Decibel

Car accidents have become the most common way for teens to die. This is all due to distractions in the car. There are many reasons on why a driver could be distracted. Some of these reasons include changing the radio station, talking to passengers, eating, drinking, being sleepy and using a cell phone. Most teens today have cell phones, which is one of the biggest distraction. A person may be walking down the hall and feel their phone vibrate, so they pull it out and respond to the text…

Accordingly health and safety representatives(HSR) are concerned with regards to the severity, frequency and magnitude of injuries to disability development support officers (DDSO) at a disability accommodation facility (DAS) in Bundoora . On 15 October , 2015 representatives from the health and community services union (HACSU) visited the workplace to…

effects of bruxism (as many of those who have slept in the same room as me can attest to). If anything, lucid dreams are almost nightly journeys of cognitive escape that makes the world a little bit better by not plaguing my roommate with double the decibels of thrashing in bed, gnashing teeth, and yelling unintelligible phrases. But no, they’ll still be there at half the volume. The (probably) undetachable trio of nocturnal half-curse, half-blessing will continue to live, wake, and sleep in my…

Every day I try harder than the day before. I genuinely wish this had been the case my entire life, but that is just not true. When I first began my college career, I felt adrift in a world that was rapidly maturing without me. I excelled in the classes I enjoyed, and coasted with minimal effort in those I found less appealing, assuming that I continued to go at all. My friends were contemplating the classes which would propel them into their careers, while I reflected upon the pervasive feeling…

Cognitive Effects of Cerebellar Dysfunction The cerebellum is regarded as an essential neural structure for motor control. At a tenth of the brain’s volume, it contains the majority of neurons in the brain. Many cortical areas project into the primate cerebellum; these include the primary motor and prefrontal cortices. Damage to the cerebellum is known to result in impaired motor function. Patients with cerebellar lesions may exhibit ataxia, unbalanced gait; dysmetria, lack of coordination in…

motor output is determined. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11549224, https://openi.nlm.nih.gov/detailedresult.php?img=PMC1479352_1471-2202-7-38-1&req=4] The pre-pulse inhibition test is a test where the animal is exposed to a pulse at a certain decibel before a louder sound is played, and the animal’s startle is recorded. If the pre-pulse is not loud enough, or the animal is reared in a way that pre-pulse has a lesser effect on the startle inhibition, the startle of the animal is quite…

abuses the Youtube comment section. The internet has given Trump and many other offensive people, a platform to hide behind hateful statements. In “Cyberspace: If You Don’t Love It, Leave it” by Esther Dyson, she reveals, “Without a moderator, the decibel level often gets too high” (Dyson, The McGraw-Hill Reader: Issues across the Disciplines). When Trump is not corrected, he says anything that comes to mind. People on the internet have this freedom as well. When Trump is allowed to say…

Introduction Territorial defensive behavior is defined by Ruback (1997) as the defense of a territory by an individual, indicating self as proprietor of the territory’s value and resources. The purpose of this research is to examine territorial defense in a temporary public territory. Public territories comprise of public water fountains, library aisles, video game arcades, and public parking lots. These areas are temporarily held by an individual for a limited amount of time, until the need…

Optical fiber thin as hair is everywhere on this planet, carries an enormous amount of information from place to place. There are a number of desirable characteristics of the optical fiber for conveying this information. They have the ability to carry large amounts of information, a low cost and have the immunity from electrical wiring and wireless communication link a number of disturbances that can afflict. Advantages of optical fibers for transmitting information from place to place, it…

The beating sound of helicopter blades is often perceived as noise; however, Stockhausen utilizes helicopters as the primary instrument in his “Helicopter String Quartet”. This utilization of unique sounds manipulated by technology is what sets Stockhausen apart as an innovative composer of the 20th century. Stockhausen’s music often seems to better resemble noise rather than music when it is first heard. However, it is due to his deeper understanding of sound and new methods of composing that…
