A total of four hypotheses were examined using the following variables: feelings of tension and anxiety before and after watching a video in which a news story covered a student going to a college campus with the intent of harming people, perceived threat while watching the video, perceived threat while watching similar news coverages, the number of hours a day spent consuming news, and participant gender. First, to test the hypothesis that feelings of tension and anxiety will be higher after…
Abstract This experiment was constructed to distinguish the differences with Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes by growing through a variety of media. These media consisted of rich and minimal. Rich media is a media that contains an abundant supply of nutrients for bacteria to grow. Minimal media is a media that contains the minimal amount of nutrients for bacteria to grow. Medias are important because they not only are used in growing microorganisms but are used in the medical field to help with the…
1.2. Previous Work The first symmetric key schemes for keyword search over encrypted data are proposed in [27]. The authors consider a setting in which the sender of file encrypts each word of a file separately. Goh [15] proposed a method for secure index using Bloom filters and introduced the notion of semantic security against adaptive chosen-keyword attacks. Determining whether a file contains a keyword can be done securely in constant time. In the public key setting, Boneh et al.[5] first…
Chapter-3 Diffie-Hellman, Seo and Tseng Protocol 3.1 Introduction Whitefield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976 had proposed key exchange or agreement algorithm. In this algorithm, the participants i.e. the sender and receiver have to agree on a symmetric key i.e. the same key or single key can be used for encryption as well as decryption. The key is only used for key agreement purpose, not for enciphering and deciphering the message. Once the agreement of key has been taken place between…
Stochastic Mortality Models Fitting mortality rates and hence longevity risk quantification dynamically continues to be a challenge especially in the developing countries. Earlier development relied on one-factor model by Lee and Carter (1992). Lee and Carter model is widely applied since it has been found to provide fairly accurate estimations and population projections for both the academicians and practitioners. Later on, Renshaw and Haberman and Halzoupoiz(1996) and Renshaw and Heberma…
Khufu pyramid (The Great Pyramid of Giza) Egypt is home to many unique things among them is the pyramids constructed by the laborers under the watch of the pharaohs. According to Butzer, Elisabeth and Serena (40), the pharaohs intended to create tombs for Kings such as Khufu to show appreciation to the gods. In doing the works, the pharaohs did not have the idea one of the pyramids would stand out as a great piece of artwork for many centuries to come. While designing structures, the leader…
Attention reader, this is a warning. You are about to read the cheesiest report you have ever read in your entire life. My theme for this Defense of Mastery is the makeup and history of cheese. I chose cheese as my Defense of Mastery theme because it is something out of the ordinary. Last semester I did the road to success, which was more mental than it was physical This semester I hope to go a little crazy and do something a little more challenging. I want to do something fun that could still…
1. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the experiment are: • Measurement of creep deformation in 2 materials; lead and polypropylene at room temperature. • Determine how creep deformation of chosen materials can be affected by stress. • Recognise that the two classes of materials show differences in creep behaviour. • Awareness of creep as a design consideration. 2. THEORY 2.1 Introduction Structural materials are often placed in service under a certain applied load at elevated temperatures (eg. wind…
1.5. Enzyme-Polysaccharide Interactions Proteins and enzymes have become an integral part of many industrial processes as well as being applied both in cosmetics and in therapeutics. Due to advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering, mass production of protein and enzymes has become feasible. Use of enzymes is environmentally friendly as they catalyse reactions under mild conditions against polluting inorganic catalysts which works in the extremes of pH and temperature. However, this can…
Corporate reputation According to the principal component analysis, the characteristics of LCG's corporate reputation can be grouped in two components (see table 22). The first component, called ‘external corporate reputation’, corresponds to general characteristics of external reputation as: trust, admiration, overall reputation, well management, good place to work, good employees, and high standards treating people. The second component, ‘social corporate reputation’, is related to the…
