Control philosophy is a scripted document that outlines a process to be undertaken by engineers at the site. The report is written by a process engineer, and it stipulates the activities to be controlled and operated. It is important to know that even though control philosophy has similar objectives, the undertakings are unique to each system. Although the main goal is to promote safety, it enhances supply, stable pressure, and wastewater disposal. Control philosophy has three main goals that should be achieved. The first one is to supply water treatment waste and portable liquid storage. The second one is the management and provision of adequate and stable pressure connected to all the identified stakeholders in the project. The third is the cure of wastewater before disposing it off to the environment or sewerage line. Sensors and electric actuators will be required to ease the operations of wastewater systems. Therefore, the gadgets work together to attain the main goals of the process. Installation of sensors and transmitters to the flow meter would be ideal in the design of the wastewater system. The triggers are important component of most modern process industries (Sahlan, 2017, p. 38). Preference is on the provision of electronic actuators due to the reliability of the results they would offer during monitoring. The actuator is a part of the flow control valve which would minimize or eliminate any backflow realized within the system. Thus, it is crucial to fit the detectors in the system to promote efficiency in its operations. The choice of the programmable logic controller (PLC) should be the industrial grade. Additionally, the choice of the PLC should be in tandem with the technical specifications of the Water Treatment Module (WTW) unit and further be compatible with the chosen software which guides the project implementation process. The PLC is hosted within the main terminal unit or the remote terminal unit and is compatible with the communication infrastructure available for the project, such as Device Net. In conclusion
Bandung Conference was the first encounter between Asian and African countries that had gained independence from the western colonies. President of Indonesia Suharto invited the leaders from developing countries to Bandung, leading to a declaration on anti-imperialism and peaceful coexistence. It was hoped to unite emerging nations through collaboration in reducing their reliance on Europe and America. The conference aimed to promote Afro-Asian economic cultural cooperation and reject neocolonialism. The fundamental principles of the meeting were to respect territorial integrity and sovereignty, refrain from the use of power, have peaceful ways of settling disputes, and non-interference among the states. This nonaligned movement was founded to keep members from taking a side in Cold War politics, creating a solid rebellion. The outcome of the Bandung conference was that most of the Southeast Asian nations joined the agreement leading to the end of the Cold War. In addition, the Afro-Asian countries gained the opportunity to have a voice in world affairs, such as the representation of the Global South. The freedom to join the USA and the USSR Camp by the developing countries was achieved through the Bandung Conference (Lewis and Stolte, 2019). Although the movement aimed at discouraging members from participating in the War politics of the superpowers, most of the South and Southeast Asian countries were dragged into the Cold War In conclusion, the Afro-Asian conference, which represented twenty-nine nations from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, condemned colonialism, racism, and the growing Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. The agreement was key towards protecting more nations from supporting the war. The core aim was political self-determination and mutual respect for sovereignty. This gave developing nations power in future politics outside the Cold War. Reference Lewis, S. L., & Stolte, C. (2019). Other Bandung’s: Afro-Asian internationalism in the early cold war.

Going Dark The director of Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Brien Comey, claimed that intelligence gathering is going dark because of the use of encrypted information among a section of the society. The claim made by Comey is true. According to Olsen, Schneier, and Zittrain (2016), “Apple, Google, and many other providers of communication services offer end-to-end encryption in certain applications on Smartphone operating systems, as well as default encryption of mobile devices” (p. 2). These communication services providers are responding to the demands of their customers who want a communication system that cannot be hacked by unwanted individuals. Information is very critical in the current competitive business environment. Firms are spending a lot of money to conduct research and come up with new information that can give them competitive edge over their rivals (Martin, 2010). However, other firms and unscrupulous cyber experts are taking advantage of information sharing platform to access information critical to the success of other firms (Hennessy, 2016). That is why some firms are now using encrypted messages to protect important
