He won the Bancroft Prize for his book, The Might of Nations and he has served as acting director for the political affairs division at the United Nations. To prove his point that wars do not occur due to “events” outside anyone’s control, Stoessinger makes use of seven case studies (extended to ten in later editions): WW1, Hitler’s attack on Russia, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Indo Pak wars, the Iraq-Iran wars and the wars between Israel and her Arab neighbors. Regarding the attack on Russia by Nazi Germany for example, Dr. Stoessinger maintains that the attack can be explained by Hitler’s deep rooted hatred for Russia. According to the author, Hitler became obsessed with wiping out Russia; he wished to not only wipe the country off the face of the earth, but also to destroy every trace of Russian civilization or culture. To Hitler, Russia’s policy towards Germany as irrelevant; all that mattered to him was that Russia and everything Russian cease to exist.
Great Basin College AMS 320 LAB 9 Objective In this lab we will perform an investigation to determine the half-life of a radioactive isotope Ba-137m. Introduction No other facet of chemistry has captured the attention of people in the latter half of the 1900s as the field of radiation. From the discovery of x-rays in 1900 to the destructive power of atomic weapons, we have seen a history that is very interesting. As discussed in class lecture, some atoms are unstable. Some will change into another element if given enough time.
* Interpretive: facts are settled, but argue on what theory applies and so on * Evaluative: the significance * Methodological: procedures and techniques + what will be the outcome 6. At what point in his analysis does Casper identify scientific discourse that describes "science as it is actually performed?" - he is talking about the nobel prize lectures because they talk about the start, stop, and pitfalls differently than a research report does, it’s how science is actually performed 7. As a result of his analysis of Nobel lectures what characteristics does Casper attribute to epideictic scientific discourse? - little modulation or hedging (type of statements) - value of the research and the future (stasis) - recognition of other’s help/work/achievement - discussion on the nature of science itself 8.
The analyses of the remains have not yet appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, he notes. But none of the presented evidence calls into question the notion that that the skeleton is indeed Richard’s. More definitive will be genetic data from the Y chromosome, which passes from father to son. The researchers are analyzing it now, says King. Several male-line relatives that trace their lineage to Edward III, Richard III’s great-great-grandfather, have agreed to share their genetic data.
Rockefeller's major contributions was to that of the field of medicine. The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was established in 1901, later becoming Rockefeller University in 1965 by adding graduate school to its program. This University also produced a grand number of Nobel Prize victors: 23. Established in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation was the recipient of $250 million of Rockefeller's money. It was set up to "promote the well-being of mankind" and has since dispersed more money than Rockefeller himself earned in his entire life.
Pioneers of Social Anthropology: The Shackles of Tradition The most important figure in The Shackles of Tradition is Franz Boas, a German born Anthropologist, who's greatest contribution are his studies of Inuits and Kwakiutl of The Canadian Arctic and the United States Northwest, respectively. Born the son of a wealthy businessman and kindergarten teacher, in Minden Westphalia, Germany; Boas left home at 20 to study geography at the university of Heidelberg. In 1881 he studied the relation of the Eskimo to the environment. The only other notable character in The Shackles of Tradition is George Hunt, a Tlingit Ethnologist who's greatest contribution were the hundreds of pages of Kwakiutl folklore he documented. Considered the "Father
The folding machine cost $14000, and the supplier is not in the list of the university. However, the eventual payment for the machine has not been made yet. * Suppliers on the list can offer the similar machine in $10000,$11000 or $15000, and the third one includes one year free service. * In 275 cases contracts signed without previous approval of purchasing department. It was unusual that university personnel contacted suppliers directly.
Glenn Theodore Seaborg was born on April 19, 1912 and died on February 25, 1999 in Ishpeming, Michigan. He was an American scientist who had won the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for “discoveries in the chemistry of the transuranium elements”. He had also contributed to the discovery and isolation of ten other elements and also developed the actinide concept. The ten elements that he had co discovered were: Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium and element 106, seaborgium was named after him in his honour while he was still alive. This was the first situation where an element was named after a person.
He also helped expedite completion of the Panama Canal, which was vital for travel between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in half the time previously required. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the end of the Russo-Japanese war, where he was negotiating. He was also deemed the country’s first environmentalist president in 1906, when he signed the National Monuments act, protecting sites such as the Grand Canyon and preventing damage to wildlife sanctuaries, national forests and federal game reserves. “He also made headway with the nation’s infrastructure, instigating 21 federal irrigation
The Micro Level On a micro level, the paper by Jackson is the only one availablefor the 1980 election. There had been earlier uses of individualdata by Mendelsohn (1966) in an analysis of the 1964 election, but since this had been predicted as a very large victory for PresidentJohnson and the early results indicatedthe same thingthere was no reason to expect an effect, nor was there any. A recent paper by Adams (1985) about voting behavior in Oregon duringthe 1984presidentialelections also found no effects since the substantial victory for Reagan had been anticipated. Jackson used data from the University of Michigan Presidential Study in 1980. Respondents were interviewed before the election to determine if they were registered and their likelihood of voting.
