So, what happens when one of the five senses are removed from a human being? The only conclusion is the electrochemical ‘map’ of our brain is forever altered in a way that leaves something lacking. Now, let’s take it further and remove one, two, three, and the last remaining sense. This brain should no longer be receiving any physical stimuli, however, the thought, “I exist”…
NASA Overview The Mars Surveyor Program (MSP) was managed under the cheaper, better, faster paradigm at the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA). This corporate culture created an environment which challenged NASA engineers to develop innovative, cost saving processes when designing and developing projects. This paradigm did have drawbacks though; putting too much emphasis on decreasing cost, and failing to integrate risk management in their projects. Ultimately, this mindset led…
The amplitude and phase characteristics of an EOD can be manipulated in order to elucidate the receptive fields of the electrosensory neurons of the lateral line lobe. The experiment described above involving the Eigenmannia in a two-compartment chamber apparatus allows researchers to identify the approximate location of the neuron’s receptive field responding to amplitude modulations (Heiligenberg 1987). In order to identify the approximate location of the receptive fields for neurons that are…

would mix wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet techniques) to create a beautiful and compelling piece of art, researchers who run concurrent qualitative and quantitative studies often end up with quite a mess. Readers of mixed studies, being influenced by projections in the quantitative portion of the study, may try to extend observations from the qualitative portion of the study, and end up with invalid conclusions. In your case, presenting the conclusions of your qualitative focus group research in the…
Air force one documentary First of all, I picked a documentary call “Air force one”. Air force one is named of a planes, and this aircraft is only served one person that is the president of the United States. Other than commercial airline, Air force one have to get ready all the time to take the president anywhere around the world that he wants to go. Sometimes Air force one have to facing many problems, such as bad weather and dangers air space. The main points of the documentary were showed…
The dominant terrain from the Venera 14 site is localized plains composed of tholeiitic lavas (Weitz and Basilevsky, 1993). Geologic maps of the Venus landing sites characterize the most abundant terrain type as plains (Weitz and Basilevsky, 1993). Two events were revealed from the seismometer, but these events could have been from the lander operations (Ivankov, NASA archive). Three…
God and the Devil. Although it seems like the Canela have an excessive number of festivals and rites, they do not worship a supernatural being when practicing any of these ceremonies. Their ceremonies are this-worldly in the individual’s mental projection and is for self-development, not for supernatural intervention. The Canela’s “religion” is largely this-worldly and does not have worship or prayer in our usual Western…
In the text titled "Monuments, Modernism and the Public Space" authors Pam Meecham and Julie Sheldon explore how urbinisation affected monuments especially when they were used to beautify and signify an entire city's identity or history. In this text there are two main focal points in which the authors expand on and a look into todays monuments status. They firstly focus on how contrasting message-wise the socialist and democratic monuments are, even though they appear to be similar in form and…
SWAP (www.texasindustryprofiles.com/apps/swap/): The purpose of SWAP (Strategic Workforce Assessment Program) is a data-driven strategy to better connect employer hiring requirements, workforce training, and education delivery by utilizing Detailed Work Activities (DWAs). Originally called the “Missing Link” project, SWAP’s goal is to identify the final missing link between the “Worlds of Work and Education” by trying to connect DWAs (originally based on O*NET data) to the Texas Workforce…