Waves to Settle Americas Before the Columbus expedition, there were four waves to settle Americas: tree from Asia through the former land bridge across the sea of Beringia and the fourth wave of the settlers from northern Europe that did not survive. European countries did not have a monopoly on anything thus were obliged to trade with one another and Arabic countries, competing for limited sources. That resulted in armies and marine powers developing. In about a century, Portugal developed from a small country with a population of less than a million into one of the major players in world history, developing its maritime powers and encouraging overseas expeditions along the coast of Africa, getting gold, ivory, and slaves. Genoa navigator Christopher Columbus was encouraged by Spanish rulers to search for the western way to India. The voyage resulted in Pope’s decree of the division of all non-Christian lands between Portugal and Spain, dying out of the local population of Carribean and Bahama Islands and replacing it with black slaves from Africa, the conquest of Inca and Aztec Empires, reaching the Pacific Ocean. Local Indians in Central America practiced the slash-and-burn approach in agriculture, moving every ten years as the soil was exhausted. Sedentary Indians lived in the cities, but the development was on the level of the Stone Age. Inca civilization did not have a written language. Thus they invented the decimal system. The Olmec culture of Mesoamerica was subdivided into two cultures Maya (south) and Teotihuacan (not far from Mexico City). The Aztec culture required an enormous amount of human sacrifices, they gained through wars with neighbors. Non-Aztec locals gladly helped Spaniards to fight the Aztecs. As not mentioned in the Bible, Indians were considered by Christians as animals not-having immortal soles. Aztecs were considered to worship Satan. The understanding of Christianity to Indians was of a mixed nature. The conquest of Tenochtitlan by Cortes and the conquest of the Inca Empire by Pizarro, and the discovery of silver mines in the territory of modern Bolivia resulted in sustaining Spanish military might in Europe for the next century. After conquistadors did not confirm the rumors of cities of gold in the Northern part of America, the missionaries followed to turn locals into Christianity. The local population of the Americas decreased by 90-95% in a century of contacting Europeans due to the massive killings and the diseases. The American gold and silver made Spanish king Philip II the richest king in Europe, having the largest army, and Spain, after the Portuguese king’s death and seizing its lands and colonies, the largest Empire of the world. It also caused the development of unfree labor – Serfdom. Early France Set
Introduction: The Notion of Ethnic, Racial, and Religious Profiling The notion of ethnic profiling implies the use of such characteristics as religious belonging, ethnicity, nationality, and racial features as the defining parameters for terrorist measuring. In other words, the term stems from law enforcement, which is based on specific discriminative characteristics since it is implied that a majority of terrorist acts are initiated by immigrants. The legality of ethnic profiling represents a controversial issue. Thus, some law representatives claim that the practice contradicts basic human rights. Nevertheless, according to the public opinion and practical examples of terrorism profiling, the experience is defined as the most profitable practice of terrorist identification (Choudhry and Roach 4). According to the initial statement of the study, it is deduced that the attitudes to profiling refer to a complex of individual characteristics of the society as well as concerns, which refer to specific terroristic acts in the national history. Ethnic Profiling and Attack Cases: Public Opinion Implications The verification of ethnic profiling may be sustained along with the estimation of the most vivid terrorist attacks’ implications in world history. Specifically, the attitudes towards the Pearl Harbor attack constitute a foundation for profiling considerations, which enhanced the level of the Americans’ support of ethnic law enforcement. Thus, after the Pearl Harbor bombing, which was sustained at the time of World War II, approximately 150,000 American Japanese were imprisoned since the government of the USA created an anti-Japanese paranoia among society. As a result, 93% of the native Americans expressed their approval of the authority’s act (Schildkraut 64). A similar majoritarian practice was revealed after the 9/11 attacks. According to the cross-national assessment, the third part of the US population supported the decision of the government on the detainment of Arab Americans, despite the fact that the imprisoned individuals were not proved guilty (Schildkraut 65). The tendency of ethnic profiling approval, which evolves in the USA, demonstrates consistent support of the government by the US society. However, public support can be verified along with some other factors, for cross-national assessments did not disclose any personal implications, which were provided by the citizens. Moreover, the mentioned conclusions were made on the basis of heated cases’ reflection, which blurred the objectiveness of public opinion. Therefore, if one estimates the individual attitudes towards ethnic profiling, it may be deduced that many citizens support careful verification of immigrants’ guilt rather than unconditional detainment. Furthermore, according to the s
