Human–computer interaction

The 2016 United States Presidential Election has brought questions of prejudice, and how to prevent it, to the forefront of the American political and cultural discussion. One method of reducing prejudice being continually brought up in think pieces is the contact hypothesis. For many authors of these articles, the hypothesis is something of a ray of hope in what they perceive as dark times. Per James Hamblin (2016) of The Atlantic, application of the hypothesis can be a tool to “immunize” a…

I believe that “The Cosmological Argument” for God is still quite valid, my reasons for defending this argument have been produced after a great deal of reflection on the matter, I have concluded that the argument is still quite useful. To best describe the argument, it is the conclusion that “nothing comes from nothing” as was stated by St. Aquinas, in other words God must exist because if there was nothing then we needed something to “call it into existence” so to speak. This coincides…

Computers, which have been around from less than a century, have made a huge impact around the world. However, even if we realize that computers are a basic tool in everyday life, people underestimate the capacity of these computing devices. The first time Google announced that their AlphaGO was going to compete with Go master Lee SeDol Kudan, my comrades and I had a strong faith on Lee. However, as we all know, the result surprised the world. Consequently, I believe we should not only make…

Paramecia, unicellular cilliated protozoa, usually are ovoid and elongated. They widespread in brackish environments and freshwater. Length of the species are various ranging from 50 micrometers to 330 micrometers. They feed on yeasts, algae, and small protozoa which are captured by them through phagocytosis, devouring a particle by “wrapping pseudopodia around it and packaging it within a food vacuole” (Campbell and Reece 2011). They also serve as the models for the study of basic biological…

direct admit to the School of Informatics and Computing. Although I started the course with a basic understanding of what the difference between informatics and computer science was, I continue to learn the difference in the details between the two fields. I have declared informatics as my major, but the class has sparked an interest in computer science and I have been considering a minor in the field. During my last two years of high school I took programming and advanced programing while…

Swipe bloodstains which is in the catorgory of transfer bloodstain patterns, are created when a wet bloody object comes in contact with a target surface. Its use to identify an object or body part. A wipe pattene is created from an obkect moving through the a bloodstain, while a swipe pattens is created from an obect leaving bloosstain. Number is mark a swipe bloosstain becasue there seems to be a swipe of a hand print or sometime of object that has moved through the bloodstain, their are also…

1) According to the article, “Theories and Practices of Multimodal Education: The Instructional Dynamics of Picture Books and Primary Classrooms,” multimodality is defined as a product that includes multiple modes of representation. These modes represent elements of print, visual images, audio, and design. In other words, the term “text” is no longer paper and pencil to make print, but can be a combination of many other modes as well. This new way of thinking about text and what it entails puts…

an outside force and an object at rest will remain at rest unless of course, acted upon an outside force. Newton’s second law states that the force of an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. The third law of motion is the law of interaction. This states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every actions force there is an equal force of action in the opposite direction. It took Galileo, Copernicus, and Kepler to prove Aristotle 's theory wrong. On the…

The four fundamental forces have been around before mankind. These forces shape the way we live and interact with the objects around us on a daily basis. These forces are so important, they are in existence throughout the entire universe. Black holes, the formation of planets, galaxies and stars are all because of gravity and these same celestial bodies have their own electromagnetic forces and the strong and weak nuclear forces are. Since everything in the universe is made of atoms, there is…
