To What Extent do IQ Tests Effectively Measure Intelligence? Introduction Albert Einstein, a famous theoretical physicist, once said that “the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.” While scholastic aptitude can play a large role in determining one’s intelligence, creativity is also a major factor. IQ tests, or intelligence quotient tests, are supposed to measure intelligence, but due to their ability to measure creativity, their accuracy is highly debated. According to…

Journal Description Strength Weakness On the product line selection problem under attraction choice models of consumer behavior (Schön, C. , 2010) This paper shows an exact approach for maximizing profit-oriented product line design (PLD) with continuous price. This exact approach separated by consumer behaviors into two models, which consumer choices are aggregated or broken apart into each customer segment (different price). The consumer behavior in this approach is predicted by famous…

Be Aware Introduction ‘In a hundred years [...] women will have ceased to be the protected sex. Logically they will take part in all the activities and exertions that were denied them.’ Virginia Woolf wrote this in 1929. Almost a hundred years have passed so the time has come to ask ourselves: Is Virginia Woolf going to be right? Do women now participate in every area of society that was once forbidden ground? A few weeks ago the headlines in the Dutch papers shouted that ‘we’ had failed to…

Exploration: Research Question: How does the travel distance of light waves affect the distance between the constructive interference fringes in the Double Slit experiment? Personal Engagement/Topic: Light is seen everywhere, artificial and natural. It is so common, that no one really questions it. But what is light made of? Intuitively, I would answer that visible light is a particle. It makes sense, doesn’t it? The photon from the source shoots into the eye’s retina, and the eye’s rods and…

Harmonics: Harmonic distortions are injected at the generation as well as the consumer end. At the consumer end, harmonics are caused by nonlinear loads such as PCs, CFLs, electronic devices, etc. The harmonics distortion caused by non-linear load such as electric arc furnaces, large concentrations of arc discharge lamps, variable speed motors, saturation of magnetization of transformer and a distorted line current. The current generated by such loads will interact with power system impedance…

Integrity can be defined as the quality of being honest, and having strong moral principles and uprightness. It is the state of being whole and undivided, the word integrity comes from the same Latin root as integer and implies a wholeness of a person. Just as we would talk about a whole number, we can also talk about a whole person who is undivided. A person of integrity lives rightly, he/ she is not divided, neither are they a different person in different circumstances. Excellence work hand…

Many of us are familiar with the term “Math Anxiety” because we often hear it among students that fear the subject Mathematics. The formal definition of math anxiety as defined by Tobias (1993) is a feeling of nervousness or worriedness that creates tension, therefore preventing someone, usually a student in a college-community setting, to manipulate numbers and solve mathematical problems without panic, paralysis, and mental disorganization. Math anxiety is acknowledged by psychologists around…

The Master Surgery Scheduling Level The MSSP involves the development of an MSS, a cyclic timetable that determines the patient category associated with each block of OR time. At this level, the target is to generate an MSS that balances both beds and nurses daily requirements, while considering surgeons preferences. In this study, it is assumed that surgeons prefer working for certain number of days per week. The model objective function minimizes the weighted sum of peaks in the daily bed…

History of Operation Research According to the history of Operations Research it is said that Charles Babbage (1791-1871) is the father of Operational Research. The name of Operations Research evolved in 1940 during the World War II. This was established in Great Britain with the establishment of groups of scientists to analyze the strategic and tactical problems associated with military operations. The main objective of Operations Research was to find the most efficient usage of limited…

Abstract Academic dishonesty, specifically cheating and plagiarism, has recently increased in popularity. Students are more likely to justify unethical academic behavior. New technology such as cell phones have provided students with new ways to cheat. Plagiarism has also been influenced through technology, such as Internet companies, that have emerged and provide wrong solutions to academic assignments. Integrity What is integrity? Many perceive it as just a word that is used…
