Gutters are an important part of the roof system on a home or building. Allowing rainwater to simply pour off the roof directly down the sides of a structure can compromise the walls, windows and doors, plus ultimately the structural foundation. Understanding how to install gutters properly can be vital in protecting a home or building. How to Install Gutters Replacing old gutters on a home follows roughly the same steps as a first-time gutter installation. The biggest difference between the…

“There are two types of countries in this world. Those who use the metric system, and those that have been to the moon.” Although I can’t remember where I found this quote, it immediately popped into my head when I thought of the metric system in the US. Like many ideas now a days, this one is highly debated. In fact since the time of Thomas Jefferson in 1789, the use of the metric system in the US has been a very popular idea. The metric system comes with its advantages, and its disadvantages.…

interested in pursuing a career in the NICU department caring for high risk newborn’s and their families. To determine whether this career path is right for me I had to do research on the job description, education and certification, employment, and professional activities. Neonatal intensive care unit registered nurses provide critical care to premature and sick newborns. They receive specialized care from a…

1024 Chickens Europe has turned to Skynet for farming advice. European Union agriculture commissioner Phil Hogan announced last Friday a multi-billion dollar plan to integrate digital sensors in every aspect of crop production to “produce more with less.” For instance, data from satellites could determine how best to apply fertilizers and pesticides, thus improving efficiency and crop yields. This undertaking would have been unthinkable a decade ago. But a new advance - parallel…

accomplished by a memory chip are READ in which the data contents of a memory is read out and WRITE in which data is stored in a memory. Each bit of information bits is stored in memory cell consisting of one or more transistors. The most basic such memory unit which stores 1 bit of data is the D flip flop. High performance IC circuits are the need of the day, which require very high memory to support the circuit. With the micro-miniaturization of the circuits, multiple functionalities may be…

SECTION A: ARDUINO BOARD Fig 1. Arduino Uno board 1. ATMEGA328P MICROCONTROLLER FUNCTION: ATMEGA328P is a microcontroller from the AVR family; it is an 8-bit device, which means that its data-bus architecture and internal registers are designed to handle 8 parallel data signals. It has 3 types of memory: • FLASH MEMORY: It is used for storing application, which explains why you don’t need to upload your application every time you unplug Arduino from its power source. • SRAM MEMORY: Storing…

The Intel Corporation made the Xeon Phi in November 2012 with adaptable programming, energy viability etc. This is an alternate stage and which uses the vector changing unit and interconnections. The High execution machines essentially uses the Intel Xeon phi coprocessor and the Nvidia tesla coprocessors. The Nvidia tesla coprocessor mostly uses the GPU’s, which will eat up low essentialness. To make these programming models we make usage of OpenMP for Intel Xeon and for Nvidia we make use of…

Communication We can share our past, enrich our present and expand our futures through the use of social media. It has created a faster motive to get the message across within seconds. Texting, calling, and e-mailing have revolutionized the way we keep in touch and these forms of communication only continue to advance. Efficiency Technology allows us to find creative alternatives and innovations to using nonrenewable and costly resources. From hybrid vehicles to energy efficient light bulbs,…

This paper discusses the important role of the forensics nurse in relationship to evidence collection within the emergency room. This writers experience with forensic evidence collection and preservation is something that has been learned through informal on the job training. Through out this course on forensic nursing, this writer has become more aware of what evidence collection entails, what situations can result in evidence, and how to better recognize, assess and collect evidence. The…

Calculations: In order to calculate the mass of “Object X” from the orbit of its moon the first step needed to be taken is to have specified units for distance (m), time (s), and mass (kg). This needs to be done because they are the units Kepler’s Third Law require in order to be able to obtain the mass of “Object X” properly. The units given in the introduction are in kilometers and days. Therefor the radius has to be converted to Kepler’s Third Law values, so from kilometers to meter…
