Every writer has strengths and weaknesses that make their writing uniquely their own. The strengths are points of pride, the weaknesses are constantly worked on to slowly strengthen and reinforce them to make the writing even better. I believe that my greatest strengths as a writer are my ability to follow through with my thesis and organize my writing in a logical way that improves readability; my biggest weaknesses as a writer are proofreading and planning in advance. As with most things, my…
James presents the idea that our human nature is to believe things that we are passionate about even if there is no sufficient evidence to support the belief. What tends to drive our beliefs is the passion that is behind it. James has a placed a set of standards on any hypothesis to determine if the hypothesis has enough evidence to support the claim. These standards include whether the hypothesis is living or dead, forced or avoidable and momentous or trivial. All of these are taken into…
landmarks. Pokemon Go differs from the mainstream Pokemon games because the intention was for the users to be able to go outside to popular locations and socialize with other users (Herrera). Pokemon Go pairs up with Google maps and utilizes the data from the user’s device and Google maps to create specific…

In a debate to buy or not a new pair of expensive and designer shoes. Eddie and his mother have a dilemma, Eddie has enough money to buy a pair of expensive, designer, and trendy shoes. Eddie believes that if he puts his money towards the shoes he could buy happiness. Meanwhile Eddie’s mother believes happiness cannot be purchased, but memories…
First deference between my hometown, Maghagha and Jersey City is the weather. Both cities have four seasons, but the weather is different for each one of them. The winter in Jersey City is very cold and snowy most of the time, whoever the winter in Maghagha is Warm, rainy, and has no snow. In spite of snow and the cold weather in Jersey City, the life continues because the government and public are prepared for this kind of weather. The government does all effort to keep life running smoothly by…
This paper will study the relationship between a country’s perceived amount of corruption, and how that affects the wages of its domestic workers. The premise behind this paper is that a country that is perceived as being dishonest and corrupt would have lower wages. Corruption in government is seemingly always present in our world. This paper will try to determine if there is a correlation between a country’s perceived corruption and the monthly disposable income its workers earn with…
Data Analysis Biaxial Tensile Tests Different stress and strain definitions have been used to study the biomechanics of soft tissue [24]. The 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress and Green strain definitions have been employed in this study, which are described briefly in the following. The Green strain tensor is defined as E=1/2(F^T F-1), where F is the gradient deformation tensor. For the case of in-plane biaxial stretching in directions 1 and 2, the Green strain in these directions can be written…
ingredients, including chili beans and ground beef. The number of 100-gallon batches of Razorback chili (x1) and Longhorn chili (x2) that can be produced daily is constrained by the availability of chili beans and ground beef, as shown in the following linear programming model: maximize Z = 200x1 + 300x2 (profit, $) subject to 10x1 + 50x2 … 500 (chili beans, lb.) 34x1 + 20x2 … 800 (ground beef, lb.) x1, x2 Ú 0 The final optimal simplex tableau for this model is as follows: cj 300 200 Basic…
Linear programming which is also known as “Linear Optimization” is a way to achieve best outcomes in a Mathematical Model using different linear solutions .Linear Programming is a special case of Mathematical Optimization .Linear programming can be applied to a wide variety of fields of study, and has proved useful in planning, routing, scheduling, assignment, and design, such as in transportation or manufacturing industries. The method of Linear Programming was originally developed by American…
Variance Decomposition Analysis The variance decomposition analysis has applied to quantify the extent up to which the selected indices one influenced by each other. We can also examine the short run dynamic relationship by variance decomposition. While impulse response functions trace the effects of a shock to one endogenous variable in the VAR, variance decomposition separates the variation in an endogenous variable in to the component shocks to the VAR. Thus, the variance decomposition…
