A. Two Areas of Futuring Anticipating the future is an important component for many disciplines. It is also vital for individuals, businesses, and governments to ensure sustainability going into the future. Essentially, futuring does not concentrate on predicting the future but focuses on developing ways to improve it when it comes. Employing futuring techniques looks at ways to prepare for the future by making the appropriate adjustments based on the future expectations or trends (Sikkema,…

Data Analysis: Nature of intelligence in one’s personality and Reality as a dynamic force of constant amendments in The Lost Pearl by Lara Zuberi Cognitive development is the construction of intellectual aptitude including identification, investigation, exposition, sensitivity and judgment, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Nature of intelligence mainly involves the intellectual practicalities, psychological sequences (thoughts), and eminences of intelligent entities. An…

In the movie E.T., directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Melissa Mathison, there are many examples of developmental theories of psychology. Throughout the entire movie, all of the children exhibited examples of varying developmental theories. Elliot went through cognitive childhood development; Michael went through the nurture side of nature vs. nurture and intellectual development; Gertie fit into Piaget 's theory of concrete operational; and lastly all the children came together with…

Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object” (3D Print). The process starts by creating a virtual design of the object. The virtual design is made using a 3D modeling program in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file. Another way the process can start is by using a 3D scanner which makes a 3D digital copy of an object. 3D printing is being used to make individual objects, tailoring to a need rather than replacing…

The rule for first normal form (1NF) is a table in which the intersection of every column and record contains only one value. In other words a table that contains more than one atomic value in the intersection of one or more column for one or more records is not in 1NF. The non 1NF table can be converted to 1NF by restructuring original table by removing the column with the multi-values along with a copy of the primary key to create a new table. See Figure 8.4 for an example of this approach.…

Hierarchal Database “In the network model, the data are represented by collections of records and relationships between data are represented by links. This structure holds for the hierarchical model as well. The only difference is that, in the hierarchical model, records are organized as collections of trees, rather than as arbitrary graphs.”(http://codex.cs.yale.edu/avi/db-book/db6/appendices-dir/e.pdf, 17-10-2014) This database model use rules as each child has one parent and each parent can…

Comparison of Piaget and Vygotsky on Children Cognition A person 's everyday life is threaded by conscious purpose. Minuscule actions such as reaching for food in the cupboard, to developing a cure for a disease, actions are directed towards goals. Conscious awareness reveals itself in part to this purpose, as well as the organization in which we demonstrate our thoughts and actions. The process of cognition involves thinking and mental activity combined, such as memory, problem solving, or…

This paper will study the relationship between a country’s perceived amount of corruption, and how that affects the wages of its domestic workers. The premise behind this paper is that a country that is perceived as being dishonest and corrupt would have lower wages. Corruption in government is seemingly always present in our world. This paper will try to determine if there is a correlation between a country’s perceived corruption and the monthly disposable income its workers earn with…

Data Analysis Biaxial Tensile Tests Different stress and strain definitions have been used to study the biomechanics of soft tissue [24]. The 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress and Green strain definitions have been employed in this study, which are described briefly in the following. The Green strain tensor is defined as E=1/2(F^T F-1), where F is the gradient deformation tensor. For the case of in-plane biaxial stretching in directions 1 and 2, the Green strain in these directions can be written…
