Design Process An element of graphic design that could have a positive effect on students was design process. The design process assisted graphic designers with processing information and ideas. The graphic design process introduced how to think more like an explosion of ideas than linear line of one idea. Linear thinking was about one idea and attaching to that idea. While, lateral thinking was trying multiple ideas at once and changing and improving them over time. Hernandez and Prathibha…

advantages of mind mapping technique. 2.8.1 Definition of Mind Mapping Mind Maps were popularized by author and consultant, Tony Buzan. He used a two-dimensional structure, instead of the list format conventionally used to take notes. According to Buzan (2002), mind mapping is a graphic representation of ideas (usually generated via a brainstorming session). It shows the ideas which are generated around a central theme and how…

Previous studies have established that the gene responsible for Huntington’s disease (HD) is located in chromosome 4 – labeled as 4p16.3. Early symptoms of the disease include chorea or involuntary movements, loss of balance, as well as cerebral atrophy1. Although the disease has a late onset, juvenile form of the disease is also probable. The disease is manifested in children and teenagers and is characterized by transmission from an affected father (paternal transmission effect), unusually…

China’s world map was made in 1763 and drawn by Mo Yi Tong (China’s 1418 World Map) It is written on the map that this map was copied from a map that originated from 1418 in China. During that time Zheng He was already on his voyages going to India, the middle east, coast of Africa, and maybe even America if this map is true. The next clue that hints at the Chinese visiting the Americas is written in Zheng He’s accounts…

Chris was confident in his ability to navigate the Alaskan wilderness, he believed this so he felt he did not need a map. People may believe this is a ignorant move but if Chris is not going to use the map or doesn't know how to navigate with the map, what is the sense in keeping it. This is where I agree to a certain degree with…

governments; yet, as time went on, different groups began to use these newly implemented borders to their advantage. There are practices such as using passport systems, that were used even before the implementation of fixed national borders. The concept of maps changed with the implementation of fixed borders, since the European settlers and indigenous populations had different attitudes surrounding the way territories existed. Upon the enforcement of fixed borders, nomadic groups such as the…

allowed Shaw & McKay to boost their ideas multiple steps forward, allowing them to point out a reason and also map out their social disorganization theory. “Burgess and his students scoured the city of Chicago for data that could be used for maps, gleaning information from city agencies and making more extensive use of census data than any other social scientist of the time,” (Bulmer 1984). The map in which Burgess and his students created was split into five zones: 1) Loop 2) Transition zone 3)…

slightly using the Buffer tool, as it is a line layer, to more accurately represent its presence, due avoid any eventual issues in resolution. The vector layers needed to be converted to raster using the polygon to raster tool, to generate a cost raster map for input into the cost direction tool. A 15m resolution was used to match that of the digital elevation model. The Euclidean distance tool was used on the Clip_Rivers layer to measure the distance each cell is from the river. The raster part…

Decision making is a process that involves evaluating pros and cons, considering benefits and drawbacks, and taking into account varying scenarios. On the government scale, reaching conclusions comes with much more complexity as varying politics, ethics, perspectives, arguments, social beliefs, laws, rights, and people of all different backgrounds are thrown into the mix. Controversy is common as a result of all of the different angles to be considered. One controversy in particular that has…
