A. Introduction For my personal learning experience I chose to learn how to juggle. This was chosen because it is something that always looked fun, and I figured why not give it a shot now! At first it was just attempting to juggle without any kind of prior knowledge on it, and without any sort of help or guidance. But, eventually I resorted to using YouTube videos to help learn how to juggle due to the lack of success. I spent just about thirty hours learning this. For the last eight weeks I…

Service learning is taking time in the surrounding community, and making a positive difference through the words or actions that occur. Doing this allows for us to be out and connecting what we are learning to do in the classroom and applying it to the real world. In my service learning time I spent I was able to make a positive difference in the lives a few children even if it was just for a day. I spent a Saturday afternoon working with a Milton Hershey employee in what they call a “home…

As our 40th president, Reagan was someone to look up to. Conservatisms began to take hold and republicans began to be the majority in the government. Many people had renewed hope in President Reagan and his policies he promised to enact during his campaign for presidency in 1980. President Reagan was known for many things including the way he stood up against the Iranian/American hostage crisis under the Carter administration and most importantly his economic policy. The President’s economic…

What causes income inequality has always been a very challenging question. In fact, education has been argued to be one of the leading factor influencing income inequality. Though, most researchers agree on the importance of education as a reason, still some theoretical studies question it. Earlier work from Ram (1989) shows, education is closely related to income distribution in advanced developed countries. Becker and Chiswick (1996) (using panel sets in the United States) suggest a positive…

The UN has recently drafted a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that they aim to achieve by 2030 in different fields such as energy. Indeed, the UN aims to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” (Proposal for Sustainable Development Goals: Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform). Are targets measurable? 7.1 This target can be measured by combining both population and energy consumption data. That way, an energy consumption per capita unit…

would not have gone. In this case an indifference curve was created. In theory consumer optimal choice is represented as the differential curve and the budget constraint points to the choice IF our income had increased by 100%+, we would have gone to the Superbowl and we would have gone on the trip to Mexico! In this case the Utility-Maximizing Solution comes into play. It assumes that each consumer seeks the highest indifference curve possible. “The budget line gives the combinations…

of ions over 72 hours, it was estimated that the combined dissolution of Ni and Co would be around 384μM (272μM for Ni and 112μM for Co) for 200 mg/L of NMC. The experimental data from Trial 1 were discarded due to error in the initial calibration curves. Jan Dolezal’s paper suggested that the sugar to NMC ratio varied between 0.5:1 and 2:1. However, in Trial 2, a wider range of ratios were chosen to explore the effect of small particles. A positive control was made with the expected Ni and Co…

This essay will assess the effect of interdependence on global security. In an ever more connected world, it is important to understand the effect further interdependence will have on security issues. Interdependence makes states, and individuals less secure in regards to economics, inequality, border security, and leads to rising threats of rebellion. To adequately defend this thesis, one must first accurately define security in the context of this essay. It will then be shown that…

Performance Evaluation In order to assess the model accuracy, it is necessary to use some quantitative measures of learning. In this study the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and regression analysis were used to evaluate the model performance. MSE is a useful measure of success for numeric prediction and is calculated using Eq. (1). It is worth mentioning that small values of MSE indicate better performance of the ANN model. It was found that the optimum performance of the model is at 25 neurons with…

Speculative Essay The overall share of wealth is controlled by the top 1% in the United States. The total income of the United States is increasing every day however, the income gap between the top 1% and the middle is growing more every day.
