sound level sample points, 60 noise dosimetry samples and 20 air samples were collected. I developed and implemented a pump cycling/battery maintenance program. It was also necessary to coordinate equipment calibration and repair. I assisted with GHS safety data sheet (SDS) generation and Label Vendor Identification. I also developed and implemented the SDS Back-up Process. I served as the sites backup Fit Tester. During the majority of the ten week period there was not an Occupational…
MINDFULNESS Researchers Zhou, Liu, Niu, Sun, and Fan (2016); Zhang et al. (2016); reported Mindfulness can add quality to life by fostering a feeling of inner peace to increase self-confidence. In additon, some researcher’s study showed a decrease in bullying, increased the student's ability to focus more, especially in ADHD students, reduce attention problems and increase social skills. Mindfulness can be accomplished by the use of pictures, food, and music that help students focus attention at…
(and unpunished at that) would be put with a victim of rape. Some assumed that Tom Baker was reintroduced as a means of tackling (any maybe even rectifying, if possible) this, but inappropriate discourse and an imbalanced focus on Franco showed that GH hadn't learned from its ugly history of mishandling the topic of sexual assault and using it as a plot-device. It was so disconcerting that a pivotal story that hadn't been levered in almost 20 years was unearthed, not to serve the legacy…
It’s safe to say that our new principal, Gary Kalish, has started to feel a more comfortable in our little school, especially on the dance floor at homecoming! This is the first full school year GHS will have Mr.Kalish as its principal! Starting even before his time here, things as Greenport High School have been changing. In a recent interview Mr.Kalish was asked deeper questions, clarifying some questions that have been floating around this year. Here at Greenport Advanced…
Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide consisting of β(1→ 4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) units in a linear form. Chitin is insoluble in water and mainly exists in two crystalline (α- and β-) forms. The α-chitin consists of sheets of tightly packed alternating parallel and antiparallel chains (1) and is abundant in the exoskeleton of arthropods, insects, fungi, and yeast cell walls. The chains are arranged in parallel orientation in β-chitin (2), which occurs less…
The exact cause of Turner Syndrome is unknown ,but scientists think it is caused by an error in the separation of the parents sex chromosomes. Before girls are born they are tested for TS using a certain ultrasound. They also have genetic testing for pregnant women during their first trimester. Many people are concerned that their girls are going to have TS when they are born. The most common symptom of TS is short stature. Many women with TS will only grow up to 4”8in. Another common…
What is phonemic awareness? According to Begin to Read Authors, it is “the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds-phonemes—in spoken words.” Phonemic awareness is often mistaken for phonics; the way readers connect the sound of words to the letters of the words. Phonemic awareness is extremely important for students to learn at a young age because it helps them learn how to spell. It is also important for beginner readers since it helps improve their comprehension and…
Case Study: Hereditary Canine Spinal Muscular Atrophy Genetic Background Hereditary canine spinal muscular atrophy (HCSMA) is proven to be an autosomal-dominate disease that affects most noticeably the Brittany spaniel (Pinter MJ, Waldeck RF, Wallace N, & Cork LC, Motor Unit Behavior in Canine Motor Neuron Disease, 1995). HCSMA originated as a spontaneous mutation in the Survivor Motor Neutron gene found in the purebred Brittany spaniel population (Ericsson. A & Rubin. C, 2012). Due to the…
Problem: Apparatus 1: what is the relationship between height of release and the initial velocity? Apparatus 2: What is the relationship between length of the ball catcher and the final velocity of the system? Additional question: What is the percentage error of the initial velocity calculated using momentum and kinematics? Percentage error between theoretical initial velocity and experimental initial velocity? How much energy is lost? note: the initial velocity calculated using kinematics…
