1. INTRODUCTION Airspace constraints and controller workload are foremost among the factors limiting the airspace capacity. Controller workload is the physical and mental work that the controllers are supposed to undertake so that air traffic can be managed safely [1]. Airspace can be divided into subdivisions to provide more efficient air traffic services and to reduce the effect of the controller workload on Air Traffic Management capacity. This process is called the sectorization [2]. ATS…

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Ultrasonography is an excellent modality for examining abdominal structures including the location and dimensions of canine kidneys (Remichi et al., 2014). It involves a non-invasive procedure for examination of kidney diseases (Sampaio and Araujo, 2002) and offers advantages over radiography as there are no side effects of radiation and contrast agents (Nyland et al., 1995). Canine kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal region of the…

INTRODUCTION Microbes are those microscopic organisms that can cause diseases in the human body. These microbes migrate with locomotive organelles called FLAGELLA, a very vigorous nanomotor that is highly conserved across bacterial species. Flagella allow the microbes to move towards favourable environments. Further studies on flagella has revealed that it not only serves the purpose of locomotion but also plays a very crucial role in bacterial pathogenicity(14). A flagella has mainly three…

HOME LAB DEEPWATER HORIZON, PART 1 There is a vast amount of information available regarding the Deepwater Horizon incident. The primary purposes of this lab are (a) to provide you an opportunity to read about the spill incident and the factors effecting environmental concerns, and (b) to help you learn to process the information, especially when it is conflicting, in such a way as to discount ‘bad’ information, acknowledge ‘good’ information, and gain useful knowledge from the overall…

Every minutes a woman dies of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. Every year, invasive breast cancer is diagnosed in many women alone. Doctors have not been able to find the cure yet. But thanks to nonprofit charities, such as the Susan G. Komen, researchers are receiving enough money that is donated to breast cancer to look deeper and try to find ways to cure and to help prevent such a fatal disease. Early detection of breast cancer helps prevent…

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…

My Awakening began with a visit to the Missouri Zen Center in Webster Groves. I have a family connection to Zen Buddhism through my niece and nephew. This piqued my curiosity of what it was like inside a temple or center for Buddhism. I made the decision before going that I would follow Eihei Dogan’s quote and “To forget the self is to be awakened by all things” this way I would have a clear mind of my experience. The center is in a tranquil setting in a Victorian house tucked up a hill…
