The Invention of Motion Pictures - from Phenakistoscope to Hollywood

Authors: Rochelle Forrester
Comments: 5 Pages.

The invention of motion pictures was only possible due to the prior discovery of the phenomenon of persistence of vision, the prior invention of photography and the ability to produce photographs with very brief exposure times. These discoveries were necessary before motion pictures could be invented, and given how human beings like to be entertained, it was also inevitable, that sooner or later in some society open to new ideas and technology, that motion pictures would be made to meet the human need for entertainment. Once motion pictures had been invented, sound and then color were added to create the motion pictures we are familiar with today. The order of discovery was inevitable and is an example of how social and cultural history has to follow a particular course determined by the structure of the world around us.

Democratic Elections Using Physics

Authors: George Rajna
Comments: 56 Pages.

Sometimes, physics theories and constructs can also be used to study seemingly unrelated phenomena, such as social behaviors or dynamics. [37] But now, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have developed a way to parse this dynamic behavior into digestible chunks. [36] A team of researchers at the Laboratory for fundamental BioPhotonics (LBP) within EPFL's School of Engineering (STI) has come up with a way to monitor changes in membrane potential and to observe ion fluxes by studying the behavior of the water HYPERLINK "https://phys.org/tags/molecules/" molecules surrounding the membranes of the HYPERLINK "https://phys.org/tags/neurons/" neurons.

Executive Cyber Policy Directives in the Post 9/11 Era

Authors: Alee Corrales
Comments: 26 Pages.

Following the September 11th terror attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., policymakers in the United States began placing a stronger emphasis on cybersecurity and terror prevention. Due to the rapidly changing nature of cybersecurity, it was difficult to quickly address all the cybersecurity threats looming over the United States. Early efforts to improve cybersecurity included the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security to organize cyber threat data across various agencies. Several pieces of data-sharing legislation were circulating through Congress at this time, as well. Soon after, the U.S.A. Patriot Act became law. President Obama prioritized cybersecurity during his administration, and President Trump is prioritizing the issue, as well. This research paper finds the aforementioned policies implemented after the 9/11 attacks to be successfully detecting online communication between terrorist actors and protecting the cybersecurity interests of the United States.

Reviewing the Reviewers: a Case Study of the Diocesan Review Board of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas

Authors: Alee Corrales
Comments: 15 Pages.

Compared to other Catholic Dioceses in metropolitan areas in the United States, the Catholic Diocese of Dallas is taking a less-transparent approach to child sexual abuse allegations made internally. The main objective of the Diocesan Review Board of the Diocese of Dallas is to make recommendations to the Bishop of Dallas regarding child sexual abuse allegations. Therefore, this research will seek to address the following: What is the structure and function of the Diocesan Review Board of the Diocese of Dallas, and how can the procedures of the Diocesan Review Board reviewing allegations of child sexual abuse be made more transparent? Due to the autonomy of each Diocesan Review Board, there is a need for this research in the academic community because it identifies policies and practices of the Diocesan Review Board in Dallas, which can then be utilized to establish a baseline between other Catholic Dioceses and, perhaps, even lead to an analysis of best practices and implementations of Diocesan Review Boards. With a contextual section explaining Canon Law and government statutes, a literature review of scholarly sources discussing diocesan review boards, and methodology of the proposed research, this thesis proposal makes evident there is a need to further investigate the Diocesan Review Board of the Diocese of Dallas.

Do US Sanctions On Iran Work? Survival in The Modern World

Authors: Syed Noman Ali Shah
Comments: 6 Pages.

“There is no doubt that the United states will not achieve success with this new plot against Iran.” Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on US new sanctions. My research is composed Iran’s survival in isolation after a hard tension by the west for 40 years. How Iran is going to manage it people through its policies and diplomacy nationally and internationally. In today’s globalized world how, Iran react towards sanctions and focuses on its nuclear weapons production. Relations with Russia as alternate ally after US and supporting of militant groups inside the middle east to extend her regime. Shall different engagements at a time lead Iran into hard situation like in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, supporting Hammas and Hezbollah which are black-listed by the international community. On one side Iran is facing sanctions from the world like import-export shut down, no travelling by sea and air, no foreign transactions, steel and iron industry which the biggest contributing sector in the Iran’s economy is and parallel to these issues Iran is financially and militarily supporting internationally these groups.

The Invention of Television - Vladimir Zworykin and Philo Farnsworth

Authors: Rochelle Forrester
Comments: 6 Pages.

The ultimate cause of much historical, social and cultural change is the gradual accumulation of human knowledge of the environment. Human beings use the materials in their environment to meet their needs and increased human knowledge of the environment enables human needs to be met in a more efficient manner. The materials in the human environment include photosensitive materials and electrons which played an important role in the invention of television. The invention of television revealed a series of discoveries with the simplest discoveries being made first and more complex discoveries being made later. Some discoveries could not be made without certain prior discoveries having been made. Scientific discoveries concerning photosensitive materials and the control of electrons by electromagnets, leading to the invention of the cathode ray tube were necessary before the invention of television. It is only at a particular point in our history, that we were able to put the information together and invent television. Before that point it was not possible to invent television. The order in which these discoveries were made was inevitable and given how much humans like entertainment and news, it was also inevitable, that sooner or later in some society open to new ideas and technology, that television would be used to meet the human need for entertainment and news. The order of discovery was inevitable and is an example of how social and cultural history has to follow a particular course determined by the structure of the world around us.

Invention of the Telephone

Authors: Rochelle Forrester
Comments: 5 Pages.

The ultimate cause of much historical, social and cultural change is the gradual accumulation of knowledge of the environment. Human beings use the materials in their environment to meet their needs and increased human knowledge of the environment enables human needs to be met in a more efficient manner. Humans have a need to communicate and the invention of the telephone enabled them to communicate in a more efficient manner. It is clear that the telephone could only be invented due to the existence of certain materials in the environment such as carbon granules, electrons, and conducting and insulating materials. If these materials did not exist, then the telephone could not have been invented. It is equally clear the telephone could only have been invented, when it was invented, as before that time humans did not know enough about the materials used in the invention of the telephone, to allow them to invent the telephone. Prior discoveries concerning these materials were necessary before the telephone could be invented. The social and cultural consequences of the invention of the telephone could obviously only take place after the invention of the telephone.
