- 22491: Limonene And Its Uses
- ... used without posing unreasonable risks to people or the environment. Because of advances in scientific knowledge, the law requires that pesticides which were first registered years ago be reregistered to ensure that they meet today's more stringent standards. In evaluating pesticides for reregistration, EPA obtains and reviews a complete set of studies from pesticide producers, describing the human health and environmental effects of each pesticide. The Agency imposes any regulatory controls that are needed to effectively manage each pesticide's risks. EPA then reregisters pesticides that can be used without posing unreasonable risks to human health or the environment. When a pesticide is eligible for reregistration, EPA announces this and explains why in a Reregistration ... indoors and outdoors. Use practice limitations include a label prohibition against use on weanling kittens and a caution against use of undiluted product. Regulatory History Limonene was first registered as a insecticide in the U.S. in 1958. It was registered as an antimicrobial in 1971, and as a dog and cat repellent in 1983.

- 22492: Punishment And Behavior
- ... used a greater amount of physical punishment also had a greater homicide rate (Straus 146). According to Gault et. Al increasing the intensity of punishment has been found to better suppress or change a person's behavior (159). They also found that complete suppression is only achieved by extreme, almost inhumane punishment (Gualt, Gridley, et al 159). They also found that no matter how intense the punishment given, once it is ... According to a recent study by Strassberg, Dodge, Pettit and Bates (1994) the occurrence of parental spanking, regardless of frequency, or whether the punishment was given by the father or the mother, increased the child's aggression (Gualt, Gridley, et al 160). Another interesting statistic given by the American Psychological Association is that about seventy percent of men who came through the criminal justice system were abused or neglected children (Gualt ... this article "hard discipline with violent punishments" has been a part of Russian life for some time now (Ihanus 260). This starts when a child is young and is considered a part of a person's education (Ihanus 260). Ihanus says, "...one is not educated if one has not been beaten, in effect, one is a 'fool'" (260). Because of this, the children of Russia develop certain defense tactics which ...
- 22493: Oedipus Rex (film Vs Text)
- ... which make sense and some others that do not seem to make sense in my eyes. The fact that they used more than 2 to 4 actors seems to be a logical decision by today's standards and essentially only takes away a small portion of the play and may even help it's dramatic effect. The company also took the clothes and costumes of the characters and modernized their look, which strikes me as odd because this seems to take away a large portion of the visual affect. The biggest change that seemed noticeable to me was the fact that the R.S.C. decided to take the script and update the dialogue with today's language and structure. Even though the play follows the same timeline of events and gets the same point across, I still ...

- Crime And Punishment: Characterization In Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov's dream about the mare can be used as a vehicle to probe deep into his mentality to discover how he really feels inside. The dream suggests that Raskolnikov is a "split" man; after all, his ... is similar to the brutal attack on Alyona by Rodion. (It should be noted that both Alyona and the mare were female.) These heartless attacks foreshadow the crime that Raskolnikov is contemplating. Dostoevsky unveils Raskolnikov's cruel side during this dream, if it is to be interpreted in this way. On the same token, Raskolnikov's compassionate side could be represented by the little boy. The child, watching the beating, ...

- 22496: The Causes of the Civil War: Slavery, Economics, or Constitutional Differences
- ... state were what really mattered. As an example, California was admitted to the Union as a free state, and this angered the south very much because slavery was a very important factor to the South's economy. The Compromise of 1850 was developed to help soothe the tensions on each side. This Compromise had several provisions: California was admitted to the Union as a free state; The territories of New Mexico ... if their were no slaves, the owners would not be able to pay more money for regular workers. This would eventually lead to giving up property worth many millions of dollars. Cotton was the South's cash crop, and for some states, their only crop, and to greatly reduce the production, their economy would go down. So the South had one more reason to fight in the Civil War, and that ... truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man. This means that liberty is meant only for the white man.

- 22497: The Impact of AI on Warfare.
- The Impact of AI on Warfare. It is well known that throughout history man's favourite past time has been to make war. It has always been recognised that the opponent with the better weapons usually came out victorious.

The use of smart weapons raises many questions on the price paid to develop these weapons; money which could be used to solve most of the world's social problems such as poverty, hunger, etc. Another issue is the safety involved in the use of these weapons. Can we really make a weapon that does everything on its own without human help and ... of the accuracy of the computer systems used.

- 22498: The Constitution
- A case for the connection of America's colonial and revolutionary religious and political experiences to the basic principles of the Constitution can be readily made. One point in favor of this conclusion is the fact that most Americans at that time had ... This implies that the new government that was being formed derived its sovereignty from the people, which would serve to prevent it from becoming corrupt and disinterested in the people, as the framers believed Britain's government had become.

- 22499: A Critical Survey Of Poe
- ... of all time. He was far ahead of his time with his vision of a special area of human experience the "inner world" of dream, hallucination, and imagination. There is a distinct connection between Poe's nightmarish life and his works. His fictional works resemble a distressed individual who has a pattern of dreams night after night with the same repeating tone of terror. Critics interpret his works as being a ... recognizable." All of his poetry is based on carefully thought out principles of artistic creativity, and his biggest concern as a poet was the effect he could produce on the reader with those principles.Poe's poetry covered these themes in a way that they all compliment each other. The theme most revolved around by the others is ideal beauty. In using marshalling verse, imagery, rythym, rhyme, and subject matter a poet tries to capture the impression of beauty. Poe's simple definition for beauty was this: "The pleasurable excitement of the soul as it reaches for a perfection beyond this earth."
