The adhesive would be put on the teeth where the brackets would be stuck right on the teeth. The adhesive got rid of the need to wrap the tooth individually. The use of stainless steel instead of gold and silver did not become popular until the 1960s. In the 1970s dentists found the material acceptable, it helped the dentists and the patients with the price of the…

The nature of the mind in relation to the body is a widely debated and unsolved topic that has plagued the human quest for truth. The question has deep philosophical roots and has several titles, for example, the mind-body problem, mind-body interaction problem, or the hard problem of consciousness. Prima facie, the question may appear unnecessary as we ourselves obviously have minds, and we can physically feel and experience the world around us. Descartes famously stepped up the game on this…

In Tom Wolfe’s essay, “Digibabble, Fairy Dust, and the Human Anthill,” Wolfe utilizes his knowledge of sociobiology to explain the concepts of “convergence” and the “noosphere”, which are thought to be precursors to the World Wide Web, i.e., the Digital Universe. He found a specific interest in convergence. Wolfe states, “Thanks to technology, ‘the hitherto scattered” species Homo sapiens was being united by a single ‘nervous system for humanity,’ a ‘living membrane…a unified consciousness that…

model. SERVQUAL questionnaire randomly distributed between patients with at least two days hospitalization. It helped to understand about patients expectations about an ideal hospital and then their perceptions about current hospital. It showed the gap in quality of provided services. The SERVQUAL questionnaire includes 24 questions, distributed across 5 variables related to quality of services from patient’s point of view: Tangible, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. The…

the study took on an interpretive perspective. Which revealed that African patients displayed typical symptoms of schizophrenia; however, the source of symptoms was explained by alien control, obsessions by witches or jinns (S47). However, the explanatory models differed depending on age and when the on-set of schizophrenia occurred. From these results Napo et al suggest that an integration of traditional and ethnopharmacological approaches and modern medicine to treat patients in a culturally…

3.1.3 Pump A pump is a gadget that moves liquids (fluids or gasses), or once in a while slurries, by mechanical activity. Pumps can be characterized into three noteworthy gatherings as indicated by the technique they use to move the liquid: direct lift, dislodging, and gravity pumps. Pumps work by some component (regularly responding or turning), and expend vitality to perform mechanical work by moving the liquid. Pumps work by means of numerous vitality sources, including manual operation…

politics cannot exist without context, Fenton delves into the idea of insisting on the contextual. The context of radical politics in Western democracies includes the tremendous power of corporations and financial agencies over public priorities. The gap between the rich and poor is the largest it has been in the last 30 years, the richest 1% saw huge increases in their global assets while the bottom half of the world’s population own less than 1%. Research shows how inequality damages our…

How the Colonization of India was Detrimental Though the British created a new political and social system in the Raj, the outcome and methods behind these additions proved to be detrimental to the Indian culture and survival. The British exploited the Indians lack of power in the government and deficient literacy rates to strip them of and violate their culture. As a result of British rule, all Indians had no voting rights and no say at all in the decisions made within their country. This…

accounting for the spatial inhomogeneity with spatially varying slopes and intercepts. At each prediction location, the GWR picks up nearby training data points and constructs a weighted linear regression model of the dependent variable based on explanatory variables. There exists a set of options for determining whether a training point is included and its corresponding weight for constructing the linear model at a prediction location (Fotheringham…

Reflection The late Dr. Seuss said it best when he said “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you 'll go” (Goodreads INC, 2016). I had an opportunity to observe and interview two educators reading instruction. The first educator I observed and interviewed was Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Thomas is a fifth grade teacher who has been teaching for over 15 years. She has taught fifth grade for nine. Mrs. Thomas thrives in assuring that her students…
