When I imagine a fish that resembles a sea monster, I immediately picture a sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). These fish are jawless and can grow up to 80 cm as an adult. An adult lamprey’s mouth has teeth arranged in circular rows like something from a nightmare. When it comes time to feed, sea lamprey latch on to a host and drill a hole to obtain nutrient-rich blood. If that weren’t enough, they only have two dorsal fins and one caudal fin and lack pelvic and pectoral fins, which gives them an
fish differ greatly mainly because of the medium they are in. Air has a higher concentration of dissolved oxygen which is why lungs are not as efficient and diffusions distances are not as small as they are in gills. Fish take in 80% of dissolved oxygen in the water that runs through the gills when mammals only take in 45%. Their structures are different but they have similar function. Alveoli and lamellae, the most important structures, both serve to increase the surface area for efficient oxygen

Nonassociative learning refers to a change in the magnitude of a response following the repeated exposure to a particular stimulus. More often than not, nonassociative learning is divided into three forms: habituation, dishabituation, and sensitization and explained through a dual process view in which one process yields habituation to a stimulus, and yet another, separate, process causes both dishabituation and sensitization. Emilie A. Marcus, Thomas G. Nolen, Catharine H. Rankin, and Thomas J.

novel. Besides Dodgson’s specific instructions for the illustrations, John Tenniel created his pictures without much help except for this inspiration. When Dodgson first hired Tenniel, he tried to provide Tenniel with as much resources as possible, including his own sketches and models. Despite having these resources, Tenniel did not need them. In fact, this disturbed Dodgson for he wanted Tenniel to use his examples. According to Gill Stoker, in a letter to another illustrator, Dodgson wrote: “Mr. Tenniel
As Bloom’s theory would suggest, John Milton is often credited with influencing literary figures - particularly during the Romantic period. T.S. Eliot writes of Milton’s ‘bad influence’ upon his successors while others, such as Lucy Newlyn , celebrate his impact. Many critics use Wordsworth as a perfect example of this influence and there is certainly a valid argument for his ‘emulation’ of, and ‘rebellion’ against, Paradise Lost. Throughout The Prelude, Wordsworth revises and alludes to Milton

Blumer was a devotee of George H. Mead, and was influenced by John Dewey. Dewey insisted that human beings are best understood in relation to their environment (Society for More Creative Speech, 1996). With this as his inspiration, Herbert Blumer outlined Symbolic Interactionism, a study of human group life and conduct
all involved Native Americans. However, another answer is not so obvious, because it needs deeper knowlege: There was one small Indian, who was a participant in all three events. His name was Black Elk, and nobody would have known about him unless John Neihardt had not published Black Elk Speaks which tells about his life as a medicine man. Therefore, Black Elk is famous as the typical Indian who grew up in the traditional Plains life, had trouble with the Whites, and ended up in the reservation

quintessentially hybrid, and if it has been the practice in the West since Immanuel Kant to isolate cultural and aesthetic realms from the worldly domain, it is now time to rejoin them” (“Connecting Empire to Secular Interpretation,” CA 58). On the other hand, John Rawls and others find in Kant’s 1795 essay “On Perpetual Peace” grounds for thinking Kant provides an antidote to colonization and an effective vision for order between nations. Is it that Kant has been understood correctly by one side, misunderstood
Locke and the Legitimacy of the State: Right vs. Good John Locke’s conception of the “legitimate state” is surrounded by much controversy and debate over whether he emphasizes the right over the good or the good over the right. In the midst of such a profound and intriguing question, Locke’s Letter Concerning Toleration, provides strong evidence that it is ineffective to have a legitimate state “prioritize” the right over the good. Locke’s view of the pre-political state begins with his
Expansion vs. Preservation William Sonntag was acclaimed in the 1850s as a painter of the dramatic landscape. In his painting “Garden of the Gods,” Sonntag portrays a family in the time of the westward expansion. The very subtle painting, expressed by its loose brushwork, captures the shifting atmospheric contrasts of light and dark. Apparent in the painting is a family struggling to survive in nature. In the bottom left corner of the painting is a weather beaten shack, the home of the struggling

Templar were the manifestation of a "new chivalry" which united the seemingly incompatible roles of monk and warrior. As the first religious military order, these dedicated men were models for successive orders including the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, later known as the Hospitallers, and the Teutonic Knights of the Hospital of St. Mary, two contemporary, rival brotherhoods. These and other orders, flourishing during the 12th-14th centuries as protectors of the Holy Land, were the first
