Discuss the role of the supernatural in Aeneid 3 In ancient poetry‚ gods were people too; early epic was history but a history adorned by myth. This fantastical‚ mythical element came via the gods‚ envisaged as anthropomorphic deities. In Virgil’s Aeneid these gods function in epic as literary vehicles and as characters no less detailed and individual than the people in the poem.

Discuss explanations for insomnia and/or narcolepsy. (8 marks + 16 marks) Explanations of narcolepsy are in majority biological. Scientists have discovered that narcoleptics often are lacking in hypocretin which is a chemical in the brain that control sleep and wakefulness. A lack of this chemical may explain the sudden attacks of sleep. Sakurai (2007) highlighted how there are about 10‚000-20‚000 hypocretin-producing cells in a normal hypothalamus‚ but people with narcolepsy have a significantly

There appears to be a tendency for schizophrenia to run in families. This suggests that genes and biological factors play a role in the explanation of schizophrenia.. The closer the genetic relationship the more likely the people are to share the disorder. Evidence from family studies by Gottesman showed that when both parent are schizophrenic then there is a 46% chance of the child getting it‚ however‚ if only one parent had it‚ it dropped to 16% and dropped to a further 1% when the sibling of the

Action potential‚ impulse conduction (italics)‚ and cardiac cycle (bold) Pacemaker cells in the SA node‚ found in the wall of right atrium‚ begin as polarized‚ with Na+ on the outside of the cell (sarcolemma) and the cell at its resting potential (-80 mV in the atria‚ -90 mV in the ventricles). The atria are full or filling with blood. The SA (and technically the AV) nodal cells gradually drift towards their threshold after each repolarization and depolarize (the prepotential: spontaneous depolarization)

Aggression and sexuality play a main role in gender roles. Psychologists clarify aggression as behavior intended to hurt. Simple acts of aggression throughout the world include hunting‚ and fighting‚ which are primarily male activities (Wood and Eagly‚ 2007).

The Meiji Restoration of 1868 led to administrative modernization and subsequent rapid economic developments. But Japan did not possess enough natural resources to cope with the rising demand. She needed both overseas markets and sources of raw materials‚ fuelling a drive for imperial conquest which began with the Sino-Japanese War in 1894‚ followed by expansions in Korea and Manchuria. The internal and external circumstances at that time enabled Japan’s expansion in East Asia. One internal factor

Abstract Bionics is a field‚ which combines both electronics and biology. In simple terms‚ when we think about bionics‚ it is generally more about prosthetic arms or leg enhancement worn outside the body and‚ to some extend‚ even implanted sensor devices inside the body‚ which are essentially enhanced to carry out certain routine tasks. These are essentially life systems that are powered by motors/actuators and sensory arrays. These send neural signals from affected part of the body to the brain
