Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) TERCOM is an algorithm that analyses the mean absolute distance by matching the distance between the map depth and the measured depth, as explained by (Carreno, 2010). With TERCOM, the measurements from a certain profile along the trajectory are processed in batch, but it may also be run recursively. The method indirectly assumes constant position offsets from the INS position each time it is started. Point Mass Filter (PMF) PMF is a calculation that determines…

the church, where she felt “oppression and drowsiness” overcome her (Chopin 47). As the novel unfolds, we find that she never returns to church after that day. Therefore, her lack of a connection with God is prevalent. Also, it may have once been expected of her to attend church and follow the Word of God as much as possible. So, it is not surprising that she decides to abandon her relationship with Him in order to follow her interests, which are to rebel against societal expectations. If she…

Leidner wrote a book, Fast Food Fast Talk: Service work and the routinization of everyday life, in which she worked in and observed working life in a McDonalds and compared it to an insurance company.

We rise to our expectations. When we have goals to meet and expectations to fulfill, we feel inclined to do just that, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we should. People make decisions based on what’s expected of them, but becoming “what you are capable of becoming” doesn’t always mean becoming something you are happy with. When the people all around you expect you to be something, when you just want to be someone else, it can foster unhappiness and loneliness. Goethe believes that,“if I treat…

By human nature we constantly make attributions regarding the cause of other people’s behavior as well as our own behavior. We may strive to be objective, but nevertheless, we are prone to perceptual errors, or attribution biases, based on our own expectations. Often our expectations are based on assumptions that we have made about people. The fundamental attribution error refers to when we over-emphasize the role of dispositional factors in explaining other people’s behavior while minimizing…

The Use of Sound Design in Creating Fiction The crowd rustles, the jostling for seats rises and then slowly abates. Lights begin to dim, and a quiet stillness of anticipation palpably subdues the audience. After darkness and silence fills that space of minute eternity, sounds in orchestra escape into wanting ears and thus a sojourning through story, in the form of theatre, begins its irrepressible rein. Regardless of technology, or venue sophistication; regardless of social status or…

Growing up in a small town, everyone knew everyone. You cannot go to the store without running into one of your grandparent’s friends or a coworker of your parents. Before you even introduced yourself the person you were talking to already knew many details about you. Now this can get extremely annoying but nothing is as annoying as when your teachers would have set expectations for you because they had taught your older siblings that had come before you. My two older sisters were not only great…

In the American grade school system you are advised rather by your parents or mentors to start thinking about college, years before high school graduation. In American culture we are taught at a young age to optimistically share our dreams of what we want to be when we grow up. It is a conventional perception that any child can be what they they want to be if they put their mind…

The text mentions “how in 1994, Roese proposed that thinking counterfactually simply is functional in two ways such as; preparative function (for which helps us to avoid the recurrence of negative outcomes) and affective function (thinking in ways to help individuals feel better)” (Chapter 6, pg. 62). The text also mentions about “how when one or any individual fails to achieve a goal, it can often lead to a negative affect which in turn can either activate upward or downward counterfactual…
