COMPUTERS AND HEALTH
Реферат, 19 Марта 2014
ithin the past two years, substantial media attention has been directed at potential adverse health effects of long-term computer use. Renewed concerns about radiation, combined with reports of newly-recognized "repetitive stress injuries" such as carpal tunnel syndrome, have led some to call for regulation in the workplace and others to rearrange their offices and computer labs. There is little evidence that computer use is on the decline, however. On the contrary, more people are spending more time doing more tasks with computers -- and faculty, students and staff at colleges and universities have some of the most computer-intensive work styles in the world.

Markets and Monopolies
Контрольная работа, 12 Января 2011
1) Whenever people who are willing to sell a commodity contact people willing to buy it, a market for that commodity is created. 2) Buyers and sellers meet in person, or they may communicate by letter, by phone or through their agents. 3) In a perfect market, communications are easy, buyers and sellers are numerous and competition is completely free. 4) In a perfect market there can be only one price for a given commodity: the lowest price which sellers will accept and the highest which consumers will pay. 5) There are, however, no really perfect markets, and each commodity market is subject to special conditions. 6) Competition influences the prices prevailing in the market. 7) Prices inevitably fluctuate, and such fluctuations are also affected by current supply and demand.
Meat and meat products
Курсовая работа, 21 Марта 2014
Fresh red meats are refrigerated. Cured meats such as ham, bacon, and sausage contain chemical preservatives (salt, nitrate, nitrite) but are, in addition, heat processed and stored under refrigeration. Fresh and cured meats are also canned. With severe heat processing a shelf-stable product is produced. In certain products stability is achieved in part through other processes; fermentation, drying, smoking and impregnation with vinegar.
Business and Inflation

Deflation is the opposite process - reducing the overall price level (negative growth). In today's economy are rare and short-term, usually the season. For example, prices for grain immediately after harvest is usually reduced. Prolonged deflation characteristic of the very few countries. Today can serve as an example of deflation, Japan's economy (within 1%). There are instances when government policies led to a long period of decline in retail prices with a gradual increase in wages (for example, in the Soviet Union in the last years of Stalin's life, and under the government of Ludwig Erhard in West Germany since 1950).

Prices and Consumer Incomes
Реферат, 04 Декабря 2013
The economic factor that consumers must consider carefully in making their purchases of goods and services is their own level of income. Most people earn their income from the work they perform, whether as physicians, carpenters, teachers, plumbers, assembly line workers, or clerks in retail stores. Some people also receive income by renting or selling land and other natural resources they own, as profit from a business or entrepreneurial venture, or from interest paid on their savings accounts or other investments.
Christian Dior and New Look
Реферат, 09 Января 2014
Каждая эпоха создает свой эстетический идеал человека, свои нормы красоты, выраженные через конструкцию костюма, его пропорции, детали, материал, цвет, прически, грим. Во все периоды существования сословного общества костюм был средством выражения социальной принадлежности, знаком привилегий одного сословия перед другим. Чем сложнее структура общества, тем богаче традиция, тем разнообразнее одеяния.
Уже полвека имя Кристиана Диора является синонимом моды. Диор – это элегантность, женственность и совершенный вкус. Кристиан Диор не только изменил и сделал модной "высокую моду", он противоречил самому образу модельера, принятого в обществе. Этот француз никогда не шел на поводу у своей популярности.
Formal and Informal English
Реферат, 07 Сентября 2013
The difference between formal and informal English is not a difference between correct and incorrect, but a difference of what is known as register. A register is a variety of language related to a particular subject matter or area of activity, a set of words and expressions as well as syntactical features that may be said to characterise that specific area of language. There are many registers: technical, academic, mathematical, scientific, etc. Very broadly speaking, we can also speak of a “formal” and “informal” register in English. In writing academic reports and the like, it would be normal to draw most of the vocabulary and expressions from the formal register, and few, if any, from the informal. This entails avoiding colloquial (everyday) or slang expressions in your writing assignments.
British and Ukrainian cuisine
Лекция, 20 Февраля 2014
Some people criticize English food. They say it's unimaginable, boring, tasteless, it's chips with everything and totally overcooked vegetables. The basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavour that British haven't had to invent sauces to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh pees or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious?
Mary I Tudor. Birth and family
Реферат, 03 Мая 2013
I decided to take this topic because I was always interested in origin nickname of Mary I Tudor. Why was she called so? What did she do to deserve this nickname? There is even a cocktail with the same name. So, i found some information about this queen. And here it is. She was the only surviving child born of the ill-fated marriage of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon. Her younger half-brother, Edward VI, succeeded Henry in 1547. When Edward became mortally ill in 1553, he attempted to remove Mary from the line of succession because of religious differences. On his death, their cousin Lady Jane Grey was at first proclaimed queen. Mary assembled a force in East Anglia and successfully deposed Jane, who was ultimately beheaded. In 1554, Mary married Philip of Spain, becoming queen consort of Habsburg Spain on his accession in 1556.

