Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic Japanese Tea House Architecture. One would think that, with the profound implication of the tea ceremonies, that the tea houses would be elaborate. Actually, just the opposite is true – the houses are austere, simple. The features of the houses afford a way for the guests to hide from the outside world. This is because, as the opening sentence stated, they house another world, another reality. After all, the participants in the house, noblemen, peasant, warrior alike, are all equal. This is indicative of an alternate reality. Also, the ceremonies are a way for the people to leave their real life behind, and concentrate only on the moment. The tea house thus serves the same function as the tea ceremonies themselves – they are a way, if only for a few hours, to destroy class structure and the real world.

Tea ceremonies came about through the practice of Buddhist Monks who needed to stay awake during their meditations, and later became a part of Zen rituals in honor of Bodhidharma, the Zen monks first patriarch.1 From this, the tea ceremonies became a place where friends gathered to discuss certain objects and their artistic merits, such as various paintings and calligraphy, flower arrangements and the utensils used for these ceremonies. 2 The tea host himself had to be adept at certain knowledge, such as what scrolls to hang during the ceremony, and the meaning of these scrolls, which presumed knowledge of classical literature.3 He also must have been conversant about the articles that are either displayed or used in the tea ceremony: utensils, the flowers, the distinction of the burning incense, the incense burner itself, the dipping ladle, the water heater vessel and the tea container. 4 He must have known the protocol of the ceremony – greeting and conversing with guests properly and the manners and courtesies that must be observed.

Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic Nano in treating cancer. ‎

The Nano technology is fast developing in cancer treatment. It is difficult to kill the ‎cancer cells in the body because they are surrounded by normal functioning cells which shouldn’t ‎be harmed. Silicon Nanobombs were made to fight this war on cancer. They have successfully ‎been used against killing breast cancer cells as well as tumors. A type of Nanobomb, called the ‎porous silicon Nanobomb, has also been used to kill cancer cells without killing normal cells. ‎They are generated by an NIR light (Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center).‎

Nanoparticles are very specific in nature, sort of like enzymes. However, they release ‎enzymes, proteins and sometimes antibodies to fight against their specificity. They also require ‎different conditions of reactions which usually consist of low temperature and maybe high ‎pressure. The best part about Nano treatment in cancer is that even though your cancer cells are ‎being killed without any other being harmed, there are no toxic effects left in your body. It is ‎very different from chemotherapy although it might be similar to radiation (American Institute of Physics). ‎

Nanotubes are also part of the Nano family but are different from Silicon Nanobombs. ‎Nanotubes are cylindrical in shape and larger than Nanobombs. They are extremely strong, one of ‎the strongest forms of carbon structures present. However, as Nanobombs are used in treating ‎cancer, they do not cause toxicity in the person afflicted with cancer. Nanotubes are somewhat ‎different.

Their nature is not to kill cancer cells at all but it is used in treating breast cancer. How? ‎Well, lasers make the Nanotubes fit for acting upon the cells to zap them up and destroy them so ‎that the process of metastasis is unable to take place and the cancer does not spread elsewhere in ‎the body.

Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic What are the main causes that lead to monopoly. The producer should have the necessary infrastructure that includes technology and other requirements which enable them to produce the specific goods or services and sell them at a reasonable price. This situation can be construed as a natural monopoly because the competitors cannot produce such commodities with patented technological capability, which they cannot acquire. The producer will have an exclusive control over a patent with regard to the manufacturing process of a specific product. Moreover, a company may be granted a right to produce a commodity or service by the government (Peterson, Monopoly, 2005).

Monopoly bestows upon a producer an exclusive possession of the market. Since, the producer controls the production it is possible for him to reduce production and increase prices with the sole aim of maximizing profits. Monopoly exists whenever the market has barriers to prevent the entry of competitors. The government creates such barriers in the case of natural monopolies. Further, the government itself provides some specific services or goods through local governmental bodies or franchises the same to a company and it regulates the production and prices of goods or services. Moreover, patents also create barriers in the market (Monopoly, 2003).

Technological advancement or the necessity to use a particular variety of machinery to produce commodities also serves to discourage competitors. Furthermore, large scale production and integrated operations enhance efficiency, and cost effective measures reduces prices. Adopting such measures will be beneficial to companies to cut down costs and provide goods to the consumers at reduced rates. Monopoly arises when a company indulges in anticompetitive activities which create barriers to trade (Monopoly, 2003).

It was thought that it would be an easy job because the researcher would only have to focus on a particular department or bureaucracy of Saudi Arabia. The literature led this research to the complex background and history of the bureaucracy and civil service of Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Civil Service of Saudi Arabia evolved from a simple government entity into a complicated agency but with traditional functions beginning to become a professional government department responsible of creating a staff that can provide effective human resource for the kingdom. This paper dealt with the subject of the Ministry of Civil Service of Saudi Arabia. As the research went on, with respect to the literature review and the survey research involving questionnaires submitted to a sample of 161 participants from the Ministry, it was found that the subject could encompass several departments.
