What do you do with your thoughts? A long time ago, there was no paper to scribe thoughts onto or computers to record them. There was nothing to do with thoughts, but remember them. Anything worth preserving had to be preserved in memory. In the essay, “The End of Remembering” by Joshua Foer, memory is an important issue. Different tools for remembering are discussed. In the course of time, a series of technologies have been created: the alphabet, scrolls, the printing press, photography, the…

Statement of Purpose My grandfather and father were physicians and as a consequence, there was always an influence on me to be the next generation physician. We had a family garage, where my father and I used to repair our old-modelled motorcycle together with various other broken domiciliary machines and passed hours there. I was fascinated and excited by all these equipment and the idea of being an engineer in the future had peeped through my mind several times. But those could never surpass…

Even the slightest expressions from human could have a meaning, and those expressions are called micro expressions. The term micro expressions is labeled as a “very brief facial expressions, lasting only a fraction of a second” (Micro Expressions). In other words, micro expressions only exist in a blink of an eye that human couldn’t capture. Furthermore, human ways of interaction are deeply connected to emotions and function through a system of “social signals: facial expressions” (Jack, Caldara…

Assignment No : 3 Title Of Assignment A. Problem statement feasibility assessment using satisfiability analysis. B. Mathematical Modeling. A. Problem Statement : Big data is generated from various ubiquitous system. This data is difficult to handle with single computer In order to reduce the computation time and decreases the storage space the workload is distributed on two or more computers. MapReduce is recent programming model for processing on data Parallel manner. The performance of…

Q3. If the second clerk could be added anywhere you choose (and not necessarily to check for violations, as in Question 2), what is the maximum number of applications the process can handle? What is the new configuration? Approach: Analyzed the question, we added one more clerk in step 2 (process and record payment). Then use the formula as question 1 and 2 to calculate. Figure 3.1 Solution: When add the second clerk in step 2, then solve and record payments. We could see the above pictures, 2…

Self-evaluation levels of children who wet the bed aged six to fifteen, were compared to those of their peers and to those of their parents. Results showed that enuresis children compared themselves no differently to their peers, but parents of children who wet the bed reported psychosocial difficulties in their children, suggesting that more communication between children and parents is needed with an importance in discussions that promote encouragement and positive reinforcement of self-esteem…

Cognitive training is a term that reflects the hypothesis that one can maintain a cognitive ability through exercise of the brain. This can be proven through many different activities which in turn increases the cognitive reserve capacity. The studies that are outlined in the following piece demonstrate the ways in which scientific researchers go about measuring and demonstrating an individual’s cognitive brain capacity, Cognitive Training, also known as Brain Training, is the ability to…

Statement of Purpose “How do we ask the turtle to trace out a circle? Remember, it only knows how to walk in straight lines and turn around.” Playing with the Logo turtle on screen in sixth grade was my first exposure to computer science. I was immediately fascinated by the idea of approximating a smooth circle with a regular polygon of, say, 360 sides. Staring at the “circle” on screen, I could not quite digest the fact that it was something produced in a fundamentally different way compared to…

addition, course on hydrodynamics and hydrodynamics lab allowed me to visualize different flow patterns and flow properties and showed me how the flow pattern can be expressed in mathematical equations. I found the opportunity to take the course of Computational Fluid Mechanics & Theory of Hydrofoils because of my good results in previous year. One day in CFD class our course teacher introduced Navier Stokes equation and explained that although its huge application, the complete solution of all…

Judge, Jackson, Shaw, Scott, and Rich (2007) performed a meta-analysis, which explored the impact of self-efficacy on task- and work-related performance, while holding individual variables constant. Through performing a multivariate analysis of these data, they found that the impact of self-efficacy on work performance was affected by several variables. Judge et al. (2007) found that self-efficacy provided greater incremental validity, or value added, when the complexity of the relevant job or…
