crack a secret German code. After the war ended, computational technology to advance. In 1946 Turing was tasked with creating a computer with the ability to perform nuclear calculations. His response to this challenge was the Mathematical Analyzer Integer And Computer, or MANIAC for short. The MANIAC was the first functional and reliable computer that operated using binary, the language that all modern computers rely on. Computational technology was also fostered with the advent of NORAD. NORAD,…
Central to Russell’s “On Denoting” view is the propositional function. The propositional function is an abstract entity that comes about from the extraction of the denoting phrase such that a gap is produced or some variable, x, that is “essentially and wholly undetermined” (“On Denoting”, 480). In the proposition “an Athenian studied with Plato”, the logical form for such a sentence is “there is an x, x is Athenian, x studied with Plato”. Russell’s analysis of the phrase “an Athenian studied…
Dear four year old self, I solemnly swear to always be right. And in the words of Anne Lamott, the author of Bird by Bird, “perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people.” Growing up, I have learned and experienced my fatal flaw, pride. That a minor moment in time has unconsciously impacted my mindset in life. I hated the feeling of making mistakes; therefore I tried to never make any. It sounds a tad exaggerated, however, it’s true. I was three years old, when I was…
The struggle of imperial culture clashing with internal norms of society awakens Dambudzo Marecheza’s cultivating story of the narrator and his friend in the piece, Black Skin What Mask with their internal struggle of being an outcast. Raising the issue of what is condemned to be a moral or an immoral act when circumstances involve the internal asylum of racism, exclusion, and self-hatred as it consumes the characters. Throughout this imagery of words, Marecheza incorporates a style of writing…
antielectron is a positron it has a positive charge. Protons and neutrons help classify atoms and elements. Atomic number is the amount of protons, it also is the amount of electrons. Atomic mass is the amount of protons and neutrons. Leptons are half-integers spin that does not undergo many interactions. There are two types, ones with negative charges, like electrons, and ones with a neutral charge, like neutrons. These are a type of antimatter. Usually atoms are measured in femtometers. The…
Question no: 1 Explain and differentiate between software, hardware and firmware: Software: Software is a set of programs that are executed in hardware. Moreover, software is a set of hardware instructions and their representations, which we call programs. The American heritage dictionary defines software as: “Written or printed data such as programs, routines and symbolic languages, essential to the operation of computers.” Software is anything that controls hardware. Software does not exist…
Object-oriented programming has opened the possibility that software components can be constructed and re-used with more credibility. Software developers can create software objects that model real-world objects, and then create variables and methods that constitute the object they are developing. Programming utilizing real-world like objects makes the development process easier and more relatable for the individual or team overall by making it easier to understand how objects are interconnected…
The PVRP develops the classical Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) to a planning horizon of several days. Each customer requires a certain number of visits within this time horizon while there is some flexibility on the exact days of the visits. The PVRP is a problem which occurs in companies that have to accomplish periodic repair and maintenance activities or that collect/deliver goods periodically. ¬Early formulations of the PVRP were developed by Beltrami and Bodin (1974) [13]. Christofides and…
First Draft Community Profile Throughout the decades Computer Science has become a growing career field. Many students choose to major in it as both undergraduate and graduate students. But, like any other major there other students who have dropped out of Computer Science for specific reasons. So Now the question “Is Computer Science a good choice for a major?” is being asked. Depending on the person an individual is, Computer Science is a good major. In this research, to answer the question…
The zeros are where the graph crosses the X axis. These zeros are also known as the solutions or the roots. The types of zeros that functions can have are rational zeros, irrational zeros, or complex zeros. Rational zeros are just the basic integers. Irrational zeros have radicals that can’t be removed. Complex zeros have imaginary numbers. Out of these 3 types of zeros, a quartic function can only have 4 rational/irrational zeros, 2 rational/irrational zeros and 2 complex zeros, or 4 complex…