Customes and traditions in Britain
Доклад, 10 Марта 2013
It is every boy and girl's dream to have two birthdays in one year; well, Queen Elizabeth is very lucky because she has two birthdays, one in April and one in June.
Why does Queen Elizabeth have two birthdays? The Queen's actual birthday is on 21 April, she was born on 21 April 1926. But also she has official birthday. It has long been customary to celebrate the Sovereign's birthday publicly on a day during the summer, when better weather is more likely.
Since 1805, the Sovereign’s 'official' summer birthday has been marked by the Trooping the Color ceremony, which is also known as the Queen's Birthday Parade, and is normally held on the second Saturday in June.
Disadvantages and Risks of the Euro
Контрольная работа, 22 Марта 2014
Venture capital is a type of private equity capital typically provided by professional, outside investors to new, high-potential-growth companies in the interest of taking the company to an IPO. Venture capital investments are generally made as cash in exchange for shares in the invested company. A venture capitalist (VC) is a person who makes such investments. A venture capital fund is a pooled investment vehicle (often an LLC or LP) that primarily invests the financial capital of third-party investors in enterprises that are too risky for the standard capital markets or bank loans. Venture capital can also include managerial and technical expertise. Most venture capital comes from a group of wealthy investors, investment banks and other financial institutions that pool such investments or partnerships. This form of raising capital is popular among new companies, or ventures, with limited operating history, who cannot raise funds through a debt issue. The downside for entrepreneurs is that venture capitalists usually get a say in company decisions, in addition to a portion of the equity.
The Great War and Modern Literature
Реферат, 23 Февраля 2014
World War I marks the beginning of the modern era but, like the death of Queen Victoria, the war is a marker more useful in historical than literary terms. For example, the literary movement now commonly referred to as «Modernism» was well underway by the last decade of the nineteenth century. In the minds of those British writers who survived the conflict, the World War was more than a military and political event that changed the map of Europe. Beginning with the war poetry of Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, and others, modern English literature took on pervasive tones of irony and intensity, and expressed moods of sobriety and pathos that writers believed were intrinsic to the human condition in the modern world. It would be incorrect to think of these qualities as uniquely modern, of course, but their increasing importance in literature suggests the movement away from the relatively self-confident view of the world that was characteristic of the nineteenth century.

Future Technology and Aircraft Types
Статья, 23 Сентября 2013
The following discussion is based on a presentation by Ilan Kroo entitled, Reinventing the Airplane: New Concepts for Flight in the 21st Century.
When we think about what may appear in future aircraft designs, we might look at recent history. The look may be frightening. From first appearances, anyway, nothing has happened in the last 40 years!
There are many causes of this apparent stagnation. The first is the enormous economic risk involved. Along with the investment risk, there is a liability risk which is of especially great concern to U.S. manufacturers of small aircraft. One might also argue that the commercial aircraft manufacturers are not doing too badly, so why argue with success and do something new? These issues are discussed in the previous section on the origins of aircraft.

Все остальное — это правила взаимодействия между ними.

Human Genetics and Hereditary Diseases
Контрольная работа, 07 Ноября 2014
Many people are now aware that genetic information is contained in chromosomes. Scientists have learned to distinguish and differentiate segments within chromosomes. Therefore, we are able not only to distinguish each chromosome by its size and shape, but to recognize every segments within it. In diagnostics it is easy to distinguish chromosomes with additional or missing segments. This enables us to associate a hereditary disease with a specific defect in a chromosome and identify the segment responsible for the disease.

What is the difference between man and women?
Сочинение, 05 Ноября 2013
What is the difference between man and women? It seems like simple question, so most of the people will say that the difference is particularly in physiology, appearance (phenotype), genotype and gene. This is only biological view that gender differences are natural, constant and based on sex difference. Another approach supposes that gender does not associate with sex. It connects with the way of person either masculine or feminine behavior. It is also believed that there is no connection in being a man and behaving in a masculine way. This essay will examine different kinds of masculinities based on some main characters from the Billy Elliot movie.

Lexical Expressive Means and Stylistic Devices
Реферат, 08 Апреля 2014
Words in a context may acquire additional lexical meanings not fixed in the dictionaries, what we have called contextual meanings. The latter may sometimes deviate from the dictionary meaning to such a degree that the new meaning even becomes the opposite of the primary meaning. What is known in linguistics as transferred meaning is practically the interrelation between two types of lexical meaning: dictionary and contextual.

The problems of phonostylistics and dialectology
Реферат, 04 Апреля 2015
Pronunciation is by no means homogeneous. It varies under the influence of numerous factors. These factors do not have linguistic meaning so it is appropriate to refer to these factors as extralinguistic. The information about stylistic variations in learning, understanding and producing language is directly useful for the design, execution and evaluation of teaching phonetics. The branch of phonetics most usually applied for such information is phonostylistics.

Memory And Note-Taking In Consecutive Interpreting
Реферат, 04 Ноября 2013
“Interpreting is rendering information and idea from one language into another language by mean of speaking”. (Dang & Bui, 1999, p.36). Particularly, in the consecutive, interpreters have to give a rendering of speech’s segments after a party has finished speaking. Interpreters must receive and understand the incoming message and then express its meaning in the target language (TL). Despite understanding the process, they still get many problems in term of memory and note-taking. This essay will analyze the reasons that led to our weakness, along with identifying the solutions that will possibly help us improve the ability of memorizing and taking note.
Euphemisms and phenomenon of political correctness
Реферат, 11 Сентября 2014
Euphemism, as is known, is a word or phrase used to replace an unpleasant word or expression by a conventionally more acceptable one, for example, the word 'to die' has bred the following euphemisms: to pass away, to expire, to be no more, to depart, to join the majority, to begone, and the more facetious ones: to kick the bucket, to give up the ghost, to go west. So euphemisms are synonyms which aim at producing a deliberately mild effect.
