I. INTRODUCTION: Clopidogrel is one of the major drugs used in the treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Along with Aspirin it is the standard of care in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with stenting, when a long term dual antiplatelet treatment is needed. However the response to clopidogrel shows wide inter-individual variations. Various studies have shown that the polymorphisms in the genes responsible for Clopidogrel absorption and metabolism are a major factor for these variations.…

I saw Buffalo 40 perform at the DC9, a night club in northwest DC. Buffalo 40 is a rock band that was created in 2013 that combines many musical elements such as “rock funk blues metal and modern rock”(ReverbNation). These fusional musical elements of their performance highlighted their country music and rock musical identities as well as their attire, lyrics, gender identity socioeconomics and race. During the performance of clothing but one exception was one band member was wearing a top hat…

The Legacy of Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla is easily considered one of the world’s greatest inventors. His inventions in electricity have shaped the way we use technology today. His technological advances were so ahead of his time that Nikola Tesla’s fame and recognition did not come until after his death, which is what makes his legacy so significant. Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan, a town located in what is today Croatia. Tesla’s knack for invention was inspired by his mother, Djuka…

4. PHASE A TESTING 4.1. PURPOSE The primary purpose of Phase A testing is to evaluate the feasibility of an Arduino-based system in regards to the load sensor’s ability to weigh the balls and send this information to the Arduino. The physical design structure (funnel, feed ramp and selector disc) is also evaluated. Sorting capabilities are not tested. 4.2. RESULTS The balls had to be individually loaded into the device because the funnel was unable to handle the simultaneous loading of all the…

An innovator, immensely driven or perfectionist - Steve Jobs was considered to have all of these qualities and he had the drive to be the best. Though Jobs founded Apple purely with the idea to produce computers, the company later branched out to make many other successful products such as the iPad, iPhone, iPod, and Mac as well. Steve Jobs creatively led Apple’s success with a drive and focus on harnessing technology to build innovative products that won customers by enriching experiences. The…

Ultrafast Electron Microscopy has been demonstrated to be an effective table-top technique for imaging the temporally-evolving dynamics of matter with subparticle spatial resolution on the time scale of atomic motion. A stringent enhancement of the UEM temporal resolution is demanded for recording snapshots of the electron motion which will provide a real-time access to all microscopic motions outside the atomic core and radically change our insight into the workings of the microcosm. Here, we…

project was to provide medical facilities to the remotely located rural area by using existing technologies. The equipment consists of blood pressure meter, Digital Stethoscope, Pulse oximeter and digital Thermometer. We designed analog filters and amplifier in order to filter the unwanted signal and also amplify the required bio-medical signals. The whole design was implemented on a low cost development board (beaglebone black) which also hosts a small server. The required bio-medical signals…

1st Year Sound Design Film Essay – Wall-E Noah De Villiers (21800270) – 12/02/2018 ‘Wall-E’ is an animated film produced by Disney and Pixar that was released with the intention of being entertainment for young children. Despite this target audience, the film exceeds and defies all expectations by transforming this seemingly simple story, which centralises around a trash collecting robot named Wall-E chasing down a scout droid, EVE, who he views as the love of his life, into a tale of heroism…

Occupy Nation by Todd Gitlin is a quick and informative read that highlights the key aspects of the Occupy movement. The book seemed to mirror the movement itself with its tendency to stray from the norm by having frequent pictures of protesters littered through the pictures. It was very easy to read because of the descriptive language and narrative-style format. It read more like a story than an academic piece. On the other hand, Theda Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson’s The Tea Party and the…

A NOTE ON METHODOLOGY The title of this course is “Dostoevsky Presently: Poetics, Philosophy, Politics, and Psychology.” So I find it absolutely imperative to approach Dostoevsky’s work from a multidisciplinary angle. In this essay, I will analyze the characters’ actions and motivations based off the literal words Dostoevsky has written, and the subtext as understood from both a theological and psychological perspective. These will prove to be most appropriate choices of disciplines to…
