Copyright terms are very long now compared to when copyrights were first used in the USA. The Constitution states that intellectual property protection should be for “a limited time”. It seems like every time the Disney Corporation’s copyrights on early Mickey Mouse cartoons are at risk for expiration, Congress extends the law. Is current law at odds with the Constitution on this issue?

Yes. From the above information it could be said that the current law is at odds with the constitution. As we all know Disney Corporation is a huge entity and a very famous one. It is one of the main tourist spots in USA. There are a lot of foreigners who visit USA just to go to DIsney Land.

So, a company which is so huge and popular will definetely have their fair share of contatcs in the Congress and so it wouldnt be that big of a task for them to make this happen.

What we need to consider here is that, whether this occurs only in regards to Disney corporations mickey mouse or if there are other companies as well for whom such changes take place at times.

This is for sure in odds with what is said in the Constitution as their it is said that copyrights should only be valid for a 'limited time' but in this case it has been forever. This will lead to the people losing faith in the congress and also in the Constitution. The constitution should not be something that can be altered so easily. It has to be followed by one and all.

Enzymes. When k2 is very small compared to k–1 the KM becomes a Kd (or in some textbooks this is called a KS ) for the ES complex. A Kd is really an equilibrium constant (Keq ) for a dissociation reaction in which the products are the dissociated form of the reactants. Write the reaction for which this Kd equals the Keq for your reaction. Make a generalization about the relationship between KM and enzyme-substrate binding affinity. When k2 is...

In the classical world, physicians used terms that were familiar to ordinary people, or formed terms based on everyday language. Physicians used words that already existed, such as cardia for “heart,” and analogies with objects or processes outside the body, such as amygdala—an almond-shaped structure in the brain—which in Greek means “almond.” As a result, medical terminology had a very different feel in its original context, where the terms related to objects found in everyday life and to beliefs about...
