This document discusses life changes after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. It outlines what is not allowed in the new Islamic Republic, including public displays of affection, dancing, drinking alcohol, wearing inappropriate clothing, makeup, hair styles, and mixed gatherings where Islamic code is not followed. During Ramadan, eating or drinking in public during daylight hours is also prohibited. The document then discusses themes from the graphic novel Persepolis, including how the main character Marji did not understand the new veil requirement and the government's reasons for enforcing it. It also addresses how the Satrapi family's lifestyle and Marji's treatment changed with the new rules around parties, alcohol, and gender interaction. The impact of the Iran-27 NP Completness

In most of the algorithms analyzed until now, we have been looking and studying problems solvable in polynomial time. The polynomial time algorithm class P are algorithms that on inputs of size n have a worst case running time of O(n^k) for some constant k. Thus, informally, we can say that the Non-Polynomial (NP) time algorithms are the ones that cannot be solved in O(n^k) for any constant k

The document provides background on the shifting balance of power in East Asia after World War 2 and the onset of the Cold War between the US and USSR. It discusses:
1) How the US came to dominate Asia after WW2 due to other powers being weakened while the US emerged as a major superpower.
2) How the balance started to shift with the establishment of communist China in 1949 and challenges to Western colonial rule in Asia.
3) How the relationship between the former WW2 allies of the US and USSR soured due to clashes in ideology, military power, and spheres of influence, giving rise to the Cold War.fortigate

Both nuclear weapons and chemical weapons can cause mass casualties and have devastating immediate and long-term effects. Nuclear weapons derive their power from nuclear fission or fusion reactions and can destroy entire cities, while chemical weapons use toxic chemicals like nerve or blister agents to poison victims. The effects of both include initial blast, thermal radiation and nuclear radiation injuries as well as longer term consequences like increased cancer rates and genetic damage.The Invention of Nuclear Weapons

The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. It was led by the United States with support from the United Kingdom and Canada. The project's scientists, including Enrico Fermi and Robert Oppenheimer, researched nuclear fission and worked to design and build atomic bombs, conducting the first nuclear test, code named Trinity, on July 16, 1945. This led to the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 with a uranium gun-type bomb, and of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 with an implosion-type plutonium bomb, bringing World War II to an end.D3 (drought management and risk reduction in pakistan) brig. kamran shariff

This document presents a simple compartmental model to describe the dynamics of revolutions like the Arab Spring. The model divides a population into those participating in a revolution and those not participating. The model includes terms for growth in participation when the revolution becomes visible and decay when a regime can suppress it. New technologies may impact the model parameters by increasing visibility of protests and motivation of participants. Case studies of Tunisia and Egypt show how small changes in parameters due to new media could destabilize otherwise stable regimes.Chapter7

2) Iraq invading Iran in 1980 starting the Iran-Iraq War which lasted until 1988 with over 500,000 casualties and chemical weapons used, though no territorial changes.
3) The US publicly backed Iraq in the war but the Iran-Contra scandal revealed the US also secretly sold weapons to Iran in the 1980s violating arms embargoes.Arab israeli klaus 1

This document outlines Dr. Donald Wilhite's presentation on adapting drought management strategies to increasing climate risks. It argues for shifting from reactive, crisis-based approaches to proactive risk management through national drought policies. Such policies should promote early warning systems, preparedness planning, vulnerability assessments, risk reduction measures, and coordinated emergency responses. Adopting a risk management paradigm can help build societal resilience to more frequent and severe droughts expected due to climate change. The presentation highlights the need for political will to change drought management, noting the high costs of maintaining the status quo.6 Day War

A nuclear power plant uses nuclear fission to generate heat from nuclear fuel such as uranium-235. This heat is used to convert water to steam and drive turbines that generate electricity. Key components include nuclear fuel rods, control rods to regulate the fission reaction, steam generators to convert heat to steam, turbines turned by steam, and condensers to cool steam back into water. Nuclear power produces low carbon emissions but long-lived radioactive waste remains a challenge.Chapter3

The document provides an introduction to European imperialism between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. It defines imperialism as one nation dominating another's economy, government, and culture. The key motives for European imperialism were nationalism, racism/ethnocentrism, industrialization/capitalism, and a sense of adventure. Spain and Portugal were early imperial powers in the 15th-16th centuries, conquering Latin America and Africa for gold, religion, and glory. By the early 20th century, Europe controlled 96% of Africa due to military advantages, medicine like quinine, and dividing African tribes against each other.More Related Content

The March Revolution of 1917 in Russia was caused by (1) the poor leadership of Czar Nicholas II which maintained feudalism, (2) the enormous casualties and hardships of World War I, and (3) widespread starvation, poverty, and bread riots among the masses. This led to the Czar's abdication and the rise of the provisional government. However, divisions remained between revolutionaries like the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.
