Vertex

cultural diamond. This tool can be used to investigate the relationship between society and culture by identifying the four concepts that form the cultural diamond (Griswold, 2013). The cultural diamond is formed of four concepts each occupying a single vertex of the diamond. At the top of the cultural diamond is the concept Social world, moving clockwise the next concept is Receiver followed by Cultural Object, then Creator, finally coming back to the Social World (Griswold, 2013). Using…

It Is Time to Break the Silence Sometimes, a piece of nice artwork does not need to be creative, and does not even need to be pretty to touch a heart. All it needs to do is tell the truth about little details. Just like “Drinking with his Son”, a poem that does not have beautiful parallelism or fancy words. Like a simple pen drawing, surprisingly a poem that is so easy and straightforward contains the meaning that is so deep which touches the heart. Besides, sometimes, a piece of nice artwork…

This paper by Granovetter looks at the correlation between the level of network overlap and network strength. Namely, the paper looks to answer the following question: Is the degree of overlap of two individuals’ social networks correlated with the strength of their tie to one another? Furthermore, Granovetter provides a socioeconomic perspective on the implications of social tie strength- looking at tie strength and job acquisition. Granovetter interviewed a random sample of 54 individuals from…

with articulating my English clearly for people to understand me. This is clearly a weakness because sometimes it restricts my ability to communicate my ideas and thoughts efficiently. To illustrate more, during my last coop as an internal control at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, I had difficulties sometimes to contribute to my team meetings because I feared that I won't be understood clearly when talking. In addition, when I had to do presentations for my department, I used to panic and have anxiety…

INTRODUCTION: The various competing sound present in our environment is being constantly untangled by our brain, and attributed into distinct perceptual streams analogous to the distinct sound sources in listeners’ environment (Bregman, 1990; Moore & Gockel, 2002; Carlyon, 2004). The process with which the nervous system makes sense of complex patterns of acoustic stimulation is called auditory scene analysis (Bregman, 1990). Thus, segregating the sounds arising from various sources in the…

1. Introduction It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the importance of zeolites, especially aluminum rich ones including A, X and Y types [1]. Y zeolite is widely used as catalyst or catalyst support but a proper post treatment process such as dealumination should be carried out [2, 3] to increase Si to Al molar ratio to values over 3, which is not achievable through direct synthesis [4]. Zeolite dealumination was introduced regarding instability of the framework in acidic and aqueous…

Place Setting – Formal Dinner How to Arrange a Place Setting for a Formal Dinner Steps 1. Center the soup bowl on top of the dinner plate. 2. Place the forks directly to the left of the plate. The fork for the earliest course (usually salad) should be furthest from the plate, and the next fork in should be for the next course. The dessert fork should thus be closest to the plate. 3. Place the dinner knife directly to the right of the plate, with sharp edge facing the plate. If you will use a…

Abstract. In this work investigation for the effect of compressed CO2 on the morphology of the produced Polyaniline (PANI) was carried out. The conventional oxidative polymerization using ammonium peroxydisulfate as oxidizing agent was used with and without compressed CO2. The results showed that different morphologies of PANI nanorods and PANI nanoparticles were produced using the conventional polymerization with and without compressed CO2 respectively. Molecular characterization of the…

can get the solution of our problem. We use H or L as a suffix to represent the Counterfeit (or false) Coins as heavier or lighter, respectively. In the solution of the eight Coins problem in the form of a decision tree in Figure 1, each internal vertex (other than leaf vertices) represents a comparison between a pair of sets of Coins using an equal arm…

Dijkstra's algorithm solves the single-source shortest-path problem when all edges have non-negative weights. Let G= {V, E} be a directed weighted graph with V having the set of vertices. The special vertex s in V, where s is the source and let for any edge e in E, Edge Cost(e) be the length of edge e. For the weighted directed graph its adjacency matrix A = 〖(a_ij)〗_(n × n) is defined as follows: a_ij={ █(w_ij,& (V_i,V_j )∈E@ ∞,&(V_i,V_j )∉E)┤ i,j…