Identification of murder victims can be instrumental in solving murder cases because much of the information about any murder case is usually found when investigators know the details of the life of the victim. As important as it is, identification of victims of murder may prove to be a difficult affair especially in cases where the remains are degraded or aged. The victim’s fingerprints may be missing on file, there may be no witnesses and the body may not be accompanied by identification documents. If the body is disfigured and investigators cannot take a picture of the victim, investigators use more advanced methods to identify the victim. This paper is an analysis of the methods used to identify murder victims. One of the basic methods of identifying murder victims is an analysis of fingerprints. This works in victims whose fingerprints are on file and whose cadavers are not disfigured or aged. Another method for the same category of victims is facial recognition. Police photograph the victim’s face and advertise in the media for relatives and friends to come forward and identify the victim. Additionally, the body of the victim may have some documents like receipts, a passport, or a driving license. These documents can be effectively used to identify the victim. Although having murder witnesses may pose danger to the witnesses, some murder cases are solved as a result of information given by witnesses. In some cases, witnesses may even know who the victim of the murder is, and they can therefore save investigators the tedious process of identifying the victim. Another common method used in the identification of murder victims is confrontation identification. In this method, investigators assume that the identity of the victim is that of a person who could have possibly been murdered. In this method, the confirmation can be done visually by a relative or if the body is degraded, analysts can compare the DNA of the victim with that of his presumed relatives. This method has been used in the past when there are cases of murders and missing people occurring at around the same time. Analysis of stable isotopes can also reveal information about the victim. In this analysis, investigators use hair, nails, bones, teeth, and the like. This method is particularly useful because it is difficult to find a cadaver that
Introduction The second half of the past century was characterized by a blistering rise in the popularity of science fiction. Although this genre actually appeared much earlier, it was this period of time that served as the unique environment in which it was able to evolve and become one of the most popular genres of literature today. Several factors promoted the increased attention given to science fiction. First of all, was the revolution in the sphere of technology. Space flight, the Moon landing, the creation of computers, and other such technological advances obviously impacted people’s mentality and encouraged the appearance of concerns connected with technology. As their previous fantasies came true, people were able to dream about new goals. For this reason, new perspectives appeared, and dreamers started to create completely new stories. However, at the same time, the second half of the 20th century was a complex period characterized by the end of many old traditions, lifestyles, and beliefs caused by significant alterations in international policy, mentalities, world wars, and more. Indeed, the combination of these unique aspects stimulated the development of science fiction and gave rise to a number of stories that are today considered to be classics (Chandler 44). Fahrenheit 451 is one of these stories. The story contains numerous symbols and allusions to the problems peculiar to the modern society which make it a great dystopian novel and help the author to convey his message to people. Analysis Ray Bradbury was among the most important authors who managed to impact the genre of science fiction and its evolution greatly. His works are appreciated by the majority of literary critics and are considered a great cultural heritage. Most of the themes and plots used by Bradbury still remain topical and make people think about important issues or problems (Nolan 12). Although there are many sci-fi stories and even chronicles written by this acclaimed author, only a few are especially important for his creativity as well as modern society; Fahrenheit 451 is one of these stories. Many critics consider it to be the greatest Bradbury story of all because of the unique importance of the issues i
Introduction Academic search engines and bibliographic databases (ASEBDs) are regarded as the primary platform for accessing up-to-date scientific publications. Scholars often utilize ASEBDs to provide a lens via which they could perform analyses (Apuke and Iyendo, 2018; Croft, Metzler and Strohman, 2015). The rise of the Internet in the late 1990s led to the emergence of ASEBDs which replaced conventional offline systems (Dagienė and Danutė, 2016). Nonetheless, in the early 2000s, technological innovations resulted in the development of sizeable crawler-based search engines, such as Microsoft Academic and Google Scholar (Dagienė and Danutė, 2016; Fagan, 2017). Google Scholar established itself as the dominant go-to information source in academia, and it seemed incomparable based on the efficiency and adequate provision of online scholarly documents (Gusenbauer, 2019; Mingers and Meyer, 2017). Nevertheless, after halting its service, Microsoft Academic relaunched its academic search engine in 2017 to rival the former (Harzing and Alakangas, 2017b). In addition to Microsoft Academic and Google Scholar, there are other information sources, such as Wolfram Alpha, that try to convince academicians of the validity of the information that they constitute. Unlike the former search engines, Wolfram Alpha is a computational knowledge engine that generates searches through performing computations from the Wolfram database instead of the web (Wolfram Alpha, 2020a). Even though people have access to various platforms, it is often unclear which system best suits their needs. There are different benchmarks available for assessing the quality of ASEBDs, for instance, accessibility, industry value, reliability, currency, and strengths, and weaknesses. This study concentrates on comparing the five criteria concerning Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, and