On the morning of December 1st, 1934, Leonid Nikolaev walked inside the Party Headquarters in Leningrad, where he shot and killed Sergei Kirov, the head of the Leningrad Party organization. Owing to Joseph Stalin’s growing suspicion of party members, the death of Kirov opened the door for what became known as The Great Terror. By the end of 1939 over two million people were directly impacted by the purges, estimates put the death toll close to 800,000 people killed outright, and hundreds of…
As an aspiring Industrial Engineer one field that is of particular interest to me as an individual is Operations Research (OR). Operations Research is the application of scientific principles to business management, which provides a quantitative basis for complex decision-making. I’ll introduce why I chose this particular field and how a conversation on ethics is warranted through explanation of the extent of OR methodologies and the impact of the decisions made by these researchers. Think of OR…
United States dropped two nuclear weapons in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 120,000 people immediately got killed and this led to the end of World War II.

2.3 Computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics or commonly abbreviated as CFD is the branch of fluid dynamics which is applied to simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and associated phenomena such as chemical reactions by the numerical solution of the governing equations to analyze complex flows system such as complex turbulent flow (Versteeg and Malalasekera, 1995). Therefore, CFD has often been provided as the tool for testing of conditions which are not possible or difficult…
Throughout the history of the United States Military there were several different uniform styles they would wear during battle. From long sleeve shirts to bullet proof vests. The late 18th century was characterized by tight fitted smallclothes. But around the time of the second world war uniforms were slightly different. “On September 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland from the west; two days later, France and Britain declared war on Germany, beginning World War II.

World War II was one of the deadliest wars in history to date. It was initiated by a joint invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939.

more rapidly. This operation was highly secretive and was code named Operation Paperclip. The success of the operation, which ran up until 1990, helped move the US forward in science and technology by using Germans scientists to make advances in all areas of science and especially in the study of space technology that would have taken the US much longer to achieve without their contributions. Although there were ethical and moral problems with Operation Paperclip, the Operation itself was…
