Fractal

For this paper, I will be forming an in-depth analysis of Adrienne Marie Brown’s “Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds” based on her critique, vision, and strategy. The main argument that I will present in my paper is bringing the concept of emergent strategy as means of a way for all of us from different backgrounds, identities, and beliefs to become creators of our future together. It is through relationship-building between individuals and communities to find a common ground…

intuitively. The injury, while devastating, seems to have unlocked part of his brain that makes everything in his world appear to have a mathematical structure. "I see shapes and angles everywhere in real life" — from the geometry of a rainbow, to the fractals in water spiraling down a drain, Padgett told…

As a universal language, mathematics is not only within the education system but rather in almost every aspect of life. When looking outside at nature or even at oneself, various types of symmetrical examples are present. Symmetry, according to the Oxford dictionary, means the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. Hence, this similarity within symmetrical patterns, designed within various objects or persons appeals to the eye at first glance due…

If humans desire order, then why do they disregard regulations? Sometimes people disobey rules because of their desire to feel superior/powerful. Other times, it may be because the rules themselves are unjust. In spite of this, rules are a necessity for survival. “Without order, the human race would not have survived. We have few natural defenses, and our ability to organize has allowed us the opportunity to create safety and stability for ourselves” (thewitness.org). Examples of this can be…

mathematics. Three years ago I took a summer class in a camp at Yale University called “the Mathematics of Beauty” and since then I continue to delve deeper into that topic. This encompasses concepts such as the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio, fractals, and curves. For example, for my IB Mathematics internal assessment paper last year I explored the Golden Ratio in architecture. I am also enrolled in the IB Visual Arts class at my school which always me to further express my…

The novels "The Jurassic Park" and "The War of the Worlds" were written by Michael Crichton and H.G. Wells respectively. The former was published in 1990 and the latter in 1898. Both novels belong to the science fiction genre and deal with issues related to survival of mankind. Wells's novel might have influenced the film version of "The Jurassic Park (1993)" although there is almost a century difference between their creations. An interesting fact is that Steven Spielberg, the director of the…

).” (Tougaloo College NTSCOE Case Study: D.C. Sniper Attack’s video, 2011, Verton Multimedia). Potential outcomes: the public would not nave fixated on white box trucks; call center information would not have become unmanageable; and police could have focused on area checkpoints of all vehicles. Problems with intelligence on day 16 led to more mistakes. Confidential suspect communications “leaked” to the media, and the call center may not have properly weighted telephone contact by the…

While it is necessary to delegate different tasks to team members, leaders also possess the responsibility of their team as a whole. While my Robotics team was revising our robot for the VEX Robotics Mid-Atlantic Championships, I made sure to keep track of the team’s progress in the engineering notebook, as well as supervise the work of my fellow team members. At Governor’s School, I will make sure to collaborate and contribute ideas, as well as provide leadership skills such as guidance,…

Peng Wen et al. [50] used a novel index MLDoA to identify different anesthetic states of a patient during surgery. Based on the new index MLDoA, the assessment of depth of anesthesia (DoA) for a patient can be clearly monitored. Firstly, a modified Bayesian wavelet threshold is proposed to de-noise the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Secondly, the Hurst exponent is obtained to classify four states of anesthesia: deep anesthesia, moderate anesthesia, light anesthesia and awake. Finally, the…

that co-regulated genes are able to co-localize in what is referred to as “gene kissing” [1]. The localization of genes arises from the Brownian motion/constrained diffusion and directed movement of chromosomes [1]. It is important to note that the fractal and dynamic loop models reiterate the importance of loop formation in nuclear organization, including compaction, territory establishment, and transcriptional regulation [1]. Another important factor affecting gene regulation is the…
