Psychology is the luckiest of the sciences because it owns the most interesting questions, the foremost being, "Why do people do what they do?" Naively, one might expect that research addressing this question would focus on the most important behaviors, but instead most studies choose behavioral dependent variables on the basis of their procedural feasibility and suitability for theory testing....

Sarcoidosis: A Systemic Inflammatory Disease Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the deposition of noncaseating granulomas in multiple organs, including the lungs, skin, central nervous system, and heart. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis is important because it confers a poorer prognosis, with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudde...

In his book titled “Everything Is Obvious. Once You Know the Answer”, Duncan Watts posits that what we value as worthwhile is often determined by chance. He cites the case of the famous painting Mona Lisa that is now considered among the world’s masterpieces, and hangs in a special place in the Musée du Louvre in Paris. For centuries, the Mona Lisa was of no particular interest, and was thought...

Pollution loads discharged from upstream development or human activities significantly degrade the water quality of a reservoir. The design of an appropriate water quality sampling network is therefore important for detecting potential pollution events and monitoring pollution trends. However, under a limited budgetary constraint, how to site an appropriate number of sampling stations is a chal...

This paper presents a case study of a group in initial primary teacher education students becoming researchers of their peers’ course experiences of school – university links. The connection between university teacher preparation programmes and work in school is a well-researched area with suggestions that there is a marked disconnect between the two. The project took an emergent approach to le...

astrophysics is becoming now an integral part of general physics. considering the black hole theory ,which is a new and exciting branch of relativistic astrophysics, we see many connections between elementary particle physics and astrophysics. in this article we attempt to explain the development of star physics ,in an easy ,understandable manner. previous knowledge of relativistic theory or cl...
