Although latent racism is hard to prove‚ many people have made it their duty to showcase and expose forms of racism that one would not normally jump to. For example‚ in the article Occupy the Dream:

Sameera Raziuddin Latent Heat of Fusion April 11‚ 2011 Abstract: A calorimeter‚ water at room temperature‚ ice‚ and a Pasco GLS Explorer were used in combination with a known value of the latent heat of fusion to create and carry out an experiment to determine the mass of an unknown amount of ice. Using the formula for latent heat of fusion‚ the mass of the ice was calculated to be 45.76g. The error of the carried out experiment was calculated to be 20.06%. Introduction:

In latent toxoplasmosis‚ bradyzoites are present in the tissue as cysts. Individuals with latent toxoplasmosis are asymptomatic. Despite the lack of symptoms‚ it is important to keep in mind that a chronic‚ lifelong infection has been established. If an individual with latent infection becomes immunocompromised later in life‚ he or she may be at risk for disease reactivation and increased morbidity and mortality without appropriate treatment.18‚ 28 Acute‚ or primary‚ toxoplasmosis is caused by

The Strain Theory decodes the mechanics of crime committed as being social structures in any given society pressuring its citizens to commit crime. This theory states