Wolfram Alpha. Method Searches were performed in Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, and Wolfram Alpha to approximate a user’s approach to the same topic, “plane turbine engine”. The search results were evaluated for the information they provided regarding the turbine engine and engineering in general. For every search, the search results were examined to determine various characteristics, including accessibility, industry value, reliability, currency, strengths, and weaknesses. In addition, other searches were narrowed by date to generate sets of reasonable size, therefore, allowing for the comparison of unique items retrieved by every service system. Google Scholar Accessibility Google Scholar is a free-to-access search engine that provides end-users access to comprehensive and multidisciplinary content. The site is characterized to have a convenient and straightforward interface that facilitates smooth and quick searching, leading to its usability. The search engine contained a mixture of full-text and subscription plan articles. Although not all documents were available in
The Brady Campaign to prevent gun violence supports the use of a five day waiting period to carry out background checks on individual applicant before they are allowed to purchase a gun. The Brady campaign relies on regulations and policies to support that position. Brady campaigners argue that on average that there are 268 gun related deaths each day in the United States (Brady Campaign: To Prevent Gun Violence 1). According to Brady Campaign: To Prevent Gun Violence, the five days waiting period was the reason for blocking 69, 000 hand guns from being sold in 1997 (1). Because of that, some of the applicants were later discovered to be indicted of felonies. According to the statistics of 1998, 49,160 applicants for hand guns were denied purchases and by 1999, 3,823 denials had been sustained (Ten Myths about Gun Control 1). However, from the time the Brady act was legislated, a “decline in number of violent crimes by 43%, murders by 49%, rapes by 32%, robbery by 51%, and aggravated assault by 39% were recorded” (Brady Campaign: To Prevent Gun Violence par.2) . The act supports the use of a specific waiting period to acquire a gun while NRA supports the use of instant background checks to acquire a firearm. Kopel argues that after the National Rifle Association (NRA)’s approach of conducting instant national checks before issuing a gun was implemented, the rate of gun related murder decreased by 21 percent since 1998 and 54 % of Americans support the idea of instant background checks (1). When instant checks were
A Rose for Emily is an excellent example of the Southern Gothic genre. The Southern Gothic is a literal tradition that came into existence in the 20 th century and became popular in European literature. The genre is rooted in mysterious secrets, supernatural events, frightening scenarios, and extreme character duress, which leaves the reader desensitized. The genre focuses on ridiculous and morbid features such as secret passages, draft castles, and laced cobwebs. The Southern Gothic genre explores the antisocial behaviors that confined against the social norms and hinged on the belief that daily life and these social customs were just imaginary. A Rose For Emily creates the theme of mental illness, murders, love-loss that ends up creating a frightening environment for the client, thus suits a Gothic Tale. Firstly, A Rose for Emily illustrates the Southern Gothic genre through the townsfolks accessorizing Homer’s murder. After Emily’s father died, she isolated herself from society, and her house began to decay to smell awful. The judge sent some township men to clean the place, but instead, they sprinkled lime over the property. The township could have helped Emily and discarded the father’s body, but rather, they worried if she needed help (Sullivan 175). It is clear that the townspeople are fond of Emily and respect her. This aspect can be seen when she purchased the rat poison “So the next day we all said, “She will kill herself”; and we said it would be the best thing.” (Faulkner 6). They were in awe of her, but they harbored feelings of powerful aggression. The town did not want to associate with her, yet they cared for her, which pushed her to buy the arsenic to kill Homer Barron. Instead of doing the right thing, the town decided to cover the crime. Them turning a blind eye on Homer Barron’s death shows the element of the extreme character duress in the Southern Gothic genre. Secondly, A Rose for Emily contains the theme of lost love, representing Southern Gothic stories. When Emily met Homer, a foreman, marriage was possible. Still, then issues of her social status arose, and it can be seen when the town murmured, “Of course, a Grierson would not think seriously of a Northerner, a day laborer… grief could not cause a real lady to forget noblesse oblige” (Faulkner 5). Homer’s perspective on his love towards Emily was not accurate, but he spent time with her. However, it was said that Homer was gay and he liked men (Faulkner 6). Emily saw the relationship from a romantic perceptive, while Homer saw it as spiritual. It made Emily terrified of being alone as unrequited love is painful (Liu 198). It led her to purchase wedding items for her and Homer, invite him to dinner, and poison him with arsenic. Hence, A Rose for Emily portrays a romantic love skewed with dysfunctionality as described in the Southern Gothic stories. Similarly, lost love is also portrayed between Emily and her father, just as Southern Gothic themes. Emily’s father controlled her life, making it almost impossible for her to interact with the town and also forbid her from a romantic relationship “We remem
