Title: Darwinism
Passage: Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (18091882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Also called Darwinian theory, it originally included the broad concepts of transmutation of species or of evolution which gained general scientific acceptance after Darwin published "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, including concepts which predated Darwin's theories. It subsequently referred to the specific concepts of natural selection, the Weismann barrier, or the central dogma of molecular biology. Though the term usually refers strictly to biological evolution, creationists have appropriated it to refer to the origin of life, and it has even been applied to concepts of cosmic evolution, both of which have no connection to Darwin's work. It is therefore considered the belief and acceptance of Darwin's and of his predecessors' workin place of other theories, including divine design and extraterrestrial origins.
Title: Patrick Matthew
Passage: Patrick Matthew (20 October 1790 8 June 1874) was a Scottish grain merchant, fruit farmer, forester, and landowner, who contributed to the understanding of horticulture, silviculture, and agriculture in general, with a focus on maintaining the British navy and feeding new colonies. He published the basic concept of natural selection as a mechanism in evolutionary adaptation and speciation (i.e. resulting from "positive" natural selection, in contrast to its already, widely known, "negative" rle in removal of individuals in the Struggle for Survival), but failed to develop or publicise his ideas. Consequently, when Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species", he and Alfred Russel Wallace were regarded by their scientific peers as having originated (independently of each other) the theory of evolution by natural selection; it has been suggested that Darwin andor Wallace had encountered Matthew's earlier work, but there is no hard evidence of this. After the publication of "On the Origin of Species", Matthew contacted Darwin, who in subsequent editions of the book acknowledged that the principle of natural selection had been anticipated by Matthew's brief statement, mostly contained in the appendices and "addendum" of his 1831 book, "On Naval Timber and Aboriculture".
Title: Price equation
Passage: In the theory of evolution and natural selection, the Price equation (also known as Price's equation or Price's theorem) describes how a trait or gene changes in frequency over time. The equation uses a covariance between a trait and fitness to give a mathematical description of evolution and natural selection. It provides a way to understand the effects that gene transmission and natural selection have on the proportion of genes within each new generation of a population. The Price equation was derived by George R. Price, working in London to re-derive W.D. Hamilton's work on kin selection. The Price equation also has applications in economics. Examples of the Price equation can be found here: Price equation examples.
Title: Evolution: A Theory in Crisis
Passage: Evolution: A Theory in Crisis is a 1985 book by Michael Denton arguing that the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection is a "theory in crisis". Reviews by scientists say that the book distorts and misrepresents evolutionary theory and contains numerous errors.

Passage: Ritwik Ghatak (Bengali: , "Ritbik Kumar Ghk", ; 4 November 19256 February 1976) was a Bengali filmmaker and script writer. Along with prominent contemporary Bengali filmmakers Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen, his cinema is primarily remembered for its meticulous depiction of social reality. Although their roles were often adversarial, they were ardent admirers of each other's work and, in doing so, the three directors charted the independent trajectory of parallel cinema, as a counterpoint to the mainstream fare of Hindi cinema in India. Ghatak received many awards in his career, including National Film Award's Rajat Kamal Award for Best Story in 1974 for his "Jukti Takko Aar Gappo" and Best Director's Award from Bangladesh Cine Journalist's Association for "Titash Ekti Nadir Naam".

On 20 September 1977, it finally premiered at the New Empire theatre in Kolkata, India.

Following the sale of "Half-Breeds on Venus", which was a sequel to "Half-Breed", Asimov suggested to "Astounding Science Fiction" editor John W. Campbell that he write a sequel to the story "Homo Sol". Campbell was unenthusiastic, but agreed. Since "The Imaginary" lacked the human-alien conflict that he had liked in the earlier story, Campbell ultimately rejected it.

Because of the pseudonym, Asimov forgot that this story had ever been published and so, assuming that it had been rejected and believing that he no longer had a copy of it, he omitted it from "The Early Asimov" (1972), a collection of his earliest stories. In that book he listed "The Weapon" among eleven of his short stories that had been lost forever. However, while writing the first volume of his autobiography, "In Memory Yet Green" (1979), Asimov came across an entry in his diary which reminded him that the story had indeed been published. Obtaining a copy of the relevant magazine, he ensured that the story was published in chapter 30 of that book.

Were James Hanley and John Kenneth Galbraith authors?

Title: James Hanley (novelist)
Passage: James (Joseph) Hanley (3 September 1897 11 November 1985) was a British novelist, short story writer, and playwright of Irish descent. He published his first novel "Drift" in 1930. The novels and short stories about seamen and their families that he wrote in the 1930s and 1940s included "Boy" (1931), the subject of an obscenity trial.

