Function

Erard shows that bilinguals are better cognitive thinkers. His research reveals that going from language to language is easier. (This is the same for multitasking, and focusing on certain tasks, while later transitioning with ease.) Their executive functions were more mature, and the effects of aging were lessened. Since language knowledge improves brain health, the mind lives longer alongside multiple languages or dialects. Bilingualism in children proves this point, since children are learning…

Executive function is defined as “cognitive control abilities depending on the prefrontal cortex that organize, sequence, and regulate behaviors” and self-regulation is defined as “the ability to regulate resources in the service of achieving goals” (Schonert-Reichl…

load. This will achieves O(log(AVG [max┬i⁡celi , min┬i⁡flo] ) running time. These zones are categorized as follows and so on. Then instead of hashing all the nodes in the system, we start hashing each node in a specific zone by using spooky hash function illustrated in next subsection, then based on the hashes obtained the nodes are organized in levels (level 1 to 3 based on number of nodes) and the node with the highest weighted hash in the upper level will be assigned as coordinator of this…

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves brain atrophy in areas of the core network (i.e. prefrontal, parietal and temporal cortices; McKee et al., 2006). These regions have been implicated in episodic memory (EM), memories for events related to one’s personal past (Buckner et al., 2005), and mental simulation for the future (Addis, Wong, & Schacter, 2007; Hassabis, Kumaran, & Maguire, 2007). Episodic future thinking (EFT) refers to the ability to envision oneself in a future or imagined scene that one…

The purpose of Aristotle’s function argument is to determine the function of the human being, in order to identify the true human good. The role of the argument in Aristotle’s investigation is to eliminate typical natures belonging to living species and determine the characteristic that is most unique to human life, which is ration. Then stating how human function is an activity of the soul, Aristotle uses his elimination method to state that in order for the human function to be performed well,…

improved non-linguistic cognitive functioning in the elderly. Another problem with the claim of a bilingual advantage is that determining the direction of causality is difficult. It is hard to determine whether bilingualism is enhancing executive function or the reverse. In order to resolve this problem, we need appropriate designs and optimal statistical methods as well as carefully selected measures of executive…

The cosine was developed as the sine of the complement of the angle, and notation for cosine was also varied. The term sinus residuae was used by Viete while Gunter preferred co-sinus in the year 1620. Cavalieri used Si.2, Oughtred used s co arc and Wallis used S [2]. The tangent and cotangent developed out of the need to calculate the height of an object casting a shadow of a certain length, which was of critical importance for the sundial. Thales is known to have used the method of lengths of…

people with type 2 diabetes to adhere with their treatment plan to improve diabetes care as measured by serial HbA1c measurements over an 18 month study period. This study was particularly notable because it also used other endpoints such as renal function (assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio), the lipid profile, (assessed by total, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels), and other indices such as blood pressure, waist…

Early acquisition of vocabulary, and the development of linguistic and communicative competence have been largely associated with the input children get from their environment. The social world, home environment, and routines children are exposed to provide the input they need in order to become competent speakers. Even when the child is in utero, the spoken language outside of the womb affects children’s sensitivity to certain sounds. Consistent with this idea, there is evidence showing that…
