Maritime RobotX Challenge System Selection Over the past decades before civilization, people used the sea and deep water for exploration, food, trade, and migration. During such a period, there existed several challenges as the moving vessels were dangerous, time-consuming, and expensive to develop. It was hard for people to depict changes in the weather hence leading to challenges with their sailing. The advancement in technology led to the development of unmanned service vessels that could overcome past challenges. Countries such as Australia, Japan, Singapore, the United States, and South Korea prepared a team of experts who would participate in a competition to develop systems that could break the possibilities (“RobotX The Bigger Picture,” 2018). However, engaging in competition, rules are set for the participating team to follow. For example, according to the 2018 Maritime Robotx Challenge, one of the regulations is team eligibility and requirements. Qualification means that student teams from any part of the world can participate in the event by applying by filling a registration form. Conditions are where teams may include students, industrial partners, faulty, or government…
Evolution, Genetics, and Their Disastrous Consequences Galton, Spencer, and other thinkers restructured Charles Darwin’s theory of Evolution to their concepts, expounding it in the way they thought fit their own social experience and service. For instance, “struggle for existence” was the center of Darwin’s theory and was used by these thinkers to explain the competition in the Britain economy which made some civilians wealthier and others poorer. These thinkers based on struggle for the fittest claimed that wealth flourish through a competitive economy an argument supported by Evolution in the fact that species compete and struggle and only the best survive. Spencer argued that according to the law of Evolution, progress could only be achieved through competition and struggle. Additionally, he claimed that both physical and moral fitness is determined by the class of an individual as high-class citizens are more fit than lower-class individuals (Rohatynskyj, 2018). Weakening a species’ opportunity to develop struggles and collaboration may enhance their existence competence through sociability. Further, these thinkers argued that psychological, physical, and ethics are hereditary. The eugenic theory explains that professionally…
Cladding System in High-Rise Buildings Introduction Cladding in a constructional building is constituents applied over as an additional layer that provides a notch of thermal lining, resistance in adverse weather conditions, and improve general structure appearance. This skin layer or the extra layer attached to the exterior part of the building is also used to stop winds and rain from entering the building (Brookes, 2002). A cladding system is usually a constitution of two components, the wall structure and the casing layer whereby, the partitioning system has the cavity wall, which is favorable to all climatic conditions due to its capacity to align compression. The barrier hedge is typically the peripheral divider assembly in the system. The alteration between the two systems (the cavity wall and the outer wall) is the ability to integrate the surface of the outmost outer surface of the wall and the construction joints that offers the resistance of bulk moisture ingress. The curtain ditches are broadly used in elevated structures, for they contain well-lit and subjective structures of infill plates that are described as…
Genetics in Drosophila melanogaster Abstract This report aims at outlining the comparison between the mutant phenotypes of Drosophila Melanogaster, commonly known as Fruit-fly to phenotypes of Wild-type flies. In the experiment, the phenotypes are compared in the resulting F1 generation and the F2. The F1 and F2 were used in generating the two mutants that were employed in setting up the initial crossing of the parents; hence the appropriate phenotypic ratios were used. From F1, the white eye mutant was identified for the male fruit fly. In the subsequent F2 generation, there was newly identified mutant in both male and female in which two distinct phenotypes, the white eye mutant were observed again. Prediction of this outcome had much to do with the result which was created by setting up white-eyed males and wild type females Introduction Drosophila melanogaster is an organism that is frequently used in studying different biological processes such as inheritance and genetics (Sharma, et al. pg.5). The use of this organism has various advantages in that it is easy to maintain and handle, cheap to culture in…
Neuro Awareness: The Intriguing Connection between the Brain and the Gut To commemorate the Brain Awareness Week, Medical News Today on March 19, 2020, complied a set of facts relating with how our nervous system and the gut are conversant with each other, on an unfathomable level. The gut, a sensitive body organ, is intertwined with the brain in the following ways: Foods with a substantial level of sucrose can disorient nerve chemistry, through alteration of the opioid and dopamine brain systems. There’s a tight correlation between gut bacteria and gut health, with Scientists looking into ways that the former can brain behaviour. Through the vagus nerve, Parkinson disease-causing clamps might get to the brain, and end up destroying dopamine cells which leads to invariable symptoms of the ailment. A new year, new enchanting brain discoveries Scientists argue that yawning has an unprecedented contagion power. An increase in the motor cortex’s excitement can propel an individual’s urge to yearn. Neurogenesis- production o.f new neurons, is a continuous lifetime process. While most adults have to do with the neurons they…

Strategies of Cultural Competence. Introduction Cultural competence is the ability of healthcare workers to display the ability to work with communities of diverse cultures in the provision of healthcare. Mostly, people vary in learning and practice, and this difference affects various aspects of life, including health. Significantly, most indigenous groups, including the Native Americans, are subject to divergent views based on their cultures. Significantly, it is has been noted over the years that as a result of beliefs and traditions, the Alaska Americans or American Indians are likely to hold divergent views about medicine. There is a particular inclination towards magic and supernatural beliefs among these groups. On the other side, they have an equally great history of the use of herbal medicine. Therefore, to achieve better healthcare results, there is a need for cultural competence strategies. Strategies of Cultural Competence.

Sanitary landfills Sanitary landfills are facilities or sites used to isolate waste from the environment to allow biological, physical and chemical degradation that renders the waste environmentally safe. The chemical changes that occur on the earliest anaerobic stage of decomposition in sanitary landfill are dependent on certain factors. This include; bio oxygen demand(BOD) which is the oxygen needed to break down organic materials present in a given water sample at a specific temperature over a given period. BOD regulates the production of bacteria used in the decomposition of waste and the conversion process of the same to methane gas or leachate and also determines the PH Of the waste. The bacteria act on the refuse and transform the metals to leachate. The increase of bacteria is gradual as period lapses, and the production of methane gas decreases the PH inside the landfill and of which is attributed to the acidity brought forth by the decomposition. The different types of leachates contain different chemical compositions in their original forms. The sanitary facilities used in storing leachates are either made of PVCs…
