage Change in Demand for Good x Percentage Change in Price of Good y If good y is a substitute for good x, x s demand will rise as y s price rises. Cross elasticity of demand will be positive in this case. If y is a complement to good x, then x s demand will fall as ...
- 214: Jurassic Park
- ... replace all human work, we as a people will forget the manual way to work. If we totally rely on computers in the future we will be making mankind obsolete. In the story, the mathematician Malcolm is the philosophical voice that questions the durability of the park and the accountability of the science used to re-create the dinosaurs. He challenges the ideas of Dr.Wu and end up being right ... have an era where humans, as I stated above will become obsolete. All humans will fall into a lazy phase and we will be in a mechanical era. In the early chapters of the book, Malcolm states that the whole Jurassic Park idea will not work because of the Chaos Theory. The Chaos Theory states that first complex systems like weather have an underlying order and second the reverse of that ... change the out come that the parents predicted for it. This is what went wrong with the creation of the dinosaurs; the tried to predict the simple system and control nature and it back fired. Malcolm brings up the point of intelligence. Intelligence is brought out through experiences in life, it also comes about through schooling and any other natural process of learning. Intelligence on the other hand is what ...
- 215: Lasers And Their Applications
- ... Since light is a wave it has a frequency calculated by the equation: f = c/ and = c/f where f is the frequency c is the speed of light which is equal to 3.00 x 108 m/s and is the wave length of light. Also waves have crests, the high points of waves, and troughs, the low points. Constructive interference occurs when two waves of the same frequency meet ... the mirrors triggering more stimulated emissions. The energy of a photon is calculated using the equation: E =hv where E is the energy of a photon, h is Planck's constant (equal to 6.63 x 10-34) and v is the frequency. As the photons are moving back and forth between the mirrors an intense, directional, and monochromatic laser light seeps through one of the mirrors which is only partially ... for studying physical phenomena over a extremely short time interval. The frequency of these lasers fall in the infrared spectrum, but can be multiplied to ultraviolet by multiplying the laser with potassium dihydrogen phosphate and X-ray wavelengths by aiming the beams at yttrium. Gas lasers have a medium of pure gas, a mixture of gases or metal vapor enclosed in a glass or quartz tube with one fully reflective ...
- 216: Bleeding Ireland and Black America
- ... a meeting organized by Rosa Parks. The SNCC would become a major force throughout the 1960' s. Later, leaders like Stokely Carmichael, would lead blacks into the Black Power Movement which was spawned from Malcom X and the urban ghettos.

- ... contains as well as try to explain the plot. "A Clockwork Orange" is a story of a young man whose principle interests are rape, ultra-violence, and Beethoven. It's about a teen named Alex (Malcolm McDowell) who torments people in Britain in the near future. He is then betrayed by his friends and caught by the police, after he had murdered somebody. He was sent to live in a Juvenile ... The second time I found that if you change your friends may look at you different. I think that the theme may be different to everybody.

There is one part of the film that ... that control your mind aren't always the best. I think that society rejected because of the way it was brought to them. "A Clockwork Orange", when it first came out, was rated NC-17 (X) because of rape, violence, and nudity. I believe that for it's time this movie was rated very fairly. Now the movie is rated R. The movie is about a gang that goes around, ...

- 219: The Devil In Disguise
- ... his name, Friend, as symbolic irony. Arnold is inevitably evil, and Oates uses his name to represent him as a Devil's Advocate playing both sides. "After his hand fell back to his side the X was still in the air, almost visible" (593). The X is a sign of evil, and Friend tells Connie that it is his sign. This could also imply that Friend was putting a "spell" on Connie to make her obey and succumb to his every demand. The numbers (33, 19, 17) printed on the side of his car, when added up as single digits (i.e. 33 being 3 and 3) equal 24. X is the 24th letter of the alphabet. Although it is not clear in the story whether Arnold Friend is the Devil, there is much to support the idea that he is. Through Friend's ...

Many politicians are afraid to touch this issue because the elder still make a large number of the voting block. Speaking as a member of Generation X it is our duty to vote for change in Social Security to ensure we will have something to look forward to when we retire. We can not wait any longer to defeat this crisis. The ... the systems solvency, taxes would have to be increased, or benefits cut, between one-half and 1 percent every 10 years" (Bosworth 36). If you do the math you will realize by the time Generation X retires the payroll tax needed to keep Social Security going will have almost doubled. The higher tax rates will start some sort of recession with people getting far less out of their pay checks ...
