(Goldman 2) called al-Anfal, which in Arabic means “Spoils.” Saddam Hussein’s cousin Ali Hasan al-Majid proceeded to use chemical weapons Operation al-Anfal, earning him the nickname Chemical Ali. Most notably, he used Mustard, Cyanide, Sarin, Tabun, and VX gas on the city of Halabja killing in excess of 12,000 people. Saddam also directed his military to raid rebel villages and kill everything, civilians and livestock alike (“Prejudice in Iraq” 10). Historians estimate that over 100,000 Kurds died in

covered by such an attack is fairly small and limited. The most effective area to use a chemical weapon on a seaport would be the operation center of that port due to the limited damage it will cause to the infrastructure. The psychological effect of VX or Sarin would devastate any port operation and to trace the origin of the agents would prove to be very difficult. The most common vulnerabilities to seaports exist due to the geographical location and the amount of activity surrounding most seaports

Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that limits one’s ability to breathe, affects mostly the lungs but also can have a damaging effect on the intestine, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. The name cystic fibrosis comes from the characteristic fibrosis and cysts that form within the pancreas. It is a life-threatening illness, which afflicts around 30,000 people in the United States and about 70,000 worldwide, with approximately 1,000 new cases being diagnosed each year and more than 75 percent of those

“No flags… something more interesting,” (186) says Julius choosing a stamp at the post office. What he is delivering is Kwame Anthony Appiah’s, Cosmopolitanism, but what this detail delivers to the text is important context to one of the subtle themes of Open City: Cosmopolitanism. With globalization and thus increasing access to different countries and cultures, there is a question of whether or not cosmopolitanism is a desirable outlook to move toward. For Appiah, there are two “strands” of cosmopolitanism–

Chemical and radiological terrorism is the form of terrorism in which terrorists use materials such as chlorine, ammonia, Americium-241, or Cesium-137 to directly or make a device to place toxic or fatal exposure in public or private areas, or place materials with radiation emitting materials in public or private places to cause damage or irreversible harm to the people that live or work there. Short-term exposure to low-level radiation is not harmful though, and many people living in spaces that

Racing at a solid 1.4m fence at speeds of almost 25 km/hr, the only way to get around this fence is to trust that the horse will listen to every command; trust that the horse won’t run out, or refuse, he will simply put all of his trust into his rider to guide him safely to a takeoff distance that will be perfect. In a matter of seconds, but horse and rider will be up and over the fence and racing to the next line. Although many may not consider the sport of equestrian as a physics problem, it is

The human body presents itself as an evolutionary intricate design. On the surface, there seems to be an insurmountable number of moving parts that together create our form. Through biological research, we have been able to break down these macro structures into their micro pieces. When analyzing these micro pieces, we can better understand how we came to be, and how we relate to other living beings. One of these micro pieces that spans across all living things, and has been shown to be a building

where, d = average control delay (s/veh), cm,x = capacity of movement or shared lane (veh/h), T = analysis period (h) and vx = demand flow rate for movement or shared lane (veh/h) The HCM 2000 also defines a relationship for the queue length expected to be formed at the intersection. The equation is similar to the delay equation. Q_95x=3600/c_(m,x) +900T[v_x/c_(m,x) -1+√((v_x/c_(m,x) -1)^2+(3600/c_(m,x) )(v_x/c_(m,x) )/150T] ) (c_(m,x)/3600) (10) where the Q95x represents the 95th percentile queue

Rachael Ialacci Dr. Margevicius Honors Anatomy and Physiology Disease Project - Cystic Fibrosis 15 December 2016 Cystic fibrosis is a rare, genetic, incurable disease. It affects cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices, it cause them to be thick and sticky, blocking airways, tubes, ducts, and passageways. The severity of symptoms depends on the person. Common include, cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, exercise intolerance, lung infections(pneumonia and bronchitis), inflamed nasal

SOLUTION OF 2-D INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER STOKES EQUATIONS WITH ARTIFICIAL COMRESSIBILITY METHOD USING FTCS SCHEME IMRAN AZIZ Department of Mechanical Engineering College of EME National University of Science and Technology Islamabad, Pakistan Imran_9697@hotmail.com Abstract— The paper deals with the 2-D lid-driven cavity flow governed by the non dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes theorem in the rectangular domain. Specific boundary conditions for this case study have been defined and the flow
