This question has psy-chologists wondering for centuries. How do we decide if we want to spend our money on something or rather save it to spend it later on something else? What makes us wait for a re-ward rather than receiving instant gratification? Several studies have been…

Trichotillomania has been officially classified as an “impulse control disorder”, but some patients have also been known to develop secondary symptoms associated with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (Mental Health America, 2016). Researchers have developed a method which has proven beneficial in order to gain a better understanding of Psychiatric Neurotransmitters and their function during abnormal brain activity for OCD patients utilizing a PET. Researchers scanned the brain activity of a…

bleeding. She had stabbed herself. Nonetheless, she finishes the final act so well that the crowd doesn’t even notice the formation of the blood on her abdomen. In the final scene, the suicide scene, she’s falls off the “cliff” and lands onto the mattress. It’s here that she finally looks to be at peace. After all, she had said earlier that she thought the suicide scene was beautiful. Her final words: “I felt it. Perfect. I was perfect” (Aronofsky 2010). The symbolism and subliminal messages…

technology has also proved to us it can, in an alarmingly rising number of cases, do a great deal more harm than good. Such a situation would be in the form of addiction. As we find more and more methods to entertain and enjoy ourselves, our fascination with these machines increases, and we find ourselves lost in a black hole of fantasy and false reality. As harmless as this sounds, when paired with excessive and unrestricted use of the internet, the line between real and virtual gets thinner…

results of impulse response functions analysis and variance decomposition. Afterwards, we turn to subsection 4.3 to test reliability of the VAR model. 4.1 Testing for significance and Granger-causality According to Wald test (Table 5) the hypothesis of zero coefficient before oil price variable in GDP equation is not rejected in all analysed countries except Russia. This means that Russia is the only country where oil prices effect real economic activity directly. The fact…

Harmonics that are created by non-linear devices connected to the power system. Power system harmonics are multiples integer of the fundamental power system frequency and these harmonic frequencies can create distorted voltages and currents. Distortion of voltages and currents can impact on the power system adversely causing power quality problems. Therefore, approximation of harmonics is of high importance for efficiency of the power system network to maintain the quality limits recommended by…

Self-Control In Titus 1:8 it states “Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.” As stated in this verse Paul instructs Titus that managers of His household must be self- controlled.

Amy’s mother immigrated from China, so she could not pronounce it clearly,…

described as inputs and outputs. The relationship between the input and the output can be quantitatively described in form of a mathematical model. This description could be outlined through a parametric model which uses a group of parameters usually incorporated in a few differential equations governing the physics of the system or a non-parametric model through measurements of the system at a large number of points [35]. Parametric approach often requires an in depth knowledge of the system…

People are something Quentin can advise but not control. Quentin even used the abstraction of committing incest with his sister Caddy to pacify the anger from the boys Caddy loves. Quentin keeps reminding himself about “death at the salt licks” to tell himself that Caddy can change. Quentin used the word “death” to signify the manipulation he has on his ideas and the potential of abstractions to collapse under reality(95,102). Salt blocks are used to lure deer and in this context it is something…