In the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s he wrote plays, mainly for the BBC, for radio and then for television, and also for the theatre. He returned to the novel in the 1970s.

Passage: The Great Crash, 1929 is a book written by John Kenneth Galbraith and published in 1955; it is an economic history of the lead-up to the Wall Street Crash of 1929.

It was Galbraith's belief that a good knowledge of what happened in 1929 was the best safeguard against its recurrence.

Title: Economics and the Public Purpose
Passage: Economics and the Public Purpose is a 1973 book by Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith. Galbraith advocates a "new socialism" as the solution, nationalising military production and public services such as health care. He also advocates introducing disciplined wage, salary, profit and price controls on the economy to reduce inequality and restrain the power of giant corporations. Socialisation of the "unduly weak industries and unduly strong ones" together with planning for the remainder would allow the public interest to be accorded its rightful preference, argues Galbraith, over private interests. He adds that this can only be achieved when there is a new belief system that rejects the orthodoxy of economics in the past. The new socialism needs to be achieved through gradual democratic political change.
Title: John Kenneth Galbraith
Passage: John Kenneth "Ken" Galbraith, OC ( , October 15, 1908 April 29, 2006) was a Canadian-born economist, public official, and diplomat, and a leading proponent of 20th-century American liberalism.

What engineer was raised in Detroit and has a patented industrial construction technique for reinforcement of buildings?
|
Title: Anchorage in reinforced concrete
Passage: Reinforced concrete [RC] is concrete in which reinforcement bars ("rebars"), reinforcement grids, plates or fibers are embedded to create bond and thus to strengthen the concrete in tension. The composite material was invented by French gardener Joseph Monier in 1849 and patented in 1867. Conventionally the term Concrete refers only to concrete that is reinforced with iron or steel. However, other materials are often used to reinforce concrete e.g. organic and inorganic fibres, composites in different forms. While compared to its compressive strength, concrete is weak in tension. Thus adding reinforcement increases the strength in tension. The other purpose of providing reinforcement in concrete is to hold the tension cracked sections together.
Title: Julius Kahn (inventor)
Passage: Kahn was born in Mnstereifel, Germany, March 8, 1874. He was raised in Detroit, Michigan. Kahn came to Detroit in 1881 from Germany with his family (five brothers and two sisters) when he was six years old, settling first in Baltimore, Maryland in 1880. His father Joseph (18601924) was a rabbi and ran a restaurant. Kahn helped in his father's restaurant business and sold newspapers. His mother Rosalie was skilled in music and art. Kahn went to the Detroit Public Schools where he received his elementary schooling, doing the normal four-year high school in three years.
Title: Kahn System
Passage: The Kahn System is an industrial construction technique for reinforcement of buildings that was engineered and patented by Julius Kahn.

Title: Tilt up
Passage: Tilt-up, tilt-slab or tilt-wall is a type of building and a construction technique using concrete. Though it is a cost-effective technique with a shorter completion time, poor performance in earthquakes has mandated significant seismic retrofit requirements in older buildings.
Title: Opus craticum
Passage: Opus craticum or "craticii" is an ancient Roman construction technique described by Vitruvius in his books "De architectura" as wattlework which is plastered over. Vitruvius disparaged this building technique as a grave fire risk, likely to have cracked plaster, and not durable. Surviving examples were found in the archaeological excavations at Pompeii and more so at Herculaneum, buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD and excavated beginning in 1929. Scholarly confusion exists and the term "opus craticium" is also used for the Roman building technique very similar, but not identified as being directly related to half-timbering, a timber framework with the wall infill of stones in mortar called "opus incertum". An example of this technique is the House of Opus Craticum in Herculaneum, which is a reconstruction of the original building.

Rhino Arks initial aim was to build a fence along sections of the Aberdare National Park on its Eastern Salient where rhino were being mercilessly poached. The Salient borders directly onto farming land. Wildlife was able to maraud at night into the farms bordering the park, destroying crops, creating fear and loss of both revenue and on occasions, lives. This situation fuelled an already volatile community which saw no value in protecting either the wildlife or the forest habitat. Poachers had easy access.

Title: Northwest Corridor Project
Passage: The Northwest Corridor Project (formerly Northwest Corridor HOVBRT) is a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) plan currently under construction to put HOV and Peach Pass toll lanes (and originally bus rapid transit) along Interstate 75 and Interstate 575 in the northwestern suburbs of metro Atlanta.
