    global environmental change can no longer be excluded. Scientists have defined nine planetary boundaries within which humanity is expected to operate safely. Transgressing one or more planetary boundaries may be lethal due to the risk of crossing thresholds that will trigger non-linear, abrupt environmental change within continental-to

    Tsunami is not just a single giant wave, it may even consist of ten or more waves which is then termed as: “Tsunami Wave Train” . Tsunami possesses kinetic energy and a mass of water which can cause devastation through kineticism and flooding. There is an international tsunami warning system and certain regional tsunami warning systems are also in placed. Pakistan is shielded to a greater extent from the Tsunami of the Pacific Ocean and Bay of Bengal due to the Indian land mass, however, Tsunamis

    Visual Attention and Motion The human observer is quite efficient at detecting motion. If a target is detectable when still, it becomes even more so when it is in motion. The brain uses multiple cues to help us perceive motion including information from all of our senses. The focus of this paper will be the visual system and how motion is perceived visually. Motion is in part perceived by the changing patterns of light on the retina. This cannot account for total motion perception, however

    particular wavelength can penetrate before it is absorbed. The photons that have an energy above the band gap, depends on the wavelength and its absorption coefficient is not constant. The likelihood of retaining a photon relies on upon the probability of having a photon and an electron connect so as to move starting with one energy band then onto the next. The absorption is relatively low for photons with energy very close to that of the band gap, as only those electrons directly at the

That’s animal respiration: Oxygen in -- burn fuel molecules -- make ATP -- carbon dioxide out. Use of ATP as energy to perform muscular activity. Two ways to produce ATP: Anaerobic system Without oxygen High energy expenditure, short time (6-60 seconds) Aerobic

    During the latency, children are aware of the difference between opposite sexes, but sexual energy is diverted to socially acceptable activities and learning new skills (Hockenberry, 2014b). Girls and boys sit separately, and casual conversations mostly took place between students with the same gender. A boy hided his journal when I tried to look

    Freud studied the cause of posttraumatic disorders and observed an increasing desire by the mind of these individuals to replay this traumatic experience. After further examinations, Freud noted that human cells had an instinctual energy which caused them to return to the state of nonexistence which he later called the death drive (Thanatos). In 1936, Freud’s youngest child Anna Freud (1895-1982) elaborated on her father’s ideas after his death. The defense mechanisms or ego defense

    of legalizing drugs. I’m looking at the medical perspective. There are three main solutions that have been proposed to solve the world drug problem. Conservatives argue to keep drugs illegal, but have access for more treatment. More resources and energy should be devoted to research, prevention and treatment. Vigorous and intelligent enforcement of criminal law makes drugs harder to get and more expensive. Drug laws deter people from

    The mechanical characteristics of soft tissue are the basis for several clinical and nonclinical research studies, such as brain surgical simulation or breast needle biopsy (Kaster et al., 2011; O’Hagan & Samani, 2009). Usually, anomalies found within the breast are investigated by palpation techniques, in which responses of soft tissue to large deformation are utilized (Goodson, 1996). Recent research on the mechanical properties of soft tissue under compressive load has revealed that tissues exhibit

    Quantum Cryptography is the newest technology in the field of Encryption and proved to be most secure as of now. In this paper we will discuss what quantum cryptography is and what makes it most secure and unbreakable. Introduction All our classical computer cryptography methods are basically based on some mathematical calculations which are quiet easy to implement in one direction but very difficult to process in the other direction. As RSA(Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) algorithm which is one of the
